I like when shows represent impossible worlds.maya glumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813756758665532573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152312.post-68651045053213568402009-11-12T14:02:42.275-05:002009-11-12T14:02:42.275-05:00Seriously, the list of crimes against good taste c...Seriously, the list of crimes against good taste committed by the rest of Canada stretches far beyond that, which is about 85% of the reason I live here (and actually, I only threw in snowboarding because that's what I did in the mid-90s).<br /><br />What was the Cirque Eloise show called?Jay Watts IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865195875976967242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152312.post-17328540234987089652009-11-12T13:57:40.405-05:002009-11-12T13:57:40.405-05:00oh ok, I agree with all that and am relieved to se...oh ok, I agree with all that and am relieved to see that the only thing I do is snowboard, but that's not cultural, it's because I can't ski and my dad likes me to be outside in the winter, and I am NOT shoveling. I also saw a pretty surprisingly rad circus performace at TNM last year, from Cirque Eloïse, and it was, believe it or not, edgy, sensual, and impressively evocative.maya glumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813756758665532573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152312.post-10351957745750464322009-11-12T13:49:10.033-05:002009-11-12T13:49:10.033-05:00Off of the most recent Quebec music charts: Celine...Off of the most recent Quebec music charts: Celine Dion, Cowboys Fringants, Mes Aieux...<br /><br />BUT...<br /><br />I should also stipulate that just because I think Quebecois pop culture is pretty awful doesn't at all mean that I'm championing Canadian variations.Jay Watts IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865195875976967242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152312.post-57321540968751795602009-11-12T13:34:13.041-05:002009-11-12T13:34:13.041-05:00Off the top of my head: jester caps, circus cultur...Off the top of my head: jester caps, circus culture, DJ Champion, metalcore bands, soul patch facial hair, snowboarding.Jay Watts IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08865195875976967242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152312.post-55935927209526490222009-11-12T13:32:29.452-05:002009-11-12T13:32:29.452-05:00wait... could you make a tentative list of mid-90s...wait... could you make a tentative list of mid-90s aesthetic mistakes? as a Québécois, I am suddenly filled with an apprehension that I COMMIT those mistakes without knowing, blinded by the society that prescribes it without critique..<br />As an incoming outsider to this culture, could you help me, please?maya glumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813756758665532573noreply@blogger.com
