Thank Paula for reminding me about this. Looks like these guys were even more sensitive to acid rain than most.

Canadian 80s rock reeducation program for Americans

For the most part, Eric and I are nostalgic about the same set of 80s songs. Occasionally, though, when we’re driving he bewilders me by changing the station on something that is so obviously an awesome classic. We’ve come to realize there is a single reason for the discrepancy: Canada.

This is modern “bbong-jjak” music, which I guess is retro now because it’s from the 90s. Wikipedia calls it “Techno-trot“. The best explanation I could find is from Fancy Mag:

Tracking Abbey
I was creeped out when Eric bought a GPS watch this week– I simply find tracking, and especially the sharing of gathered info with third parties, just plain disturbing. But I managed to find a fun use for the watch anyway: we strapped it to Abbey and mapped her off-leash route around the park. That might throw off the CIA or whoever else is aggregating GPS watch data…
Anyway, you can watch Abbey’s path in this video:
And view Abbey’s pace and speed statistics:
Stay tuned for a comparison with Sage later this week.

1. Bill O’Reilly Flips Out – Dance Remix
This is my all-time favourite thing on YouTube ever. I rewatch it every once in a while just to remind myself that the anger of politicos comes from within and all politics is spectacularly ridiculous. *Explicit.
