- Tom Thomson was not in the Group of Seven. He died (or was murdered or something depending on what you believe) before the Group really officially formed. As a side note, Emily Carr was not in the Group of Seven either (as if they would allow a woman in....)
- The Group of Seven suck anyway
- If I wanted my own thoughts (those being ones of a somewhat privileged, white middle-class male with dry wit and enough smarmy cynicism to fill Janine Garafalo's presumably über-hairy vagina[I bet you love that visual, you sick fuck!]) I would simply make my blog one that requires a paid subscription and then subscribe to it. That is just one of the reasons as to why I think Chuck Klosterman is a fucking grotty wanker.
- The other primary reason is that if blogs had become popular just a few years earlier, Klosterman would have never been offered a publishing deal and no one would have thought his ideas or his style are that novel. A white, suburban, middle-class male with vast musical knowledge and a keen sense of sarcasm?! I've never encountered one of those before!
- By no means do I suggest that I should have a publishing deal. No one reads this blog, so why should anyone read my book? I don't think I want to be financially compensated for my creative thoughts anyway. At that point they are no longer my own and belong to every blockhead who purchases my book at Urban Outfitters where it is displayed beside some book about raunchy sex positions and below some book about RZA or maybe the lesser GZA.
- Do not paraphrase an open letter by Dave Grohl addressed to Metallica as a negative rant when it is in fact praising them. The overlord of scene news, Jason "I know Fallout Boy" Tate, led me to believe that Grohl was lamenting on Metallica's mediocrity as of late. From there I began to lament on the mediocrity of the Foo Fighters as of late, seeing as their last two albums have been quite bland, and then labeled Grohl as somewhat of a hypocrite. Alas, after reading the letter, by no means does Grohl "[implore] Metallica not to release their new album unless it 'kicks ass.' " Learn how to paraphrase, Tate. Come on, you went to some middle-range American University. They still teach English there, don't they?
- Montréal actually preserved their architecture from the 19th and early 20th Century. As a result there is an actual identifiable style. Take note, Toronto.
- I think I prefer the old pornographers. Either that or his daughter.

Some thoughts as of late:
