What Are Your Thoughts On Sushi?

Earlier this week, Jimmy Fallon (who I used to be legitimately in love with because what a cutie) had Blake on his show and makes him eat sushi for the first time. You can enjoy it here.

Since we're all busy people, I've done you a kindness and corralled my personal highlights for you below:
1) "The texture is... playdough." (1:52)
2)  Jimmy makes up the lyrics and melody of a song he thinks could be on Blake's new album. If I'm being honest, I wouldn't hate it if it was real song. (3:12)
3) Blake constantly yelling for "more raahhss waahn" (too many times to record... I suppose you'll just have to watch the whole video after all).

The First: Flying by Green River Ordinance

Full disclosure: we may be verging on folk with this one. The truth is, the song I actually wanted to feature is now on it's second week of not being shareable via the Youtube... so we're all making sacrifices here. The good news is that this song includes more GRO harmonies, which we already know they're good at. Plus it features a banjo, a fiddle, and barn dancing. So really they're just a truck short of being a full fledged country song.
(Just kidding... there's obviously a truck).


The Second: I'm So Over Getting Over You by Kira Isabella

Kind of girly and spiteful (but not in a TSwift kind of way, even though we all know I love Taylor anyway) and I weirdly like it? Good luck getting this one out of your head. #Sorrynotsorry.


The Third: Point of View by American Young

So this is acoustic and fun and cute and honest and has beautiful harmonies.

Harmonies really are my weakness because I personally have no ability to harmonize and I therefore admire all who can. I also admire all who can drive stick, for similar reasons. I've only ever tried once and it ended with me screaming for a solid slow-motion minute while I rolled - out of turn - through the main four-way stop in downtown Squamish at approximately 3 km/hr while literally the entire town watched (it was a Saturday in Squamish, trust me when I say everyone was there). Needless to say I pulled over immediately and told my mom that I was never attempting that again.


Enjoy your weekend, friends! Perhaps find someone who has never tried sushi and force them to eat some. Because why not?

Thanks for listening!

The weekend is just around the corner!

And that means it's time to celebrate! So we're just going to jump right in, a la Dallas Smith/Zac Brown Band. Okay? Cool.

The First: Wild At Heart by Gloriana

Man, oh man. Here's a good one if you're looking for a song to enjoy on repeat this weekend. This is old school Gloriana. You know, back when Gloriana was still four people. But then Kimball left. And apparently, as of last month, so did Reinhart. #awkotaco #whatwilltheboysdo?

This song takes me back to the summer of 2010 and getting up to ridiculous antics with one of my best friends, Claire. I think we thought we were approximately as cool as Miley Cyrus thought she was being in Party In The USA, which coincidentally was our other anthem of that summer. Don't be jealous. 

Hands down best part of this song? The frosted tips. (I think somebody was exchanging styling tips with Lance Bass... #awkotacotimestwo)


The Second: American Love Story by LANco

Slowing it down for just a little bit with this one. But between the twang and the way they switch up the rhythms in this song, I think it's well worth the slow down. Plus it's kind of a cute little story.

Please don't ask me what LANco stands for/means because I don't know.


The Third and Final: Red Fire Night by Green River Ordinance

A few weeks ago a friend suggested I take a listen to this song and ohmygoodness THOSE HARMONIES. Into them for surrre.

I will say, however, that a small part of my heart hurts every time I'm reminded that the bonfires of my childhood are no longer a thing that I am able to enjoy. As much as I totally get why it's important, I still greatly dislike the bonfire bans in Vancouver and Victoria. All I want is to sit on a log with my friends while I toast a marshmallow or two over an open flame. But instead I have to settle for roasting marshmallows on my stove and my friends think that's weird so they never join me.


I hope you all have a wonderful Family Day long weekend, if you happen to live in BC where the provincial government has decided that it was 2 cool 4 school to conform to most of the rest of the country on this holiday. Anyways, please enjoy some time with whoever you consider your famjam!

But remember: no bonfires, k? (Or at least not without extending the invite...)

Thanks for listening!
