OBSESSED

with One Hundred Dollars these days. I do have a small confession to make though.


What a bunch of fuckin' babes and all around good folk!

I burnt their most recent album Songs of Man from CFCR and hardly listened to it cuz I didn't really care for it at first. In fact, I may or may not have referred to their album as a "snoozefest". Wellwellwell, was I ever wrong! I had the great pleasure of seeing them twice this past Halloween weekend and can't stop listening and internet stalking them. Simone, the lead singer, is such an enigma to me and I'm totally crushin' hard.

Oh yeah, they're playing with the Seahags in Bruno on November 9th, 2011, on their way back to Toronto. Do you think it's excessive and creepy for me to drive all the way to Bruno to see them again? I can just use the Seahags as an excuse, right?

Julie Doiron Day

I'll be making my official solo bebut as TOVAH on Tuesday June 7th 2011, in Bruno, SK. I'm especially excited to play alongside my bffs The Seahags and Jeans Boots.

The Bruno Arts Bank is a little gem that is "available to artists, musicians, writers & performers to use as a studio/living space environment to develop their practice. The residency is offered for short terms stays typically lasting one to three months. Located one hour east of Saskatoon, artists staying in Bruno will have the opportunity to live in a predominately agricultural community set in a rural Saskatchewan landscape."

And on a semi-related note, I went to see Queer City Cinema's WIDEOPENWIDE Coast to Coast 2011 tour last night. My friend Thirza Cuthand's short film 'You Are a Lesbian Vampire' was one a the featured films on the tour. Her film stars myself and my then girlfriend making-out through the entire film. Anyway, we were both in attendance which was a tiny bit awkward since we haven't talked to each other for about ten months. At the end of the screening I was questioned by a couple of people about how I felt watching the film, was it awkward, etc. Then one of the ladies asked what I was going to do if people later came up to me to tell me how cute we looked kissing each other. I think the firing squad of questions was actually more awkward than the event itself, and all I could think about was this Julie Doiron song:
