AUBREEVISION - Observations from the far side of the dial

Was getting woefully behind on Mindsay culture, and since I'm not working today I've spent the whole freaking day on Mindsay, blogging, reading blogs, updating my profile, etc., etc. Too much coffee made me freaky so I reversed the effect with sleepytime tea and a yummy apple-blackcurrant vodka cooler. Oh, the bliss! 8 hours in, my butt hurts from sitting on my window seat. That voice in the back of my head keeps saying things like "Do your taxes!" "Call the dentist!" "Cook a ham!" To that I say, SHUT YOUR LIPS! Other things could be considered more "important," but blogging makes me giddy and today, I'm pulling it off the back burner. Yeah, you heard me. Movin' on up to the front burner.

My friend and recent Mindsay joiner Wally, a.k.a. superpan, took me up on my recent challenge to list the performers or bands you've seen in concert and one word describing each. He posted his list as a reply to my entry, so here's a reproduced selection:


Public Enemy - older
North Of America - Hardcore Halifax
The Plan - energy
Luther Wright And The Wrongs - ho-down
Sloan - studio
Beck - modest
Metallica - re-born
Linkin Park - metal-hop
Tricky Woo - Hair-band
Buck 65 - tight
The Holy Shroud - Intensity
The Arcade Fire - hyped
Broken Social Scene - crowded
Stars - middle-aged
Wax Maniquen - odd
Eric's Trip - short-lived
Weird Al - production
Lucky Ron - legend
Cat Power - moody
Roch Voisinne (sp) - free
Nana Mousourki - geriatric
Contrived - Contrived
Wesley Willis - funny
Jann Arden - port-a-potty
Bruce Cockburn - port-a-potty
The Rankins - port-a-potty
Our Lady Peace - sellout
Swollen Members - Swollen Egos


Never until the day I die will I let Wally live down the fact that he has seen Nana Mouskouri, she who occupies the space next to Zamfir in my father's 8-track collection, in concert.
