What is up, ya'll!!

I'm updating to talk about Hot, Hot Heat. I have to say that some of their songs don't strike me as being memorable at all. Unfortunately for them, I had been listening to Morrissey before them so they were compared to him. Still Bandages remains my favorite! I love that song. It's so catchy. It's got to the lead singer's energy. He's crazy! And I love it. I suggest going to official website and viewing the Toronto 2003 version. It's the best. His dancing and belting out lyrics got me into loving this song. His insane energy reminds me of Justin Hawkins, but a little less with the nakedness.

And the video to Bandages is an ode to the Terry Gilliam movie Brazil. I really liked that they put that in there. Of course, being Canadians, they would be more open to Terry's flick than the American censors who chopped the movie into little, unrecognizeable bits. Still a good movie and I do own a copy of it. Not the copy, but a copy. I couldn't afford the uber version. I think the worse part is that I haven't even watched it since buying it. But I did view it many times when I was 16 and 17. It was recommended by good buddy, known as Tygerbug at the time. Oh the memories. I will have to recommend that he watch the video to Bandages next time I see his lurker self online. Stupid board isn't working otherwise I'd just post a link. Silly bandwidth.

dude, a bunch of my friends were talking recently about the Hot Hot Heat concert here that they went to a very long while ago, and now I'm interested. got any songs to send me? or one? if I like it enough I'll buy an album, don't worry. I've done that with a bunch of bands already.

ooh. thanks! checked out the website and listened to some stuff - they remind me a bit of the Strokes actually. I can see their live show being pretty cool.

hahah, thanks for the (rather indirect) rec. Fun stuff.

that is true.
I don't look at things properly.

anyway, it was also majorly influenced by people on my Stampede team, so I probably just mushed the two together anyway. feh, this is making my brain hurt. >.
