March 2 was the 10th anniversary of Hunter S. Thompson’s death and a picture of one of his quotes was making the rounds in Facebook. I found the subject matter rather timely! Many of us will find both the truth and the irony in what he had to say.

If I made (or kept) New Year resolutions, I might have resolved to pay more attention to Canadian issues, and less to America’s or the rest of the world.

I’m like the A-Team’s Hannibal Smith in that I too love it when a plan comes together and love it even more when it balloons into an epic tale of adventure, lust and romance. The romance part, of course, would be my endless fascination for the music of the bands (past, present and future) which came out of the musicians who comprised Notary Sojac, the band few knew and even fewer knew about.

Nadia Elkharadly: Children of Grunge

Posted in Opinion with tags DBAWIS, Don't Believe a Word I Say, grunge, mudhoney, Nadia Elkharadly, pearl jam, seattle on September 20, 2011 by segarini

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of seeing Mudhoney perform for the first time. In the subsequent review, I commented that “You’ll always love the music that you grew up with, the songs and bands that you discovered in your youth. “ It’s a notion that I kind of come back to time and time again. Being born in 1980, I began to notice the popular music around me in the early 1990s; the era of Grunge. And as I said in my review, I still love that music and those bands even today. As someone who is bombarded with new music, new artists and new bands on a fairly regular basis, it’s curious to me that I still love that genre 15 years later. And the music I love even now, likely bears more than a passing resemblance to the music that raised me.
