- When you’re excited to go visit your cousin downtown for a good night out, don’t be a fool and look at the parking signs quickly. Turns out that I ended up with a parking ticket because I parked BETWEEN two good parking spots. The sign on the left said good parking, the sign on the right said good parking, but I failed to see the arrows pointing away from the spot where I parked – right in the middle of them. Interesting to see that they have an early payment bonus – only $45! Wow, thanks Ottawa
- Tonight I get to see Adrianna who is the gracious soul who allowed me to stay with her in Dublin a few years. Adrianna is quite the character and cannot be described in words. She must be experienced in real-time.
- Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame is coming to Ottawa in June!!! He is recreating The Dark Side of the Moon. This will probably be the closest I ever get to seeing Pink Floyd live (but I have a feeling they will tour once again! I have faith!) so I know that Mike, Joe and I (although I haven’t confirmed with Joe) will be the first ones interested in hitting this up! Let me know if you’re interested!
- Nine Inch Nails have this amazing, AMAZING marketing campaign going on for their new album Year Zero. So far there have been phone numbers found on tour t-shirts to call in and hear clips of the album, USB keys left in bathrooms of the venues they play during their European tour which contain a track from the new album. Let’s take a look at the track in particular – A Violent Heart which has some crazy static at the end of the file which if you throw into a spectography software analyzer comes up with a picture of a hand! That is crazy stuff! Talk about listening to a song backwards to hear the Devil speaking! There are also websites popping up all around us giving us details of the apocalyptic future that Year Zero is trying to portray. All in all, I am pumped at this marketing technique. I think the USB Flash keys left in bathrooms give me the most goose bumps. Imagine just stumbling onto something that you think is nothing and it turns out to be a new song that you’ve never heard?
- This weekend will actually bring me out to see Winterlude. Should be a good time. Give me a ring if you feel like going out on Saturday to see the festivities.
- A new Pumpkins demo was leaked on Valentine’s Day which was amazing. It’s always good to hear some new songs from the band. This song was from their post-Adore era demos.
