kay. Music stores to go to; Zulu Records -> this is the only place you need to know about. Practically everything can be found here if its still avaible. Great new and used selection in both cd and record(they give a really great return on used cds, so most of the picky people go here). On fourth and Maple (in the beautiful neighborhood of Kitsilano) Scratch Records -> located half a block south from Georgia on Richards. Its kind of hard to notice, cause just looks like a doorway into a building beside a hair salon, but its got a good selection of punk and electronic music. |

and as for you ....as if you even know what youre talking about |

Zulu is good but it can be a little over priced. I always look in Zulu then go and see if it is in A&B sound. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Zulu is worth supporting though. (a&b sound doesn't have anything I want usually) |

In british columbia their are two cities. Vancouver and Victoria. They are quite beautifull, and worthwhile to visit. Outside of these two cities are collections of little towns and villages, that contain some of the most backwoods people you have ever met. The people are known as pinks and they are the very definition of 'white trash'. Occasionally, though, you might find someone who is evolved enough to realize that "there might be more than this', or 'jesus, these people are stupid." Unfortunately, for these people, they usually die before their time, or they get caught up in loveless marriages with pinks that they are too honest or commited to leave. Occasionally, one or two of these people do make it out alive. |

Just think Wales with less sheep molestation |

|
do you consider burnaby to be in the "backwoods"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You don't live in Burnaby do you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I live on Burnaby Street which is neather in Burnaby or leads to it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes i do live in burnaby. just call me a pinky i guess :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
darn autechre are playing after ive visted vancouver -arghhh i/we intend to visit victoria as well for a day |
||||||||

Well, its part of the metropolous. Not all burnaby people are pinks... there is a gradual progression of pinkness that starts at boundry, and slowly moves from normal to pink throughout the city. Same with richmond. People that are fucked: 1)All of new westminster (but that doesn't even need to be stated here)... 2)Most of surrey (there are some nice subburbs) 3)Anyone else. So the rule is you are either pink or non-pink. (although you can be non-pink with light pink undertones... that is OK) Non-pink people can live amongst pinks, but they usually find themselves very uncomfortable. |

that'l explain my desire to leave lloyd... |

i always sort of figured every one in BC was much more relaxed and cool than the rest of Canada... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
relaxed due to the ganja maybe? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well that, and the beautiful landscape is humbling... i'm not kidding when i say you can tell the exact moment you cross over the border from Alberta to BC... the mountain roads start to wind more, and the forest gets more badass lookin |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh i am sooo lokng forward to this , been to blackbird myoosik recently dead? or are there better stores in ed? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer Listen... but it's very much a collector's record store and a lot of people disagree with me... for IDM they are about equal... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, it is. I left out the fact that bc is like the rest of canada, except fill in vancouver with [insert city like montreal, quebec, toronto], and replace BC with [insert everything else]. Unfortunately, alberta is missing pretty much anything as far as a [insert cool city here]. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if Edmonton and Calgary had a high speed train running between them, they'd be as cool... but divided... they are sort of both okay... but not in the same ballpark of coolness... the thing about most prairie cities is that they have to make their own fun, some most of them are at least decent.... in their own little ways |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they could just extend wyte ave and [insert street of interest from calgary] so that they meet in red deer. :D Then not only do you allow edmonton and calgary a degree of coolness, but red deer becomes less lame! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha... no, i'm sorry... Red Deer will always be lame. |
