The flash piece was rejected for the second time today. It was also the least positive rejection I've received, although the editor did encourage me to send other works, so I'll take solace in that. I've been spending a lot of time lately obsessing over Clarion, if only because registration for summer classes here in Ottawa is coming up in a matter of days and I'm in the process of getting another student loan for next year (most of which, if I got into Clarion, would go towards paying for that). Plus, I sent in my application on Feb. 2nd and their website had quoted an eight week response time, meaning that it could be arriving at any minute. Anyhow, this obsession sent me towards Liz Zernechel's blog. She happens to be the Director of this year's workshop, meaning that she's the one processing all the applications. Anyhow, from a quick perusal of her blog, I picked up two important pieces of info (for the record, when I talk about Clarion here, I'm referring exclusively to Clarion East): 1 - This year's Clarion has received more applications than any other Clarion in the last ten years. Fantastic for them. Not so fantastic for me. 2 - Due to the number of applications, the eight week response time isn't one hundred percent accurate. Looks like I should still get a response by the 15th of April, though, which isn't bad at all. Keep your fingers crossed for me, people.

1. David Mead - World of a King: A fun, poppy tune to start things off.
2. The New Pornographers - Mass Romantic: The title track from the album that inspired my latest work.
3. The Hiss - Brass Tacks: Heabanging garage rock.
4. Hawksley Workman - Autumn's Here: A slow, reflective tune with a great horn section near the end.
5. Better Than Ezra - Sincerely, Me: BTE was cool back in the post-grunge days of the mid-90s. Since then, their material has been fairly eclectic. Here, they take on pop-punk and do a fantastic job of it.
6. Fountains of Wayne - Hey Julie: An amazingly fun and upbeat pop tune from the guys who sang about Stacy's Mom.
7. Jeremy Fisher - Singing on the Sidewalk: Another fun, laid-back pop song from a guy who toured across Canada on his bike.
8. Louis XIV - Hey Teacher: Equal parts garage and glam rock.
9. Matthew Good - Generation X-Wing (Acoustic Version): This one may be Good's best ballad, which is no small praise.
10. The New Pornographers - The Jessica Numbers: I know, I already did one of their songs, but I've been listening to a lot of this band.
