I have more in common with Tegan (interest in Metric albums, letting someone else speak instead of speaking myself) but am more attracted to Sara. I am conflicted.

Thanks for the link, Ellie!

Bought tickets for Tegan and Sara and the Get Up Kids today.

The wait is almost over; Sainthood, Tegan and Sara's new album, is almost upon us. During a discussion of this yesterday, I mentioned that I'm deliberately not listening to the album tracks available on the group's MySpace page (and presumably a myriad of other, suspect sources) in favour of holding off 'til release day. In doing so, I sensed that I was revealing myself to be amongst the smallest of small minorities - a young person with patience, scruples and taste. One day on, the lack of response to that assertion seems to confirm this.

Even though I highly suspect this post - like all others - will be met with an equally non-existent response, I'll throw this out there (hey, maybe someone will think about it or something?) Do you do the same thing, if/when faced with the wait for a sought-after album, film, book, whatever or do you indulge yourself, legally or otherwise? This isn't designed to be a guilt-trip. I'd genuinely like to know.

Sainthood is released tomorrow.

I've not looked forward to a new album this much in a long time.

From the guy who brought you such early morning, link-to-a-video posts as Eli Roth describing Bear Witness and Tegan and Sara in Belfast, comes NOFX gig aftertaste in the form of an interview with Fat Mike! Dominant impressions: Mike seems like a very approachable, cool guy; the main interviewer sucks. He's not alone. Watch a random NOFX interview and you'll likely find a group of good friends amusing themselves at the socially and professionally maladjusted. That these people get such jobs is woe itself.

The impending NOFX gig at the Spring & Airbrake has snuck up on me. So much so, in fact, that I was briefly concerned I'd missed it. Time was, this would have been inconceivable. Much like Wallace Shawn, though, I have learned that this word may not mean what I originally thought it did.

In anticipation of next Sunday's So-Cal pop-punk shenanigans (which, it must be said, I'm still a little blah about for matters wholly unrelated to the band), I heard this. It seems, Mike and chums have "dissed" Tegan and Sara. While I don't agree with the rather unflattering portrayal of the adorable Canadians (my favourite Sara, in particular), the song's catchy as. I just remembered why I forked out for a ticket.
