I forgot to get the remote before I got on the floor. Stretched & exercised in silence. Big Wreck will be playing constantly for the rest of the day here.
Don’t feel as though you need to open every link.
Time to get back to some exercise. My nerve doesn’t really cause me any pain any more. It’s really only annoying & uncomfortable. I did some exercising today, drastically lowered the sets though, & no squats until this thing is gone completely. More stretching, with a dash of exercise. Stretching & sitting around is REALLY boring!
The Watchmen, originally out of Winnipeg, will be releasing a live vinyl record. No date or price announced yet though.
Heaviest albums of the 1970s not by “Black Sabbath”
Nope, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. I’ve never been able to watch more than a quarter of an NFL game. I’ve heard about the game though & that’s all I need.
“Highly Suspect” will be the musical guest on Stephen Colbert tonight. Monday, February 6, 2017! LANGUAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I fell asleep to “Big Wreck” the album “Albatross”
I exercised to…..Nothing at all. I did my crunches yesterday & I just need a break from exercising. I’ve had tunnel vision on exercising. I need to stop & smell the roses! I hope they don’t “…smell like poo, poo, poo….”
Wrong week to take off from exercising! The 2 late night talk shows I record, Jimmy Fallon & Conan are both off this week. I’ll grab my kindle & guitar this week? I can’t watch Ellen Degeneres during the day. I watch that with Kim as soon as she gets home! I’ll be here as usual & keeping up with the blog & emails, etc. My body could use a break though!
I really try to avoid politics in general. The recent law imposed by Carolina is flat out stupid & I’ll never ever understand the need for it. No it doesn’t affect me personally in any way, but it’s flat out LEGAL discrimination. A few years ago I wanted to see a particular show. It was a big name act, I can’t remember who?
I had the presale password & a gift card for the ticket company. Because I’m in a wheelchair, they told my mother over the phone that presale tickets are not allowed for wheelchair seating. They changed their tune & immediately got the manager on the phone when they heard the word “discrimination”!
Monday’s movie review courtesy consequence of sound – The Jungle Book
Pearl Jam canceled a show in North Carolina because of the new law of HB2. I’m sure many people would agree with this decision!
What album are you waiting for this year? I didn’t know ‘Lacuna Coil’ was even releasing an album this year, that’s pleasant surprise! I’m waiting for that, Third Ion, Into Eternity, Tremonti, maybe Tool & maybe Alter Bridge? Possibly more that I’m forgetting, like I heard mention that Pearl Jam might release a new album?
I never understood the attraction to The Deftones? I do know a handful of friends that enjoy them, even my brother put them on as we drove to Winnipeg. They don’t make me cringe or anything, I’d just never purchase an album of theirs. I don’t do reviews, nor do I listen to Deftones. Here’s a review by Mr. Anthony Fantano.
Friday night & Saturday afternoon are the last 2 spring training games for the Toronto Blue Jays in Montreal. Sunday, April 3rd they play Tampa Bay in Tampa as their first regular season game!!! I’ll see Kim again in the fall once the season’s wrapped up! Well I guess until all of the seasons finish I’ll be watching “Blue Jays in :30” the games highlights in 30 minutes. I hate watching those, but it’s better than nothing.
Ian Fletcher Thornley performing the song “Secrets” live.
Kongos are done their new/3rd album!!!!
“We’re very excited to announce that our new album, Egomaniac, comes out June 10th! The first single, Take It From Me, will be available on all digital platforms on April 15th. Pre-orders for Egomaniac also start on April 15th.”
All of this slamming Ben Affleck, yet Batman vs. Superman is the number 1 movie in the world? Ben Affleck says thank you for your money, walks away & drops the mic!
LANGUAGE!!!!!!!! Notice that he’s not an official movie reviewer, but a fan?
Now a word from another random fan on facebook about the movie.
