Whoa

K so, some interesting stuff’s happened lately!
The Constantines have been signed to Arts & Crafts – I’m not too sure how I feel about this one, yet. When I first heard about it I was really fucking stoked, A&C is a good label, and they’ve been successful over the years. But when I really got to thinking about it… A&C is full of fucking sissy rock. Broken Social Scene = sissy rock, Feist = sissy girl rock, New Buffalo = even more sissy girl rock, etc. The Cons’ self titled album was straight up, unfiltered rock. Shine a Light was also straight up unfiltered rock, but they added a synth so the rock was diminished slightly. Tournament of Hearts was also pretty rock, but there is definitely a difference… it’s a little more, “working class” rock than the previous “drink 40s under bridges” rock. I’m just kind of worried about where this could take them… I get the feeling they might get all sissy rock on me, and I dont think I could handle that. The Cons are my favorite band, and I really hope it stays that way. Either way, on their new A&C website they posted what seems to be a studio video with a song that could possibly be on the new album. The song’s good (there are no lyrics), it almost reminds me of Chumbawa by the Detroit Cobras.
In other news, I have brown hair again. I’m so fucking stoked about it, I missed brown hair a lot. Also, school’s going well. It’s keeping me insanely busy, which nice. Annnd, friends of mine from all over western Canada are living in my city now, which is fucking excellent.
That’s all!
I’ll update sometime, I guess.
