They have a tour set-up for next month. mostly the UK. but check them out and keep tabs if they come your way.
Good for a sweaty dancy time that will throw your endorphins hay-wire!
that’s all for now. x
Today I was in the music section of the Chapters, talking to Zak who works there. An Eastern European man approached us and, addressing Zak, said “Touch and go, I find you very attractive”.
Turns out he was looking for an album… it was strange.
A co-worker of mine has a weblog about relationships. I was intrigued by his post “on Passion and saying I Love You “.
He starts the article with a conversation that he overheard:
“Woman 1: So has he said it yet?
Woman 2: No. I wish that he would.
Woman 1: Why don’t you say it?
Woman 2: Because it’s too soon.
Woman 1: You’re probably right.
Woman 2: I don’t mind waiting…”
It reminds me of a couple I knew who broke up recently. They’d been together for over 2 years but had never exchanged the Three Words. The guy never said it because he never felt it, and the woman never said it because the guy had never said it. She did love him and if she’d said it, he would not have been able to ignore the position they were in. The position where one feels more strongly than the other. The moment of “where do we go from here?”
When it did all finally come out, she was quite hurt that he’d stayed with her even though he knew he would never fall in love with her.
It is perfectly natural to be afraid of being vulnerable, however once the realization of Love has happened,whether expressed or not, the level of investment is set. Your fate is sealed.
However, you cannot expect someone to read your mind.
You are responsible for your own happiness!
So in Madonna’s fine words:
You deserve the best in life / So if the time isn’t right then move on /
Second best is never enough / You’d do much better, Baby on your own
Don’t go for second best, baby / Put your love to the test.
I had the pleasure last Saturday of co-hosting a radio show on CJSF with Katherine.
Among other songs, we played Hang With Me by Robyn, which I hadn’t actually heard before.
NOW I LOVE IT.
this seems to be my recurring theme song lately. It has come up out of the blue a few times, so I figure I should share it with you.
We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don’t have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic
When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don’t have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic
Come on girl…
There will hopefully be lots of bluegrass in my life this year. That is actually my main resolution.
I take ms. Harris for inspiration:

I still love Paul just as much as I did when I was seven. Thank you SNL.
I will see him live someday… someday.
Not very apropos with Christmas coming, but what a lovely song!
I’ll post something seasonal in a few days… i.e. when it’s ACTUALLY Christmas…
For now… Warren Zevon. Amazing.
Dedicated to Vancouver… yes the ENTIRE city.
Nearly 7 months ago, my best friend Molly sent me a recording of a very sweet, very new little heartbeat.
As the baby was due in the autumn, and knowing they’d wanted to name London Lilly if he’d been a girl, I immediately thought of this song:
She arrived at 6:31 this morning, during the first snowfall of the year.
She is our October Lilly, and so beautiful.