“Screw the critics ..Fans loved it”
Any review on anything should be taken with a grain of salt. Make up your own mind about it. Do you want to follow the crowd, or march to the beat of your own drum? That’s exactly why the majority of this blog is me saying “Hey, I like this, maybe check it out if you like?”
This may be a good way to look at things. I don’t like sub genres. Metal is metal, rock is rock, pop is pop, country is country, EDM is EDM, etc. It’s either good or bad, whatever type of music it is. “You like Lamb of God? You must like everything metal”. Nope, but nice try!
It’s almost time for the regular season & I’m more than ready for it!!! It’s like a really long Christmas for me!!!
The Blue Jays are handling the contracts of Jose Bautista & Edwin Encarnacion the right way I think (79 home runs last year between the 2). See where they are in the standings at the trade deadline or a week before (July 31st ), pick one if the team is doing well, try to sign a reasonable contract, trade the other. Or let them both test the free agent market & see what they’re worth. Not sure if that’s the plan but I know they haven’t been offered a contract.
Now that’s “electric”!!!!
I’m done, here’s your pop culture news!
I’m worried that Donald Trump even has a sniff at being elected as the next President.
Does this mean Canada & South America will be gated communities? AWESOME!!!!!
Fair enough. I like superhero movies there’s 4 I plan on purchasing on blu-ray this year already! Star Wars, Batman vs. Superman, Deadpool, Captain America:The Civil War, & who knows what else. I have some room on my shelf of movies & TV series. Star Wars is out on April 5th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
40 years ago “Judas Priest” released their 2nd album ‘Sad Wings of Destiny’
I don’t want to report on this again, she deserves her privacy, which I assume is difficult for her.
Tom Hanks with Stephen Colbert as they ask the big questions
Linkin Park update from the studio. I got to the Linkin Park party far beyond casually late. “The Hunting Party” released in 2014 was the first Linkin Park album I bought. I borrowed the other CDs from a friend.
I fell asleep to “Lacuna Coil” the album “Broken Crown Halo”
I exercised to “Baroness” the double album “Yellow & Green”
“The Odds” were great way back when. I’ve got their first 4 CDs. I’m good though with that & yes I still listen to them every now & then. I saw them live when I was in high school. I don’t think I need to see them again.
I know where I won’t be, since I don’t have a current passport & I’m not a fan of “Rammstein “ in the least, never have been. If you like them & want to go to Chicago, cool with me!
Why do the members of “Slipknot” wear masks? LANGUAGE!!!!!
Yes, my passport is expired, I’ll likely never have a license, I exercise 5 days a week for at least an hour & I’m 36 years old now & have to really watch what I eat. That’s fine with me, but I do worry about Kim she needs a break…………………….from everything!!!!!!
“Politicians” I don’t follow them. SURPRISE!!! Now the people that voted for the Federal election are complaining. You voted, I didn’t. Good for you!!!!! Less stress for me!
Hopefully good news for the Toronto Blue Jays although he won’t be expected to play until May. When he was injured & wasn’t coming back last year, he was leading all of the rookies in almost all categories. I want to know what’s going to happen with Ryan Goins? His defense is far to good to sit on the bench as a utility infielder.
I get anxious for the weekend as well. I get to spend more time with Kim, I always look forward to hanging out with her! Especially since she’s been working a bit of overtime the last couple of weeks. It’s dark when she leaves & dark when she comes home. I miss her being around. Brewster’s fun n’ all, but there isn’t a lot of back & forth in our conversations. It usually ends up with one of us rolling over for a belly rub………………….& it’s not always Brewster.
Today’s workout was brought to you by the new “Coheed & Cambria” album “The Color Before The Sun”
“……I want them both now…….”
Oh, Bieber….that’s a perfect world, I doubt that will happen anytime soon?
I was sure there was to be a full length album by ‘Stone Temple Pilots’ with Chester Bennington of ‘Linkin Park’ on lead vocals. Not just the 5 song EP they did? I guess I was wrong? It’s not on their website, Facebook page, or iTunes, my bad!
