Wow, the shopping mall! I wonder if their is any Ninja fans vs. Metal kids
high school style dissin' going on in the foodcourt. Speaking of
acceptance, their is a very good chance that The Herbaliser are going to be
playing the Montreal International Jazz Festival this year. We've all
started to grow goatees so that we may fit in with the thousands of
tourists that become jazz experts for two weeks every year. Seriously
though, it's really quite exciting.

On another note... scored a copy of Archie Shepp's 'For Losers' Lp today.
There is a really excellent vocalist by the name of China-Lin Sharpe on it.
Never heard of her, anyone know if she's done anything else.
