Author: This isn’t the first time I’ve posted about Enemy You and it won’t be the last. They are probably my favorite straight up Punk Rock band. Why?
They manage to condense everything I like about the genre – speed, harmony, riffs, and solid (thoughtful) lyrics into short powerful bursts.
I gave up on iTunes long time ago after the DRM issues hindered my enjoyment of my own music and the music I paid for – however when I found out that Nitro Records exclusively released Enemy You’s last album on Apple’s service – I picked it up. I’m very glad I did, because like their tongue-in-cheek 70s styled homage to the 80s in a love song – it is bitchin’
Hmmm, maybe I should write Nitro and demand an album. Read the rest of this entry »

Today I am going to pick up Metric’s latest album which I’ve already listened too it a bunch times and is fantastic – time for art to support art! I have to say that the lead singer, Emily Haines, is quite possibly my favorite female singer ever. She can be wonderfully high without ever being shrill.
Funny thing is…this band, her voice, and the music always make me think of the wonderful lady that introduced me to the band (one of the most amazing people I have ever met…and the longer I know her, the more I want too – a feeling I doubt is shared).
Does that happen to anyone else? It’s funny how a person can reside in your mind and pop up into your thoughts at the most strange, almost seemingly inconsequential times. This happens to me often especially when I listen to music.
I can’t figure out what it means. I almost wonder if I am buying the album not so much to listen to the music but to just think of her…very strange. Such is life, no? Help, I’n Alive…is exactly how am I feeling…it is so hard to be soft and tender:
Watching the high scoring affair between the Ottawa Senators and the Pittsburgh Penguins last night got me thinking about some of my favorite hockey memories. Goalies can really make or break a playoff series.
The thing that always struck me as being funniest was when goaltenders got angry or fought – mostly because they are so armored up – its like watching people fight in those carnival sumo suits…if you just switched the soundtrack to Benny Hill…hilarity would ensue. Above is a homage to some “old time” goalie hockey fights.
I also remember watching the Leafs game in which Felix Potvin fought Ron Hextall and the one where Curtis Joesph fell into the referee…damn, I am a part of Leafs Nation.
