This week: Swinging Dôme Barbies, a swift transvestite, a Samhain summons. Plus: Atoms declared small! "edited" by AL SOUTH F [singing merrily] I'm a Barbie bitch/Working at the Dôme/I love to go on the swings/So people can see my crotch/I'm a Barbie bitch/I wear tight clothes/So that people can think of raping me/I'm a Barbie bitch/I live in Montreal/I listen to this song at the Dome all night long/I'm a Barbie bitch/ Swinging from the ceiling at the Dôme/Hopefully I'll fall and CRACK my CRANIUM. [BLEEP!] F Hi, I'm calling about your question about the possibility of Refuel being on Platinum. I didn't get a chance to see Platinum, but I read the Rant Line and I guess it was pretty bad. But I figure that anything on Refuel is worth doing, so I say they should do Refuel, man. 'Coz they rock! [BLEEP!] M Hey, this is for all the dancers in Montreal. Way too often photos of dancers are used in the press or for publicity purposes without proper identification. Like that poster for the FIND. Who was that dancer? What was her name? Why does she not matter? Life as a dancer is already way too hard to sit back and wait for someone to give you respect. Dance is our passion, we are ARTISTS. We have the right to be recognized for our talent! It is time to be recognized equally among the artists of the world!! We must demand this respect and we must get it!!! [BLEEP!] M Hello, hey. This is [someone claiming to be] Swift Cat from Green to Grey. I have a special announcement to make. Yeah, I'm a cross-dresser and a TRANSVESTITE, but no, I'm not gay. So put this in your head: we're playing at the Backstreet on Halloween night. How convenient for me! And if anybody's not happy about it, fuck you. [BLEEP!] M This is Doc calling from St-Henri, in response to the guy who wanted to know why it is so hard to find good MUSH in this city. Well, you know my friend, mush is kind of seasonal. But if you look hard enough, you will find some, I guarantee it. If I knew you, I would provide you with some from my personal stock. My advice to you is to keep looking and eventually you will find the right supply. [BLEEP!] M Hi, this is Scott Murray from the band Parker. We just did our first show with the Wonderground Network at the Café Chaos with Phaedrus and the Bleeding Gums who, incidentally, were listed erroneously all over town as the Bleeding Guns. Anyway, I just wanted to say that the Wonderground Network put on a hell of a good good show, it was very well run with a great spirit. Things like that and Rancho Relaxo are making live music a good thing in this town once again. Now if only Café Chaos could tune into the fact that they were making better beer sales when the bands were playing rather than when the records were playing afterwards, well then, hey, we'd really be getting somewhere. [BLEEP!] M I just heard the baddest local band in the world, Eugene's Dream. I've never heard of these guys before, but my friend had a tape, he played it for me and I FLIPPED OUT. I was like, 'Oh my god, these guys are so BAD.' Anyway, they're not together anymore, I don't know why--I'm sure it wasn't about the MONEY. If you guys got in a fight, put aside your differences and get back together. If you don't, well, at least know that you were loved. By one guy. Hehehe. [BLEEP!] M Okay, check this out, this is a quote from the Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra. Now, this is crazy--if you have a mind, this will blow it. [Reads with breathless wonder] "The diameter of an atom is about one hundred millionth of a centimetre. In order to visualize this diminutive size, imagine an orange blown up to the size of the earth. The atoms of the orange will then have the size of cherries. Millions of cherries tightly packed into a globe the size of the earth. That's the magnified picture of the atoms in an orange. An atom therefore is extremely small, but it's huge compared to the nucleus in its centre. In our picture of cherry-sized atoms, the nucleus of an atom will be so small that we will not be able to see it if we blew up the atom to the size of a football, or even to room size. The nucleus would still be too small to be seen by the naked eye. To see the nucleus, we'd have to blow up the atom to the size of the biggest dome in the world, the dome of St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome. In an atom of that size, the nucleus would have the size of a grain of salt. A grain of salt in the middle of the dome of St. Peter's! This is how we can can picture the nucleus of an atom." Pretty crazy, eh? [BLEEP!] F You know what's sad? I went to the Sphinx on Sunday for GOTH NIGHT and the music was EXCELLENT. But nobody was there, there were like 10 people. Christ! Where is everyone? [BLEEP!] Next week: Goths, you have been summoned. Especially you, Goth Girl.
Got an opinion on the local music scene? |
