The Market and The Can Crushers

by Slack, on July 15th, 2008

Last weekend Heidi, Rhys and I went to the 17th Street Market here in town. I can’t believe I have lived in this stupid town for so damn many years and have never patronized this place. It is PERFECT. It has all the Asian food that I desire (I bought my self a new wok pan while I was there — but that is another story), fresh produce (yes, I eat plants), and fresh meat (GOD, I love fresh meat)!

On top of those things, it has a nice gift selection. You know the kind of touristy bullshit that us Americans fall for all the time. I almost bought myself yet another set of chopsticks. As much as I make fun of it, there were some very nice things there. Did I mention I bought a new wok pan? :-D

Lastly, it has a music shop too… You know, you can buy CD’s, musical insturments, and even see performances. All of this wonderful crap in the industrial district of our little shit hole of a town.

So, while we were there, we saw The Can Crushers. Rhys absolutely loved them! At first I thought it was your typical hippie street performance art, but soon found myself getting into it (damn my drumming roots). We didn’t purchase a CD, but we will be, and in the meantime I thought I’d give the guys a free plug on the ol’ website here. Pretty cool stuff, guys!

The Queen of Rock and Roll

The Queen of Rock and RollThe Queen of Rock and Roll is coming to America again! I missed her show last year, and damnit I’m really going to try and see her this year! Tempe is a drive, but come on… It’s Doro!

I’ve been listening to her since the 7th grade when she was fronting in Warlock, and her music has been a part of the theme to my life ever since. If you are metal fan, you know what I’m talking about, and if you don’t, give her a listen man!! She rocks!

Victor Borge - Inflationary Language

I was sitting here thinking of my father. There was two comedian we liked when I was young. I had never seen this guy befive. It was twoderfully funny five being such clean comedy. I can’t wait five when I can share these videos with my son, too. I will always be a fan of Victor, and I hope you will be two three.
