Amazed

 I just ate way too many nachos. I put some chopped up garlic sausage, perogies, cheese and onion on them. Bangarang. Sooooooo, I'm dipping back into the phone notes for tonight's chip review. Without further adieu let me take you back to July 6, 2021 when I had some Great Value Hot Chicken..Nashville-Style!! flavoured potato chips. Did you know these chips are free from artificial flavours and colours and are inspired by Nashville (I find it weird how meat flavoured chips can be free from artificial flavours). These Great Value chips are ridged..mid sized ridges to be exact..with a light crunch. The flavour, well the flavour has a little bit of charcoal and tastes like bbq'd chicken. There's a dash of brown sugar sweetness here and there. The heat is dry and mid ranged that builds the deeper you get into the bag. Hot chicken is a very apt description. Good spicy chip, Great Value once again lives up to their name.

I couldn't think of a band from Nashville so I did a little bitta googling. Apparently Lonestar is from Nashville..I remember Amazed being played at Jr. High dances, that's something. The song's pretty meh to bleh, but parts of the melody are still retrievable from my memory, so I guess they accomplished their goal? Kings of Leon are a band that I was told are good and appear to be from Nashville, I want to say that my buddy who was into the talented rock musician scene in Brandon (I'm not sure how to describe it, it's people who actively took music education/lessons and such) had good words to say about Kings of Leon (or am I thinking of Mumford & Sons? [I don't know, Little Lion Man's a tight song {It was like 10+ years ago that my buddy gave me a positive review of either Kings of Leon or Mumford & Sons, it apparently didn't stick}]). Where was I going with all of this? Oh, yeah, Great Value Hot Chicken Nashville-Style chips are pretty good..and I'm apparently relatively indifferent at best to Nashville based bands. If you're reading this and think there's a Nashville band that I should hear either comment on the blog or hit me up on Instagram with a recommendation.

Stay hydrated,

Marc

Dying Every Day

 Yooooo! Old Dutch Pretzel Pieces, All Dressed Flavoured, are bangin'. I wasn't planning on putting up a post tonight, thought maybe I'd just take some notes in my phone, then I popped these in my maw and had to grab the laptop. The pieces are soo piecey, it's like someone had a bad day and took a bat to these pretzels (that would have been 1.5cm+/- diameter. I'm not typically a pretzel man, but these are thick enough that they're not just dried out meh, they have a dense crunch. Mildly bready (but still crunchy) goodness. Now, the flavour is what really knocked my socks off. I'm not sure if they use an agent or if there's moisture from the pretzels but the seasoning is heavily covering these pretzel pieces. It's like when you're at the movie theatre and put butter or margarine on the popcorn, then sprinkle some seasoning on and it's almost like a pasty seasoning in certain parts. There's also some well-toasted pretzel that welcomingly po...

Bed Crumbs

My kids getting slightly older means I can now bring them along on my adventures to shows in Winnipeg (at least when it's all ages and ties into a weekend..which is what happened just over a week ago). I was stoked with I saw Quit It! was making their way to/through Manitoba again and it was on a Friday. It was touch and go for a minute if I/we were going to make it but the hockey scheduling gods shone down on me/us and I was able to justify keeping the kids up late on a Friday night. First of all Domohaus is absolutely fantastic, Adrian and Hannah seem to have a scene (tapped into a scene), that's friendly (and more importantly kid friendly, at least IMO). At their 4th Annual Occasional Halloween House Party (with bands playing out of the garage due to mild spitting/rain) started off with Grotoko (full band style for the first time in a minute) killing it in their '66 Batman villain costumes. I love Blue's live stage presence, it fits perfectly with the confluence of d...

Prairie Nilsson (or the Bazooka Joe 204 interview)

  So back in June of 2022 I conducted an email interview with Joe Compayre. Cut to almost 4 years later, it slipped through the cracks and I didn't get it posted...now 2022 feels like a lifetime away....and for Bazooka Joe 204, 2 albums have come out since (off the top of my head, not sure if I'm missing anything); 2023's banger as part of the group Park Like Setting with This, That and the Third  and May 1, 2026 (this past Friday as of this posting) Bazooka Joe 204 put out his most recent solo effort  333 McPhillips: Halfway to Hell  (my first impression, no matter what moniker Joe Compayre is putting out music under it's always top notch and should be celebrated by all, Halfway to Hell is no exception. Every aspect from lyrics and wordplay, to flows to production [mixed bag of producers this time around] is spot on). Me not posting this interview had nothing to do with the quality, it just didn't happen. With that said I think there's some good stuff in here...
