kings of leon

oh shit!!! i just got my grubby little mitts on a copy of the new KoL! it's called "only by the night".

two songs in and it's my favourite record of the year.


also, who knew but there's a new mitch hedburg out called "do you believe in gosh?" the track headless horseman is pretty awesome. you can check out that track at you ain't no picasso

i've got a review of the new shad record lined up, too so hold tight, sweethearts.

michael james

so, because i'm a "blogger" and i have a myspace account, i get spammed with a shit ton of new bands pretty much every day. most of them i'll listen to at least a bit of one tune, and if it sucks the monkeys nuts, it's gone. this seems to be the case in most situations. until yesterday.

this shithead comes out of nowhere and "drops some new canadian rock and roll" on me.

and ya know what? it's pretty fuckin' good. if you're familiar with mayor mcca he sounds a bit like him in some places.

he was smart and put the really good songs at the top of the list. it starts to get a bit too NORMAL near the end. but the tune "he do work" is fucking stellar.

peep that shit.

word.

rage against the machine

I’m not political. I never really have been. I don’t have the time or energy to really follow all that’s happening be it in my own country or in the country that shares our border. That being said, I know of some injustices. Peltier, Mumia, etc. The common thread of all these things that I do know about is that I learned about them listening to Rage Against the Machine.

I’m not going to say anything new here. RATM were in Minneapolis this weekend for the National Democratic Convention. They were supposed to play a show. The police wouldn’t them.

Fuck you. I won’t do what you tell me.

music savant

alright shitheads. i didn't know blogs could be the subject of other blogs, but i am.

go to the music savant and check out a quick little write up about yours truly and read some other stuff about some music.

mike's a big time pimp and loves music, so it's a double whammy. pussy and rock and roll. where can you go wrong?

coheed and cambria. that's where.

we, the undersigned

alright shit heads. let's lay it all on the line here. heavy metal music and punk rock is for neanderthals. except for good heavy metal and good punk.

now, let's be real for a second. i'm not a fan of the who "metal-core" thing that koRn influenced, save for a few bands.

we, the undersigned from sussex, or fredericton, or wherethefuck ever is one of those bands.

they borrow liberally from koRn (they'll never admit, but realistically, who would?) and my favourite norma jean, who's tune memphis will be laid to wasteis pretty much flawless.

so, you can check out we, the undersigned at their myspace page and tell them they should cover memphis again and let me sing.

you can also download their ep there for free. word up.

broken ohms

every once in a while i like to cruise myspace looking for the profiles of women who have accidentally flashed a nipple in their profile shot.

i kid. but that DOES seem like a good idea now.

what i actually cruise for are bands i've never heard of who don't suck the camels dick.

i don't remember exactly how i found them, but front runners for my favourite band name ever, broken ohms out of halifax blew me away.

every once in a while you hear a song and it's like "this is pretty kick ass on album, but it must SLAY DRAGONS live"... and it does.

this video really doesn't give it justice, but here's them performing "for the air" in Moncton.



you can check out their myspace page to take a look at their tour dates and listen to a couple tunes. their new record drops this month and i'm pretty pumped for that.

fuckin' eh.

So, the blog a good day for airplay told me about a record by a band called the major labels that have something to do with blur.

anyhow, if you visit their myspace page, you can find a link that brings you to noise trade , a site that will allow you to download albums for whatever you wish to pay, or by telling three of your friends about that album.

pretty fucking sweet. i just wish i could do the same for the "paste" subscription.
