80's are the new neon?!

Remember the eighties?

I do and I dont. I remember things like Transformers and Optimus Prime. I remember watching Saved By The Bell on saturday mornings. I remember the Canucks being really bad until they got Trevor Linden. I remember watching hair bands on tv. I dont remember the early part of that decade but how could anyone forget the neon! So for just that fact alone, I have created a new 80's playlist complete with a zip file so you too can enjoy it.

here is the link

80's playlist



I am going to go put on some spandex and go for a jog!

Its The New Year and I'm Kinda late

Well I hate when you erase your text because I can never remember what exactly I wrote the first time and it never is as good as the first time.


Lets try take two.


I just finished reading 'Moneyball' I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
Its a very good read for those who like to read about the inner workings of a professional sports team, more specifically the Oakland A's.

I got Guitar Hero 3 for my Wii on Xmas. I was rather addicted to it. My two sisters and I stayed up till 3am that night finishing the game...well worth it. There are some rockin tunes on there.



Currently now, my attention has turned to Madden '08 for the Wii. You can created yourself (in a manner of speaking) and the object is to try and create a hall of fame career. I suck but getting better...


On the music front I am excited about two concerts that are coming up in the future. The show that is closest is the Sia show. Anyone who reads my blog (all three of you)know my admiration for Sia and her live show and can only imagine how excited I am that she is coming back. Last time was at the Media Club and now its at Richards on Richardson Feb. 20th. See you there? You should also really go out and get a copy of her new cd, Some People Have Real Problems. You can find it at your local Starbucko's. Coffee and a CD?



The next show is Foo Fighters. I am perdy stoked about this show because I am really anxious to see Dave Grohl in full force. He is pretty much one on my fav front men in rock or any music for the matter.Check out this vid of him on the now defunked Craig Kilborne show.





What else has been going on...hmm...well i should give a shout out to the original n and her blog. i didnt realize that i stole her name. Sorry about that one there. Here is the link to her blog. I enjoy the simplicity of it. Its is called We Used To Play Together.


I know there is a lot going on here but the final two things that have been occupying my time.

Juno. Go see it! Great soundtrack, great movie, just great. Here is my fav song from the movie

The Moldy Peaches -- Anyone Else But You

And the final thing is Justice- Dance. I think that I was a little slow on finding this song but I am glad that I have!

phew...that was a lot to say...maybe I should update more often.

Ho Ho HO?

Once again its that time of the year, the rain is falling, there is no snow and i am out of school. for two weeks that is. yes its a glorious time...

now to fill you in on whats going on over here in my world!

Sia is coming back to Vancouver. She is playing in feb at richards.
Her new album comes out in the new year as well. The link below leads you to a song.

Sia- Electric Brid

Pearl Jam has released their annual xmas single. Its got an original xmas song plus a classic.

Pearl Jam- Santa is God

Pearl Jam- Jingle Bells

Finally I gots myself a Wii. I love it but only when there are other people to play with. I figure thats the whole point of the wii. i am a batting champion. in the home run derby i set a record by going 9 for 10 (record being on my wii). i was so proud that i took a picture of it!!!








Merry Holidays everyone...its festivus for the rest of us!!!

Travis

Hello Blog readers,

I just got back from seeing Travis at the Centre for Performing Arts. What a great venue to see a show. i took a few pics with my camera phone...not the greatest phone but there are some cool shots in there...

A few highlites from the show:

- the came onto the show to the them song from rocky, dressed in boxing robes
- fran, the lead singer played a song unplugged with just his voice. by this i mean he de-amped his guitar and sang without a mic
- they were full on energy and banter
- the guitarist andy went into the crowd during one song to play his solo
- a guy started to yell out about how the band gave free tickets to this old japanese couple. turned out that they were old friends of fran's mom. the ladies name was dot and he asked if they liked the show. the cute couple seemed slightly embarrassed
- they did a cover of the weight by the band
- sing and why does it always rain on me and writing to reach you were very strong songs
- thats all i can think of right now...
