Snowing tonight. Just enough to

March 07, 2002

Snowing tonight. Just enough to stick. Just enough to make it sound different out there. Just gave Pat (Steward) a ride home after a day of recording drums. Copyright's "Into the Light" single came on just after I was alone and heading home with the streets empty and snow starting to fall. What a great song. What a great band. If there's ever going to be a doping test for just plain faking it those guys would be clean. No faking. They are able to be cool without anything "put on". They can rock without a self conscious bone. What they talk about they know and Tom's vocal approach can range all over the place without ever making me feel he's acting or being overwrought. Christian has such depth to his playing and Pete Bourne will always be one of the best drummers to have come out of this city. Every song that came on between that one and my arrival at home was complete window dressing (cardboard cuttouts of rocking out and being earnest). I think its probably really hard to be Copyright and I admire them for it. Heard the Tragically Hip's "Gift Shop" on the radio today too. It was the sonic oasis of this morning. The intro alone is worth the price of the CD. That's only two songs I want to remember out of so many I heard while running errands all over the place. I guess that's why they call it a "seek" button. "They call me the seeker" -- not too fussy but seeking all the same. Ready to settle for something almost good. Even ready to settle for a bit of stray information that might pass from one ear through to the next without taking any part of my brain with it. That's what driving is about. The snow will deaden the sound.
