NHL Playoffs, South Park, Foreign Indie Rock and Abe Vigoda

It was awesome. You know what I am talking about. Not all of the Don Imus stuff, but the amazing NHL playoff games yesterday. It once again proves my point that hockey is awesome. I feel I have to show the world that. Back to the point, their where two games that saw overtime action. The first saw a double overtime affair. The best though saw the game hit four overtimes. You just can't beat that people. I suggest you all watch the rest of the games during these playoffs (I was going to demand you to but then it would sound like we were in a cult. I had to mention the cult because I saw it on a 'Strangers With Candy' episode today).

Also, I want to commend the guys behind 'South Park'. The episode that aired last night (D-Yikes!) was just great. It mainly parodied the movie '300'. That alone I thought was funny but Ms. Garrison becoming a lesbian was just amazing. I don't know where these guys think of some of these things but it is funny. Plus everyone using the 'day laborers' to do their work was pretty funny. It wasn't the best episode from this season, but it was good. Scissor me timbers! (I just had to.)

I also want to give one last highlight to Scottish rock band 'The Fratellis'. I got their album 'Costello Music' after hearing them perform in the one IPod commercial (the song was 'Flathead'). I didn't think I would keep it in my mp3 player long but it has remained there. The songs just seem to get stuck in my head. I think my favorite is 'Vince The Lovable Stoner'. It is a pretty dumb song but yet I am really into it. I have to say though, this rock from other countries seems to keep me more intersted than most of the new stuff that surfaces here in America (where we're awesome). Another band that got me interested was 'Mando Diao' out of Sweden. I am thinking the different sound just amazes me, or maybe most new music is crap in America. That is another argument though that I don't care to have because it is playoff hockey time! Abe Vigoda for life. (I will mention him in every post now.) Poor guy. Many people think he is dead.
