Catching Up

Attached is a photo of Serena Ryder I took at Hugh’s Room last month. I’ve seen her perform live probably 15 times, in Peterborough & Toronto… I can tell she’s been touring with a band lately, though… She doesn’t depend so much on her voice & talent to carry the songs anymore, which is a *shame*. She’s still great, but I wish she’d stick with her punchy acoustic & vocals rather than beefing up what had been her trademark sound. Oh well… I guess you’ve gotta suck up to the label a bit when you’re starting out.

At least, they were when I left in September. There is a great wikipedia entry up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorillaz :) at 2005-11-22 10:34:09

I can’t believe, though, that you guys interupted a “United Mother Opposing Violence Everywhere” rally, cause zombies are really all about causing violence, what with the whole “Brains!” thing… at 2005-11-22 14:28:25

Vlad said: Gorillaz’s “Clint Eastwood” song and music video were extremely popular in Canada back in 2001 with pretty much every radio station repeat-playing the track for a couple of months. Check it out. at 2005-11-22 20:27:51
