hold steady vs. weakerthans
Pi has been commissioned to do a portrait of ex-Propagandhi current Weakerthan John K. Samson. Johnny has long been one of my favourite lyricists, and I came across this article with a quote from obvs house band The Hold Steady's Craig Finn. Thought it was pretty rad.
John Samson from the Weakerthans—he is the lyricist that I can say, without hesitation, is better than I am. But almost everyone else I think I'm in contention with. [Other favorites are] Blake Schwarzenbach from Jawbreaker/Jets to Brazil, obviously Dylan, Springsteen—that kind of thing. But John Samson is the best right now.

Check out the full article on this blog that is better than ours.
UPDATE:
Think Positive
With winter just around the bend, November being Toronto's highest murder rate with a week left and the leafs tanking out and about it can be pretty hard walking around all smiles. Just thought I would throw up a couple songs.
