Was in a gift shop in Mont Tremblant Village last week and they were selling mustache hats. Not hats for your mustache, rather they were hats with furry mustaches on the front.

Aargh! This is really tough - Mugshots has jazz tonight and it's Mike Essoudry with Lindsay Wellman and even though the show at Pressed is a rarer opportunity Mugshots is so close to home and such a cool room...
Maybe I'll see y'all tonight, maybe next time!

Woah.

When my cousin was a kid she got hit by a car and got a settlement. When she turned eighteen she got her money and bought a brand new 1976 Camaro, blue with a white leather interior and a hi-end 8-track sound system. I loved cruising around in that car the few times I had the chance as a kid.
She got married and her husband took absolute ownership of that car. He'd wash it by hand every week despite the fact that he'd only drive it maybe twice a summer. When they split up he actually got the car.
The last time I was in that car was maybe 12-15 years ago. It only had about 25,000 miles on it and it was still mint. The white leather interior was immaculate and whattya know, he never updated the sound system. It still had the original 8-track player in it and nothing more. I'm sure it still does.
Bitchin'.

We also had a cobra cb radio in our Pontiac leMans, my handle was motormouth.
My dad was a trucker so we had CB's everywhere.
My handle was Dozin' Dog.

I used to have an interesting 8-track collection but I have no idea where it is. I don't think it was in the fire...maybe it's at my mom's house somewhere.
I remember it included Van Halen's first album, Bat Out Of Hell, and a Cheech and Chong album.

Talk of packaging and autographs and how-much-you-paid without sharing photos of said record with the shots of scotch is about as lame as my asking for luck vibes on ebay auction bidding (thanks again everybody' date=' I hope you can accept my apologies for being a douchebag on those).
Remember, Make it visual, hipsters - or else, why does it even matter?[/quote']
lol, well a lot of people know me on this thread and I know I have this stuff.You too thread bashers i have never met, maybe scwha once at a nero party. I have extra's why not share the wealth. My collection is quite large. I am an vinyl addict to the fourth degree. As far as glass a scotch I drink scotch a lot. Since being employed at the lcbo for the past two years my palate for good booze has developed. I have a few nice bottles at home I take a splash of when i listen to records. Good enough explanation for ya brah's lol douch. now back to record talk.
Which LCBO you working at?
-
Sounds great Brad.
-
I got the new Mike Gordon album. I like the blue vinyl.
-
ops.
-
How do I get information from a floppy disc to a memory stick, or emailed to myself or somethin'?
Okay, go ahead DB.
-
...the assfaces at the Starlight won't even give me a guestlist spot despite me putting this show on a silver platter for them.
Dicks
That's remarkably lame.
-
Yeah, I considered that but in the end I just wanted to be in the room.
-
Tremendous birthday wishes to a steadfast stalwart and humble servant of the (mostly) independent music scene!
All the best Bradm, beers for you at the next show! (which for me will likely be April 17 at Mugshots)
-
Just grabbed cheap seats for Ottawa. $67.20 per ticket.
Christine McVie is back.
-
wait wait wait...are you going to go get mashed or pleasured on Friday then, Bradm?
or both?
I suspect it's just another in a long line of selfless promotion.
I, for one, will be at neither but also recommend both.
-
Not much luck today ordering tix onlinje for Canandaigua, slow getting through and now nothing but lawns. I'll see what comes up at a later date.
I was occasionally pulling pavs (like row NNN) up until just a few minutes ago. I've refreshed too many times so I'm forbidden.
Best I pulled was DDD.

The early bird passes were $160 last week, non?

So I (and Freak By Night' date=' I assume) am the only person who thinks this looks great?!?!

Ah, I'm not that pumped about it. The lineup is not bad, but not great. Still, there are many acts I'm interested in seeing this year. I will go most nights. I'll be in Saratoga Springs for Phish shows during the first part of the bluesfest.
Buried deep in the line-up announcement was Goddo, a power trio rock band that played at my high school way back before many of you were born! Goddo was my favourite band for a while when I was 14.
I didn't see Greg Godovitz in there!

Like, c'mon now, that's not a bad pile of music for me to ride my bike to. Plus they have more to announce. Did I read somewhere that they were holding back a biggie until April? Maybe still a Beck or Boss or Neil Young to come?
Anyway, looking forward to seeing you all there.
And yes, Jazzfest is better, as is becoming the norm. Which is pretty awesome when you think about it.
-
Leave some debauchery for me...I'll be there the second weekend.
-
To be clear, if you're not staying at the casino it's not an issue. There's a Journey's End across the street.
Look who's playing at 3030 in The Junction tonight (TO)
