Ok I know. One day on, one day off. Really busy yesterday and forgot yet again. Well seems that tonight's the night to see if George unleashed whoop-ass on the middle east. There are quite a lot of Americans even who feel that the attack is unwarranted (the media hate when they're wrong). Ok we all know it, this thing takes more time and besides 9-11 you don't see any Iraqi military forces driving tanks across the White House lawn do you? Wars are rarely the answer. You'd think that we come farther than that. Well just like Slim Pickens we may all be riding the missile into oblivion, yee ha!
On to more pressing concerns. Once again an American band that I'm interested to see live have not added any Canadian dates (the Dixie Chix are always welcome). No Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello's band Postal Service, who have a great new album Give Up on Subpop, have left out Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto on their newly announced tour. Add to that a tour for M. Ward who I'd also like to see live who has only added Vancouver to his tour. Come up here people we like you and the beer is better.
