Well, I'm familiar with Pocky and rice balls... they're the sort of smoothed triangle-shaped things with a black wrap around the bottom, right? All the neat specialty markets and shoppes are in Toronto of course, which is too far away, unfortunately. All that stuff does sound sweet.
Just listened to The Golden River, (and the bonus cd that came with the re-issue) and really dig it. Simple, visual, theatrical but daring jams... like looking at an envelope with lots of different coloured and sized stamps, from lots of different places, if that makes sense.
Haha, YES! *grins* Thanks for the link, dearie. XD And no, I completely agree with your analysis of The Golden River, because that's very much what listening to the album is like. For me, though, I guess I'm a lot smaller, or the envelope is a lot larger, and I'm almost in the images, or maybe drifting by them...
It's very rarely just music with me, either. XD
Damn, I didn't get a bonus CD. O_o *angst and sad*
But yes, I have to say, Carey Mercer is probably one of my favourite songwriters (along with Spencer Krug, of course XD) because his songs encompass all of those things...there's blood and fear and beauty, sometimes right next to each other. ^^;
Suggestion: If you can track it down, try and listen to the song "The Claxxon's Lament" (either the Frog Eyes/Blackout Beach version or the Wolf Parade one, though they're both very different takes).^^
I'm planning a massive overhauling of the layout, to make it that much better. I've been planning it a while, heh. I can do that this week. If you'd like to wait with your post, we can just do a massive relaunch or something. With, you know, actual content >.>
Hahah, sure thing. XD Let me know when it's cool to post.
I have the outline for an extensive local-stuff feature, or ideas for an article about the albums that have affected you most for better or worse in life...*shrugs* Relaunch sounds cool, though I hope that doesn't mean we lose those older pieces. ^^;
No way I'm deleting the old stuff; the relaunch is more like a... excuse for having not posted in so long XP More like, making it snazzy and stuff. Maybe a tagging feature, or something. Making it more relevent, and whatnot.

And, where's a good place to start with Frog Eyes? I have listened to Shut Up I Am Dreaming and Sunset Rubdown's self-titled EP, if it matters.
Watched Taxi Driver a few weeks ago. Other than that, much time has been spent in contemplation and playing guitar. Not very exciting.

No, it's never just music with me ;p
I will leave you with Awesome Incarnate.
