On this day in 1987, Blue Rodeo released its debut studio album Outskirts. The album included Try, which hit #1 in Canada. The album went 4x platinum in Canada and peaked at #20. The album won three Junos including Best Group and Single of the Year.

Hearing Hole’s “Malibu” in Savers/Valu Village seems so weird. Definitely too mainstream haha. #indierock #Grunge

lol…

Wow…

Your 30s are when you truly blossom into a horny little pervert

Hockey 🏒🥅🏒

Who knew being in a relationship could feel so lonely?

So annoyed with today.

@Kev_Bayliss @David_Wise @drdoak Would be, as Grant says, “MEGA”! 🤘🏻 hope to see it sometime whenever you fellas have the spare / free time! Lots of great documentation for it & helpful community, too! 🎮

@0sttttt Maybe one day! If I can find spare time with @David_Wise & @drdoak - I think we could come up with sobering between us 😉

Very proud to have worked on some of these beauties. The company was formed by two guys with a vision, but it grew to such success with the help of many more people! It was a fab team at Rare, whatever job we did - Admin, Groundstaff, Security, Developer, Dog. 💪😃🥲 - and I’m sure it still is today.

BUMP for our N64 HOMEBREW video! There are some absolute gems here you can play today. Enjoy. youtu.be/_yFPb5NH0Gc

Way back in 1996, I was working on Diddy Kong Racing. Probably the most fun I've had in my entire life! One of the most fun parts was creating animation sequences using the custom made software by Rob Harrison who was one of the lead programmers on the team. After I gave him a list of features I needed it to have, Robert created a great editor based on a simplified timeline editor similar to what I had previously used in Alias Poweranimator. Characters, objects and cameras would follow paths that I could draw to create motion, and along those paths I could place 'trigger' events which were usually icons that looked like a musical note or a special effect. So for instance, during the start sequence when Diddy Kong flies around the famous 'N64' logo high up in the clouds, Diddy Followed a path and as he hit triggers along the way, special sound effects were triggered and twinkle star particles were emitted. The sky background was simply a spinning cylinder with a basic blue sky texture on it. However, although it sounds simple, scenes soon became very complicated, and this WIZPIG end sequence after defeating him for the first time was a lot to handle. I made the characters follow paths which ran all over the place triggering sound effects as they ran away from the evil boss! I had so much fun creating sequences, and doing WIZPIG's VOICE! But none of this would have been possible without the great work from Rob to give me a great tool to animate those sequences which really brought the game to life! All of the team worked their asses off in a red hot barn during that summer, but we loved every minute - and it shows in the game! I remember Chris Stamper being really impressed with the speed we were putting this kind of thing together thanks to the way we were communicating with each other as a team. But with this particular sequence he wasn't happy when he saw I was building a lighthouse. I remember him asking why I was wasting memory on graphics because it was in short supply - and everything should be built for a reason. (And quite rightly so) However, little did he know it would become a rocket ship for Wizpig to launch into space with, and ride around the space racetrack, but he soon found out! Lee Schuneman did a great job bringing the team together and getting them to trust in his vision of a racing game with an 'adventure' element. The amazing front end by Johnni Christiensen set it apart from many other games with it's bold use of colour and great cartoony style And that music you hear is by non other than my best pal David Wise! What a game! What a time we had! We all worked so hard - And some of the team now even work with me at Playtonic Games!

Is there a Pavement archive anywhere of all their live gigs, interviews, etc. ? 🎶🎸 #indierock #Pavement

@CraigBaird Does this mean the Scorsese doc he filmed with almost all (?) the whole cast of SCTV will finally be available for viewing (filmed in 2018 in Toronto!) ?

WHAT!?!

So cold. Outside.

@SurfThrash There are 2 other versions of this song, that Cobain recorded, that were later released on MOH: THR (DLX). It is also thought that YKYR home recording dates to sometime, alongside the actual composition / writing of DRM, to sometime in 1993. @livenirvana

According to YT comments this was Kurt’s final recorded song in 1994 From Nirvana’s “Sliver: The Best of the Box.” (2005) Song: Do Re Mi - Home Demo youtu.be/NSLH9nhvKLw?si…

Hearing pavement in savers / value village is so weird lol. Maybe I’m too old or they’re too mainstream now 🤷🏻‍♂️🎶👴🏻
