I Can't Fight This Crazy Anymore

 What happens when you mix Grumpster, Small Crush, The Moore Family Band and Dog Party? We'll find out when the Doki Doki LP comes out. Based on the first 3 singles I Was Killing It Man, Liar Liar and I Can't Fight This Crazy Anymore it's going to be varied across the punk and pop/rock spectrum. I Can't Fight This Crazy Anymore is the song that has me really excited for the album to come out, it's fronted by Small Crush's Logan Hammon and has that sweet Small Crush 90's influenced danceable alt-rock sound that is just infectious. Wooo yeah!

So have another bag of Slide Gourmet Potato Chips in front of me tonight, the flavour du jour is Honey BBQ. I think these are going to be sweet with a mild kick. Not sure how the thick cut butteryness will blend in. 

The smell like BBQ with some oil (canola). The flavour is slightly sweet, a bit of honey lemon twang. With this flavour I can taste a bit more of the potato skins. The BBQ is low in the mix, but pops out in the aftertaste. The first couple chips I was all like, "I dunno" but the further I get into this lil bag the more I'm digging the honey lemon of it all. If I had read the ingredients before hand I would have known that lemon was in the mix, but I'm happy that I didn't, what a lovely surprise. They're crunchy chips, but the thickness of them lends to a crunch that quickly gives way to an airy potato crunch rather than a hard/well done crunch. Honey lemon baby with a hint of bbq on a thick cut potato conduit that's not overly greasy. Oi, these are an enjoyable cousin in the BBQ fam. And since it's only in a 2.5oz (71g) bag, these are basically health chips.

Stay hydrated,

Marc

Stairway to heaven 2

Dear Diary, I was in Dollarama last week picking up some last minute..well it doesn't really matter why I was there. Anyway, as I was in the line for the checkout and out of the corner of my eye I noticed a blue bag that I'd seen a million times before. For some reason this time, it's unassuming blue on blue top with stock photo potato chip bottom intrigued me (that in addition to it being 280g for $2). I thought, to myself, 'hey, they carry Covered Bridge..maybe these Made in Canada "D Gourmet" potato chips are some other high end chip that just happens to be carried in dollar stores.'. I proceeded to take the $2 leap and threw them in my basket. Within an hour of getting home I had cracked the bag and was happily consuming. These D Gourmet Salt & Vinegar potato chips were for lack of better term, pretty run-of-the-mill. The chips are somewhat sterile, no well done chips and no skins, and fairly lightweight. The seasoning is faint but fairly well di...

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'...

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...
