Final Fantasy's (aka Owen Pallett) 2006 album He Poos Clouds won canada's best album with "artistic merit" last nite at the first ever Polaris music prize ceremony. yay!

i haven't heard Clouds yet but i have listened to Final Fantasy's previous album Has A Good Home.

aaaaand in perfectly cliched indie fashion, my newest love of life is Owen Pallett, who is pictured above. aw.

in completely unrelated news, i went to see A Midsummer Night's Dream at Bard today and oh man it was AWESOME, the best version of AMND i've ever seen or imagined. none of the speeches were snooty and all of the comedic parts were hilarious.

the play had a general wacky/eccentric air. the costumes were kind of a cross between random funky stuff and cabaret/baroque... the costumes reminded me of something straight out of a dresden dolls or panic! at the disco music video. sometimes kind of wtf-inducing, but mostly pretty cool.

the actors who played Puck and Bottom were EFFING AWESOME and they pretty much stole the show.

it's been raining like crazy all day today, though. i need to start poking around the fireplace and the thermostat in the house. i've been too cold since morning.
