Montreal Canadiens Hall of Fame

Seeing that now's the season to be a Habs fan and all, me and my buddy Morgen headed down to the Montreal Canadiens Hall of Fame on sunday to really get into the spirit and history of one of the world most prestigious teams in sports. Example, for the English that look at my blog, it's Hockey's Manchester United, to you American's, it's the Yankees, to Kiwi's it's the All Blacks, to my french friends, it's the... it's the... Anyways, for 10 bucks you get to enjoy all of the history from the past 100 years, all well presented with authentic jersey's from old fav's and helmets from some of histories best goalies and so on... Have a look if you're in the area, really makes you feel like that good old days were epic, and makes you believe that even after game 1 against the Flyers, that this series is still far from over... fingers crossed.

I got more pics over on my FLICKR page, just click HERE!!

Go Habs Go!!

Montreal Canadians have got their backs against the wall again! They beat the Washington Capitals in 7 games and tonight they could set themselves up for another game 7 if they beat the defending Stanley Cup Champions the Pittsburgh Penguins. Game 6 is tonight at the Bell Centre, go out, wear your colors, have a few beers and support the Habs... win or lose tonight, support your Habs

Olympic Pride Parade

Here are a few pics from the Parade that was held in downtown Montreal for the Canadian Olympians, if every other sports team in this city can have a parade then why can't the Olympians have one too? How can we support them for two weeks then just forget about them for the next 4 years? That's why me and my buddy Jose went out and support our athelets on a sunny days and so I took my camera along and reckon I got some good pics, here are a few but for the lot, click HERE and the link will send you to my FLICKR page where all the other pics are posted.

Something to Spring to

Here are a series of albums that I've enjoyed over the past few months, if you got nothing to listen to these days, have a look at this!

First off, The American Legend Johnny Cash. I reckon this is the last album from the American Series produced by Rick Rubin. First track titled Ain't No Grave is a prime example of how haunting and genius this album is... it's like he's in the room with you. Really worth the listen.
From Toronto's finest Hardcore act the Cancer Bats. This album is brutal, really brutal, like pulling out your teeth brutal... most bands in the scene start off hard then soften album after album (which isn't a bad thing, it's just a fact) but then you get bands like The Chariot, UnderOATH and now Cancer Bats who just give you heavy music that I enjoy, mainly when I'm running like a idiot at the GYM.
Yeah so ok, the whole cartoon thing was cool like 10 years ago and then the second album didn't really catch my ears. Now 5 years after cartoon Gorillaz are back with a 80's sounding album that I really enjoyed, sounds really good on the iPod and check out Stylo if you haven't heard it and if you like muscle cars and Bruce Willis then check out the video featuring Mos Def.
Nerdy nerds... Vampire Weekend are the Bees knees of nerdy indie music but you gotta love it. This album to me is the soundtrack of all good 80's movies, almost all songs are Paul Simon from the 80's... I'm not ripping, I'm loving it, this album came out in January but it WILL sound better this summer.
Broken Bells, a combo of DangerMouse and James Mercer from the Shins just released a album and I really like it... it's one of them albums that you always have to start it from the beginning and listen through to the whole thing, it's not one of them albums where you skip from track to track, it's a long player and the opener is a kicker.
15 years in "the game" and Deftones are still better than you and your band. After the near fatal car accident involving Deftones bass player Chi, Deftones made the decision to continue and record a brilliant album that is dark and heavy like the opening track Diamond Eyes and Rocket Skates and some other chill tracks like 976-Evil and Beauty School. It's like remember Korn and worse... Limp Bizkit, two bands that got mixed in the same category as Deftones in the late nineties? What ever happened to them?! No matter who old I am, I'll always enjoy this band.

By the way, every album above has a link that you will send you to a YouTube video of each act to give you a better idea.

Enjoy!

AOF in MTL

Soooooo like a million years ago, I went to see Alexisonfire at the Bell Centre, they were one of the many opening acts for Billy Talent. Long story short, the "organizers" only allowed me to stay up for 3 songs and then I had to leave so with all the excitment, I took a bucket load of pics and here are some of them... I took these for the band's label and some of them ended up on the band's iPhone App of all places so head over to iTunes and download the App.
