Reflections of a transpunk
So a couple weeks ago was Pop Montreal. The music was awesome. Spent most of my time at the Weird Punk series. Saw An Albatross, Chinese Stars, Japanther, DD/MM/YYYY, The Death Set, Shearing Pinx, T.V.Ghost, Lydia F'ing Lunch, and a whole slew of other bands. Also, with the exception of the odd friends' show here and there, this was my ( Read more... ) -

I am trans therefore my body is not mine
Wow. Way to have a night completely ruined! So, yesterday. I was in a weird mood. Woke up that way, after coffee/breakfast realized it wasn't going away, dealt with it in positive ways (went to a friends place for a BBQ ( Read more... ) -
Pop Montreal Craziness!
So, for the past 5 years, everytime Pop Montreal rolls into town I end up having to work. As such, I end up only going to 1 or 2 shows. This year, I booked my vacation for this week and so I plan on going to LOTS & LOTS & LOTS of shows!
Here's my schedule...what's your like?
Wednesday
9:00 - Winter Gloves
10:00 - Beast

Writer's Block: The Expendable Sense(s)
This is a seriously effed up question! It starts from the assumption that there are no people who are blind, deaf, vision impared, hard of hearing, speech disabled, and so on, that use livejournal. I'd like to see the person who manages livejournal post this question in the LJ community DEAF and see the responses they get. This is simply ( Read more... ) -

This ones for you Ms. Pinder (aka Pride!!!!)!!!!!
Um...so holy fuck. I seriously may have to reconsider all the Montreal vs. Toronto arguments I've had in the past 5 years because I've just spent the last half hour perusing the pages of the torontopride website! All I can say is wow! While Divers/Cite pays mere lip service to the trans community , Pride Toronto seems to have understood the true ( Read more... ) -
I have a crush...
...and so I made her a mixtape. We both grew up listening to the screamier side of punk/hc and so I thought I'd dig through some of my old records. A lot of these records I honestly haven't listened to in 2-5 years so it was quite the memory lane roadtrip! With no further ado I present:
The This is not a mixtape mixtape:
Side A - Yesterday's ( Read more... )
