The Ocean Buried

On a slightly less depressing note, The Ocean Buried! Local band from Oshawa specializing in Pop-Punk. They're about to release an album, "Electric Love" (which i already own, thank you very much!), and if you want to be at the release party, it's May 15th, at Durham College. I'm going. I'll put up some links. I think it's an event not worth missing and it's cheap, only 10$. There'll be plenty of other bands too, like Hello Beautiful and others. Anyway, I hope to see you there, who ever in the world might be reading in... ;) If you haven't noticed, the song "Radiation" is the Video of The Week! Hope you enjoy!

Guaranteed OODLES of fun.
Anyways, more realisticly, I don't think it's possible for us to pinpoint the exact date of our demise, especially if it's off of some calendar created some 2500 years ago. The calendar has to end sometime! The Mayan were great people I'm sure, sacrificing people and tossing them 14 storys (no disrespect), and they were sure good at that kind of stuff, telling time, but I don't think that it's possible. I think man is upsessed with trying to figure out the end of us. I mean, what's more interesting than death? How can you explain something that you can't experience. I always say it's like trying to describe colours to a blind man. 2012 will be the end of nothing but an other year. We will be January 1st 2013, looking back at how that is. It's like Y2K, a bunch of rubbish. If I was old enough to understand that, I probably wouldn't believe it, just like I don't believe the Mayans. Even if it was proven 100% guaranteed I wouldn't believe it. I don't want to know the day I die.

Shawn Lee and his Ping Pong Orchestra

He has released many albums with and without Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra.

LATE OF THE PIER

So, usually, I do alot of reasearch on bands before I blog about them, but I already know a little bit about this band. Have you heard of the movie "Yellow Submarine", by the Beatles? Well if you watch carefully, you notice that the first two things written are "Late o" and "The Pier". I feel kind of proud about figuring that one on my own. (: Anyways, they are an English band and the play dance-punk type music. Kinda sounds weird, but its legitemately cool. They've released two albums so far, the last one being "Fantasy Black Channel", which I find... Pretty amazing. I only heard this from a friend of mine, but one of their videos might end up on the video of the week. Who knows?

Public Service Announcement

The video of the week (formerly updated every Friday) will now be updated every day of today, meaning Wendnesday. Today, we will break the tradition with "Would you Be Impressed" by Streetlight Manifesto. Changing it to Wednesday makes it alot easier for me, since I don't do anything on Wednesdays. I guess it could be something to lift your spirits on "Hump" day.

Merry HumpDay world!

Youth Brigade

Born in Hollywood, California, Youth Brigade is composed of three brothers. Shawn, Mark, and Adam Stern formed the band along with Greg Louis Gutierrez who played guitar. Recording five studio albums between 1982 and 1999 and founding their own record label, BYO (Better Youth Organization) Records, their philosophy from the begining was that "youth" was an attitude, meaning that you could be 16 years old but be mature than a 25 year old. They had a belief that every generation could change what they thought was wrong with the World. My favourite album, "To Sell The Truth", with a 14 song track including the oh so popular "I Hate My Life", which was featured in Skate. All in all, a great band with great vocals. 4/5

The return of blogging

Wow. It's really been a while. I must admit we're not the 4th of March anymore, so the Music Video of the week isn't very much up to date. My bad. Anyways. If you want a sneak peek of the bands I'm going to blog about in the near future, follow these links ;)
