The snowplough guy eventually showed up, just to clean out the snow barrier left by the city plough, but still… gotta give the man some credit. We’ve had three of four jumps of electricity in the day. It’s still howling outside this evening, the wind’s strong enough to push people sideways. Supposedly the same tomorrow.
I’m not really mad at the weather now: we have a safe and cozy house – there are people who live in far worst – and nature is certainly creating an interesting atmosphere tonight. We usually forget the environment around us; tonight the sound of the wind is ecstasy for the imagination.
Ushered to Serendipity
Also, serendipity crossed my path today. I scarcely ever attend a concert – with the exception of some of our good friend Éric‘s hommages – and when I do it is usually in the summer, at city-sponsered outdoors events. I’m also notably unaware of upcoming events around here. AND I’m not usually downtown during the day. I had an appointment at the bank this afternoon and chanced to notice one of my favourite composer/singer, David Usher, is in town on Thursday (and apparently has a new album out!). I’m thinking I might go, if I can find someone to come (Frank won’t, but said he’d babysit). I saw him before in summer 2005 at the Canada day show, and it was a great night.
The new album seems nice from the samples on his site, although I don’t think I’ll like it as much as « If God had curves ». For one, the lyrics seem less intuitive than what he used to do, which was what I liked so much about his songs. Themes changed, too, but evolution is a strong point of his career. For those who don’t know him, he was the lead singer of the Canadian band Moist, back in the 90’s. He’s lived in a couple different countries, and he’s settled in NY now, but his label is still a Canadian one, so I think that allows us to claim he’s a Canadian musician. Oh, and – you know, totally irrelevantly – he’s mighty cute. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the album. I’m taking my leave with some lyrics from « Brilliant » that stood out for me. Good night!
« but i’m older now got a little girl of my own
and her fears are my fears now »
David Usher – « Brilliant », Strange Birds, 2007
Le gars du déneigement s’est éventuellement pointé, juste pour nettoyer le remblai de la gratte, mais quand même… c’est tout à son honneur. Nous avons eu trois ou quatre sauts d’électricité dans la journée. Le vent hurle encore dehors ce soir, assez fort pour pousser les gens de côté. Ça sera pareil demain, apparemment.
Je ne suis pas vraiment fâchée contre la météo maintenant: nous avons une maison sécuritaire et douillette – il y a des gens qui vivent dans des endroits vraiment pires – et il est vrai que la nature créée une atmosphère intéressante ce soir. Nous oublions habituellement l’environnement autour de nous; ce soir le son du vent est de l’ecstasy pour l’imagination.
Forfuité
Aussi, la chance a croisé mon chemin aujourd’hui. J’assiste rarement à un concert – à l’exception de quelques hommages par notre bon ami Éric – et quand je le fais c’est habituellement l’été, à des événements extérieurs organisés par la ville. Je suis aussi notamment pas-au-courant des événements à venir dans mon coin. ET je ne suis pas normalement en ville le jour. J’avais un rendez-vous à la banque cet après-midi et suis tombée sur un poster annoncant qu’un de mes compositeurs/chanteurs favoris, David Usher, est en ville jeudi (et il a apparemment sorti un nouvel album!). Je crois que je vais y aller, si je peux trouver quelqu’un pour venir avec moi (François ne viendra pas, mais dit qu’il garderait Xavier). Je l’ai vu en show à l’été 2005 à la Fête du Canada, et j’avais beaucoup aimé.
Le nouvel album semble bien d’après les extraits sur son site, quoique je ne crois pas que je l’aimerai autant que « If God had curves ». D’abord, les paroles semblent moins intuitives que ce qu’il faisait avant, ce qui était ce que j’aimais tant de ses chansons. Les thèmes ont changé, aussi, mais l’évolution est un des points forts de sa carrière. Pour ceux qui ne le connaissent pas, il était le chanteur du band canadien Moist, dans les années 90. Il a vécu dans quelques pays différents, et il est établi à NY maintenant, mais sa maison de disque est toujours canadienne, alors je crois que ça nous permet de dire que c’est un musicien canadien. Oh, et – fait totalement non pertinent – il se regarde bien. J’ai hâte d’entendre le reste de l’album. Je vous quitte avec quelques paroles de « Brilliant » sur lesquelles j’ai accrochées. Bonne nuit!

David Usher – « Brilliant », Strange Birds, 2007
Reminds me of an article I read this morning of a snow plow operator (I forget where) who was fired from his job for plowing the drive of a older man with heart problems, to keep it clear in case he had to go to the hospital. The plow-dude was let go for unauthorised use of state property. Bloody Gub’mint.
I was a big fan of Moist when they were playing in the ’90s. Never saw them live, but I enjoyed the few videos I saw. I won’t comment on Usher being cute.
Hi there, just thought I’d concur with your love of David Usher. I was a huge fan of Moist back in the day and got to see DU live when I was at university. Go by yourself if you have to…it’ll be worth it.
Hey Simon. Nice anecdote, in a negative sort of way.
Hi Tal, nice of you to drop by! I’m campaigning to find someone to go with me now, with good hopes of success, so the going-alone dilemna might be avoided. Ticket office only opens on Wenesday evening, though, and I’m not even sure there are tickets left! We’ll see.
Ouin..bin jirais bien voir DAvid Usher avec toi. En 1996, javais mes billets pour aller voir Moist a la salle Thompson, et ils avaient annulé car David avait un ti vilain rhume…. ça serait le temps de me reprendre 11 ans plus tard (oh mon Dieu, ça me vieillit ca…me semble que c’était hier que j’harcelait mon père pour qu’il me laisse son numéro de carte de crédit pour acheter mon billet). Cependant, j’ai quelque chose de prévu pour le travail…:( On se reprendra et j’espere que tu trouveras quelqu’un pour t’Accompagner… Ca fait du bien une tite sortie de temps en temps. D’ailleurs, nos hommes nous doivent-ils pas un cinéma???
Gexxx
Hey ma soeur! C’est vrai que tu ne vas pas souvent voir de shows: tu devrais, moi j’ai plein d’amis musiciens alors ils me sortent toujours de chez nous; même quand ça me tente pas! Mais rendu là, ça vaut la peine. Surtout si c’est David Usher!! Te souviens-tu, le premier disque de Moist qu’on avait écouté c’était « Creature » (d’ailleurs je l’ai acheté récemment… hehe) et on l’avait loué à la bibliothèque municipale… Et maintenant: tu vis à côté de la bibliothèque! Y’a des choses dans la vie comme ça qu’on croyait pas qu’elles tourneraient comme ça… et c’est tout connecté et tout logique, pourtant! 😉 Je t’incite sérieusement à y aller: tu sais, si j’avais pas un travail de 7 pages à remettre vendredi (le dernier de la session!), je suis sûre que j’aurais sauté dans l’autobus pour y aller avec toi! T’es déjà allée à un show toute seule? Des fois, c’est quasiment aussi l’fun parce que t’es juste concentrée sur le show… Hey: demande à Christian! Vous penserez à moi! ;P
P.S. – I’m still waiting for some new online pictures of Xavier…
Tickets are booked, babysitting is arranged, the show’s a go!
(Will be back with impressions afterwards. Maybe not Friday – the day of errands – but this weekend maybe.)
