Foo Fighters – Medicine At Midnight

It's the Foo Fighters alright. They can crank out the jams and they seem to really love what they are doing. My problem is that the music doesn't really excite me. I just don't get that little zap in my nethers. Course, maybe I need to check my undies for scorpions. There are some cool tracks, like Shame Shame with a funky groove. Then…

It’s Groundhog Day!

This is one of my favorite holidays, because it's just the most absurd thing ever. Some chonker animal wakes up and predicts the weather for the next few months? Give me a break. What I like more than the holiday, though, is the movie, Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray. It is such a classic that is both funny and heartwarming. At times, it is…

Nine Inch Nails – The Fragile

Nine Inch Nails have been a huge love of mine since I was a wee lad. There was something about the sound and the destructive properties that really resonated with an idiot boy who knew not what to do with himself. This album came out when I was 18 years old and I remember listening to it on repeat. I was in love with…

The Notwist – Vertigo Days

Back in 2002, Neon Golden came out and was a refreshing indie electronic album no one was expecting. I haven't listened to much of The Notwist since then, but this new album Vertigo Days is a another nice "where did this come from?" album. What I really like about it is that it has a strong chill vibe that just seems to go on…

Matthew Good Band – Beautiful Midnight

The year was 1999 and I was watching Much Music on DirecTV satellite dish. (Much Music was the Canadian equivalent to MTV.) There was a music video of 4 dudes being chased by insane school children. I was hooked, because "Load Me Up" is a great song. Shortly after seeing the music video, I went on the old Napster or Kazaa (whatever MP3 download…

The Thirteenth Floor (1999)

This movie came out a few months after The Matrix and while there are obvious parallels, it is a different kind of sci-fi movie. The basic premise goes like this: the inventor of a new VR simulation system is murdered and his friend/colleague must unravel the mystery of who killed him and why. The movie does a good job of mixing sci-fi, noir, and…
