The Shattered Plinths

The above title is taken from a chapbook by Irving Layton I believe. I suppose this week's theme is crumbling rocks and spirituality or godliness through both, I'm not sure I just had these two spots in mind for a shoot after work today. The Christ cave shots were sought out after I saw it for the first time, surprisingly, because I used to ride my bike by there everyday, and my friend Dre of Earth Crusher fame lives near to it.
The above photo is from Bouchard avenue Dorval where they are tearing down an old factory to build condos with a masochistic view? That seems to be the plan, I guess they are running out of places to erect fourteen flour condominiums.

Mogwai

These guys fuck shit up. Saw them tonight at Metropolis. When those epic pedal parts kicked in I thought the whole place was going to fall apart. Brought earplugs but I took them out after the first song. Fucking loud like a natural disaster. They played one encore, three songs from Happy People, bunch a stuff from their new album, and closed it off with Batcat. Incredible fucking sound, just superb, the whole performance was honed to post-rock perfection, almost athletic in they're execution of songs, and of course those destructive crescendos.
