It was actually. I remember taping "I'll Be You" off the radio, sitting there all day waiting for it to come on. And now the whole album just gives me this nostalgic feeling.

I need to give some love to "Don't Tell A Soul". I know alot would disagree with me, but it is my favorite 'Mats album, hands down. From beginning to end I just adore this record. It just grabs me.

Pre-ordered the vinyl for this yesterday and got the mp3's via free download. Fantastic record!!

Yes, the season is almost here!!! Anyone see Cammalleri's meltdown on the Isle's new kid on Saturday? I wonder what kind of disciplinary action they will take. Niederreiter's hit could have been a little questionable, maybe blindside, but it did not look like a head shot. Even so, the spear to the neck and the slash to the ankle..... Yikes.

This is a great topic! Since spring I have started a much healthier routine. I bike 7 miles five to six days a week, and throw in a few good walks on the weekend too when I have time. I have also made huge changes to my eating habits. Much healthier choices are being made these days. Very little junk food in the house, and making more meals myself. I read somewhere once that preparing your own meals/cooking can be mentally therapeutic, so that's a bonus. I have also cut out coffee too. This was huge, but it has been beneficial. Less anxiety these days it seems. My reasons for being mo

My listening for doing yard work this afternoon. Winter is coming, my friends. Better get ready!

So lucky! I was thinking today as I was listening to this on a bike ride, "Wow, I would LOVE to see this band live!" Living in the middle of nowhere is not......fun. Perhaps I plan a serious road trip/flight next year? I need a vacation, and to see some great shows.

I have been obsessed with this show lately.

Pan Astral - Goodbye True Love Stars - Don't Be Afraid To Sing Bob Dylan - Make You Feel My Love Bob Dylan - One More Weekend Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - A Self-Made Man The Three O'Clock - Jet Fighter Sarah Harmer - Go To Sleep Cowboy Junkies - Blue Moon Revisited The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever Peter Bruntnell - K2 Matthew Sweet - Until You Break Asobi Seksu - Thursday

Heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. I lost my Dad two summers ago and music played a huge part in helping me through one of the worst times of my life. One song that always comforts me is "There Is A Light" by Great Lake Swimmers. Nothing but the most comforting vibes coming your way.......

Oh yes, the kitties are being spoiled, while being lazy as ever. They sleep in the exact same spot on the same couch, as if nothing has changed. The insurance paid for it all, and so far they have been great to deal with. The contractor doing the work, on the other hand.... The quality of work is good, but it took double the time they said it would. Oh well. Who cares now? I am home, and life can get back to normal again.

Andrew Bird closed his main set at the Winnipeg Folk Festival with a cover of "Oh Sister", and it was pretty fantastic!! Perhaps my fave Dylan cover of all time is Jeff Buckley's version of "I Shall Be Released". That one has got me through alot of dark moments.

Alright folks, almost two months later and I am all moved back in and settled in. Cats are happy, guitars are tuned, and music can be real loud again. Damn, it feels good to be home!!!

I always have a musical theme to long weekends, and this was an all 90's weekend. I am completely "re"-discovering R.E.M. What a great decade of music they had. "Drive" still gives me chills.......

Yeah, from their bedroom window they have a direct line of sight into my back entrance. Weird how that worked out. All I know is I am spoiling the HELL out of cats when I get back in the house, and I will probably flinch every time I flick a light switch or plug something in for a while.

This entire thread made me smile! So many great memories and music. I remember high school, blasting the Gin Blossoms in my Discman... Toad the Wet Sprocket, Lemonheads, Matthew Sweet, Crowded House are all bands I still love dearly. Great thread! My older brother, who introduced me to SO much great music back in those day, and I are taking a road trip this weekend. I should make an all-90's playlist for the drive perhaps.....

So a couple of weeks ago I am on my way home from work after evening shift, almost 2 am, and so pumped for the weekend! I turn down my street and see about 4 firetrucks and a few cop cars close to my house. I think "Ah shit, how am I going to get on my driveway now?" I get closer to my house and I think "Oh fuck they are close to my house, wonder what's up". I whip around the block to come from the other side, park my car and walk towards my house. And I think "Oh FUCK my house is on fire!" About 40 firefighters and cops and paramedics are running around my yard. All the doors are open,

Sincerely adoring this album right now.

This whole "pants hanging halfway off your ass, underwear visible to the entire world" fad has to die soon. Seriously kids. Pull up your pants!!
