"The idea of telling one of these guys that smoking or drinking to excess was bad for his health was too ridiculously middle class to entertain. It bespoke a supreme ignorance of what their lives were really like - Hobbesian - not to put too fine a point on it. Nasty, brutish and short. The idea that you would try to prolong your grueling, dead- ( Read more... )

The first comment-able post. Wow.

actually, this is one of the first posts i made to this journal; it's backdated so as not to appear on friends' pages, and yes, it is purposely left as the one place for free-for-all commentary to | for | about yours truly. thank you for being the first to comment. :)

hi, i found your journal by searching for people who like rock plaza central. the art on your website is gorgeous. i was wondering if we could be e-friends?

i loooooooove RPC. chris eaton is such a nice guy. and his band's music is just so fun and sombre and gorgeous. consider yourself e-friended. :)

p.s. have you heard RPC's cover of justin timberlake's "SexyBack"? way better than the original. :P

iamthehospital December 28 2006, 18:39:40 UTC

no, i haven't! that sounds hysterical. where can i find it?

chris eaton is the sweetest guy. i emailed him a while back, not really expecting a reply, and we've been chatting ever since. i wish more musicians were as kind as they are talented.

Hey I just clicked your name on OCT by accident xD
I noticed you've listened to Aesop Rock. You seem to like more fringe music, so I figured I'd ask if you've ever heard of a guy named Busdriver? He has this one song called Imaginary Places. SO good. Wanted to know what you thought of it, if you've heard (I can send it to you, if you like) because not many people seem to "get" it.

waaaaaay nice of you to randomly suggest music. i applaud this initiative, which should be followed by more nice young ladies. i have not heard busdriver, but if he's remotely like the Aes, i will aDORE him. if i were a woman, i'd be aesop's ho. :P

fire the busdriver track to jacobearl at gmail dot com. and merci beaucoup.

p.s. i have an awesome (recent) live arcade fire recording in its entirety, if you're interested. i also have a slew of really old live bootleg-style stuff dating back to early 2002 when i first booked them to ottawa, including a live cover of brazil and an old live version of "no cars go" - a track from their 2003 EP, which surprisingly popped up re-recorded on the new album.
