today i went to a toronto show at which four bands were playing. when we arrived, we were surprised to find that three of the bands had already played, but we stuck around to see the last one. while we waited, the venue was filled with music that sounded truly awful, inspiring comments about what it reminded us of (the consensus: whale noises). this music just kept going and going, leaving us to wonder how long exactly we'd have to wait for the final band to play. finally, it came to a merciful end, at which point the venue began clearing out, and we were informed by someone that the whale noises had, in fact, been the final performance.
