I went with Spiritual Machines.

I used to be a huuuge fan of Clumsy, but recently I've been listening to the first 4 again and man, SM is solid through and through.

Clumsy I think has the greatest number of A+ tracks (all the singles are solid gold, and there's a reason this was their breakout ...

In Repair and it's not even close.

That song is in my top 5 of all songs by any artist, nevermind just OLP songs.

So the Ottawa show was amazing.

I'm totally a lapsed fan and really was there more for Matt Good but OLP rocked it.

I haven't listened to their post Gravity stuff in forever - like I still consider Angels Losing Sleep a new song - but the new stuff they played was really tight and had great energy ...

wow I haven't been to this place in 8 billion years.

anyone going to the Ottawa show? I'm going by myself but it would be cool to meet up with some people.

Waltz With Bashir.

Highly recommend it. It's pretty powerful, and it's got a unique style.

Yeah, I was hoping they would at least play Naveed. Ah well, they played In Repair which made my night.

I wonder if they're going to bother doing a Naveed/Happiness tour. I'd love to see it but I doubt it'd sell. The Clumsy show wasn't even full, and that was with the people who had SM tickets.

Ah ...

Setlist from what I can remember. I think I have all the songs but I'm not 100% on the order. Due to the cancelled SM show, they threw more SM in the second half which I was more than okay with.

I should still be able to record the T-Bay Clumsy show if you want to send it my way. Just uhhh.... you'll have to tell me what to do since I've never recorded a show before.

Your loss.

I can't see any other game this year topping it. I might go so far as to say it was better than Uncharted 2, which was the clear GOTY last year.

It had one of the most intense endgame sequences I've ever played. Anyone on your team can die (and I mean 'die for reals in story' and not ...

Guys.


MASS EFFECT 2.

It's fucking brilliant.

Get it (for PC).

It has improved upon the original in about EVERY SINGLE WAY EVER.

It is also EPIC and BADASS. There are many more POSITIVE ADJECTIVES that I could use to describe the game.

If you didn't like the combat in the first game, this one ...

great technology wasted on a super cliched and slightly insulting story

Just Clumsy, got the ticket for Christmas.

I'll do a bit of asking around over the next couple weeks and get back to you on whether or not I've got anything to record with.

I've got balcony seats for the Thunder Bay Clumsy show.

I'll need to dig a bit to see if I've got anything to record with.

On the plus side, the Auditorium has super good sound quality.

Mother Mother is a rad band from Vancouver that at this point in time is opening for Matt Good.

Here are some of their songs. You should listen to them because they are rad.

If I Mother Earth can get in to Rock Band, I'm sure OLP can get in through the usual channels instead of doing RBN.

RBN seems more for the unsigned college band types.

Still a student. Have a demo reel now, but it's kind of shit.

Probably going to take a year and work on my 3D before I bother applying to any game studios.

Diggin' Uncharted 2. It looks amazing, and bonus points to Elena being back with snappy one-liners.

"Hi, I'm Elena Fischer, last year's model."

MAG looks interesting if people on a team will actually cooperate and follow orders. The command system looks neat.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Heavy ...

do you have the guts to challenge THE CRUSHAA!?

or perhaps the mighty DIRK FISTPUNCH

two brutes enter, one brute leaves

the ultimate bored-at-work-or-school combat challenge

I don't know who to vote for.

I know I don't want the conservatives in, though.

So guys, NDP or Liberal?
