Tales of Interest, Tuesday Edition... its business, its business time


  • As always I like to pass on links that I think are particularly hilarious... this one is: Hot Chicks with Douchebags. Its exactly what it sounds like, with commentary.
  • As you may, or may not be able to tell, I've been watching Flight of the Conchords lately. A couple of friends recommended it a while ago and I never got really into it. After Kyle threatened to use FotC quotes for all his posts I gave it a second chance, and, its pretty funny. I think its more funny since Liz has been singing "We like to rock the party" and "Its business time" around the house... I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been too... There's a self-titled FotCs album out on Subpop later this year...

  • I always love a good mash-up, and I've been a big fan the Hood Internet... for a while. It was pretty awesome when I found out the other day that they have a couple of mixtapes (in dot zip form) on their website. My favs:
[mp3] The Hood Internet - Im a Flirt/Shoreline (R. Kelly vs. BSS)
[mp3] The Hood Internet - Rock Yo Sea Legs (Crime Mob vs. the Shins)
  • via Ohbijou's myspace there was a really nice Globe and Mail article written on the band's residency in the Banff (Alta) Centre's Indie Band Residency. The article explains that the band's first album - Swift Feet for Troubling Time (my number 8 of 2007, it easily could've been higher) - was haphazardly produced, I'm anxious to see what they can do given that they have some studio time. So, they're saying a fall release for a new album... very exciting. And, they are, in my humble opinion, the most under appreciated band in Canadian music right now.

Good news: Becca knew the first guy that came up on the douchebags with hot chicks site.
