  1. permafaust: i bought a house a few months back, and though it's a massive step from renting, those initial items you need to buy sort of add up, but you buy them once. i don't want to be that "if i can do it, so can you" kind of guy, but i made it alright only a few weeks after getting my keys. now, money-wise, it feels no more expensive than renting (even though it is) but i own that shit .

     

    also, the hardware store (canadian tire in my case) will become your best friend.

     

    congrats on the purchase

  2. The deluxe edition of Tired of Tomorrow looks incredible. Couldn't pull the trigger with shipping costs and how feeble our Canadian dollar is right now. When I started buying records our dollar was on par, now I pay 35% (ish) more plus crazy high shipping. Really a bummer when an album this nice comes out.

     

    Also, somebody commented about how the new tracks drums reminded them on Dinosaur Jr... I was thinking the same thing. The entire song itself puts out that vibe for me. Couldn't be more impressed, initially, with what we were given (the song, teaser song, variants) at this time.

  3. I feel like even here in NS I don't hear much about Moncton bands, more about Sackville.

     

    There are/were some very good ones. Some of the ones I listed will play on and off - no real consistency. People seem to jump bands and start new ones often, plus there aren't many great venues. It feels old and overdone, if that makes sense.

     

    And I agree with the Sackville comment. I went to MtA for 4 years and felt the music scene tenfold more than Moncton, with a population like 70 times smaller.

     

    I have a number of friends that made the move to Halifax over the summer. Trying to keep up with some new stuff there.

  4. Nice thread!
