A Music Lover in Toronto: Got the Chills Listening to the Chills
http://musicloverintoronto.blogspot.com/2010/07/got-chills-listening-to-chills.html
A Music Lover in Toronto. Friday, July 2, 2010. Got the Chills Listening to the Chills. I hate tapes. The quality is terrible and my ancient tape player speeds up and slows down on a whim so I don't listen to them very much at all. But I have a lot of tapes that I can't find on CD or MP3. Some obscure stuff, some mixes that people have made for me, some interviews we did with bands, some recordings I made of concerts (bootlegger? And one of my favourite songs from them, Pink Frost:.

A Music Lover in Toronto: June 2010
http://musicloverintoronto.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
A Music Lover in Toronto. Monday, June 28, 2010. More on Mick Karn. Very well written, often funny, insightful, sometimes self-deprecating, sometimes sad, never self-pitying, and certainly eye-opening to the unfairness of the music industry. That such a talented person, who's contributed SO much to music, is basically eking out a living is patently unfair. The book is a must read for any Japan fan, or any fan of music for that matter (hint: click the link and buy it). You'll know that was inevitable).

A Music Lover in Toronto: April 2010
http://musicloverintoronto.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
A Music Lover in Toronto. Thursday, April 29, 2010. Young, Naive and Selfish. Aren't you glad that most people grow up and stop being selfish assholes? It's easy to be a jerk when you're young because you're immature and think that nothing bad's going to happen. So you're flippant and sometimes cruel. At least I was. I didn't really mean to be, it was more a reflection of my naiveté and insecurities. Over the next year things started to change in the friendship; I'm not really sure why at the time. I...

A Music Lover in Toronto: Japan in Toronto, 1979
http://musicloverintoronto.blogspot.com/2010/04/ill-admit-straight-up-that-my-love-for.html
A Music Lover in Toronto. Saturday, April 10, 2010. Japan in Toronto, 1979. Although they seem to distance themselves from their first two albums, I love the mix of funky bass and drum heavy songs with the more moody and dark pieces. Adolescent Sex still sounds good after all this time, from the opening track Transmission. And of course, the title track. Their second album, Obscure Alternatives, is definitely a more musically mature album. I remember playing it endlessly, especially Rhodesia. I remember ...

A Music Lover in Toronto: Dublin 1985
http://musicloverintoronto.blogspot.com/2010/05/dublin-1985.html
A Music Lover in Toronto. Sunday, May 30, 2010. So I was going to write about something else, but then I was whiling away a rainy day listening to some Hothouse Flowers. We landed in Glasgow and took the train to Stranraer for the ferry crossing to Belfast. I can't really remember why we chose that route instead of going straight to Dublin, but it was probably cheaper. We must have been a sight on the train.I had hair teased to the heavens a la Eddie from the Alarm. God how I miss those days. I think the...

A Music Lover in Toronto: Feeling Guilty
http://musicloverintoronto.blogspot.com/2010/07/feeling-guilty.html
A Music Lover in Toronto. Saturday, July 24, 2010. There's so much stuff going on lately, it's all running interference in my brain making my memories elusive and uncooperative. I have a ridiculous amount of posts started over the last couple of months, just waiting for details to be filled in. They're staring back at me making me feel guilty. Butit's Mick Karn's birthday today and a good reminder that if you haven't yet donated to his appeal. Or taking part in various fund-raising initiatives.

A Music Lover in Toronto: Where The Hell Does Time Go Anyway?
http://musicloverintoronto.blogspot.com/2010/03/where-hell-does-time-go-anyway-do-you.html
A Music Lover in Toronto. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Where The Hell Does Time Go Anyway? Do you ever feel that 25 (heck, 30.THIRTY? Years ago was just like yesterday? I've been feeling that a lot lately. It leaves me in a bit of a daze really, mostly unwilling to accept the reality of it. Popular music has always mostly sucked and now it's even worse than ever. Honestly, do I want to hear another 14 year old whinging about something pointless? Who doesn't remember the seriously weird Toast. When CFNY start...
