radiant fracture

Thanks to stitchinmyside's example, I finally downloaded some CBC Radio 3 podcasts to my Palm. Then my Palm's battery died. It won't even turn on. It lies there, inert, blank, full of untranslateable beauty. I had time to listen to two of the R3-30s and a really interesting discussion with an American poet on "Writers & Company". The end.

My two new favourite songs are:

Christine Fellows - "Vertebrae"

Clear the doorstep of flowers
Throw open the blinds in his empty room
Avert my eyes from his fingerprints
Is there something I'm forgetting...

and

Knock Knock Ginger, "Love Renee"

I'll quote here, though you can't get the full feel without the bouncy, almost anthemic rock sound of the song:

All the misuses
Of the comma by your hand
Made the closing "Love Renee"
Seem like another order or command

In all uppercase
You wrote "LOVE LOVE LOVE"
Like I would change
My mind
If the Ls were bold enough

Now I'm listening to Radio 3 on headphones in my dad's basement office in Gibsons after 8 hours of travel, some quite good sushi in West Van, some quite good delivery pizza right here in Gibsons, and a raucous game of InGenius.
