We've posted our version of Bob Dylan's "Dark Eyes" which was recorded for the upcoming film "Victoria Day", you can hear it here on our MySpace Page Also, check out our YouTube Page where we've posted some behind-the-scenes footage from the making of Love At The End Of The World. Victoria Day: With the long Victoria Day weekend signaling the end of school, and the Stanley Cup playoffs afoot, the summer of 1988 arrives in Toronto. Ben Spector, a smart, sensitive kid from a Russian immigrant family, hits the Bob Dylan show with his buddies and runs into Jordan Chapman, the class prick and Ben's hockey teammate. Jordan is five dollars shy of scoring some drugs, and Ben begrudgingly spots him the dough. But the next day, Jordan fails to show up at school or hockey practice. With days passing and Jordan's whereabouts a mystery, Ben finds himself in an uncomfortable predicament, especially when a romance with Jordan's sister tentatively blooms in the midst of the ordeal. First-time director David Bezmozgis, a celebrated prose writer, imbues seemingly spartan interactions with emotional complexity. There's a palpable tenuousness lurking beneath scenes as Ben becomes preoccupied with Jordan's disappearance in a more existentially unsettling way than he can fully grasp. As his friends play Hacky Sack and set off fireworks, he's entering that unfamiliar, liminal state between adolescence and adulthood, where consciousness of human vulnerability begins to surface.

Just a quick and slightly compromised note to you all wishing everyone best wishes in 2009. Thank you all for making our 2008 so special. We've had a great time seeing old friends and making new ones and look forward to continuing the trend in the coming year. Few and far bewtween are the moments in life where we pause and consider just how quickly our roll around the big wheel spins, take a moment in the next few days to consider how important it is to appreciate the ride, all of it, good and bad, it's who we are.
Much love from the SRB
