Hey Toronto, I know that you’re not allowed to like both hardcore and any other genre, but Pissed Jeans are playing at Sneaky Dee’s, and I’m going to be in Vancouver, but I really think you should go. They’re not even THAT hardcore. It’ll be good. Even the openers are decent.

Morgan Willis has a new website with photos and etc. I especially like this glamourless but affectionate disposable series,of mostly buildings. I’ve been missing the west coast lately, and these photos don’t help. I’m going home this weekend, and the forecast for rain everyday should mute the longing.

Minutes before midnight, the OPP wheezed down a brick staircase and in on girls in electrical tape spitting fake blood on themselves in front of inverted crosses with gay porn playing on the other wall.

It was nude beach paralysis; cops not sure what they can do, past flicking the lights. Everyone ignored them peaking around the corner, looking like literal pigs, while Dentata transcended their gimmicks.

The sound cut out and everyone filed outside and kept ignoring the fuzz. They shone their spotlight on the exterior of the building while we posed with the cruiser, and then everyone dispersed for half an hour before reconvening to get eyeliner-running-goth-girl wasted.

The crowd at White Lung had dreads and goatees and no eyebrows and ear spacers and studied the guitar parts and knew all the words.
