Vitamin B, Calcium supplements and Omega-3. Ride the vitamin wave...woo hoo.

yeah, hasn't really helped me. guess I'll just deal with it for the moment and not turn my head very far. The stuff (heady kickdowns from the old lady after her knee pain subsided) seemed to work pretty well for my ankle strain, but maybe that's cause it's a smaller muscle or something. I'm sure a couple of tylenols would have done the trick but my aunt doesn't seem to keep any around.

done and done. but a google search says it's slow-release shit, which means it blows for immediate pain relief. Shoulda snorted it.

are anti-inflamatory pills (novo naprox) pretty similar to painkillers/muscle relaxants? I've just develope the most painful kink in my neck ever and all I have here are these anti-inflamatory things. Would that fix me up?

Lookout bitches the Rainbow Unicorns are gonna OWN you this year

I'm in, but will probably have to autodraft. Draft will be at 1:30am my time

Whoa, don't know how this slipped my mind yesterday: Dieu Du Ciel, Montreal's best microbrewery is having their 10th anniversary party on Saturday. They're going to have somethign like 26 beers on tap and a bunch of special events going on. If my flight to the UK on the 12th has to be rescheduled (f'n Visa!), that's where I'll be. Bidding a fond farewell to my favorite beer.

United steelworkers of Montreal are playing at Sala Rossa. You into the bluegrass infused stuff? Knowing your propensity for the heavy shit you might prefer this: Dead Messenger are supposed to be pretty great live.

As dirty as it makes me feel going to a WSP-related site, there's some great stuff on here: http://panicstream.com/nonwsp.htm got a nice Dylan & the Band '74 going now.

Playing Montreal the next night as well. Tix already on sale there.

what I came in to say. Poor Pudds.

I've never been an Oasis fan (somehow managed to escape them despite being a university student in the mid-90s), so I'm glad I'm saving my Ryan Adams cherry for a night where he's headlining. Will be catching him in November here:

yep a proper sbd. a bit on the dry side, but could be good fodder for a matrix mix.

a sbd copy of the Radiohead set is apparently up on STMusic right now. Grabbing it to confirm it is what it is, but thanks to Bell's meddling with Teksavvy I'm capped out at 30kb/s so it'll be an hour or more.

saw the same setup with Beck and the Flaming Lips in 2002. Cool stuff.

I saw on the same site that Yo La Tengo is playing Seoul. Small consolation but cool nonetheless!

faaaaaahhhhhhhkkk. How can I not be here for that??? That's like basically my dream pairing.

yeah, it's kinda hard-hitting. especially knowing a whole lot of other people working in less-than-safe places on a pretty regular basis. When you look at how little progress has been made in making lasting change, you start to wonder whether it's worth putting your neck on the line. Of course Afghanistan is particularly tough as a destination, but I think the same issue is relevant elsewhere. I'm going to start regular trips to Kenya next month under the guise of helping with climate change, and kinda wonder about it myself!

5 years ago.... Learned about the blackout while I was in Tokyo on an overnight stopover. By the time I got to Chicago O'Hare it was bedlam. Took me about 2 days to get home (with no luggage). Unforgettable experience.

So I got home to news this week that a colleague of mine from McGill's faculty of education was killed while working to set up education programs for Afghani kids. I didn't know her too well, but from the times we did participate in debates and other work together I can say she was definitely an amazing mind and a really committed advocate of education for kids and women in developing countries. She had a lot of fans among my friends and colleagues.

If you're too lazy for BT/FLAC, you can download the mp3s of the montreal show here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/0hcf9q

one of the worst songs they've written' date=' IMO. not as bad as bangers and mash [/quote'] Surprised to read this. one of my faves on the new album. Maybe it's just appealing to the greenie in me.

posted the BitTorrent download link in the appropriate forum.
