WatchCursed II, organized in order. The quality is pretty damn good, all things considered, and the music speaks for itself. Canadian hardcore at its best. Unfortunately the band is no more; their gear and money was stolen while on tour, and they broke up after that.
My personal favourite has to be The Void, but take a listen yourself and let my know which songs grabs you the most.

Good morning, BC; how is the start of your long weekend going?

Strings on Kings with John the Singing Grocer, ladies! Great voice, great guitar work, great coffee, and at least two beautiful women; I couldn’t ask for a better summer evening.

Some Words; 2nd
“The last sip of beer number three sticks to my tongue like a first grader’s glue, leaving a little bit of sour and a little bit of honey for my taste buds. I toss my head about like a dog drying itself after a swim. ‘$3.50, the liquid courage special,’ I place the empty glass next to the one that contained beer two. A few drops left in the bottom of each of the three...

At the Royal Theatre with mum to see Paco de Lucia. Ooh-rah, flamenco guitar!

Feeling way too human today. Seriously; some mental states should be banned from the gene pool.

Hang out with une belle femme; jam with ATM; then chill with the Jolly Boys and some beers. Definitely a very good day.

Slick Fingers
I just had my mind AND soul blown. Leo Kottke is, hands down, one of the best guitarists I have ever seen.

Gibson Melody Makers!
I think Gibson finally did it right. One humbucker, volume, and output jack; all mahogany body, and neck; at a good price, too. Check out the Flying V: http://bit.ly/iy1Ckv
Maybe next year they’re release a BFV or BFSG, styled like the Les Paul BFGs released a few years ago. They weren’t very expensive, but other than not having an exterior lacquer and having a different pickup...

Les protecteurs
So, how many of you feel embarrassed standing in a cashier’s line up with a box of condoms in hand that you intend to buy? I know there are those of us out there who have never bought rubbers, but even for those who have (and/or still do), it can be a very nervous experience.
Then you realize that what you’re holding in your hand means that you’re getting laid. So imagine...

Ces sont finies...
…my classes; they are.
The last exam was today, and I’m feeling good about all of them. Now, time to focus on everything else; playing and teaching guitar more, learning to play drums, and most importantly, Union Sound System.
Stay tuned…

Tests!
Show up at 8:30, leave the exam room by 9:45. Those could be Dangerous Times.
Despite not feeling confident going into the exam, and spending such a short span of time on the exam itself, I think it went fairly well, since most of the answers just rolled out of my brain, down my arm, then all over the exam paper. I even completed the bonus question, though I probably didn’t do it...
