I, Musical Genius: Enlist the Cat in the Impending Class War
http://imusicalgenius.blogspot.com/2015/08/enlist-cat-in-impending-class-war.html
I, Musical Genius. Monday, August 3, 2015. Enlist the Cat in the Impending Class War. With all of the praise that Left and Leaving. By The Weakerthans gets and how much I listen to Reconstruction Site. I often forget how good all of their records are and specifically how special their debut Fallow. Really is. It's a lot punkier than the efforts that followed it and has a sense of youthfulness that isn't really present on their later stuff. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Grow Up, I Really Do.

I, Musical Genius: You're Too Loud!
http://imusicalgenius.blogspot.com/2015/05/youre-too-loud.html
I, Musical Genius. Friday, May 29, 2015. It seems like every summer I get into a "corny" or "bad" pop-rock band from the 80's. Like in 2012 when I got heavy into The Outfield. I wish I could think of more recent examples, but rest assured that I really love a whole bunch of power-pop from the 80's and am often judged for it. This summer, that band is Huey Lewis and the News. I've had a copy of Fore! For(e) a while, but it was mainly just something that I would throw on while playing MLB The Show. 1 Huey ...

I, Musical Genius: January 2015
http://imusicalgenius.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
I, Musical Genius. Friday, January 30, 2015. It's late January. There are many reasons why this is my least favourite time of year. It's cold. Snow is everywhere and that snow is wet. Being cold and wet at the same time is not so fun, in my opinion. You know what you can'd do while it's cold and wet and snowy outside? Skateboard. I go crazy when I can't skateboard. I would like to hang out outside in the sun with my girlfriend, but that is impossible. Why are you ruining my dates winter? This was easily ...

I, Musical Genius: If That's What They Call Normal, Then I'd Rather be Insane
http://imusicalgenius.blogspot.com/2015/05/if-thats-what-they-call-normal-then-id.html
I, Musical Genius. Sunday, May 31, 2015. If That's What They Call Normal, Then I'd Rather be Insane. The thing that I am ripped on for most, by an extremely wide margin, is my love for ska music. This was huge because it expanded my understanding of the genre extremely rapidly. You have a much deeper appreciation for ska music when you understand the nearly 40 year history that preceded kids from California wearing Hawaiian shirts and fedoras. You think I don't know that Reel Big Fish ruined this shit?

I, Musical Genius: Reasons to Love the 2015 Toronto Blue Jays #2
http://imusicalgenius.blogspot.com/2015/07/reasons-to-love-2015-toronto-blue-jays-2.html
I, Musical Genius. Monday, July 13, 2015. Reasons to Love the 2015 Toronto Blue Jays #2. Your starting centerfielder, Kevin Goddamn Pillar. Diatribes aside, it has been a very up-and-down first half and Kevin Pillar has been instrumental in the "up" parts. He was drafted by the Blue Jays in 2011 amateur draft with the 18th pick in the 32nd round. That means that 978 players were picked before him. 978! He was passed over 978 times. He was passed over 31 times by the Jays alone! Wrote an interesting piece.

I, Musical Genius: I Wanna See Everything
http://imusicalgenius.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-wanna-see-everything.html
I, Musical Genius. Tuesday, July 7, 2015. I Wanna See Everything. So there are some things and some ideas that are exclusive to the notebook. In general, these are more private and confessional things, which made me think "Why are those exclusive to the notebook? I guess an easy answer would be that I am too scared to put my innermost thoughts on this blog. I mean, everybody has somethings that they keep to themselves, right? Isn't that why Tropic of Cancer. And On the Road. Would anyone even care? Why h...

I, Musical Genius: I Get Your Words Stuck In My Head
http://imusicalgenius.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-get-your-words-stuck-in-my-head.html
I, Musical Genius. Sunday, May 17, 2015. I Get Your Words Stuck In My Head. I find it pretty easy to get wrapped up in useless stuff while I live on my own. I definitely go off into my own little world and focus on my own specific interests, rather than the sort of communal ones that you kind of adopt while living with the same people for a long period of time. I know that there is nothing wrong with this. Should I like the things I like? Is what I like COOL? I was listening to Wide Awake Bored. It's har...

I, Musical Genius: And Rage Against Machines.
http://imusicalgenius.blogspot.com/2015/08/and-rage-against-machines.html
I, Musical Genius. Saturday, August 1, 2015. And Rage Against Machines. I suppose that I should probably do some good ol' Blue Jays blogging, considering all the stuff that happened this week (Tulo and Price, oh my! But I will save that for later because of what is on my mind right now. With all this in mind, I think that this article about "You Get What You Give" by the New Radicals. As an accompaniment to the above article, here are the lyrics. I've been listening to a bunch lately! I'm never going to ...

I, Musical Genius: March 2015
http://imusicalgenius.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
I, Musical Genius. Monday, March 23, 2015. I'LL BE YOUR DAD. I feel like this blog is going to come off as jaded and negative, but rest assured that I don't intend that at all. I say this because last night I saw my friends Shopping Cart. Tuesday, March 3, 2015. A Title in which I would write out all of Mike McGill's "I wonked this, I twerked that" dialogue from Animal Chin if I could remember it. Sean Bonnette- Skateboarding's Greatest Hits. That's why I think this EP (I guess? Is so awesome. I'm se...

I, Musical Genius. Monday, July 6, 2015. Reasons to Love the 2015 Toronto Blue Jays: #1. Since " The Trade. No Did that mark a transition in terms of the team's roster, philosophy and image? You could argue that the foundations of this were laid much earlier in 2009 when then-new General Manager Alex Anthopoulos began the team's rebuilding phase by trading Roy Halladay for prospects, but I'm not here to give you a history of Blue Jays player transactions, I'm here to talk about the team right now. But th...
