I've been to a few volunteering sessions at CHRW 94.7 this week. It will be quite a while before I qualify for my super cool 'radio volunteer in good standing' ID card though.
Check back in with aotp on October 26th for a special announcement. I can't say anything. My lips are sealed. Really. But because you're such a special reader, and you have such a nice way about you, I'll give something away: there's going to be wambam webzine launch. And YOU are going to LOVE it. Maybe if you're really good, and you send me one hundred dollars, I'll give you the url ahead of time. If you send me one hundred thousand dollars I'll make an online shrine to you and allow you to spread the rumour (without the threat of a libel suit) that I have, on more than one occasion, begged you for the exclusive rights to produce a biographical motion picture based on the true story of your shabamakhazi self. Really. Rio never even crossed my mind.

i can't believe there's only one instance
of cuff the duke on soulseek.
what's the difference between us?

people do stupid things like sit in the middle of two passing subway trains when they're drunk and impatient in downtown toronto. then they go on the radio and broadcast their story to the entire country and think we'll be awed because they lived, instead of bored because we expected a better story.

9:25pm
do i really look so bad that
you won't even shake my hand?
can i tell you that the problem's not me?
it's not my fault - will you believe?
please can we just move on!

Dan won't leave me alone about poop. he has threatened to add me to his hate list along with the likes of Mike Bullard and god only knows who else he's got up there right now. go to his blog, soundscientist.blogspot.com, and chew him out. or at least make fun of him because he has actually posted 'the shit list'.

the Datsuns are endlessly annoying (bland,unimaginative,generally lame could serve as substitutes). CBC has given a recording of one of their shows an eternity of attention tonight. why CBC? why?

pitchfork, don't lie to me. i know you're out there. reviewing and construing. shelling out the word to music readers. it's frustrating to find you hidden behind a white page with excuses in verdana. come through, pitchfork. come through!

CONNECT THE DOTS, MARGARET

"You'd better listen up, Frankie, because I've got something important to tell you -- that's the last time you call me doll face, and I mean it. Oh if I were to complain to Buzz about all the 'sugar pies and sweet-things' I have to put up with in an afternoon with you he'd, he'd --"

"He'd what, kiddo? Can I call you kiddo?"

"He'd fire you for starters, that's for sure. And no, I don't want you to call me kiddo either. My name is Margaret, and that's what I want you to call me. Lemme tell ya buster, things are go--"

"Ahem...buster? I thought you said you'd had it with the nicknames, Mar-ga-ret.."

"--things are going to change -- they're going to change tonight! From now on when I'm up on this stage and you're down there pretending not to peek up my skirt every chance you get - oh I see you trying, Frank - you are not going to say 'Wouldja mind just twirling around a little when you come to that part, sweetheart?'. No. ...From now on you'll say Margaret."

"Alright then, Margaret. I'll do my darndest. Anything to make my lead girl happy. Now, would you be a dear and pass me that script we were looking at? I've carelessly left it on the first step down the trap exit."

"Here."

"We'll have to have a word with Mister O'Shea about those stockings of yours...runs that reach to the most indecent heights. Wouldn't you say, Margie?"

"Margaret."
