Ok, so Obama won and I packed up the blog. I’d decided, “ok, mission over.” I’ll just go lounge over there, take a breather and watch the world right itself.”
Yikes!!!….. stuff is still whack. That’s not proper English I know but i feel it conveys my point fairly concisely.
By the way, have you seen this yet?
OK, so what now?
So I’m gonna try figure out what path to take this wondering prose on, i was thinking same as before perhaps. A mixture of politics, film, random crap, and such n such. Maybe a rant or two, they were fun.
Film!!!
Friday I become a real man, as “Manarchy presents……THE EXPENDABLES!!!” Welcome to the jungleeeeeeeee………rahhhhhhhh
To those not in the know, it’s an action movie containing every action hero you can think of. It contains so much testosterone it has been banned by the Olympic Committee. Lance Armstrong considered watching it before the “Tour De France,” instead of…you know…that thing he never did ever “wink.” The trailer will confirm what I’ m saying.
Makes you want to punch someone, right? Speaking of which…..
MMA
Not much to say here, just well done Silva. You’ll get yours one day.
Music
Illscarlett came to Kelownaland and rocked the crowd of….20?
I was pretty peeved at lack of turnout. The bassist blamed it on their promotions dude. The show itself was awesome and the guys had a lot of fun onstage, also big-ups to the earlier bands, Nixie and Calgary bands Seventh Rain and Inner City Elegance. Nixie was an all girl electronica band from Kelowna. I was blown away by the show they put on. I had no idea Kelowna had some actual talent, Kevin Moore and friends aside 
. Their myspace is /nixiemix. Checkout “Awake.”
Seventh Rain were fun and Inner City Elegance knew how to party. They worked hard to get the crowd pumped and dancing. It probably helped their cause by this time most people were on their way to being wasted. I had a good laugh with their singer, in fact the whole band were stand-up fellas. Check their wicked song below.
Then finally Illscarlett came on and gave it their all. Good crowd banter, decent energy considering crowd size. The tunes were polished, but had a somewhat rawness at the same time. Maybe something to do with playing in Flashbacks. That place just takes everything 3 levels cheaper. I got chatting with those guys too. Apparently the lead singer Alex Norman’s mum is from Pembrokeshire, Wales.
Wicked guys too.
Funny story, I got a lot of attention from two blondes at the end of the night. I was a little bewildered why the only girls in the room were chatting to me when I realised my animated conversation with Alex above had led them to believe I was “with,” the band. Soon as I corrected them they left me quicker then rats off a sinking ship. My ego quickly deflated. Anyways, one of their best songs is below. Really these guys play an awesome mix of reggae, ska, punk and pop. They deserve way more radio play and attention.
Oh and the drummer added me on Facebook. I’m so cool.
That’s it for now folk, I’ll have a weekend up-date for you with a review of “THE EXPENDABLES.” ………….I need some raw meat.
