Jale was a killer Halifax based band that was scooped up by SUBPOP in the 90’s, along with a few other bands in the region. This is their first of three albums and my personal favourite… if you haven’t already, give them a listen.
My July record wall is up, and I had to try hard not too on just the rough up some Canadian classic again, so this time around it’s a birthday wall, each of these albums celebrate a birthday in the month of July. Hard to pick a fav on this list, but think Ill start with Maggot Brain
Bionic is the first album from Sandbox a short lived (2 albums) Canadian alt-rock band from Nova Scotia. Two fun facts… (1) lead singer Paul Murray is the nephew of Canadian legend Anne Murray and (2)Guitar player Mike Smith is better known as his alter ego “Bubbles” from the Trailer Park Boys… fun album, check it out if you don’t know it.
Starting off a new week with the new Bobby Lees album.. we almost lost them last year when they temporarily called it quits… I’m thankful for the new music and tour… and Jason Momoa who loves the band and helped them get this made
These are Korean inspired smoked and grilled ribs. Sauced with honey and Gochujang, with some toasted sesame and cilantro. The devilled eggs and have gochujang.
My June record wall is up, and this month I’m dissecting Rolling Stones top 100 Punk albums of all time. This will be a multi parter, starting with a mix of my favs albums from across the list, many if not most of which have questionable placement… they are in order from lowest ranked (top left) to highest (bottom right). Swipe to see the actual ranking by album and again to see the year each album was released.
Bought some incredible pioppino mushrooms from a local mushroom producer (Top Cap Fungi )this weekend and knew immediately they were destined for a pizza.. along with pesto fresh mozzarella and a squeeze of lemon. The second was a classic hot honey and pepperoni but with shredded pepperoni which cooks up really well.
11ft pole, but they found me. Baffle ordered
A few days late but the May record wall came together nicely… if your not sure what this months theme is… it’s albums that all share the same birth month… MAY.. and they are sitting in order of their birth year… today I learned that Black Sabbath Paranoid is older than Bob Dylan’s Blood on the tracks! No real surprises with the rest really, though I would have slotted Tool in earlier if I was just sorting album covers from memory
Another one I was happy to land on RSD was this Xmal Deutschland Peel sessions comp, I had originally missed it when scouring the list but stoked to see one available on the day. Who doesn’t love a good peel sessions session.
