  • Nelly Furtado and Steve Nash


    So, while looking for an interview with Gwen Stefani that is supposedly on the Kiss FM 104.7 Arizona podcasts page, I ran across an interview with Nelly Furtado and Steve Nash. You might recall Ms. Furtado mentions Mr Nash in her single “Promiscuous”:
    Hey is that the truth or are you talking trash
    Is your game M.V.P. like Steve Nash
    Anyway, there are shoutouts to BC, Victoria, even Mount Doug and SMU. It’s a fun interview and neat to randomly stumble across a couple fellow islanders, especially given that I’m clean on the other end of the continent. 🙂 Listen here.
    On a side note, Nelly Furtado is currently featured on the front page of cbc.ca and just received five Juno award nominations.

  • The Dead Milkmen – Big Lizard


    Big lizard in my backyard
    Can’t afford to feed him anymore
    Big lizard in my backyard
    Bustin’ down my neighbour’s door
    I bought a big lizard
    Only a dollar fifty
    Well, that’s pretty neat
    Yeah it’s f*ckin’ nifty
    But I just can’t afford to feed it
    And you should see the way it sh*ts
    I’ve got a big lizard in my backyard
    Can’t afford to feed it anymore
    Big lizard in my backyard
    Bustin’ down my neighbour’s door
    I was knocked outta bed
    Late last night
    I was woken up by the sound of dynamite
    I ran downstairs to find an army man
    He said “We gotta blow up those things we don’t understand!”
    There’s no more big lizard in my backyard
    I won’t have to feed him anymore
    No more lizard in my backyard
    They shipped his ass to El Salvador!
    iTunes Music Store
    I bought the album for Bitchin’ Camaro, but there’s all sorts of gems on it.
