Hey guys, sorry bout the silence as usual, but my excuse is that I am experiencing some health issues lately to the tune of massive headaches and lost of productive filming. Filming which I have not taken advantage of enough. I should be interviewing every band I film and making promos for them.
But I digress, between now and all the time since I last posted I have scrapped a few things off the bottom of the internet for your approval.
Stella is going on tour! 
Yes, you can count me as one of the umpteen million people who just don’t get it when it comes to Stella, but I am super duper way into everything else these 3 guys do. In comedy I place them in my top 3 of all time. Bob and and David, and Larry David and anyone he works with being the other 2.
So when I was perusing Michael Ian Black’s Blog, and I was quite excited to see the headline about the Stella Winter Tour 2008. But sadly, no Portland show.
Maybe your city s on the list? Anyway, here is an old clip.
Kid Dynamite Tribute Album
These guys shoulda been bigger but broke up right before hardcore was peaking in mainstream popularity. I haven’t been to into them till recently and I am still getting acquainted with their melodic stylings.
One thing to be said about them is they have really short songs. Anyways, it’s gonna be on Copperlung Records and you can get way more info than I can give by going to Exclaim.
Kid Dynamite – Breakin a Memory
New Cure Album Doesn’t Suck
Yep, it’s quite alright. Unfortunately they are RIAA material so that’s all I’m gonna say cept there are some tunes on their myspace. Oh the video on their website has Robert Smith looking a lot like Heath Ledger’s Joker.
Comeback Kid’s Van and Trailer Stolen
Apparently Montreal is a place where you should always have someone guarding your van and trailer with all of your entire life in it. Winnipeg hardcore band Comeback Kid “had their van and trailer stolen last night (October 23) from a public parking lot outside of their hotel“.
My heart really goes out to them. That type of thing sucks. All there merch was in that van too. All you Canada lovers out there take note, Canada sucks just as much as all the other not third world nations. No offense Allan.
Allan’s World Contest
I once called Allan the John Chow of mp3 blogging and he didn’t like it. I’ve felt like a major kick in the pants ever since.
Anywhoo, Allan’s having a contest. All it takes is to comment with a valid email. There are 2 1 gig flash drives at stake.

haha I wasn’t really offended.
I just hate John Chow.
Thanks for linking the contest.

I swear John Chow used to be better, but after reading everything in the niche, I know everything there is about problogging and the fun has been taken out of it.
Fuck problogging, I now blog from the heart.

I think it’s become too difficult to make serious money now by blogging. It was great at one point but it’s definitely declined and I’m glad I got out of that.
As for theft from bands… Akron/Family was robbed in Toronto as well. There’s so much reported theft here.
