sunny on the inside

you guys, i done goofed and i know it.

i stopped posting, and the world of webernet music kept on a-churnin'. beirut's latest came out and RAC made like... three more life-changing remixes and a new black keys single came out and it's so much go damn fun, i can't help myself

in any case, we'll get to all that in due time. meanwhile, here's a little glass candy. they're portland-based and work with italians do it better, who also happen to host portland/montreal hybrid band desire, with whom we've already had something of a tryst. see if it does anything for you.



in an entirely unrelated matter... now i'm not one for waxing poetic about the lives and welfare of our furry friends; in fact, i may be known for playing a little cheeky republican from time to time, just for kicks. but just a couple of days ago, a few gatineau (that's in quebec, for you non-canucks) police officers got a little slap-happy with the sidearms and gunned down a few stray steers because they 'posed a threat to the public'. my green-thumbed (well... more like green-all-over) classmate camille labchuk does a much better job of covering the story over at huffpo canada; but all you have to do is watch the video to really get a sense for what's going on here. aside from the fact that these trained and uniformed officers can't seem to make contact with an animal the side of a smart car at a range of 5 metres (and expend enough ammunition to stop a humvee in the process), the only danger the poor thing seemed to have posed was eating a few reeds and perhaps knocking over a lawn ornament or two.

i mean, jesus h. christ people. it's the twenty-first century. the poor things were off to be made into hamburger anyways, but no person or creature deserves to be slowly (and inaccurately) shot to death on the side of a highway. show a little class.
