Man, over a week without a peep here isn’t like me.

Still listening to Cake. I don’t like short albums, but this one is good. You must go and watch the video for Short Skirt Long Jacket right now. Now! Cake madness is upon us! Protect your children!

Also listening to the Hed Kandi Summer Sampler 2001, which I got because it was cheap at HMV and I really enjoyed Deeper when I bought it on a whim a few months ago. I’m definately getting in touch with my house side.

On Friday I went to the Radiohead show at Molson Park. It was fucking bloody well awesome. Not much more to say. Beta Band and Kid Koala opened. Beta Band was… less than I hoped for. They played a very quick set. Kid Koala came up next, and spinned for about 45 minutes. Just him and three turntables. He’s very talented; I’d only heard a bit of his stuff before, but it sounds to me like he’s gotten a lot better – I might pick up some of his stuff. Radiohead was… well, fucking bloody awesome. There really isn’t much more to say.

The rest of the weekend was filled with stock car racing and seeing Rush Hour 2. I thought it was better than the first one, mainly because Chan stole the show this time around. Good fun. Also watched Heat on DVD. ‘Twas a good $20 spent. Damn I love that movie. Things I wouldn’t have known but for IMDB: Natalie Portman plays Al Pachino’s daughter. Damn. I never noticed.
