Animal-Friendly, Anti-Facist, Gay-Positive, Pro-Feminist or: How Less Talk, More Rock Changed My Life
I once wrote about the worst of Winnipeg. Now I’ll write about the best. I had heard Propagandhi’s first record “How To Clean Everything”, after some enterprising individual obtained a copy (read: stole it) for me from a chain record store in my hometown. Take that Capitalism! I remember not really being into it. It was…

I Can Tell You The Exact Moment I Fell In Love With Taylor Swift.
Taylor Swift rules. Fight me. Taylor and I’s courtship began early on in her career. Way before the whole ‘I love Taylor Swift, yet I’m a grown ass man – I’m so ironic!’ phase we’re currently living/suffering through. I’ve been a proud Swiftie since somewhere circa 2007-2008, and I came out as such, because I don’t give a shit. If…

Refused Are Fucking Dead To Me…
Full disclosure: I was late to the Refused Party Program. Refused died at a house show in a basement in Harrisonburg, Virginia in front of a few dozen people. It was October 1998. It was their first North American tour, and it was a total disaster. Their European shows at the time weren’t much bigger, save…

Nailed It!
This grizzled scene veteran often works in the music industry but he can’t stand anything associated with it. He tends to be apathetic toward anything and everything, with the exception of the recent Hot Water Music reunion or his yearly excursion to The Fest in Florida. He daydreams endlessly about moving to Gainesville or Richmond…

Call The Office Band Practice, Turned Into LA Traffic
Single Mothers broke up in 2009 – and have been playing shows ever since. I remember going to that first show in August 2009 at Call The Office. I probably remember that night better than the band does. That first show was booked before the band had any songs. All they had was a name.…

In Hate…
There was this girl in high school (she will remain nameless here) who, due to our last names being so close into the alphabet, always ended up sitting near me in every class we had together. The fact that we ended up in a surprising amount of classes together was odd, and suggested that we may…

I fucking Hate The Guess Who
I know, I claim to be into music of all genres. And I really am, honestly. I’m not one of those jagoffs who ‘loves everything except rap’ or ‘Can’t stand that country music’ Ask me to DJ your birthday party (Please do. DJ Dawson From Dawson’s Creek is for hire, and I’m cheap) You’ll get…

Five
Here are 5 things you’re likely to hear me drone on and on about lately if you’re unlucky enough to have a conversation with me. 1. The new Lawrence Arms album Metropole – My second favourite Chicago trio’s new album is out, and is amazing. Easily their best work, and definitely a top album of…

1995
Some fine CanCon for the holidays. There was a fantastic period in the mid 90’s where MuchMusic actually played music. Also, the music was actually tolerable. Imagine that? Hayden – Bad As They Seem One of my top 5 shows was a Hayden show in a Montessori school gym during a blizzard. He’s still got…

A Little Friday Depression
You know those songs that are so powerful, they’re like a punch in the cock and balls? Those one’s that are so good you want to cry, but then your co-workers would totally laugh at you for crying over some stupid punk song? I’m currently wasting the company bandwidth listening to this over and over.…

Single Mothers – Nice Dresses
That’s yours truly at 1:24. Though, 1:29 is possibly one of the best faces I’ve made on the internet.
