Notes from Underground #14: Party Like It's '05

Today, I travel back in time a few decades and explore Canadian pop punk from the 80's to the 2010's, and attempt to momentarily forget about the current state of the world in 2025... Featuring TEENAGE HEAD, Chixdiggit, Simple Plan, Seaway, Gob, Treble Charger, Avril Lavigne, Sum 41, Alexisonfire, Billy Talent, Silverstein, Propagandhi, The Weakerthans, and more! Listen live in Ottawa on 93.1 CKCU FM, or on demand on ckcufm dot com! Background music taken from "Kicker in Tow" by Hangedup.
What we do here is go back...

Just enjoying time with Drake these days. Almost lost him near the end of Funding Drive. He's 88 in human years. Tough as nails, sweeter than cherry pie lol

Yup......God only made one Dancing Labrador. He does dance in the kitchen whenever I start dancing. Just not as often these days with his creaky joints lol

This Gob track will be in my head for days and I'm not very upset about it

Bahahaha! Drake sounds adorable! I woke up with back pain today so I completely understand how he feels..

Tribute special is a great idea. I make a point of once a year watching Martin Scorcese's movie of The Last Waltz "their final live show." One of the 2 best concert movies ever. Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" would be the other one. I also watch that every year as well. Not to be missed if you have never seen them

I'll check those out Neil! Thanks for the suggestions. And thanks for keeping me company...! Until next time...

Heck yeah! Glad you liked it! I enjoyed putting this one together. A trip down memory lane, as they (who?) say
