This is bad

I made a startling discovery a few weeks ago.

Three songs on Discovery (yes, the album from Daft Punk) are ripoffs.

(I didn't intend to make that horrible pun; it just happened. Speaking of pun, I couldn't help but notice that every other review for Daft Punk's latest album, Human After All, contained the same pun - something along the line of "This album kinda so so. I guess Daft Punk's human after all. OMG LOL!!!" I didn't realize that there were so many Peggy Hill clones walking among us.)


Other news:
LCD Soundsystem (a.k.a. Jame Murphy, everyone's favourite lumberjack) and M.I.A. are performing at the Opera House in Toronto on May 21. I am going. (I've never been to the place; I hope the atmosphere there isn't too Queen-St.-scary/skanky.)

I'm going too.

To add:

If you need a ride or are offering a ride, let me know and we can split on gas.

The opera house is a pretty cool venue. You won't have to worry about snobbiness (It's pretty far out east on Queen)

But it is an LCD/MIA show, so expect the hipster-doofus army in full regalia...

Thank you, Dave.

I must warn you though. I am a mathie (socially inept, weird ticks, et cetera). If past experiences are any indication, the drive there and back will consist of two hours of awkward silence intermitted by several unsuccessful and even more awkward attempts to strike up a conversation.

So do you want to save on transportation or not? :) We'll probably get a ride with my gf and if not, I'll drive..

..and I don't think you'll be too socially inept around me... if it comes down to it, we'll just play my iPod for the trip.

Yes, yes, I want to go with you.
