I seriously can’t wait for September. I knew BNL had a new album coming out (“Barenaked Ladies Are Me”), but I just found out that Maczde Carpate has a new one, too!!!

The MC mp3s I’ve heard so far are awesome. Believe it or not, I haven’t really heard any of the new BNL. I feel kinda bad about that; I’m usually really up-to-date with stuff like that, but most of the pre-release stuff is floating around now on iTunes, which I don’t use.
New albums also mean new tours! BNL hasn’t announced anything yet, but Maczde Carpate has a Québec tour!
Unfortunately, it ends about one week before QMJHL season starts, but I’m hoping they add some more dates so that their shows and the hockey schedule would overlap. Imagine that…flying internationally to watch a band that no one has ever heard of play in some dive bar, AND get to see some 17 year olds play hockey on the same trip. That’s about as awesome as it gets for me. lol.
Anyone wanna come up to the True North with me?
In other news, while I’m on the subject of travelling, here’s something I figured out:
Washington, DC to Philadelphia, PA
Cheapest bus roundtrip: $28.00
Most expensive bus roundtrip: $50.00
Cheapest train roundtrip: $80.00
Most expensive train roundtrip: $370.00
Typical flight: $354-803
Is there any wonder I take the bus?
(Take the bus home, not to see Maczde. I think my days of overnight international bus travel are behind me.)
