Radio Diatribe

I’ll be flying home on Tuesday, just in time for the birch pollen alergy season. Pus will be oozing from my eyes the moment the plane starts descending.

I made a startling discovery a few weeks ago.

Three songs on Discovery (yes, the album from Daft Punk) are ripoffs.

(I didn’t intend to make that horrible pun; it just happened. Speaking of pun, I couldn’t help but notice that every other review for Daft Punk’s latest album, Human After All, contained the same pun - something along the line of “This album kinda so so. I guess Daft Punk’s human after all. OMG LOL!!!” I didn’t realize that there were so many Peggy Hill clones walking among us.)

Other news:
LCD Soundsystem (a.k.a. Jame Murphy, everyone’s favourite lumberjack) and M.I.A. are performing at the Opera House in Toronto on May 21. I am going. (I’ve never been to the place; I hope the atmosphere there isn’t too Queen-St.-scary/skanky.)

Michel Gondry is at MIT, like, right now. Had I the time (and a roundtrip plane ticket, and a camouflage kit, and money, and …), I would be in Cambridge, MA stalking him right now. Argh!
