Oskee wee wee!

Awwww.
*cancels trip to Switzerland*

Oh how I’ve missed you, Nicole Krauss.

Well… maybe the family of that Koopa you remorselessly ran down while driving drunk.

I know you’re joking but that seriously sounds pretty fucking good. Throw in a 2-4 of Labatt 50 and that’s a perfect holiday.

In my family the bacon is draped over the bird at the start of cooking and it’s my favourite part of the whole meal

I think maybe the Tragically Hip rather than Blue Rodeo were the band who had cornered the market on Canadian stoner-bro soundtracks – so we already had a beloved rock band making laid-back, good-time music and weren’t in as dire need of a cure for all the grunge darkness.

I’d never heard that song until a couple of years ago and I have to say I didn’t hate it.

It seems so strange to me now that Friends and Hoobastank ever occupied the same space in time. Friends seems like such a ‘90s phenomenon to me and is intrinsically connected to high school/college, while that god damn Hoobastank song was on the radio all the time once I was working in an office.

I first heard that song when I was fourteen and in love with my friend’s older sister Christine, so I interpreted it as a charming love song about an older woman.

I actually threw Life of Pi across the room when I got to the ending, but the more I thought about it afterwards the more I appreciated it (and my reaction kind of affirmed its point). As someone who wasn’t brought up with religion and had never really understood how otherwise intelligent, reasonable people could

That was a good band.

I’m arbitrarily liking all of these comments containing references to Square One and Mmmmmmuffins.

I honestly only remembered the name of the show until I googled it and it all came flooding back. That hippo will haunt my nightmares

I got a New Zoo Revue notification for this?

The Dinosaur Jr and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien track on that album is the fucking best!

Zing!

Seriously. I saw them on the Black Ice tour and despite looking like Jean fucking Chretien now, Angus tore it the fuck up and ran around the stage like a shirtless madman for the entire set.

Fuck yeah, Sweet Apple! One of my favourite albums of the year, just some really fun, ass-kicking power pop.
