one last thing before I quit

I've been listening to a new band a ton these days. They're call Paper Tongues.

The band consists of seven different members with very different musical backgrounds. They started in Charlotte and decided to head over to California to try and get a recording contract. Their single that they released was based on this experience. This is what happens when you shove rock, hip-hop, funk, rap and soul into a blender. Here it is, Ride To California:

I've never been a big advocate for putting stickers on my electronics. I just figured that I'd grow old of it very fast and surely regret it as I'd never be able to scrape off all of the glue. But as many of my opinions have changed over the years, thank you technology, I am all for this stuff. Presenting GelaSkins.

GelaSkins are these custom covers that you can put on to protect your electronics, but also don't look like 2 dollar off-the-rack purchases. They are also removable.

Just watched Clerks again. I honestly don't know how many times I've watched it. I don't think that there will ever be a movie that gives me as much hope and acceptance to make my own. Friends as your cast. Hockey sticks as boom mics. General nonsense, yet intelligent banter. Cheers to one of the most stolen VHS movies in the US.

The third Saturday of April is officially Record Store Day across Canada and the US. Go to a store and buy some actual music. A bunch of bands, both from the past and the present, are releasing a bunch of special edition vinyl.



Check out the list of stores participating. Yes, there's even our favorites in Winnipeg taking part.

It's that time of year where most non-sports fans just can't comprehend. Hockey in spring. Yes, it's possible. And it starts tomorrow.

The NHL playoffs kick-off Wednesday with the first half of their quarter finals games. I'm happy to report that my two teams have made it to the 'real season'. But unfortunately, they're both the 8th placed team and each have to take on the top seed. I just hope that they put up a good fight. Here's hoping that either the 17- or 9-year droughts can come to an end.

Holy crap! I don't watch a ton of videos online, but I certainly believe that I watch most the good ones. And this might just be my most favorite. Ever.



It's called Pixels and it was put together by a company called One More Production. I definitely suggest that you check out their work, as they've got a bunch of great pieces. No idea how they did some of this, but it's fantastic.

There's little to secret to the fact that I am a Nirvana fan. They were one of the first bands that I would regularly listen to on my own and I have loved them since. Now, I don't love every song that I've heard, but I can certainly have them playing for days on end. Over the years, it seems as though I spin their records a little less and I really just think that it has to do with a lack of new material. It has been 16 years after all.

So here's my point. A story came out today about a guy in Aberdeen that found some old cassettes at a garage sale. They had KDC written on the back. He went home, had a listen, and he visited Nirvana's producers. They were Kurt Douglas Cobain's early recordings. Holy shit. Apparently the tapes' got singalongs with a ukulele and acoustic guitar on it, so a bunch of pre-Nirvana tunes. Unreal. Things like this make me want to reach into my inner-old-lady and just go to garage sales all summer. All of this 16 years after Kurt was killed. Boy oh boy.
