'Old Crows' are a 'Far' cry from daily Degrassi recaps



...What?

No, really, what does that title even mean? I explained it to myself and I'm still not sure if it makes sense. Anywho, here's today's Degrassi recap. Paige, dating her teacher Mr. Oleander, realizes that their relationship is in jeopardy of being exposed. Paige's Somalian-BFF Hazel learns about this illicit relationship and is like, "Hey, wut's goin on here; why didn't you tell me?" and Paige is all, "Hey, lay off," and then Hazel is like "Mr. Oleander, u only have eyes for Paige." Then, drama erupts in de hallway when Manny gets into a catfight with Paige. Mr. Oleander and Principal Hatzilakos (the new principal; fresh from the school shooting drama) come to break it up, but Manny goes "Mr. Pedophile, or should I say Mr. Oleander?" and the audience goes "Woah!!" Then, Snake gets pissed when Principal Hatzilakos thinks Paige is entirely at fault, and he's about to speak up when Mr. Oleander says, "We had...a relationship." The ep ends on a park bench, with Paige and Mr. Oleander concluding that his ephebophilia is totally warranted now as he is no longer a teacher.

In music news: I'm heading off to Best Buy (yes, I shop at Best Buy; go ahead, be a hipster ass about it) to get the new Regina Spektor and Alexisonfire LPs. If you prefer megabytes to mortar, you can get both albums at Amazon Mp3 on the cheap ('megabytes to mortar'? Am I a fifty-year old 'weblog columnist'?). Also out: a new of Montreal single (upon sampling I said to myself, "Shit, can't addicted to this album again"), a side-project soundtrack from one of the 700 people in Belle and Sebastian, the latest Soca Gold (admit it; you have the whole series) and some highly-British shit acoustishit made by a kid who I sorta look like. Except I'm American, and thus I probably have better teeth.

Buy Old Crows/Young Cardinals by Alexisonfire
Buy Far by Regina Spektor
Watch dat fight

P.S. Holy crap, the reviews on Amazon for the new Alexisonfire album is a goldmine of lulz. "I thought this was going to be a collection of pleasant bird songs but it's just a lot of screaming. Very misleading cover." Jesus, are people that dumb?

P.S.S. The guy who thought the new Alexisonfire album was full of frigging birdsongs may be a troll. I will keep you folks updated.

P.S.S.S. I don't think he's a troll; he's just a Jethro Tull fan.
