A friend of mine just turned me on to his site that has a couple tracks from his new band in Montreal, The Cockroaches .
Also, here's a new poem:

SIN CITY

Conversations are cheap to hold
but the simplest words
always carry
the greatest cost.
And who could've known
you counted on me
as someone to save
and worse,
to be let down.
And your words
always carried grace
even when they broke me down.
It's better this way
to leave it like a heart break
to linger as a symbol
of everything that's beautiful
and real
an instinct to trump all others
a colossal losing streak
to make all the winning sweeter
And I didn't care
if it came from a two-bit
flea bag pawnshop;
whatever you were selling
I was buying.
