The Lovely Feathers
My friends Mark, Rich, and Noah are in this band The Lovely Feathers. I always thought of them as my friends who had a band, but I’ve been listening to the CD “My Best Friend Daniel” and it’s really good. It’s catchy, funny, and I can listen to the thing the whole way through. I remember going to some of their shows and really enjoying it, and the album turned out well too.
Their site is www.thelovelyfeathers.com and it’s got MP3 downloads and stuff. I guess this is sort of an advertisement, but I like them. I like the guys, and the music, and I think they’re going somewhere.
This is a review from the Montreal Mirror:
If Lovely Feathers were a foetus, it wouldn’t even be born yet, but this local band has come a long way since its January conception. Before winning IROCmusic’s and le Swimming’s second annual Indie Rock Contest last week, they scored a Battle of the Bands gig at Café Campus on the strength of their very first show, and won. That initial victory encouraged some serious elbow grease on the part of singer-guitarists Mark Kupfert and Richard Yanofsky, bassist Noah Bernamoff, drummer Ted Suss and absentee keyboardist Daniel Suss, who’s wrapping up his studies in Singapore in time for a Pop Montreal gig.
For now, the “eccentric alt-pop” act is launching its debut album, a 13-step program of manic power pop, murky indie rock and graceful instrumentals called My Best Friend Daniel – the title is their way of saying they miss their piano-playing buddy.
The Mahavamsa (a history of Sri Lanka) is full of conflicts between generals and kings. Usually, the more bloodthirsty and unscrupulous would win. Our current (elected) ruler Mahinda Rajapaksa has had his own general conflicts, namely with one Sarath Fonseka. In the old days Fonseka would have staged a coup, as in literally try to cut of Mahinda’s head, and Mahinda would – if that failed – tie him to four elephants and split his parts asunder. Can’t do that shit anymore. Instead Fonseka ran for office and lost and Mahinda tossed him in jail.

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like
