"Brown Sugar" - Short Short Story by Jeremy Brendan

This miracle pie, this delicious mish-mash of secret sugar, this bundle of baked pleasure, good enough to make you wish you weren't born yet... The girls were chirping about this pecan pie as if it was a web woven by miracle spiders to catch your palate and feast on your salivating remains.

"What's with that pie?"

"I know!"

"I had three pieces at my house the other day...gone."

"Gone?"

"All gone."

The brunette licked her lips, straining to taste any of the pecan filling that might remain.

"There is something seriously fucked about this pie."

I pictured the quartet lying in a burned-out basement, windows shattered, a mouldy mattress lying on the bare concrete floor, Velvet Underground playing on an old mono turntable, and the four girls huddled around a brown bag.

"Hurry up!"

"Chill out!"

Out comes the round heaven dream, the epitome of bacchanalian sugar sex magick.

Within minutes, all four horsewomen are lying on their backs, lips painted brown with sweet pecan memory.(1998)

Country - Africa - Live @ Sala Rossa on May 24th, 2014- review & video

Beaver Sheppard has been making genius/frenetic lo-fi acoustic freak-folk here in Montreal for over a decade, but since starting critically-acclaimed Montreal SleazeRock band Country, his musical palette has become even more colorful and effective. 

Beaver has defined a goal for SleazeRock, specifically to remain 10 years ahead of Los Angeles musically at all times. What would LA think?

Working with  bandmate/DJ/Producer David Whitten, his new songs are boisterous and sometimes approaching My Bloody Valentine territory, if they were playing the Dance Revolution Arcade Game while recording their bed tracks. Think Ride (when they still had pedals) covering New Order. This is music made for when your friend Molly drops by, ancient folk wisdom married to an Asimo robot at drone-point.

Here is Country live @ Sala Rossa performing one of their notable songs "Africa" live @ Sala Rossa on May 24th 2014.


Expect more from Country in 2014. We will keep you posted. Also, if you are a Montrealer, Beaver is a chef at one of the most notable restaurants on the island called Bethlehem XXX. [Ed. Note:  Jeremy Brendan Foodie Review pending!]
