It’s funny how the orgasm is a “little death” we all strive for, letting go of our personal walls for a minute (or a few seconds, ha). But we still come back into our bones once the afterglow fades. Pop music is similar. A suspension of disbelief.

A black comedian I know, Kevin A Smith, recently joked that we need one

While he was joking, and most Canadians do seem pretty nice, it does

who are ready for a new eschaton of creativity, fluid social answers and
environmental awareness.
Art and music mirrors society and thus I am going to

besides the less hipster fashionable and more “pure” of intentioned indie
rock. Then again, as Boris proved on Pink, sometimes you can have it both ways
