Picked Dope City's Eldorado's "Suitcase" cd off a thrift store shelf after work today. Do not usually buy music from bands I have never fucking heard of but their association with Scratch Records gave me enough of a hint at the band's pedigree to gamble a few bucks on their worthiness.
Dope City rocks, motherfuckers. More talent in this smoky blue town than the rest of Canada put together, excluding Newfoundland.
If you like the Drive-By Truckers and that sort of thing you might want to try and find yourself a copy. I checked their website and it turns out they are long gone to the Yukon so if you have not seen them live you are shit out of luck.
I am happily out of touch with just about all the world's modern recording artists. I am just the sort of asshole you will see lined up to see "Rock of Ages" this weekend. Listening to Eldorado's cd was one of the few times I wished I made an effort to keep up to date with the modern world. Then I heard the latest news about the murderous motherfucking cunts who run Syria who are trying to take as many of their countrymen down with them as possible as we slip on the oil slick towards the Apocalypse.
Motherfuck the modern world
There is nothing in it for me
We have fast computers and big tvs
I just want to be Free
They are killing babies in Syria
They are stoning Anarchists to death in Iran
The police want to kick in the heads
Of everybody in East Van
Motherfuck the modern world
There is nothing in it for me
We have fast computers and big tvs
I just want to be Free
Get pissed, destroy the modern world with me

cool poem. I'll destroy the modern world with you.
The modern world has been provided plenty of rope but it is still kicking at the end of its taut length.
