Monday Morning Commute Album # 2 : Le Noise - Neil Young

i like to ease myself into consciousness most days, specifically so on mondays. the early week tends to be a little jarring for me, skipping back into the work-a-world routine of dime-a-day 9-5 cliches.

couple this with the cold, dark, winter months, and monday mornings can be downright dreary affairs. today's selection doesn't exactly counter that, it moreso embraces it.  though a little on the short side, this collection pairs quite well with the colour of a pre-dawn sky, and the cold smell of february.

hit the jump, and we'll talk about Monday Morning Commute Album #2, some Neil Young.

Liberal Leadership Convention - January 26th 2012

This past Saturday, the Liberal Party of Ontario held their leadership convention at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto to appoint a new leader, replacing outgoing Dalton McGuinty. Kathleen Wynne was ultimately selected, becoming the province's first woman and openly gay premiere (hey, yay liberals?.)

With the event at such a high profile location in downtown Toronto, it grew a pretty hearty protest/rally crowd. I quite enjoy these types of atmosphere, and as such, headed down with my trusty iPhone in hand to "document" some of the afternoon's sights. Hit me over the jump to take a look!
