Just got a call from RBC on “behalf” of The Royal Bank! WTF! A company masquerading as my bank “offering” (read selling) me a service to keep your money safe!
The gentleman started his shpeal by explaining identity theft is the everywhere and crooks are using peoples id to buy cars, houses electronics etc messing up your credit rating. “We offer a service that sends monthly reports so you you can keep an eye on your personal credit rating just in case my sin number, birth certificate etc… is stolen and used to get loads or store credit etc… I listened carefully and asked him how much this would cost me. He replied ” .. well sir after a 30 day free trial period if your not satisfied blah blah blah” I said “HOW MUCH WILL THIS COST ME?” he said “$17 a month.” $17 a month!!!!! I said “no thank you, you know who the real criminals are, you and all those corporations keeping people living in fear of EVERYTHING! You guys keep the masses so scared all the time that they willfully hand over their hard earned money every month to some unknown service that will tell me “Oh by the way here’s the report that shows you someone is messing up your credit”
No Thankyou!

Now im off to get my Flu shots, more car insurance, a gun, some antibactirial soap, buy more clothes, shoes, beer…. well i will get some beer, ooo and a big a s s gun just in case those comies invade!

Be strong people everything is not lost, despite what the mainstream media is telling you!

Watch these guys “The Love Police”

. THIS SATURDAY! November 13th IMU presents DANNY ECHO Video Release Party w/ SWEET THING, JEFF LAING & CUPLA @ The Shark Club, 180 West Georgia Street . Doors 9pm / $10 advance tickets available online @ http://www.imuproductions.com . $12 cover @ the door

SWEET THING – Toronto-based EMI recording artist Sweet Thing play infectious pop tunes charged with dueling guitars, foot stomping grooves, soulful harmonies and a healthy dose of hand claps. Opening for for Metric in Victoria on Nov 14th, their single “Change Of Season” is a hot-AC top 15 hit across Canada and was featured in the movie Morning Glory and throughout the hit Emma Stone movie Easy A. Combining influences ranging from classic rock (The Beatles, CCR) and indie power pop (Sloan, Ted Leo) to Motown soul (Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson), their self-titled debut was recorded in LA with producer Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliot Smith). “As soon as I heard Sweet Thing I thought, this is the sound and band that we’ve all been waiting for!” – George Stroumboulopoulos http://www.myspace.com/sweetthingmusic

DANNY ECHO reverberates with all that is melodic, all that is catchy and all that is rock and roll. Since their formation, the Vancouver music scene has embraced their incredible vibe, inspired by greats like the Rolling Stones, The Who, The Beatles and U2. They’ve taken their songwriting, recordings and live shows to the next level, with smoke machines, video projections, smoking guitars and fire extinguishers (?!!) enhancing the visual appeal of Danny Echo gigs. Working with producer Jeff Dawson (Daniel Powter, Kelly Rowland) and mixer Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Franz Ferdinand), their hook-filled tunes have been implanted in numerous media outlets including Cold Squad, MTV, MuchMusic, CBC and The Peak Performance Project, with even bigger things are just around the corner! http://www.dannyecho.com

JEFF LAING has had the honour of holding many musical titles, most notably that of classical vocal performer and pianist. In stepping away from his past, turning the corner and looking forward, he’s now embarking on combining his vast musical experiences and crafting his songwriting to capture the true essence of pop bliss. Helping him on the way are a company of musicians, artists and friends with a wealth of musical talent and imagination to fuel the live account of these tales. http://www.myspace.com/jefflaing

CUPLA – Bobby and Billy McAloney are twins: one plays guitar and one plays drums. They’ve had the same musical influences and have played together in the same bands. Now together again in Cupla, the real fun starts as they take their combined decades of experience and start to roll out the good stuff. It’s an old fashioned rock band with heart; a bit of Patti Smith, a bit of Lou Reed and a lot of work ethic that’s finally paid off. http://www.myspace.com/cupla
