Don't Smoke, Write

"I don’t smoke. I came across this great timesaver just a few weeks ago at my children’s school song and dance extravaganza (of course, I took my laptop… just in case). There were 20-to-30-minute periods when said kiddies weren’t extravaganzaing. Parents who smoked popped out for a cigarette break. 'Aha!' I thought – a perfect time to pop out for a write-a-blog-post break. I managed to draft a whole post in my two breaks and it’s so much healthier than smoking."

This Day Last Year, Being Erica, and superGARAGE.

I decided to look back at my archives of my main blog at Silent Cacophony to see what I wrote about on this day last year. This what I wrote,

As I watched the episode last night, a song played in the background. Shows do this a lot. Sometimes I recognize the song, sometimes I don’t. It usually doesn’t effect my enjoyment of the show. Last night though, the song they played totally took my mind off of the story.

I couldn’t believe what my ears were hearing. Could it be? I concentrated on the song in the background. Yes, it was. They were playing “Keep” by superGARAGE.

Well guess what. I watched Being Erica this week with my girlfriend and in one scene Leo was playing a superGARAGE song. It wasn't the same song either. I had already told my girlfriend about this great group but I forgot to put them on her mixtape. I will on the next tape, that's for sure. I pointed out, "Hey, that's superGARAGE."

It was an amazing episode of Being Erica last night. Check out my post about it here. I really like this show and can't say enough good things about it. The same goes for superGARAGE.

I first saw superGARAGE play in 1994 in Hamilton. They put on an amazing show and I was an immediate fan. I bought their cassette tape and a T-shirt. The following year, they put out the album on CD. Since then I have bought all of their albums and have seen them perform live countless times. They are an amazing band.

It was so cool to hear their songs playing on a radio in a scene of a television drama again. That's what I wanted to share with you today.

I hope you have a great weekend!

Blog Birthday

Silent Cacophony turns two today. Happy Birthday!

It’s almost hard to believe that it has been two years since I made my first post on my original blog.

Since then, a lot has happened. Please head over there to read a recap of my blogging journey so far.

I started Thoughtful Cacophony as a way to organize the vast collection of quotations I have been collecting over the past few years. I am enjoying running both blogs.

I want to thank everyone who has ever supported me or left a comment. I don’t think I would be doing this still without all of you.

And to the other readers who never leave a comment but continue to show up and read, Thanks.

Thanks to all the great blog writers who I have visited and commented on your blogs. Blogging has been a great experience that I plan to continue for quite some time.

Happy Birthday Silent Cacophony!
