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

The End of All Things

 I am not an expert on Nomeansno, but I can tell you this..their music can be quite difficult to get on physical media (LP, CD or otherwise [unless you want to spend somewhat spicy money]) in Canada. Luckily, Alternative Tentacles reissued Wrong. Now, cross border shipping is still muy caliente, but enough distros picked it up in Canada to allow me to put Wrong into my record collection this year. Nomeansno (since 1979) played (ended 2016) chaotic punk rock that I want to say fell into hardcore, but they were far more than a single genre. Wrong is unconventional for a punk band to say the least. The bass is lively as hell, with a tone that's absolutely perfect. The drums know when to get weird and when to kick it into overdrive. I don't know if it's jazz or funk, but there's something in the mix that if Nomeansno wasn't so aggressive it might feel pretentious..instead they're just odd and make me wish I had the opportunity to seem them live. Lyrics are talk sung...

Piss Angel

I'm not super into metal. I enjoy dabbling into the genre every once in a while, however I am far from being an expert.  A good number of years ago I read a review of this band called Pig Destroyer; they had no bassist and played some heavy fucking metal. I checked them out on myspace because the review, and name of the band, intrigued me. The music was good enough, however being that I lean more towards the punk side of the music spectrum I didn't feel the need to add any of their music to my collection. That being said their name has always stuck with me..and whenever I put those words together it brings to mind blackness. I can only assume that their shows have the gnarliest of mosh pits. In my mind it'd be one of those pits that people go into expecting to get hurt. The first few minutes might be awesome but eventually you end up with a bloody nose and dislocated shoulder. It's more of a dick out than a fun time... This past Friday I had a small bag of Blair'...

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...
