ICE CREAM SUNDAYS! Every Sunday at Zaphod's, Mocking Music, DJ Booth, and Lady Ms Myrhh bring you the best indie/electro/whatever bands and DJs this side of Pitchfork. Every day's (a) Sundae!
Most of all, I love Ottawa. The crumbling warehouses, the railway arches, the cheap abundant drugs. That's what did it in the end. Not the money, not the music, not even the guns. That is my heroic flaw: my excess of civic pride.It was like being on a fantastic fairground ride, centrifugal forces throwing us wider and wider. But it's all right, because there's this brilliant machine at the center that's going to bring us back down to earth. That was Ottawa. That was Mocking Music. Now imagine the machine breaks. For a while, it's even better, because you're really flying. But eventually you fall, because nobody beats gravity.

Pretentious literature by pretentious authors: Voltaire, Tolstoy, Kafka, Chekhov, Sartre, etc. Yes, they changed my life. Yes, I'm just like everyone else.
