I had so much pent up music ready to play since last week. I thought it came out fairly well. Well, really well actually. Next week will be so up-to-date, cause there are so many great shows coming the week after. And, since it's beyond the fact, I hate that Fucked Up won the Polaris prize this year. Elliott Brood should have won it hands down.

Hopalong Knut - Ut Gjennom Vinduet
Blue King Brown - Stand Up
Record of the Week Club - A Thousand Nights Alone

I will play Blue King Brown & The Burning Hell for the next 8 weeks at least. They burned up my summer. I absolutely love their albums - Stand Up & baby respectively. While the Weakerthans make me miss home, these two protect me from all sorts of homesick.
