The Things You Forget

Found this album as I was moving boxes tonight (Saturday night party!). I had completely forgotten about Frozen Ghost. This will not stand.






The 80s. It wasn't pretty, but we have to own it.

Cocaine Coloured Computer Cards

I was never a Max Webster fan. Little did I know that this awesome paean to prog rock was in their quiver.



The lyrics are too delicious to ignore.

it's another world we think in / because words are obsolete
two thousand years we kissed the devil / before we knew defeat

chapter eating marx one morning / freaking out on electric meat
chewing thrills with turkish madmen / space speed to sweden without sleep
cocaine coloured computer cards / coding cosmic zipper skies
vitamin clouds beyond the moon / yogurt blood lunacy shoes

acid warped the global fetus / like the bourgeois look at feet / and cadillacs
two thousand years we crossed up jesus / thinking he'd make ends meet
christ no

you can't make the world to order / like a hotel service's food
take the sixties as a movie / take the seventies as fuel
you've got a reason to be endless / because your mood is summer cool
let deliverence be existence / before this song becomes your fool


Fuck Kim Mitchell; Max Webster rocks. Too bad I'm 30 years late to the party.

Hahaha! Stupid Fucking Calgarians


By a vote of 10-3, Calgary city council has voted to embrace bad teeth. Stupid fucking Calgarians.

Wait, what? Ah hell no.

Please don't spam me with anti-fluoride bullshit. This issue was put to bed years ago and all you fanatics have are lies and obfuscations. You are as bad as anti-vaxers. Please grow and consume your own food and get the hell off the grid, because you are a threat to public health.

Batmanny, Cartoony Goodness

Do ya like Batman? Do ya like 70s cartoons? Do ya? Do ya? You do? Then you are in for a treat; Bat-Mite (voiced by Paul Reubens) hosting a wacky episode of Batman : Brave and the Bold. Three different versions of Batman and Robin (Mad Magazine, anime, and Scooby Doo) all done with an eye to accuracy and a ton of irreverence. It's sort of an updated walk down Saturday cartoon memory lane.
