Slowly the evening sun returns. False spring weather ensues.

Friday night movie night …

• Various Artists  – this is anything that’s a compilation or soundtrack.  The Bleep top 100 was in the mix since it came out. The sound of music OST is on almost daily.
• No Artist – Who knows.
• Joe Hisaishi – Composer on most Ghibli films
• Recess Monkey – A surprisingly good kids band. Lifts a lot of ideas from old late 80s rock/pop and newer indie music – but in a i-won’t-die-if-my-kids-listen-to-this sort of way.  I think they might be day job teachers?
• Four Tet
• Washed Out
• FaltyDL
• Foster The People – guilty pleasure …
• Radiohead
• My Neighbor Totoro
• Memory Tapes
• Michita
• M83
• Com Truise
• Sepalcure – one of the best records / team ups in years
• Levitatorz
• Sully – 2step …
• SBTRKT
• Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie XX – Jamie XX is the british RZA. Kid has a bright future.
• Spank Rock
• Tropics
• Disiz La Peste
• Egyptrixx – Amazing detuned spacey electro … set was choice @ Decibel
• VA – Same as Various Artists …
• The Chipmunks
• Seekae – for those starved for a new Boards of Canada record.
• Walt Disney – yep.

So we head for the streets with sleds and bikes …. Snow is like Christmas yeh? The kids love it, we love it.

We’re of the ‘this is awesome and only happens like 3 days a year’ school.  North-westerners and their classic passive aggressiveness typically create what we call “snow grinches”. Yeh it’s cold, sure I can’t get any work done without power – but I just made a jump out of snow and rode my snowboard through all of the neighbors yards.  Any other day …. like if we did donuts @ on their lawn … well, that wouldn’t end well.  So embrace it, have fun and end the day with a good bottle of wine and the heat cranked up.
