It's freedom night on my TV apparently. CBC plays A Bug's Life - yea, kill the grasshoppers - and then the less happily ended Braveheart - yea, kill the English...oops - and flip to PBS's Austin City Limits and it is the Polyphonic Spree (warning - the best and most appropriate use of introductory …
