January brings depleted bank accounts, and over extended credit cards. It also means bday gift certs and cash burgers. Scored a couple of new and older albums for the collection. 

Trail of Dead has release their 10th album this past Friday, and I am full on obsessed with this one, and have been cranking all of their past albums while I wait for my compact disc copy in the mail.  Check it out!

There are too many damn albums that have either come out, or yet to come out this year.  Not that I am complaining.

Here is my favourite tune off of their first album, and probably top 3 TOD tunes ever. Its like they tried to rip off Sonic Youth, but ended up making a song thats better than ever Sonic Youth song put together.

I found a whole roll of posters/flyers/set lists from my Fanshawe College days at the folks place.  Blast from the somewhat recent past.  So many great bands, so many shows, so many brown out nights.  I would say about 90% of these are from Call the Office.
















Seeing TCHORT on that Danko poster really got me in the mood to crank some Tchort.

How does Trail of Dead release an album this past October get by me?!  I must be slipping in my old age!  I had no idea that they released a new album.  Encore, here I come.

Here are some of the CDs I have bought in the last two weeks.  Great stuff.  New GBV, new Trail of Dead, and a replacement copy of the first Bronx album (I wore out my original copy).

I am seriously in LOVE with this new ....And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead song.  While I did like their last couple of albums, they just didnt hit me like their earlier stuff.  This sounds like a return to that earlier sound.  Loud guitars, and less pianos.  FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Here you go Adrian....

This was always so hard to do so I told myself I have to make a top 10 list within 5 minutes. No over thinking. Its harder than it seems. Mainly beacause I keep looking at what is missing. At The Drive Ins "Relationship of Command", Refused's "The Shape of Punk To Come", Thin Lizzys "Fighting", Alice Coopers "Billion Dollar Babies" etc.

I am sure half of these will change in the near future.....maybe even tomorrow. However the top 3 have been those three for a good number of years now.

New Mogwai and new ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead.
