The Next Step: Full Episodes

If you don't remember the classic Canadian sketch comedy show The Kids In The Hall, then we can't be friends.

Self-Sustaining Tropical Getaway

Check it: a tropical bungalow in Costa Rica that is completely self sufficient. If I had the money, it looks like it would be very cool to stay at.

New Album To Get Excited About

So, completely out of the blue (at least to me because I apparently live under a rock) Nick Cave's noise/blues band Grinderman is release a new album next month titled "Grinderman 2". Really creative name right? Anyways, it also turns out that they are playing a show at First Avenue in October. Definatley going to that. I remember I bought the first Grinderman record at Innersleeve off a whim, just hearing from my buddy Chris that Nick Cave was incredible. The album did not disapoint. Check out one of my favorite tracks here.



Anyways, the new album looks to be just as awesome. I have a feeling that these guys can put on a fucking awesome show. Here's a link to the first single off Grinderman 2 in video form!

Dreamer

Let's suppose you were able, every night, to dream any dream you wanted to dream, and that you could for example have the power to dream in one night 75 years worth of time.

 Or any length of time you wanted to have. And you would, naturally, as you began on this adventure of dreams, fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure you could conceive.

And after several nights of 75 years of total pleasure each, you would say 'Well, that was pretty great. But now let's have a surprise. Let's have a dream which isn't under control, where something is going to happen to me that I don't know what it's going to be.' And you would dig that, and come out of it and say 'That was a close shave, now wasn't it?' Then you would get more and more adventurous, and you would make further and further gambles as to what you would dream, and finally you would dream where you are now. You would dream the dream of the life that you  are actually living today

Better Mason Proffit

Like I said earlier, this is a very cool old band. Here is a better song by them in my opinion. Again, it's a video of a guy playing the record, so the sound quality is a little shitty. But yeah, here is "Voice Of Change" by Mason Proffit, off the album "Wanted".

Two Hangmen...

Bought this CD for my dad the other dad after I found the song for him and it turns out to be a pretty great record. The band is called Mason Proffit, and the album is called Wanted. Apparently this band pretty much started the 'classic' country rock sound, almost like CCR. Check out "Two Hangmen", the big hit from the album.



I wish I could find a better version, because it sounds like this video was made with the vinyl (and you can tell). It's actually a pretty cool protest song.
