Just learning Doug Proulx aka Doug Donut, former drummer of Vancouver trash/punk legends Death Sentence passed away the other day. I hope he and Pete (who died of an OD back in '94) are jamming together again. youtu.be/POs65qYJrJE?... #punk #canadianpunk

You can tell a lot about the mood in a country from its current event comedy shows. Does this make it seem like Canada is about to come crawling back to Trump in a matter of weeks to sign a bad trade deal? youtu.be/WJ40g0KKQAM?...

I had a little idea this morning... a series of motivational (or demotivational) posters targeting the Canada - USA trade war.
A field of grapes, with a Canadian flag.  The text reads:

CHANGE
We were your best customer
Then you fucked us over
Now we buy grapes from Mexico and Chile

I missed the London, ON ComicCon this year being in Regina last weekend but Spawn #1 went and picked this up for me. Not something I would have bought for myself but some great tracks and beautiful purple vinyl. As a fan of all things Cyberpunk it puts a smile on my face. #vinyl #nowspinning.

I've been travelling, first was work and then personal, a quick visit with my Aunt in Regina, Saskatchewan for her 93rd birthday. While in town I stopped at 'Vintage Vinyl & Hemp Emporium' at 2335 11th Ave. Excellent selection and found this gem for a great price. #vinyl #nowspinning

I'm going with Mark Sandman, former singer and bassist for the band Morphine. He passed away in 1999, but top of mind for me today because they just announced that an album of recordings made prior to his death are being released as a new album before the end of this year.

Supposed to fly to Philly today for work but stuck in Detroit due to this air traffic control issue plaguing the East Coast. I did get the pleasure of crossing via the new Gordie Howe bridge. Hope to never give that Moroun crook another penny of my hard earned money.

Spotty rain and overcast today with a high of 18⁰C. I spent most of it driving into the city and back to drop Spawn #2 back at their apartment. Home for a new porch beer. Blackberry Vanilla Sour from Sons of Kent out of Chatham, ON. It would be tastier on a hot day but very refreshing. #BeerSky

When #Mackelmore shouted #FreePalestine at shows it got Billionaire Oligarch (and Epstein pal) Robert Kraft so upset he threatened to refuse the tour use of his Boston stadium. It would be a shame if thousands of fans decided to pick up the torch themselves on Sept 25th. #EdSheeran is a coward.
