Holy 90s, Batman!

Woke to the sound of "Time to Pretend" by MGMT (sorry, no embedding...you know how selfish some labels can get :p ) playing on Live 105. I sat there through the entire song thinking "I've heard this before..." I swear it sounds like something from the early 90s from, say, Gene Loves Jezebel or something...very funky music. I may have to look into this album...

Book Report: Douglas Coupland

Okay, so I've been meaning to post this for some time now, so this may take awhile...

First off, I've been reading two books at the same time on average lately, and one of the things I've been doing is reading Douglas Coupland's stuff in chronological order. I've read some of his stuff before, and have always liked it, but after awhile I'd stopped reading them (usually due to reading other stuff) but still buying them when they came out. And not including some of his rarer stuff (like City of Glass, School Spirit, Terry, and the Japanese-language-only God Hates Japan), I believe I have everything of his, almost all of them first editions. Sometime late last year I read his Souvenir of Canada books, which were, of course, VERY Canadian in mindset and fun to read. And recently I picked up Life After God and Postcards from the Dead, both of which I thought I had but apparently did not.

So I figure, why not start a Book Report series here on RTS? I might move these to die_joncswerk later, but for now I'll keep them here...
