Holy Shit! We’re back!

Jesus fucking Christ! (Feels good to swear sometimes, doesn’t it?) Okay so the site still doesn’t fully function, but I’ve decided to make this site work for me. But first I’m going to lay down a few rules. They are for anyone looking to start a fight based on some ... More >

Best Shots of 2009

I’ve had my DSLR for just over a year now, and while I don’t fully understand how to use its myriad settings, I like to think I at least have a good eye for shots…occasionally. This year I drove through the maritime provinces, visited my ancestral home, and went to Newfou... More >

Best Albums of 2009

Below are my Top 5 Albums from 2009. I think overall this year was kind of a let-down; there weren’t too many releases that really blew my socks off. There was a notable absence of some of bands (another year without a Tool album…*sigh*) while other bands came back fro... More >

Album Review

Them Crooked Vultures

The word “supergroup” gets thrown around a lot. Lately there haven’t been a lot of notable bands in this category. Rage Against the Machine minus the rage plus a whole lot of Chris Cornell, good for one album but I ... More >
