What's Gotye?

It might sound like some sort of weird cheese, but let me reassure you... it is much better than that. The question is not, "what is Gotye?" It should actually be, "who is Gotye?"

Great covers are hard to come by

Cover songs are always worth a listen. Sometimes they are so good that most people mistake them for being the original recording. Take Johnny Cash's Hurt. It was a cover of a Nine Inch Nails original written by Trent Reznor.

More often than not a cover song is also very forgettable. If you are lucky enough, you find yourself a cover that simply does justice to the original piece.

The General

I have gotten away from sharing my musical musings with all of you (by all of you I am referring to the...three or so people who probably read this). 

What I've got here is a song that I discovered while still back in high school. An old high school friend of mine made me a random mix CD one day and included this track on it. It may have been my favourite song on that mix CD because I still listen to it and love it today!

Procrastination station and immune system conditioning coaches

Well folks, I am home.

Home from Hope. Safe in Kamloops. Warm and cozy in my nice little den.

As per the title, I am currently procrastinating from writing a short personal essay that is due tomorrow in class. I feel it reasonable that I procrastinate from doing this as I am actually banned from going to class tomorrow. And the next day. And possibly the day after that.

Archipelago's arch-nemesis

Eight student newspaper delegates. One national conference. One gross virus. This is my perspective of a weekend that truly had it all.
