Night one, Husbandless: I am listless and bored.  I did go out and watched Slumdog Millionaire at a friend’s place, and it is awesome and you should see it. (Millonair!)

Now I’m at home and enjoying something truly awesome: I’ve rediscovered Nomeansno.  This is a band I used to love with that deep abiding passion that certain music can inspire in a person… and then it all got ruined when the individual I associated it with ended up being an ex-boyfriend instead of a boyfriend and, well, you know how that is.  I listened once in a while but generally didn’t have the heart for an immersion experience.  But it’s been, what, ten years?  And at some point you have to move on.  And rediscover the music you love.

I’d link to a video for you to check it out but they’re a local BC band and sort of punk rock so they don’t have formal videos as such, just a lot of fan shots taken at concerts which all sound like crap.  I have found this one track I like in acceptable format, but it’s not CD quality, alas.  (There are some others on that site but none I particularly like – what are the odds?)

I wanted to link you to my favourite of their songs, but I can’t find it online.  And anyway it isn’t really representative of most of their work, I guess, but The World Wasn’t Build In A Day gives me shivers down the spine every time I hear it.  Every time!  I can’t explain it… there’s just something about it that kills me.  Kills!

Anyway… this is certainly only interesting to me (and possibly Toren, who also likes Nomeansno – but is not an ex-boyfriend), so I’ll end here and go to bed.

Okay, here’s one more track I like.
