Hello friends!
We are back with some sound treats and sick beats! First up is our ode to Ottawa's rich football tradition, a look back at our youthful indiscretions and a grim portrait of where we stand today. Enjoy!
Union Of Authority - Ottawa Rriders
Heavy news. As integral a part of The Grateful Dead as any non-performer in the history of music perhaps. RIP.
"And it's just a box of rain / I don't know who put it there / Believe it if you need it / Or leave it if you dare
And it's just a box of rain / Or a ribbon for your hair / Such a long long time to be gone / And a short time to be there"
I had no idea about the Verified Fan deal until about an hour before the public on-sale. I got to the purchase page but couldn't select anything decent without an offer code. 😐
Awesome punk/metal/ska band from Montreal. I've been a fan for a long time but can't remember the last time I saw them live.
Minotaure is in the courtyard across from Place du Centre in Hull. I think it used to be the Bop or the Bistro?

I had to read the news several times before it sunk in. It still hasn't really. I knew Brad as a fixture of the Ottawa music scene years before I actually met him. I don't know anyone who dedicated himself with more passion to his... not a hobby but life's work. He leaves us a great legacy.
Aloha Brad!
So exceptionally bad they were good I'd say. Please clear something up for me... at one point were they not lip-synching/miming to the intro of one of their songs? It was the closest thing to a Spinal Tap moment I've ever witnessed at a live concert and I don't trust my memory anymore.
You're not excited by the out-takes of a not-very-good album? For shame! I would say, sir, that you hit the proverbial nail on the head. Or as the kids these days say: +1
Was it Animals? Because that's a perfect example of the superiority of 8-track... it was the only format that had the Snowy White guitar solo between the two "Pigs on the Wing" tracks.
