i am so excited. leah, suze and i have got tickets to see the constantines tonight at richard's. it's been a big year for these guys - they recorded a gorgeous single with fellow arts&crafts label-mate, feist, and dropped their third full-length album - the aforementioned 'kensington heights'.

dallas, doug, steve, will and bryan fucking wail.

doors open at 8 p.m. - i reccommend getting a ticket on the a.s.a.p. if you haven't already done so.

canadian anthropologists and filmmakers, sam dunn and scot mcfadyen's first attempt at a comprehensive history and explanation of the heavy metal scene in 2005's 'metal: a headbanger's journey'. they thought they'd had their bases covered, what with their indepth look at a huge bisection of the scene's subgenres (new wave british heavy metal, power metal, and glam metal, not to mention thrash, black and death metal). but they were wrong.

bolstered by the feedback from kids all over the world, they realized that they'd likely overlooked a giant population of the metal fanbase.

their second foray into the world of metal took dunn and mcfadyen out of the western world. immersing themselves in the metal scenes of asia, south america and the middle east revealed, 'a worldwide community of metalheads who aren’t just absorbing metal from the west – they’re transforming it... [and] creating a new form of cultural expression in societies dominated by conflict, corruption and mass-consumerism'.

i know it's awfully lindsay lohan of me to publicly profess my love for leggings, but i'm sorry - leggings with zippers?! um, it feels like the first day of grade nine when i walked in and saw eddie tericini for the first time - i realized that there was a whole new breed of boy that i never even knew about!

now take eddie and replace him with these hot little numbers. and the old breed of boy, and insert those tired-ass leggings i've been wearing into the ground for the past two years.

lna makes this hot shit. an early birthday present would be nice - any takers?
