Kind of a pessimistic title for a Mother's day isn't it? Oh well...Jason Collett is part of the insanely talented Broken Social Scene collective, and his solo record 'Idols Of Exile' is fantastic....Here is my favorite off of that album...its beautiful, and sadly true
Just reading the Fedge tribute page exhausted me...so i think i will post about music instead of posting about other people's posts.I like music...i like this song...its one of the fist videos I ever posted on MOG..wow, have i really been MOGging for 8 months? Seems like only yesterday...
