So I was talking to Adam, I says, "Hey Adam, have you tried Kettle Brand (Cooked in 100% Avocado Oil) Hawaiian Barbeque with ginger infused sea salt chips?"
Adam replied, "Naw man. What they taste like?"
"Well let me tell you. They your standard somewhat greasy Kettle Brand kettle cooked chips with a decent crunch and the skins left on the potatoes", I replied.
As I took a breath to continue with my assessment Adam interrupted me, "I asked what they taste like, not what the actual chips are like. You have the attention span of a goldfish!"
"I was getting there! They're a sweet barbeque with less of a barbeque twang and more of a pineapple sweetness. You definately get a Taste of Ginger *wink* with 'em as well. They're a lighter flavour than the typical sweet barbeque chip flavour. Pretty damn good. Almost as good as Ogikubo Station, you know, that band on Asian Man that put out an EP this past March"
"You mean the band with Mike Park (of Asian Man Records and too many killer bands to name) and Maura Weaver (of Mixtapes..and guesting on Masked Intruder's Heart Shaped Guitar). I had heard they were good but never checked them out. Care to elaborate?", Adam inquired.
"Really stripped down predominantly acoustic music with dual male/female vocals. There's the odd flourish of electric guitar, tympani? drums, keyboard..but mostly just mellow acoustic music. It's beautiful. Thoughtful socially conscious lyrics that are simply painting a picture rather than preaching. The only bummer is that it was too many songs for a 7" so they released it as a single sided 12" which makes it damn expensive to get in Canada with the exchange and shipping. Maybe I'll just have to compromise and get the ol' compact disc"
"Neat. But, why did you turn a conversation about chips into what felt like a brief review of a punk adjacent band?"
*I shrug my shoulders* "Why not?"
Stay hydrated,
Marc

New layout is like early aughts geocities redux. Also, I thought the avo oil tasted lighter than the Kettle standard (peanut? Canola?). When you going to DIY chips and write a review of your own band?
