Stay fierce my summertime fires

My day off and I spent it running errands. I didn't mind though, I went to the Post Office and happily walked away with my own personalized copy of Emm's homemade wonder, The Great Lakes. Everything, down to the embossed CD cover is simply beautiful. All the references to the Great Lakes, states, provinces and landscape made me emotional as I sat eating rice in a busy fast-food cafe at lunch hour. It all took me back to Southgate, to Sarnia, to New York City, to Forest and the middle of nowhere. I think this is one of her finest albums. If you haven't already, go order it while quantities last.

I've also been digging the new Metric. Yes, it's available here, as is the latest Broken Social Scene, but c'est tres expensive.

Dear Chiu,
You're missing the weird fall thing that makes you want to listen to Coldplay while taking in the autumn landscape. I'm going through it now and was nearly dying to hear Chris Martin's voice on Wednesday when it was gray and rainy. I got my fill today though. Keep posting. Glad you're fitting some Can-Con into your Hong Kong lifestyle.
Lates.
