We'll All Float On

still have trouble of thinking of Modest Mouse's "Float On" track as actually being Modest Mouse. I've got their albums prior to Good News for People Who Love Bad News and like them a lot, but the first time I heard the track it honestly sounds so much like The Pixies that I had hoped the near unthinkable had happened. Of course, the Pixies reforming fed into that. Too bad it wasn't. Still a great track, though.

There's Always Drinks and Dancing in the Rubble

I just thought I'd throw out a non-random plug for one of my favourite Canadian singer/songwriters in that a little better than a year after releasing his debut solo album, Avalanche, Matthew Good will be releasing a follow-up in White Light Rock & Roll Review. The album itself hits June 15th and there are a couple of samples from the album up at his site. To me at least, they sound pretty damn good. Honestly, they sound like Good's decided to "rock out" again with tracks more akin to his work in the Matthew Good Band or the Tragically Hip.

Come to think of it, actually, the Hip's new album, In Between Evolution also comes out in June on the 29th. A good month for Canadian rock fans.

All Quiet on the Not-so-Western Front

No, I'm not dead.
Although I can honestly say that I haven't bought a single comic or trade paperback collection in over a month now. I'm preparing for my "big move" and coming up with all sorts of ways to update the site all the while. Expect that when d-gen comes back, it's coming back bigger.

That is all.
