Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me...

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest yesterday (and still managed to get in free although it sold out all night) and I just have to say, even if you're not a scary Johnny Depp obsessive like myself, everyone will love this movie. Although not quite on par with the first, the action is amped up, the stakes are a great deal higher and the story has a much more sinister undertone. Look forward to the fantastic Johnny/Orlando Bloom/Jack Davenport sword fight. I won't reveal the ending, but I just have to say, I was blown away. I'm no movie critic, but if you saw the first one, POTC:2 is worth checking out.

Feel free to post opinions about the flick.

I vaguely remember someone asking for some Gogol and if not, I've finally cracked and you get some anyway. I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical of Gogol Bordello at first, but he grew on me and now this is one of my most played albums. I personally love when different genres fuse together and this mixes traces of latin, punk and reggae, with Eugene Hutz's fantastic voice and a lot of accordion. You won't find gypsy punk anywhere else. Highlights include 60 Revolutions, Start Wearing Purple and Mishto!


Track List:
1. Sally
2. I Would Never Wanna Be Young Again
3. Not a Crime
4. Immigrant Punk
5. 60 Revolutions
6. Avenue B
7. Dogs Were Barking
8. Oh No
9. Start Wearing Purple
10. Think Locally, Fuck Globally
11. Underdog World Strike
12. Illumination
13. Santa Marinella
14. Undestructable
15. Mishto!

All your sanity and wits will vanish, I promise

Happy 4th of July to all you Americans out there and happy belated Canada Day to my fellow Canucks.

Simon & Garfunkel - I Am A Rock

I came as advice, I came to shore

Once upon a Thursday, a girl was doing her bi-weekly hunt through the local music store, searching for all that's new and not crappy, a difficult task this was. Upon reaching the M section, the girl came across a discovery, there was a copy of The Moon and Antarctica for a very, very low price indeed. Having only a burned copy of this album before, this made the girl very happy. She then immediately purchased the album for the very, very low price indeed and all was well in the kingdom.

And yes I believe it is still available to be purchased, I got mine from MapleMusic. I cannot sing enough praise for this album, particularly the 10-minute long There Is No Such Thing As Love.

You're so pretty when you're unfaithful to me

On a completely unrelated note, at the end of August, I will be moving to the nation's capital, Ottawa. Which means concerts will come to be instead of the other way around. Which means happy!

If I suddenly went blind, would you still look in my eyes?

Dallas Green is the guitarist for Canadian screamsters, Alexisonfire. Deciding to depart as far away as he could from the angry yelling and maniacal jumping, City and Colour he became.

Your words are like knives

Hyper-colour tells me where my baby is hot

I received a request for a Har Mar Superstar album, likely due to him being in the Road Trip mix and since I always try to meet my requests, particularly for those that I love myself, here you go. I absolutely adore this album, it's my favourite to blare in my car. No, I have not as of yet seen him live, but it is a goal of mine, as he's supposed to be phenomenal. His antics alone would be worth the ticket.



Track List:
1. Baby, Do you Like My Clothes?

Your mojo witchcraft, honey, it's working on me

I still need a few more songs for my road trip mix, so if you love me, get your asses in gear.
