aww. the montreal music scene is having mixed emotions about its own runaway success.

everyone from liz phair to john legend has agreed to shill for the gap.

and a group of well-connected dancer types have filed a supreme court case against the city of new york for restricting their right to freedom of expression. apparently this happened awhile ago and was widely reported, but somehow i missed it.

as for me, last night i went to the antony and the johnsons show at town hall, where despite apparently being seated right near her, i failed to run into laura modernage. town hall's a weird place. i didn't like that i couldn't drink beer during the show, but i did like that i could relive my childhood broadway experiences by eating kit-kats in my seat. regarding the actual performance, i'd been dying to see antony forever because i really love his album i am a bird now, but i wasn't blown away by last night's show. in fact, i was so not-blown-away that i left halfway through. somehow his voice, which i usually think is heartbreaking and beautiful, sounded so warbly and vibrato that every song ended up sounding the same. i also never realized before how much antony can resemble meatloaf when he forgets to mind his wig.

as always though, that's just my two cents...

you use of the phrase "mind his wig" made me laugh out loud.
