Congrats Scott! I'm a little jealous - mine is still a few years away yet. I'm sure you had a very positive impact on your colleagues!

Hard to believe that Melechesh's Enki came out 10 years ago. Man this track kicks ass.

That's too bad but not overly surprised. I wanted to like it there but we had odd experiences.

Listen guys. He started it. We're hitting you back. The US abides by the USMCA that he signed as the 'best agreement ever made' and we drop ours.

"Lonely People With Power" is a return to Deafheaven's heavier sound after 2021's more shoegaze-oriented "Infinite Granite". This album balances those ferocious black metal elements with moments of melodic beauty. I've been listening non-stop.

Papa Roach's The Paramour Sessions has always been a guilty fave of mine. Not a huge fan of the band overall but this was also one of the best performances I've seen live.

Jacoby is a professional and knows how to work the crowd. Great rock 'n roll album. Mock me all you like.

the split with Calgary's Mortality Rate and Judiciary (last 3 tracks on this album) is exactly the kind of hardcore I love. Bracing and angry.

I just love these guys. The Men - Buyer Beware is a raucous return to form. Raw, urgent, and loud, it's a 34-minute sonic trip that proves these Brooklyn garage punks are still at the top of their game.

The Old Triangle is great. Close to the Barrington. The Henry House also, but farther down Barrington St.

Across the harbour at Evan's Fresh Seafoods near the Dartmouth ferry terminal are also fantastic.
