My friend Steve was pointing out that my blog is "not the real me." (maybe a Who quote...eh steve? hahah ) Simply because it is a public journal. good point.

I really do type off the top of my head most of the time (as you can tell by the lousy, unedited writing style) I dont plan what I am going to write before I sit down to do so. like right now, not sure why I am writing this at all.

But...occasionally I do think of things during the day I want to blog. I almost always forget them later. But, just momemts ago I read the Robert Everet-Green review of the Exclaim anniversary tour that I wanted to see and quite enjoyed his writing (as I often do)

It was so nice to see someone else pointing out that there was no Canadian artist on the bill of an anniversary show. I am often sticking my neck out and making comments like this but rarely get much support. I do feel we have to make Con-Can type efforts in presenters/promoters (are you reading Ron?) to get more Canadian art into the hearts and souls of our own.

I should point out that Exclaim is a really good paper that I read each month, buy ads and highly support. They too are very supportive of Canadian music between their covers. (this made the concerts lineup that much more suprising)
