The Weakerthans have a new website featuring an interactive buffalo painting and tour dates which do not include Toronto but instead dates in Ottawa and Guelph U. Just one more reason why I should have gone there. Anyway, there are supposed to be secrets on this new site, one of which is this (or possibly the only one):
Everything Will Be Okay
It's always surprising, this sense
of relief. When you kiss me
unexpectedly, I'm reminded of
the time I left a shoe-box containing
ten or eleven thousand dollars on a
coffee table in a hotel lobby in Northern Italy.
I was between floors in the elevator,
staring at my reflection knowing something
was missing when I remembered what was,
and pushed every button and rolled through
the doors, sprinted hallways in search of the
universal symbol for stairs, barreled
down six flights, and found it
waiting there, untouched,
and haloed by the light
of late-afternoon.
- John K. Samson
Oh how I love John K. Samson poetry.
Still no mention of why JPS left. Dave and Brian are still touring with them though which is fun.
Oh yeah, they've also been shortlisted. An award that Damien Rice won last year.
