Notes for this week:

  • Any band that can artfully use the lyrics "hurry, hurry hard" and "oh ontario, oh Jennifer Jason Leigh" is one that deserves your respect;
  • "Watermark" is one of the most powerful songs you will ever hear played live;
  • Frank Black has the best voice in rock and roll. I would like for him to sing lead in my band;
  • If Dragonette was the kind of music being played in dance clubs, I might start clubbing and never leave;
  • Apparently "Dan in Real Life" has the curse of being an seemingly terrible movie with an amazing soundtrack;
  • These are my new favourite lyrics: "My hands are shaking from carrying this torch, from carrying this torch for you."