“3 Days Grace” didn’t really know they were still a band?
I have a hard time believing Scott Weiland, as much as Axl Rose. This I likely the only song I like by “Velvet Revolver”. 1980s rock/hair metal I just can’t get on board with? I have this on CD but it’s not on my computron. I listened to it a few times, learned to play & sing this tune. Then never listened to it again. All when it was first released in the summer of 2004 or so.
“I Mother Earth” single release on iTunes! Friday, November 13th Titled “Blossom”
Top 10 cheesiest one hit wonders of the 2000s AH, a walk through nightmare lane! A bunch of “Oh, snap I vaguely remember that”. Along with a LOT of “What? Who?”.
Pentatonix sing fan tweets
WHAT???? PHIL COLLINS IS REALLY GOOD. If you don’t like him that’s fine. Really a petition signed to “stop him from returning to music”?
Noel Gallagher gets what he wants or else he just starts rambling off bands or artists he hates in the most public & demeaning way possible. So, no ‘Oasis’ will not be reforming any time soon.
Ian Fletcher Thornley doin’ his thing, being AWESOME!! His solo album is now out! Acoustic guitar, banjo & I think I heard some mandolin on there. Great album to chill out too!
I’ve been watching “Red State” by Kevin Smith. Freaky, bleak movie, you wouldn’t expect that Kevin Smith has anything to do with it. Basically it’s a religious cult that kills what they think are sinners aka homosexuals & they’re OK with that? But how dare the county authorities kill members of the Church? Great movie, very vulgar & violent. Kim has it on her vito list so I can’t watch it hen she’s home. Fair enough I vitoed some of her movies. “Red State” is rated R so beware! I think the trailer is OK? I can’t believe there are still people like this out there!
Paul Stanley (KISS) address’ gay rumour. Why does he have to address his private life?
Call me what you want. I’m so sick of being bombarded by political verbal diarrhea. I don’t need to hear slimy politicians tell me what their opponent can’t do, or who’s voting for who? It’s your right to vote & that’s fine, remember it’s also my right not to vote.
I guess drummer, Matt Cameron, wasn’t busy enough with Soundgarden reuniting while continuing to handle the drum duties “haha I said duties” for Pearl Jam?
As a society. I think we now rely on technology more than we need to. What did people do before cell phones? My car just stopped on a grid road out to the cabin years ago, & it was late. I could have walked since I was close, but what would I have done if I was in the middle of nowhere? Sing “Queen”?
More Last Week Tonight with John Oliver LANGUAGE!!
Rock It Out Blog & I agree. I don’t ever expect everyone reading this to like the music I like. I just say what I like. When people go out of their way to bash ANY music act, it just seems like a waste of time & energy. Just say “Ah, no thanks” & move on.
Phil Collins biography next year……………….AWESOME!!!!!!!
Busy weekend here. Friday we attended a funeral of a distant family member. Saturday was my grandmother’s birthday party. I’ve been to a 2 year old’s birthday party & my grandmother’s birthday party, no I didn’t drink too much to cause any signs of a hangover either time but I’m tired after both! Sunday was Thanksgiving supper here with Kim’s family. I got to see a lot of people this weekend as well as eating WAY TOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finished off the weekend with a Blue Jays win, & supper at my parents house, meatballs with rice & a salad on the side. My grandparents were there along with my aunt from Airdrie
Songs I like, “Silverchair” Not a huge fan but I own 4 albums, that I rarely listen to, & in university we did play one of their songs in our cover band.
If you’re getting this on Facebook, please share it?
Today’s workout was brought to you by the letter “T”, as in Trivium on shuffle.
