i'm your man.
Hurray! I finally have someone I can get pot from basically anytime now, thanks to Lou. I love that man!
Saturday night my friend Jeff came down with two friends for the New Model Army show at my work. It was a pretty awesome show... probably the best sound we've had there since we opened. And the fact that New Model Army actually played there was beyond belief... they seriously only play like huge festivals in England and places like The Opera House in Toronto... and they fucking played at our humble little place! Lou is a magician. The bands he gets here are unbelievable. And every time someone plays at the bar, even if they're a bigger band, they always remark about how cool the place is and how much they loved playing there.
It was SO awesome to hang out with Jeff. I hadn't seen him for months prior to Saturday night. He's doing this project where he's photographing himself wearing every single one of his 350 t-shirts and hoodies, because he owns a lot of rare, obscure band shirts and stuff, and it's just a little something he wanted to do. So he wore his "Faster Pussycat, Kill KILL!!!" one on Saturday just so that I could photograph it for his album (because he knows it's my favourite movie).
I cut my bangs too short the other day and it's driving me nuts! I cut them when I chopped a bunch of my hair off, but I noticed the other day in a photo that they were actually pretty crooked and wonky, so I tried evening them out and ended up going a bit too short. Oh well, at least my hair grows out fast.
Today is Leonard Cohen's birthday and it is an appropriately grey, gloomy, overcast kind of day. So I'm just sitting here listening to Leonard, eating Cheerios, smoking a pipe and wasting my day away. I was supposed to hang out with my mom today but we had to switch our date to next week, which is a bummer but it's okay because I'm enjoying Leonard's birthday :)
In honour of him:
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man
Ah, the moon's too bright
The chains too tight
The beast wont go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man
And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
Sleepy Sun at Casbah on Wednesday night! Can't wait! I think I'm going to take photos. I haven't done any live shots in awhile (since Nobunny, and before that, Lords).
