Sept 4
I haven’t made any progress with regards to the “Funkmobile” project – haven’t even started any work at all, actually. That’s alright – plenty of time for that one.
Some new stuff I’ve heard though. Hawksley Workman came out with a new album last week. I bought it on itunes, and I was pretty damned pleased. It’s more of a rock/alternative album than “Between the Beautifuls”, which I guess explains why he’s got a second album out within a year of the last one.
Other things: I have a long list of music floating around in my head to download (or buy, I do have that $10). So here’s the list from what I remember:
- Blink 182 (anything I guess)
- Sum 41 (select songs…we’ll see)
- Rheostatics (or is it Reostatics? I don’t know)
- Two Hours Traffic – “Little Jabs”
So far, that’s it.
There’s an mp3 on the “Hero Hill” blog I want to listen to. I forget why, but it will determine, I suppose, if I want to hear more.
Oh and I just remembered I need to get Red Jumpsuit Apparatus from Mike, and look into the latest Offspring album.

Is it a coincidence that after listening to Rae Spoon’s “Come On Forest Fire Burn The Disco Down” on Radio 3’s podcast yesterday, I’m reading a review on it today on Hero Hill?
It’s a pretty damn good song – and so were many of the tunes from R3’s Pride Podcast. I’ll have to get a list of the tracks later.
I got a copy of the latest Offspring album, but I haven’t listened to it yet. I’m more interested to find out about this other album I got:
“Americano: The Bluegrass Tribute to the Offspring”
I always love out-of-genre covers so I can’t wait to hear this one. Add the fact that it’s The Offspring covered in Bluegrass and I think I found a winner.
Will post later tonight what I think of it (hint: it’s great).

Sweet song from CBC Radio 3 Podcast #151. It’s called “Shoulder Pads & Shiny Shoes” by A.M. It’s really nifty.
Pretty sure I won’t find that Genesis cover any time soon, and the only way I’ll get that song by A.M. is by editing it out of the CBC3 podcast. Which I should do tonight, why not? Because I’m having issues with Adobe Audition, that’s why not.
Edit: if it’s on itunes I can get it there. Still have $10 to blow.

Got a great idea for a playlist and I don’t know why I didn’t geti t before. Was listening to Rick James “Bustin Out” and the idea came to me: Funkmobile. I don’t think I should say anymore. (Edit: haven’t worked on it yet.)

I checked out the Hero Hill blog this morning and was pointed to Revival Dear. Honestly I skimmed through the review and it was the picture that led me to take a listen. Good stuff, I’ll have to find their CD.
And an update on Catherine MacLellan (mentioned in my previous post of music I’m looking for). I found a copy of her CD through the CD Warehouse website. They don’t seem to have Revival Dear – but I found that at HMV (online only though, they don’t have it in stores).

I have a bunch of songs from the long weekend to copy from my phone but first I wanted to write down “Hot Blooded” by Foreigner (edit: who knows why, though!).
I’m going to be making a new road trip mix and I like these songs for it:
- Sugar Hill Gang – “Rapper’s Delight”
- Some country cover of Genesis’ “That’s All” (edit: still haven’t figured out the artist behind that one)
- Rick James – “Superfreak”
- V.I.C. “Get Silly”
- Chamillionaire “Ridin Dirty”
- R. Kelly “Ignition”
And a note, some shows I see coming up at Zaphod’s:
Chad Van Galen – Wed Oct 2
Fembots – Sat Oct 4
Apostle of Hustle – Sat Nov 8
I also forgot Iggy Pop’s “Lust for Life” and Pussycat Dolls “When I Grow Up” on that list.
