Oh, canoe. I think I'm going to listen to some Billy Bragg and Paul Weller tonight. I'm going to miss you.

Potatocanoe! I think we may be going to Ottawa for vacation next year!

Just trying to annoy you. What is new?

I fixed my last.fm canoe. Turns out I needed to download some new software.

I haven't defaced your page in a while, thought it was about time... CCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE

I have been wanting to go to Iceland for about 15 years now. Unfortunately, it gets harder and harder to do those sort of things when you have kids, mortgage, job with nutty schedule, etc. :(

CCCCCAAAAAMMMMMPPPPPEEEEE

Thank you :)

hey, thanks, great taste.

No cloning, no plastic surgery? I’m a little dissssappointed. - Yes, they manipulated the compatibility algorithm again, but this time in a reasonable way: As long as you have a good amount of listening similiarities with someone, the rating is high, it seems, whether the "similar artists" appear in your top charts or not...

Dave, I keep on asking myself if this Ilyich portrait displayed there actually points to a certain shift in political posture - or did there occur some plastic surgery in Toronto? Anyway, cheers to you! - J.

Hiya - you've been at the top of my neighbors list for like a year or something so I thought I'd drop by and say hello. Sounds like you saw Weller recently too - great show eh?

How was Weller, campe?

It annoys me a little, Dave. The layout looks slightly more "stylish", but as it often seems to be the case with such "stylishness", the content behind it is somewhat more shallow than before!

After-match assessment: In comparison with the Spanish midfield artists, the Germans looked totally helpless. It seems so be a good thing that this clumsy way of imitating an up-to-date football team ensemble has not proven to be successful.

Dave, the Spanish will most probably be the only ones to be actually PLAYING football today. In contrast to this, German football still (and all the more in this tournament) amounts to the secondary virtues of running, fighting, intercepting. That's why I will definitely support Spain. And besides that, you might remember what Rosa's companion once stated: "The main enemy is at home!" Greetings to you!

Oh, is that the V Fest? I saw the Weakerthans are playing that too. Wish I could go. I'm doing okay; had my appendix out a couple weeks ago but I'm feeling pretty good now. What new job are you going to be starting?

Is it on a Tuesday or Wednesday? I have a weird work schedule :) How are you, canoe?

Is that actually BLOOD dripping from the guy's head? :-O Oh, so you unlucky guy didn't even see the match!

Congrats, Dave! Please feel free to comment on the the song that's just been playing... no, blasting inside my living room... Cheers!

and Milan as well!:)))))) (keeping fingers crossed)

Wait, wait, I found something: any song by Nouvelle Vague. Every time my former flatmate played their dehydrated covers of Specials songs etc. on the stereo, it made my stomach turn.

Dave, I warmly welcome your new way of eyeing the asylum we experience the pleasure of living in plus its, ahem, I guess they call them „customers“ or „users“ these days. With your permission, I will reproduce your tag-in-the-making and find some appropriate tunes it might be branded on. Probably some rotten contemporary „indie“ rubbish.

Eh, I'm doing all right, how about you? I've been thinking lately how much I miss Ottawa. Can't believe it's been about 12 years since I've been there. Hmph.

Hi Dave, how are you? :-) It looks like your socialism of the heart tag needs to be coddled up a little. Enough metarial for this in your track list...What do you think? Cheers!

Hello canoe :)

Do you consider it as possible those diabolic twins will be banning our socialism of the heart tag, Dave?

awww. why not? :(

Dave, pleased to read you! You mean the system banned you from logging in just because... let's assume, because Tracy has been talking about a revolution on your page lately? Oh, it's getting worser... New-year cheers to you as well!

It seems to be their intention to weaken transatlantic solidarity by downplaying our similarities in cultural consciousness, Dave... Counter-revolutionary bastards.

Suddenly our list has been cut short again. What's this?

Hi Dave! This is absolutely amazing. I have never spotted a list like this here before... And I hadn't expected you to be listening to Trio! Cheers and good night!

dave...it seems that we're sharing a couple of artists in common. ;)

Mmmh...I guess Homer Simpson is there because of your previous avatar pic and...uhm...what about the milk carton? It has to do with the Blur at n° 16 in your chart, perhaps. no doubt last.fm is a perspicacious website.

...and what about their first similar artist? :D how are you? long time no speak, but we're still bloody super!;)

Dankon pro la vizito! Thanks for the visit!

…to supply us with something to be at ease with although there is, all in all, not much justification for this sentiment. (I guess the Gosewitz ancestors in (probably?) Poland or so didn’t know or care much about their birth dates.) This is my wordy excuse for ignoring birthdays in general. Happy birthday all the same! :-)

Your nickname strategy lives up to the obstacles of everyday life, as always, Dave... :-) - You see, I do not care much about birthdays – it is, as I understand it, a concept developed by the bourgeoisie to celebrate the bourgeois individual, and afterwards planted on non-bourgeois people like us…

Thanks for dedicating that loop to me personally. Ah, and Unity Day - it's all propaganda. But it seems you will have to change your nick these days - the pair of cyphers depicting your age has changed, as I just realized. Wow!

Slacker38 listening to The Slackers - very funny... :-)

As a reward, I'll supply you with a link to some excellent guitar pop songs: www.myspace.com/haywains Bonne nuit, mon cher!

Yep, but there IS a difference. Obviously there is no ... ahem ... humanoid male fertilizing liquid dripping on my shoe like it is being depicted so vividly in that song.

I'm fine, Dave. Still digesting my acoustic Weller/Cradock memories...

The Riverboat Song - fantastic tune! Greetings!

:-) Look, Dave, here you find some pics of yesterday's gig: http://meinzuhausemeinblog.blogspot.com/2007/09/paul-weller-steve-cradock-frankfurt.html Won't help much for deciding on the Michael Jackson question, though...

Stunde X is an old mod band from Düsseldorf which, in 1987, released a song on their album Graf Porno... with the closing line Paul Weller is a pig. Which, as I argued, can't be true any more since Weller's solarium suntan displayed yesterday was much too dark to be identified as that of the animal in question. You see? :-)

No merchandising desk, no shirt, very sorry! More to come, including some mobile phone pics I took. See ya!

:-) You're always so funny, that's one of the things I like about you! I think I will go there in a t-shirt myself, it's too warm today for a collar. What's even more important is that I will be travelling there by Vespa, so stylewise I will be much more up to tonight's artist couple than 99% of the mob showing up. Here's a snapshot of the venue: www.anewcityguide.com/images/_788.jpg

Size M, please. :)
