Melinda and Melinda (Woody Allen, 2004)
Seeing Thee Silver Mount Zion was pretty decent. They were loud as hell in the hot and stuffy club. Afterwords we went to some bar to sit down and ended up closing the place, the three of us. The dj was Moe Berg from Pursuit of Happiness. Seriously. After we closed the place we made our way back to Bathhurst, a little tipsy, and ran into the boys and girls of SMZ who were hailing a cab. We chatted with them a minute and they were really nice.
Sunday I saw Ryan's band, Kingdom Shore. They were really really good. THey were experimental compositions, obviously a product of Mark Molnar's imagination. The format was 2xviolin, cello, double bass, and electronics/real time processing. They were playing Pedestrian Day on Markham Street and it was all outside and free. We hung about to see Sandro Perri (and friends) and lastly Grant Hart of Hüsker Dü. Grant Hart was a bit of a character. I didn't like it when he started to call on audience memebers to request songs. I don't like being put on the spot and I never really listened to Husker. They were too college rock for the angry, teenage me. The only tune I know is It's Not Funny Anymore. The clouds gathered while he played and when he finished I got on my bike and headed home. I barely missed the downpour.