Kim & I are watching “Scandal” on Netflix. We Just finished season 3 Thursday night. Great show, one problem, writer/creator “Grey’s Anatomy” & “Private Practice” lady. She’s a hot writer at the moment but I swear she gets writers block every 10 minutes & “Ooo, now they have sex”. I like “Scandal”, but it is really getting old fast. That’s the exact reason I don’t watch “Grey’s Anatomy”. I liked “Private Practice” too, but I don’t miss it. All of these shows are getting old around every corner somebody’s having sex with someone, for no reason at all?
Gay marriage seems very similar to marijuana issues at the moment. They can do either legally or illegally? What would you want the police to be more concerned with? Pot smokers that want a bag of chips, same sex people living together? Or the guy down the street who will snap in a week & go on a shooting spree?
Blue Jays baseball Thursday night, they’re all but guaranteed a playoff spot if they go 5W-5L & the N.Y. Yankees go 8W-2L for the last 10 games of the regular season then the Jays are out & I highly doubt that will happen?
If this is true, when is this tasty nugget being released? All I see on iTunes are a bunch of “Slash” albums & EPs he’s sang on?
New Pentatonix video/song from their upcoming release on October 16th
Hollywood Vampire Rock in Rio with Lzzy Hale & Alice Cooper, performing “Whole Lotta Love” by Led Zeppelin. Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Jonny Depp both on guitar & Guns n’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan.
Really? The Pope plans to release a rock album, I think He may end up as the coolest Pope of my lifetime?
Today/Friday, September 25th Rock It Out Blog LANGUAGE!!!! When we were onstage, no matter what rock band I was a part of. Nobody swore on stage unless it was a cover song. We didn’t care who said what, it didn’t matter, freedom of speech, Mitch did once & just didn’t want to do that again.
John Lennon, Taylor Swift, Ryan Adams, Father John Misty, etc. ^^
Songs I like. “The Refreshments” They were never a big name act, I think they were in the 20s on the Much Music Video Count down for 2 weeks in the ’90s. Then they disappeared. I have one CD, I think “The Refreshments” on iTunes are a different group other than this album?
None of my 3 made the list. Pretty much all of these groups I don’t listen to because of the voices. I do own 2 Children of Bodom albums, but I only listen to one about once a year.
Here’s the 3 I was thinking of…
Puscifer album & single/video. Maybe Tool is cash poor? 9 years since the release of “10,000 Days”?! “Maynard, go make some money with Puscifer or A Perfect Circle before we forget the songs in our heads”! Song inside the link.

“Guitar Hero” is coming back with it’s first video game in 5 years. That game was my only reason for buying a PS2. I had the first 3 guitar hero games, a baseball game & God of War. Maybe a few others? That’s also the game that got me into ‘Lamb of God’. It also had an ‘In Flames’, ‘The Allman Brothers’, & “Free Bird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Great way to learn bad habits on a real guitar. http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/guitar-hero-returns-with-first-new-game-in-five-years-20150414
16 years ago “Burn the Priest” now known as ‘Lamb of God’ released their first self titled album ‘Burn the Priest’. I’m not a fan of that album in the least. They got better with each release after that up to the album “Sacrament” http://loudwire.com/lamb-of-god-burn-the-priest-debut-album-anniversary/
Foo Fighters want to get weird. Live show of the B-Sides recorded? Wait until it’s released then tour for that album? I think that’s different, as long as they don’t “doctor” the live album like “KISS” did?
Finger Eleven tour kick off. I think fans would at the very least would like a GOOD album. The last one was a tiny step up and the one before it I will never consider it as a F11 album.
My status update I did my work out at 11:00am 300 crunches, much better yoga, 20 push ups & some planking. Oh, & a “wrestle” with Brewster, my right arm against his entire body. I get him on his back & scratch his belly and I swear he looks like he’s having “….the happiest seizure of his life…” Sorry couldn’t find the one at the end of the movie?
Songs I like. “Dishwalla” I only own 2 of their CDs & that’s all. I’m pretty sure I got these on an 11 CDs for $0.01 from Columbia House or BMG? In the ’90s.
