June already!?! Holy moly…they say it is going to be a hot and dry one in the Pacific Northwest this year…but today it is grey and raining in Vancouver. It is a nice respite, we had the driest May I think in the history of the city. They are already talking water restrictions, and that is a talk they don’t have often in this part of the world this early in the summer.
New music, let’s go!
LA punk rockers FIDLAR will release their second album, Too, on September 4th (Mom + Pop Records).
The FIDLAR music video pays tribute to all those great music videos of our youth… 90s and early 00s jammers.
“In the late 90s and early 2000s, music videos were such a huge deal,” adds Zac Carper (vocals and guitar). “We decided that instead of making one overly slick music video, we would nod to 15 of our favorite music videos that we grew up with. Everyone in the band threw in their ideas.”
Here is a list of the videos that you’ll see redone by FIDLAR:
Sugar Ray – Fly
Suicidal Tendencies – Institutionalized
Missy Elliott – The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)
Devo – Jocko Homo
Weezer – Undone — The Sweater Song
Eminem – The Real Slim Shady
The Beastie Boys – (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)
Jamiroquai – Virtual Insanity
The Hives – Walk Idiot Walk
Oasis – Wonderwall
Soundgarden – Black Hole Sun
Korn – Freak On A Leash
Britney Spears – …Baby One More Time
George Michael – Faith
Green Day – Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
I had a chance to see FIDLAR years ago opening for The Hives in Victoria. An amazing night and huge set. I became a fan. I bought a couple eps after including this 7-inch.

Last weekend, we hit the hat store (I needed, NEEDED, a new Mariners hat) and we saw these adorable kids NBA hats. They had all the major teams (but no Golden State? c’mon!). Then I spotted this beauty Vancouver Grizzlies hat and the choice was clear. $33 later and I think the little duder look alright.
Go with yourself.
