In Leiu Of A Lack Of Monthly 'Sup In's....
Soooooo.......
I am currently without computer due to the fact that it died the other day and killed many many important things along the way. (Not least of which was my ENTIRE digital music library (120+gb's ..... AND ITS BACKUPS!!!!). I knew that I should have seen it coming but hey, procrastination and all of that. But anyway, I've tossed a toonie in the direction of my local internet cafe guy so that I could quickly give you this brief explanation for my recent lack of online persona over the last week, as well as the one that will follow for the week ahead. I've gotta be quick though; I've only got 20 minutes :) A very adept friend of mine is currently working on my computer's resurrection, but we're both rather busy chaps and getting together to do this thing is a slow process. But I'm fairly confident that I'll be back and invading all three of your computer screens again shortly.
In the meantime....
I attended (with mixed feelings) the very last show of our very own Oh No Forest Fires a couple of weeks ago, and thankfully, it looks like the pics that I took are one of the only things that my evil file wrecking machine didn't destroy. So yahoo! It was a surprisingly celebratory show, and I can't wait to tell you about it.
Obviously I didn't get around to firing up a 'Sup in February post for you this time around, which makes it two months in a row now, but I guarantee that I'll have one up for March and it's gonna be wild! As far as where I'll be this month, I'm planning on checking out my old friends in AfterpartY for free at The Horseshoe tomorrow night (Feb. 2nd). (OK. I've never officially met them, but our paths have crossed via this blog and all its associates that I feel like I know them, sort of.) I'm hoping to pop in to Criminal Records on Friday (Feb. 5th) to see the ever charismatic Hawksley Workman perform a free instore. I'm also pumped about going to The Mod Club to see a couple of my favourite female Swedes, El Perro Del Mar and Victoria Bergsman's altar ego: Taken By Trees on Feb. 21st. Should be amaaaaazing! And, the undisputed event of the month comes in the form of the Wavelength 500, taking place from February 10th to 14th. I'll be attending one of the lesser popular days which is the Friday, because it's the only one featuring a lineup wherein I thoroughly enjoy all five of the acts! But for all of the details. go to the aforementioned official site.
I'll see you online hopefully early next week with more reviews, insights and some pretty exciting contests, and in real life, maybe sooner than that.

What part of you computer died? The actual computer circuitry/motor or the harddrive? If it's not the harddrive then you'll probably be able to connect your harddrive to another computer, set it up as a slave and copy all your date off it (say to an external hard drive which are pretty cheap these days, and totally worth it). Good luck.

Thankfully, for the most part my computer is back up and running and most of my stuff is safe. Sadly, my music was kept on an external harddrive that bit the dust a few weeks ago. When it happened, I reasoned that it's all on my ipod anyways so I'll just back it up as soon as I can. Now my ipod is wiped out and I still haven't backed up the tuneage which means that I've got the long and arduous task of rebuilding my digital music collection all over again. Ah well...
