well, here it is.

the last cardiacs album?

this is like a write your own fantasy cardiacs album, where a collection of hardcore cardiacs fans got to finish the demos left by the late tim smith, who almost unbelievably died of two successive cardiac arrests, after having spent a long period of time in a severely diminished state.

as it's a cardiacs album completed by cardiacs fans, it is in some ways an over the top parody of what cardiacs were, inverted into what tim left for completion.

take it for what it is.

but i suspect they had so much fun, they might do it some more.

call william d drake.

i'm from ottawa. paul calandra is an utter, complete moron.

they should be making stricter rules around seniors driving, not stricter rules on parking, but the minister is an idiot.

the driver was 70 years old. 

you should require bimonthly health exams to maintain your license after the age of 65.

when coffee prices go back down, i'm going to keep buying espresso and use it in the single serve. i just have to make it correctly, which is to put boiling water in the machine 

that espressso-coffee worked so well that i didn't fall asleep until 9:00 am. that's two scoops of espresso in the black and decker single serve, with boiling coffee in the machine, and chocolate soy to mocha latte it up. yikes.

i also opened up the hole in the reusable filter a tad so that it flows faster, which makes sense for espresso.

i'll keep making normal coffee in the larger maker and keep the single serve just for espresso. 

that's what this thing is engineered to do, the engineers just didn't realize it. real coffee just makes a mess, but the espresso with boiling water works flawlessly and creates an extremely potent cup, but is probably better for 10 am than 10 pm.
