So I took a little stroll to Beat Goes On this morning. Sitting right there in front of me was TONICS AND TWISTED CHASERS. A disc I did not own. I thumbed through the rest of the used GBV cds, and also picked out SUNFISH HOLY BREAKFEST. The lady helping me did the usual CD clean, and started to look at the Sunfish disc. She came to me and said there was a scratch on it, and that I can just take the cd for free!!
I came to work this morning rocking the Thrush shirt, and after setting everything up I decided to leave my office to go get coffee.
At the reception there is this old couple, I said - good morning! and the old lady says - wait a minute there young man, let me read that shirt.
I was jackt, so I stop and stretch out the shirt with pride.
The old man looks at it as say I know what Thrush means, its a disease... as he keeps reading, is that an actual band? Theres a band named Thrush Hermit? Yes sir there was a Canadian band in the 90's called Thrush Hermit.
Old man asks, are they still playing? Fuck yes they are! and tonight my buddies and I are gonna go get drunk as fuck at their reunion tour show @ motherfucking Lee's!!!!!!
Well I didnt say all the profanity and the drinking part but you get the gist of it...

Please note that the one DVD has the Thrush Hermit at Edgefest 95 show. The first show I ever been to in my life. The show where they did an entire Steve Miller set.......
Gonna be a good fucking day. Just sittin here in the afternoon waiting for Axl to arrive at any minute. Drinking my Sleeman. Watching my Pollard dvd. Listening to my Fucked Up vinyl. Good day thus far!!
I filled up an entire garbage bag full of garbage and other crap from my car the other day. Needless to say I was pretty shocked to find out how many CDs were hidden away in both the back seat and in the trunk haha. How much you wanna bet a good 80% of those CDs are in the wrong case?P.S. Thank God I found my Korn cd!!!
