Go Oilers...!!!

The new album from the band Sound Team is freaking awesome....there is about 2 songs that I`m not really a fan of but its a Solid album for sure...Reminds me a little of Interpol so you can see why I`m addicted....I was hearing the name Sound Team everywhere in Blog land and then when I saw that my buddy Mike had it, I downloaded it and have been listening to it ever since...So thank you Sound Team and Mike for that....Now its time for some sad news...Neiles Life might be Neiles Lite for the next couple of days...Me and Patricia are going to be moving into our new place Downtown and I will probably dedicate a lot of my time in the next couple days to that...but I`ll try my best to update as much as I can...Please Please download these tracks from Sound Team...you won`t regret it (right click save as...you know the drill)...CN Sorry But I Removed The Songs :( Sound Team - Back In Town Sound Team - Born To Please Sound Team - Afterglow Years Sound Team - Shattered Glass

What About Damn Brian??

Well its happened again...Shit!!..Another T.V. show that I`m addicted to...This time the name of the show is What About Brian. You might have herd of this new show on ABC...It stars Barry Watson (Sorority Boys) as Brian who is a 30 somthing single guy who is trying to find love in Los Angeles with the help from his 6 friends. Who are all currently in relationships and spend their time trying to find love for Brian, while working on their own relationship issues. The thing I like about the show though is not that its from the same producers as Lost (although that got me watching the show). Its cause the show has funny moments as well as some serious moments. It also leaves ya wondering what is gonna happen next episode....I dunno I guess I can`t really explain it...you`ll have to watch it for yourself ...but trust me its worth it....Adam Green is the man I`ll leave ya with today...I never was a fan of his work in the past to be honest...but I find this album actually quite intriguing and the song "Drugs" is freaking hilarious!!...his voice takes a little to get used to but it was a hit in my Mp3 player today!...CN Adam Green - Drugs Adam Green - Nat King Cole Adam Green - Hollywood Bowl Adam Green - Party Line Adam Green - Cast A Shadow

Woah!! Look Who`s Comin To Town!!

Usually the thing that bothers me the most about living in London, Ont. Is the lack of bands that play here...Sure there are good shows to check out everyonce in awhile but for the most part artists usually skip over London and head right for Detroit or Toronto. I guess its a good thing because if I lived in one of these cities I`d be broke. It has gotten a little better now that the John Labatt Center has entered the picture, but now it seems that you have to sell a kidney or get up at 5am to get tix..Why am I bitching you ask?? I`m not...It just seems that there are a lot of concerts coming up right here in my hometown that I will possibly be attending, and I`m not used to that. Here`s a list of what`s coming up in London that I think is worth checking. Friday April 28 - PILATE @ Call The Office (Free Show Wsg CD Purchase) Wednesday May 10 - THE STROKES @ JLC Thursday May 11 - MONEEN wsg THE MELIGROVE BAND @ Call The Office $12.50 Saturday May 13 - BRIAN BYRNE (Ex Lead Singer Of I Mother Earth) @ Chapters Saturday May 13 - BLACK CROWS wsg MATT MAYS/EL TORPEDO @ JLC Monday May 15 - INXS @ JLC Thursday May 18 - THE STILLS wsg RAISING THE FAWN. $15 Saturday May 20 - JOEL PLASKETT EMERGENCY $12 Sunday May 28 - THE CULT @ JLC Tuesday June 13 - BRIGHT EYES @ Centennial Hall Saturday July 15 - YARDBIRDS @ London International Blues Festival Thursday - Saturday July 20-22 - EDDIE MONEY, PETER FRAMPTON, ALICE COOPER, QUIET RIOT @ Rock The Park Thursday - Friday July 20-21 - LOVERBOY, APRIL WINE, KIM MITCHELL, STYX @ Harris Park Lots of acts eh?? Yeah I thought so too (hence today`s post)....I`m really surprised that Brian Byrne is playing @ Chapters of all places!!..Now as for today`s music I`m gonna leave ya with some tracks from the new Goo Goo Dolls album...Yeah I know...I`m a closet Goo Goo Dolls fan. Usually I`m not really into bands that are over played on the radio but I have a good relationship with the Goo Goo Dolls (they put out albums and I listen). TRUE STORY: When the album Dizzy Up The Girl came out in Sept 1998, I skipped school and drove all the way to Toronto (2hr drive), got McDonalds and then came back. Just cause I wanted to hear the album...CN Goo Goo Dolls - Give A Little Bit *Supertramp Cover Goo Goo Dolls - Listen Goo Goo Dolls - Stay With You Goo Goo Dolls - Let Love In

The Alarms Go Off With The Sound Of Death Cab

Man I know I`m breaking some kinda blogger rule but I gotta do another post about Death Cab Today.....Now I reciently got an e-mail from a guy named Trevor who was at the last Death Cab Show that I was at too, and pointed me to a few audio files (go HERE to view files)...Most of them are ruined by the damn fire alarm that went off so I tried to grab the songs that wern`t effected by the noise...Now the files are all in Flac format so I transformed some of them into Mp3`s for your Easy listening enjoyment...Also I`ve been waiting to post some of the tracks from the new Crooked Teeth single....and now I have a chance...I`m gonna also throw in this old shot of me and my Aunt who wanted to contribute to the Blog..its also funny cause ALF is in the picture as well...so thanks for that...CN Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark (Live In Toronto) Death Cab For Cutie - Movie Script Ending (Live In Toronto) Death Cab For Cutie - We Laugh Indoors (Live In Toronto) Death Cab For Cutie - Marching Bands Of Manhattan (Live In Toronto) Death Cab For Cutie - Crooked Teeth Death Cab For Cutie - Talking Like Turnstiles

Celebrations Galore

We`ll now that the celebrations are over from the birthday weekend I can now get back to some serious blogging....and so we`ll start with a few pics from the weekend....Some play fighting I don`t know these two....... Look who showed up!! Paul! now I have to say a big thank you to everyone that came out to Kool`s...I don`t remember much but I remember it was a blast....except I got soaked all night....drinks spilling on me, and then the down pour of rain after the bar...also a big thanks to my better half for the birthday post and the BBQ for the new place..Speaking of new place I will be moving next Sun and if you need a workout and wanna help move some boxes and furnature let me know....Now I have some very enjoyable music for ya today...The new Zero 7 album was in constant rotation this weekend as I packed and I must say that the songs feat. Jose Gonzalez are awesome...I always wondered what his voice would sound like with a full band. Although its not really a full band (Zero 7 is a downtempo styled musical duo comprising of Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker from the United Kingdom) you still get a feel for what his voice sounds like with other instruments besides an acoustic guitar...enjoy the tracks..CN Zero 7 -Futures <--My Fav Zero 7 - Today Zero 7 - Throw It All Away Zero 7 - This Fine Social Scene Zero 7 - Seeing Things
