The Boredoms:
Posted in Music on July 10, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I missed the Boredoms at Sled Island because the band I am a member of was playing and shit had to get done, and also because I was worried about missing Eric Bachman (who was sooo good). I was ok with that decision.

Here is something about my life that I don’t think people really understand.
See, when you go to work, you get to later on come home from work. Now, getting to and coming from work in and of itself is work (in the D. Smith meaning of the word) – Getting in your car, making sure [...]

Doing some work today, getting something done, finally. Listening to a lot of random music. Kept thinking about my favourite records so far this year, so I thought I would jot this down so that I could keep working:

Yet, all good things must come to an [...]

Here is the last new song from the two-day Destroyer-a-thon, which was played at the encore. I didn’t get a title (or a setlist…), but he said it was a “bluesy-number.” Enjoy it!
