is a new film that i tried cause i read that it was the film that
william eggleston uses. it was expensive to buy and develop. i
like them, but not enough to justify continuing to use it. some
of them are nice and i will keep posting them here the next couple
of days.
the shore launch was saturday night and was a smashing success.
lots's of people turned out and lots of fun was had. it was eye
magazines best bet of the week so i think that had a lot to do
with the turn out of people we didn't know. hopefully the pictures
i took turned out and i'll be able to post some of them here for
you guys to look at.
so on to my list of favourite canadian albums....
four - godspeed you black emperor -
lift your skinny fingers like antennas to heaven.
pitchfork says the following:
Lift opens up its sound to various voices
and influences within the collective, letting moments of pop/rock,
ambient and even hip-hop blossom where once there was only gravelly
symphonics and aural landscape. Those moments were, for me, nothing
short of thrilling. This is why Lift shouldn't be accused of merely
preaching to the converted fan who has long since accepted the
grandiosity of their sound and the vague rhetoric of their dissent.
They show signs of doing what they condemn the world for not doing:
changing, evolving, experimenting with new approaches, growing.
And that's why Godspeed You Black Emperor!-- along with Jeremiah,
Blaise Finnegan and every other prophet of doom-- might all turn
out to be wrong.
i love this band alot and seeing them live is certainly still
one of the best concerts i've ever had the privilege to see. i'm
really proud that they are canadian and we can call them one of
our own.
you can listen to the album here. |
