Bob Geldof's LIVE 8 is going on right now. CTV is airing the whole damn thing. Barrie was live a few minutes ago. i think they'll switch back to it in a few. enjoy. it actually looks tremendous and heartwarming to see so many people involved in this.

more on the Pumpkins' possible reunion. Jimmy's back in and talks about keeping in touch with James through emails. good to know. i thought there'd been no communication between the two halves of the Pumpkins over the years. my biggest wish is for Melissa to fill in the bass role, though. crossing my fingers for that to happen. from the outside, she'd be the perfect fit for it. i don't even think D'Arcy's coming back. and even she were up for it, Billy has always stated that she was an okay bass player at best and they didn't even need her. Melissa kicks everyone's ass and gets along with everyone famously well. it's not for the near future but that's my wish if it happens.

STOP THE PRESSES!! Martha Wainwright is coming to my fucking city for a show thursday July 14! holy shit. having nothing to do you find yourself browsing sites. i remembered a small theater downtown that sometimes surprises with bigger bands (Tea Party, Bran Van, Jean Leloup) and cool arthouse films. well, the news was right there on the first page. $22 a ticket. just called the ex-roommate who's on her way north of Montreal for a camping trip to tell her the great news. we'll talk some more when she gets back early next week but she was definitely interested. (she will be at the Ottawa Bluesfest the next day -- Rufus will have played there on the 14th; so i guess no surprise guest spot for our show :P)

i saw the aqualung album at the used record store today. anyone can recommend a $13 purchase? (mishie?... :P) [ forgot that i also saw the Foo's Colour and the Shape there. will purchase it tomorrow if i go for aqualung. ]
