Lou - Concert

Well last night I went to see Lou Barlow, one of my alltime, if not my alltime favorite songwriters.
Was the small venue of Il Motore, on Jean-Talon. Intimate place. I would have never found the show if I hadn't been perusing the Horseshoe Tavern shows coming up. Opening was Wye Oak. Both groups have this interesting intimate, romantic and raw relationship.

Lou was/is several key 90's lo-fi bands, true "indie", not the modern marketing term....Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jr.

Lou has a way of just finding the right notes to bury into my heart.


His songs are almost all at core acoustic and melodic. But in concerts and sometimes in recordings they are played almost punkishly. (lover your earphones volume or the feedback might get you).



Paper Girls Most Favorite Song Ever.(period)
From Sebadoh.
(feels oddly revealing)

Reflections

I was reflecting on what to do with the commercial space at the bottom of our maybe future building... and I was debating if it could be my office/cafe/gallery/store (gallery curated by Maudet 5).

Then I read this article. And all dreams of cafe/gallery were shot.

Fighting the Heat on the Island

Heat island!

This is a pretty interesting RFP. I'll keep my eye out for Phase 2, this phase is only open to public institutions...
