Bruce Springsteen's new album, Magic, is out and I have listened to it once so far. It is good, but I am still going through Radiohead's new one. I am pretty ticked off that the Boss is only visiting Ottawa and Toronto for his current tour.
The people in Ottawa got a treat Sunday night, because Arcade Fire took the stage for the encore set with Bruce. I am posting Arcade Fire's Keep the Car Running, but they did a Springsteen song as well. Enjoy.
I am seriously so envious of those people in Ottawa. Also, be aware of copious amounts of swearing during the video. The pure joy of the audience is captured by the swearing reaction of the people taking the footage. Quite funny actually.
Got to go to bed. Good night.

Stupid Joe Thornton... and Heroes
the guy is a Canuck killer! Remember two seasons ago when he personally killed the Canucks and single handedly extinguished their playoff hopes? In the span of five minutes, he worked his magic and made me regret spending $50 of my hard earned bucks on a ticket. To think I missed curling to watch Canuck after Canuck miss the net. I will say it right now: I can't stand Ryan Kesler. He can't pass and he can't shoot. What does that leave for a supposed center? The Canucks have too many forwards who do all the same thing. They are tiny grinders that have lots of grit, terrible hands, and bounce off of big forwards like Joe Thornton like gnats at a garbage dump.
Yet I still believe. Go Canucks!
On a more positive note, Heroes has finally picked up the pace! Finally.
SPOILER ALERT!
I kept a running diary of Heroes: The Kindness of Strangers: Chapter 4
Molly storyline avec Mohinder and Parkman. Boring. We get it. She is having nightmares of some creepy guy. This has been drawn out too long. Still creeped out by the fact that Mohinder and Parkman are living together in a dingy apartment raising this girl that has no real connection to either of them.
Nathan Petrelli: The bushman. What is up with him and that beard?
Maya and Alejandro and Derek… intersecting with Sylar! Now that’s better. Maybe there is some hope after all for this storyline.
The commercial for this week's Office... can't wait. "I declare bankruptcy." -Michael Scott
Back to Heroes!
We find Micah living with his grandmother and his cousins. What is with all these Star Trek connections? First Sulu and now Uhura? I also find it weird that this is the first time that Heroes is blending our own world with the TV world by referencing Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans. I don't know if I necessarily agree with this move.
Are you reading my mind right now? No, yes. Sorry.
Brilliant exchange between Parkman and the now clean shaven Nathan.
Monica Dawson: Micah’s cousin. She looks like Gabrielle Union… identical lookalike played by Dana Davis, from the short-lived series last season called The Nine. Another show that Tim Daly could not survive in.
Finally, something cool. Parkman finds his dad in the big wig group photo.
Claire and West: Gag me. The cheesiest romance lines. I don’t want to see you hurt. Such a real lack of chemistry. What the heck does Claire see in West? What do I know about teen relationships? This whole relationship feels forced.
Parkman’s dad is the nightmare man! Good twist.
Sylar, such a bad ass. What is with the cockroach again? We saw that in the season finale. I can totally see Sylar playing Spock. Again more Star Trek connections.
Wow, Monica Dawson. Imagine being able to watch TV and learn anything from what you see. Does that mean if she watched an episode of Heroes she could learn all those superpowers?
This episode was finally something to start driving this season after what felt like a lot of wheels spinning in mud.
The promo for next week got me excited, because Kristen Bell, she of Veronica Mars fame will be on. *Sigh* I have a crush on her, except I don't like her new haircut with the bangs (what is with all these bangs that we see cropping up on all of the TV shows out there?).
Should be good. Very encouraged after this episode.
Yet I still believe. Go Canucks!
