Oh baby! I threw a pork shoulder into the crock pot late Saturday night for some Sunday goodness. What resulted was some pretty delicious pulled pork nachos.

This is pretty damn great. This is the entire movie Pulp Fiction, told in order or events, and in cartoon animations. Too cool.
I just took a stroll to Future Shop and picked up the two disc set of In Utero (I plan on getting the vinyl at Encore or Orange Monkey) for a cool 22 bucks. This album was a life changer, up there with Brighten the Corners and Angel Dust. I was obsessed with this album back in grade 8, and have loved it ever since. Top 5, to this day. This anniversary edition, I hope, is pretty cool. I am excited to crank the new Steve Albini mix in my car, give it the real test.
The only problem now, is do I really need 4 versions of one album on my iPod?
I say this every damn time, but this really is the last time I buy this damn movie. It seems like every year they re release this movie, and I am such a sucker/sheep that I keep buying it. Maybe its time I sell off some of my old Anchor Bay ones.
UPDATE: After going through this Blu Ray last night, I strongly recommend not getting it. Other than the new commentary, which is pretty good, this is a pretty useless disc. The Night She Came Home doc is ok, but nothing special. The other short doc on there looks like it was ripped off of youtube, interlaced lines and all, and thrown on here at the last minute. After that you are left with the same trailers and shit that have been on the previous 59 Halloween DVDs. The movie looks good, but to be honest, and I know Dean Cundy supervised the transfer, I prefer the previous DVD.
What do I know though?
Gary emailed me a photo of another kick ass autograph he got for me from a recent horror convention. This time its Junior from Last House on the Left! This will look great next to Hodder and Foree. Gary also took a kick ass photo with Camille Keaton from I Spit On Your Grave. So damn jealous right now.
Note: Gary always wears the Last House shirt I got for him to all of these events. Jackt! |
As a bonus here is an older picture of Gary with the mighty scream queen Danielle Harris. I always had a crush on her, so I felt the need to post this. Jealous. |
The big day has come! Laura finally got a car. We spent a summer with her using my car to go to work, and me borrowing Pappa B's truck. Yesterday we picked up Lauras car, and dropped off the truck with a bottle of Brandy for Dad. She is stoked to have a pretty sweet ride, and I am fired up to have my car, and more importantly, good stereo back.
We pulled up to the dealership and laughed our asses off cuz Shane had the car facing out with a giant tacky bow on it... |
...so we forced him into an equally cheesy photo. |
I got some more mail today, and this time its the new Sebadoh album. Joyful Noise, the record label, really knows how to put together a package. Inside I got a poster, a couple of stickers, the LP, the cassette, a couple of candies, and download codes. Last week they sent out a download code to those who pre ordered it so I had couple of listens already. To be honest I am usually quite hit or miss with some of the Barlow stuff, but when it comes to the Sebadoh tunes that I really love, its usually Jason's tunes. Jason Loewenstein is NOT a wanker.
I just found this awesome mix tape in my closet. I made this back in 2001 I think in my Fanshawe College days, when I had no cable. Its a killer compilation of heavy metal themed horror flicks. Included are Hard Rock Zombies, Trick Or Treat, Rocktober Blood, and Black Roses. This one will be played this Halloween season for sure.
Here is a killer jam from Rocktober Blood.
Fastway's Trick Or Treat
And finally this killer tune from Black Roses. ITS ME AGAINST THE WORLD!!
I have always loved the look and layout of the Arts and Crafts album covers. The colour striped down the left side leading to the A&C logo, and the two colour sample squares at the top. This was used on pretty much every album they put out from what I can tell. Well I was just looking up Buddy Rich, and saw how his first album was reissued on Verve Records back in 1999, with the identical layout!
Here are two examples of the Arts and Crafts layout.
And here are two examples from Verve Records.
No big deal I guess, but I found it interesting, just because for the last 10 years or whatever I have thought Arts and Crafts had a killer look to their album art, which they still do. I guess credit is due to Verve.
Looks like the poster I made for Vagrancy Films have been turned into flyers which have been posted around London.
As horrible as it is that summer is over, nothing feels better than the fall time. I am a human furnace who never stops sweating, so this cool weather is perfect for me. On top of that its HALLOWEEN season!! My favourite time of year.
Hesher's first fall |
Pumpkin ales are back! They aren't even that great, but I am too excited about Halloween that I don't give a shit. |

Some good tunes are rolling out this fall season. I have Faith No More's Album of the Year on order which I am super stoked about. I am also waiting for my vinyl and cassette copies of the new Sebadoh. These are the good times.
I found this sweet box for my 7"s at Orange Monkey. 8 bucks! I hope to find another one and make it my dedicated GBV box. |
Cranking Jason until Sebadoh comes. |
I just got this today! The 1995 Murder Records classic. The 8th grader Johny is so jackt right now. Also, the cassette store day copy of the latest GBV album. |
