Letters: July, 2004
By wavelength ~ Posted Wednesday, July 7th 2004DONE AND DONE
Hey Wavelength,
Does Wavelength have the backbone to publish a response to it's myopic hipster's review of Bunny Brown's disc Tomorrow The World (June issue), on its website or in print? Next print issue? I suggest you establish some form of letters column so one can respond when you've been slagged by one of your writers.

NOT ON HER WAVELENGTH
F.Y.I. Genevieve:
Nowhere on my bio does it mention Iggy Pop. And although it says that punk inspired me, I do not claim my music to be punk rock as I'm not a zombie, so my influences don't strictly dictate my output. I never attended stadium shows except for the time I saw The Clash at the CNE and Radiohead at Maple Leaf Gardens. (I hate crowds.) I do listen to Q107 occasionally. I find some of that era's songs to be very accomplished and meaningful, and I did use a classic rock vibe to start my CD. But I think its message is more Modern Lovers than Mellencamp, and there are no cowbells. Sometimes I like to go the tongue-in-cheek satire route, the course of which was apparently right over your head while you were dreaming Brampton trip-hop. About your Hogtown hokum, I plead innocent, although I may be guilty of a little Niagara folly here and there. I never experienced Kensington Market in the '˜80s but an 'œold'? friend of mine tells me there used to be a great all-night hangout there called Tiger's. Earlier this year I did notice leg-warmers for sale in a couple of the market's trendy stores. If that means they're cool again you'll probably be wanting to rush out and buy some to wear under your skirt. Me? I'm saving my money in case Max Webster decides to reunite and put out a new record.

A FLYBOY ACTION FIGURE WRITES
Hey Wavelength,
Just picked up a copy of the zine after not seeing it for a while, the one with the painting on the cover. Man, you guys are smoking '” sharp-as-hell design, great no-bullshit music writing, and real community.
Kudos!
