The Hate Crosby Club

In order to be a card carrying member, you must abide by the following Hate Crosby Club Constitution:

• Any sense or sight of frustration seen with Sidney Crosby must be related to the #1 mantra of the Hate Crosby Club: "Crosby Cries!"
• Any hint of Crosby being cordial or well spoken should be excused as Crosby being "bland", "boring", or "well-trained."
• As a member of the Hate Crosby Club, you must automatically like Alexander Ovechkin. If a pro-Crosby idiot speaks to Ovie's repeat offender status or forced celebrations, the answer must always refer to Ovie's "passion."
• There are no better three syllables in the English language than "Cros-by Sucks." You must learn how to chant this, and you must practice at home with your kids. Breed the hate.
  
• When approached about Crosby's record of winning a Stanley Cup, the only acceptable response is: "Bettman fixed it so Crosby would win." (note: the board of directors of The Hate Crosby Club are busy at work figuring out an excuse to use for Crosby winning a Gold medal. We will update these rules as necessary and as soon as possible).
  
• Never forget your forefather: Mr. Ken Hitchcock. Despite currently being jobless, never forget that it was Ken Hitchcock who started the original Crosby Dives Campaign. He should be held in high esteem (despite being jobless), because we would not be here without him. Mr. Hitchcock likes to eat (despite being jobless), so any donations you can spare should be sent directly through the Hate Crosby Club. Also, a portion of your yearly dues will be dispersed directly to the Feed Ken Hitchcock Fund.
  

Lastly, and most importantly: while watching Crosby play, you may get confused. Resist the temptation of being mesmerized by skill or talent. Your mission, as is the mission of the Hate Crosby Club, is not to admire hockey skill. Your mission is to hate.

Getting my mind off Game 7...

"He who shits out magic may shine
for the good of a customs and calling

send him a fax
charge him no tax

Pop Zeus

He who gives love to angry children
kids on the skid with baggy trousers

He will come crashing

Japandroids - Art Czar 7"

Just got this here 7" last week, and from what I hear, it's already sold out. Lucky me. Limited to 2000 copies on sweet clear vinyl. FCKYA! B-side has a cover of a early 80's Steve Albini tune called "Racer-X". Supposedly, this is one of 5 7-inchers they'll be releasing this year...so heads up.

This is OTTAWA!!!!!

Our favourite time of year

Baseball Season Begins

EL CLASICO is HERE!!!

Both Barca and Real Madrid sit atop La Liga with 77 points. Fresh off his 4 goal performance in the Champions League, Lionel Messi will give our Beloved Barca the sweep and the inner track on another La Liga crown. Already ousted from the Champions League, all the $$$$ Madrid dished out last summer will be wasted. No Kaka for Real Madrid. No Ibra for Barca. There will be a Ray Hudson, though. 4:00 EST kickoff on GolTV (preceded by a 2 hour pregame show).



This is the true definition of EVERYTHING.

Speaking of KRS, I got a little geeky last week when Tobi Vail e-mailed to say my Thermals / Cribs Record Store Day split 7" order was going to be held until Record Store Day (April 17). In lieu of any disappointment, I couldn't help my inner dorky fan-boy enthusiasms..."the drummer from Bikini Kill just e-mailed me...fckya!!!"
