We’re very excited (freaked actually!) to present Uncle Bad Touch‘s first Montreal show, with guests Desert Owls and Griefer, this Friday night at La Sala Rossa. The show is a fundraiser to help us put out our next issue which is very nearing completion (also very exciting after a year and a half of hard work!).

So please come on out and show four minutes some love, these bands really rock, and it’s going to be a kick-ass night to remember (or not)!

For those that know me personally, Sept. 3rd will also mark my very last day at Cossette. I’ve decided to leave the day job behind to focus on teaching and my own projects. More on that soon, but for now it’ll be another good reason to celebrate!

…I was trying to draw out a comment by you about what you think poetry does? Or what is poetry for?

Poetry done right stops time.

As follow up to the above, with the cultural landscape so crowded with everyone, uhhh, doing their own thing how can a writer be heard?

Take hostages.
