Recommendation of the Day: Start perusing other New Brunswick related periodicals; this one seems to have taken a turn for the worst. Especially if you look at the new daily section. What in pea soup is that? I’m sure Johnsonville will get its silver spoon out of its platinum ass in the near future, but until then check out any other website about anything. I suggest using a search engine.
Quote of the Day: “If you torture yourself a …

1. Recommendation of the Day:  Check out “The Wanderer Sessions” from Pollifax. If you want to hear some quality, spur of the moment live music from some local musicians, and from musicians passing through New Brunswick, then you want to hear this shit.

We live in a post-modern world where many of us have recognized that the perception of a situation might be just as—if not more—meaningful than the actual situation itself (Baudrillard). We might have an idea, for example, of what the “swing-space school” (mentioned in my first article “School or Warehouse”) is like that’s different from what the school is actually like. But, as W.I. Thomas pointed out, “Something doesn’t have to be real to be real in its consequences.” The idea of kids going to a “warehouse school” might make some people livid. But, in the end, the “school” is a school.

Then there was the rain. The …
