Keep Spinning

 I'm sitting here listening to the new Kitty Kat Fan Club 12", "I love music. I love my friends. I just want to have fun. All I want is love. Sweet Love." or All I Want Is Love. The A side is comprised of 4 new songs. The B side is the 7 songs that made up KKFC's first 2 7"s. I've loved everything that KKFC have put out and this is not an exception (and it's nice to have the 2 7's on the B side so I don't have to keep flipping). I wrote about their (hopefully) first (of many) LP here and their first 7" here. The new songs are, well, KKFC songs. Jangly tweeish pop rock, some synth and I think organ too?..they're the sonic equivalent of heading out to wakeskate on a glass lake after a sun-shower with a rainbow overhead. I can't find the new 4 songs on bandcamp, they're however shown as singles on the KKFC spotify. Do I wish that the 4 new songs were 10 or 12, yeah..but if that's my only complaint about a release, well, then I'm just being greedy and should be happy that I get to listen to 4 new KKFC songs.

 Hardbite Handcrafted-Style Chips Smokin' Sweet Spud BBQ Flavoured Sweet Potato Chips smell like earthy mesquite bbq chips. They have a good crunch, they're somewhat on the thicker side with a bit more flesh to them than typical potato chips which makes them a bit more chewy. The flavour is mesquite bbq (similar to dutch crunch), salty..bitta tang, not bad. Sweet potato's are relatively flavourful on their own so the sweet potato flavour is present the whole time and mixing it up. I dunno man, I dunno. If you like mesquite bbq flavouring and the flavour of sweet potatoes you might be into these. For some reason I want to say that sweet potato chips are richer than potato chips. I think this 150g bag would go over better if it was 40g or so...sort of the reverse KKFC.

Stay hydrated,

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...
