jo was nice enough to buy us tickets to cat power last night at richards so last night at 5:00 pm (after i got off work...)..yes the early show, we headed in for the big rock action.
now chan marshal can be very hit or miss...she's been very shy in the past but now has seemingly become more and more of a rambling stoner...it was one of the worst displays of ADD i have ever encountered. songs half done, long rambling versions of songs, jazz vocalesque singing, etc...it was shitola...and i find it hard saying that because i have enjoyed her music so much in the past. mishi and i saw her many years ago in seattle at the opera house and she was shy but still very good. last night he would stop in the middle of songs, talk to the soundman in the middle of songs and talk about the virtues of drinking tea but that it didn't wake her up like liquor does...ok..it was like we were at sound check...good times...some artists should be heard and not seen...and i think for me the worst part was and maybe is..that after every half song and distracted thought, the crowd clapped like it was the best thing they'd ever seen...except for those who decided to leave early...i guess sometimes it doesn't matter what you do on stage, it's just a matter of who you are. just look at the rolling stones.
then we went and had burrito things at steamrollers, i did some shopping at choices and took jo home...and called it a night. jo went dancing in abbottsford and i took pictures in the best parts of town...
home, tv, bed.
good times.
garn xo
some light...some not...
i drive by here from time to time. it's a building on powell near the hooker chevron at raymur street. whenever i go to raeside equipment i get to see this building...and all the good stuff around there..
and they hung on her every word...
not for from the where the volatge kids live...
