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,

Lean On Me

I first saw The Flatliners on May 9, 2003. They were opening for Bigwig/The Planet Smashers on the grind tour and kicked ass. Their sound has changed since that date but it hasn't stopped them from becoming one of my favourite bands both recorded and live. Because of my affinity for The Flatliners I was drawn to The Warehouse (Calgary) on September 26, 2007. Having never heard the other bands that were to be playing that night I had very few preconceived notions (I did very little, super lazy, research), I was just there to see The Flatliners and hoped the other bands didn't suck. To my absolute surprise and amazement, the opening? band (might have been 2nd of 4, I can't remember for sure [it really doesn't matter]) The Peacocks absolutely slayed. This 3 piece punkabilly band from Winterthur, Switzerland owned the stage. There was no fancy lighting, costumes or pyrotechnics..just three guys in jeans and black shirts rocking out. When they played there was pure uncut en...

2, 4, 5 Trioxin

I recently went on a road trip with my wife (Teresa) and daughter. Covered thousands of km's..Saskatoon -> Fort McMurray -> Calgary -> Home. Throughout this trip we stopped in at 4 record stores, 1 British food import store (to grab some of them uk chips, one of the many flavours was mentioned in The Letter F ) and stayed with friends/family in each city. This trip also resulted in at least 2 gifts that become tales in this here blog in the paragraphs below. The first record store that we ventured into on this trip was the Vinyl Diner in Saskatoon. Whenever Teresa and I go to record stores she usually leaves me to my business and finds a store nearby to browse or just hangs out at the front while I get into the zone. This time however turned out to be different. A few days after we arrived home from Calgary, I found out that with this particular visit to the Vinyl Diner Teresa was doing her own browsing, with the stealthiness of a ninja, that went completely unnoticed b...

I Don't Want to Go Down to the Basement, Either

I like pop punk. Ramonescore..Lookout, Recess, Red Scare, It's Alive records; you know, that ilk. Majority of what I'm exposed to (or expose myself to) is either American or based out of GTA/Ottawa areas. For some reason, it's rare for me to get a record and find out that the band is from the prairies or western Canada. This is not to say that there aren't killer pop punk bands in these regions, it just takes more digging to find them. (I know, you're angry and yelling Chixdiggit! at the screen right now. There's always exceptions). One of these amazing Canadian pop punk bands is based out of Vancouver and go by the name of The Hextalls. I had heard their name before but never really gave them a listen until last January (2014) when I got their LP "Rock You to Sleep". Shit is fantastic. Catchy, cheeky without turning themselves into a joke; straight forward pop punk. With heavy nods to the bruddas, I would be more than surprised if at least a few of th...
