Band of the Week – The D’Urbervilles

The D’Urbervilles

Another band for you. These guys have an 80’s feel which is simply awesome.

Band of the Week – Hilotrons

The Hilotrons

Love these guys, It’s sort of like a trip to the 80’s just listening to them, mixed in with modern synth and awesome lyrics.

Fav song: Science Fiction Music

Music: The New Pornographers – Failsafe

Check out this track by “The New Pornographers” I really really like it.
It’s cover of a track called Failsafe by A.C. Newman (Yes I know that A.C. Newman is the frontman for that band)

There’s also another version of the track done by “The Choir Practice

This post is probably going to get some really interesting google ads! :D

A first post.

Hello and welcome,

To what I hope is a great blog that you’ll enjoy. For the longest time I’ve had the dream of starting my own blog site. It started way back with a podcast called the Canadian Perspective Podcast. That died after first year in collage. It was fun, but I just got to busy to really have the time to even think about what to talk about.

Now with this blog I have the freedom to really put out some great content that’s…well..Geekish from a Canadian perspective. (Like how I brought that back eh?) To often I’ll look around the net and I see so many blogs and sites based around the stuff I love, but there’s not a lot that’s written by Canadians (Ars Techica being the exception).  That doesn’t mean that this site won’t have any international content just that it will be from the Canadian point of view.

So sit back and enjoy, and if you’re a Canadian who would like to contribute to the blog, give me a shout :)
