First and foremost, Happy New Year to one and all. I hope everyone had a relaxing and safe holiday season--I definitely did. I got to spend lots of time with family, some time with friends, do a little bit of skiing (weather permitting) and watch the Crimson Tide hold on for a victory in our bowl game.
Being back at work in sub-arctic temperatures was like enjoying a bucket of freezing water over the head in more ways than one. But, as Ringo Starr once said, "you know it don't come easy."
Next, can I wish a hearty congratulations to The Lionheart Brothers, a fantastic Norwegian band I've listened to for years, reviewed several times, and finally saw at the Slottsfjell Festival this summer. The group's album Dizzy Kiss has been nominated in the rock category for the Spellemann Prisen, the Norwegian Grammys. The album hasn't been released in North America, but TLB are touring the UK later this month and building some buzz.
If you've never seen or heard them, check out the video for their song "50 Souls and a Discobowl":
While we're on the subject of videos, enjoy one more while you're at it. My compadre RV is a sucka for MIA's "Paper Planes," so here's the equally dazzling follow-up, "Boyz." Sri Lanka meets Jamaica!
It is seriously cold here in the Great White North, although all signs point to a much warmer spell (50 F or so) next week, at least in the GTA.
Over and out!
