@Saueia @alexrmoskowitz (the show was great but I'm kicking myself for not going to the party)

@alexrmoskowitz Asking to Belle and Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch to sign my CDs after a huge concert and hearing: "oh you were over there in the left, right? You're very tall and wearing this orange shirt. We could see you from the stage"

what was your indiest moment? mine was probably seeing andrew bird play that free show in prospect park in like 2011

@Saueia @alexrmoskowitz I met Stuart Murdoch & Isobel Campbell in front of Nice N Sleazys in Glasgow while on vacation in 2000, they invited me to go along to a party at the Art College but I had a ticket for the Beta Band. Stuart then acted out that scene from Hi Fidelity (which Isobel hadn't seen yet

I can't make out the 1st line but the holiday jingle this year at work is something like "the gingerbread house is a broken shack, the walls are covered in cookie dough", the last line might be "buy yourself a bag of oreos". I think it's my new favorite holiday song...

@EA_guitar @Immeasurables4 @ThatEricAlper Sting in Brimstone & Treacle (I haven't seen it for years & wouldn't want to watch it again but he was brilliantly creepy), he was also great in Quadrophenia

@Immeasurables4 @ThatEricAlper not a scifi fan but yeah, Sting is a natural

Which musician had the best acting performance in a film?

@PoP_NovaScotia Still waiting for confirmed availability date of updated vaccine, Oct 16 is anticipated date of fall vaccine program in NS (announcement should be soon & then clinics will go "live" for booking)

Newfoundland has announced new Covid vaccination availability starting Oct. 16 Still nothing from Nova Scotia 😒 cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

@cpechous @ArielDumas I was visiting NYC a few summers ago & was walking near the Strand bookstore, it had just started raining & a man asked if I wanted to share his umbrella. I declined (it was a warm light rain & a really hot day), he called me an asshole and walked away

What’s your favorite interaction you’ve had with a non-celebrity?

@katynotie You can ask at a pharmacy & you might get 1 for free (I usually give them out if someone has a toothache or needs a cold pack) but they might be too big for what you need (we get fifty million every day with insulin delivery)

I am ready to swallow my pride and ask a question that's been weighing on my soul for over a year. Where in the void of Jesus hell are the lunch box ice packs in the grocery store? Where? Not with containers. Not with ziplocs. Where are they!? A whole year I have searched.

@jessrawk @jayfournier The only way I could "transfer" my Montreal Cure ticket was by giving a trusted friend my ticketmaster login info (it's so hard to get tickets to anything now & even harder to get flights & time off work, my days travelling for shows might just be over)

@jayfournier It’s so ridiculous??? Like I don’t even know if I can give them to a friend?? Like, especially the way big acts only come to certain Canadian cities, this is extra dumb. I’m supposed to do what lmao????

So apparently I am not allowed to sell my Montreal Arctic Monkeys tickets? Seems ridiculous given they went on sale almost a year ago and plans change for people. I don’t even understand.

@gigticket Sloan One Chord To Another (Canadian classic)

Name an album with a predominantly blue album cover. My pick: The Band of Holy Joy

@ChristnNitemare I thought of this scene in Midsommar youtu.be/cTLmVfYtzAw

This is what indoctrination looks like…

@jrmamana @lfitzmaurice Unsolicited corporate training video soundtrack (am glad he name checked the place he worked to avert thedanger of this being added to every grocery store playlist)

@lfitzmaurice larry this other owl city song is about how grateful he is that he had a job at a grocery store. in the chorus he says, more earnestly than you can imagine, “i owe you, hyvee.” it’s insanely good youtu.be/WvZou6flmhE

Have become obsessed with this terrible Owl City song about falling in love at the circus, one of the worst songs of the year easily youtu.be/pRvQqeRmHu8

@Variety Will always remember someome asking his father at a Putney Swope Criterion screening (at ATP Ashbury Park) about Iron Man, the room went silent & Robert Downey Sr said "my son knows how I feel about Iron Man"

Robert Downey Jr. Was '100%' Concerned Playing Iron Man for 11 Years Might Affect Acting Skills: 'Let's Work Those Other Muscles' variety.com/2023/film/news…

@BCDreyer As a Canadian my first thought was youtu.be/vMopzXFJAfk

@ThatEricAlper Driving back to Halifax from my first pharmacist job in Chester Basin, going to a show at the Double Deuce

@adamm0rgan @BCDreyer @ZabarsIsNY Love all of these, Brooklyn Bridge at sunset is magic. Want to revisit the highline & see the new section & The Shed. I did a West Village food tour that was excellent (& a bar tour that was cash only & a bit of a rip off). I recommend The Cloisters if you've never been

@BCDreyer @ZabarsIsNY I've done 2 out of 4, thanks for the recs! (I once stayed at the Times Square Marriot for a work trip and literally had a panic attack when I had to run out to a Dwayne Reade.)

I'm planning a NYC trip this fall, and need help making a list of the best off-the-beaten-track "NYC experiences" I haven't gotten around to yet. Any tips? (ex: going to @ZabarsIsNY)

@DrownedinSound Sebadoh in Cinncinati 2019 at the Woodward theatre, capacity 600 but maybe 40 people there? (they were still great) I was at a show in Feb in Halifax (local synthpop acts) with only 9 people in attendance & it was the most fun I've had in a while (everyone there was %100 into it)

Who have you seen play a sparsely attended gig?

@NS_scooke @morethanbuses After scotia sq lawton's closes the convenience store on Barrington St (LA Smith) sells single tickets. I found that out 1 time after realizing I was out & had no cash just before getting the ferry home & ended up wandering downtown Halifax for over an hour looking for tickets

Hey HRM! We're talking about bus tickets this week. Quote tweet with your worst story about trying to buy Halifax Transit bus tickets!

@seinberthguy @therealjoehowe @halifaxsig Woodside tavern!

@therealjoehowe @halifaxsig Taverns. Are there any left?…

@LimneticV @dawsonyassen @ACNewman Even if the venue gets a cut it's still a ridiculous amount of money (only limited by the amount of merch available, am not sure if they have local suppliers for local markets but it would be cheaper than shipping from Austrailia). Does anyone have an actual #?

@LimneticV @dawsonyassen @ACNewman I'm actually just guessing (based on the few times I've seen them & merch discussions in facebook groups), 5000 people attend & the average spend is $75 (some people buy shirts to bring home to friends who can't go, some people won't buy anything, but most buy something)
