Tall, cinema-obsessed, comic book-reading, beer-swilling, rock'n'roll-loving, happily married father of the world's cutest/snarkiest nineteen-year-old.
Two Udo Kier memories.
1) Watching him harangue a poor Bloor Cinema employee who had the temerity to cut his microphone off when his interview went way over-time.
2) Locking eyes with him at the Yonge & Dundas cinema and feeling a cold chill run down my spine.
As big in life as on the screen.
RIP

Tonight's outing: The Saints '73-'78 at the Phoenix, original Saints members Ed Kuepper and Ivor Hay joined by Mudhoney's Mark Arm (on vocals, a very good choice to stand in for the late Chris Bailey), Peter Oxley, former Bad Seed Mick Harvey and even a horn section. Loud & raucous!

Crossed a new milestone in my life yesterday, first time applying for pogey. (Related: if anyone has a line on a job for a seasoned software developer with experience in web UI development and data visualization, please send it my way.)

Tonight’s outing - the Miki Berenyi Trio at The Great Hall! You may remember Miki from the great shoegaze/dreampop band Lush, and MB3 definitely recall the dreamier side of that band’s sound, all shimmering guitars and ethereal vocals.

If you see this, quote with an image from a game that released the year you were born.
(Have never, ever seen this game before, but it does look very much like a product from 1967.)

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Tonight's outing: Stereolab (first time!) at the Danforth Music Hall. Neglected to listen to the new album, which dominated the setlist, but didn't really matter because I respond to the band's overall vibe more than any specific song, perfect for getting lost in the groove. Good show for that!

@letterboxd.social Selecting the Import button on a list no longer does anything for me. Just earlier today it would bring up a file selector to select the file I wanted to import. Did something change?

Tonight's outing: Sparks at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Fun, high energy show, though I had the best time when I was in familiar territory, namely the opening song and the final third of the show.

TIFF is barely over and I have a pile of concerts to see over the next couple of weeks. Tonight: Pulp at the Budweiser Stage! I forgot how well Pulp works at scale, Jarvis' arch theatricality and the music's dynamic grandeur cry out for a large stage. Beautiful night for it too. I am aglow.

There are countless reasons to hate Toronto, but the reasons to love it are all due to the people here who go out of their way to makes things happen.

The missus and I are in Stratford this weekend for a getaway and some theatre. Last night: Robert Lepage's biker gang production of MACBETH with Tom McCamus in the lead role. Lepage's staging, particularly his use of mirrors and projection effects, was as stunning as hoped for.
