Song Of The Day: September 01, 2015 - "My Mind Is A Shark" Blimp Rock
Usually when I write these song of the day blurbs, I put a little something about how I feel about the song. Maybe pull a quote from the press release. Tell you why I think you should listen.
But the email I got from Blimp Rock (whose album Sophmore Slump has been one of my favourites of the year so far) is so awesome, I am just going to copy and paste it for you.
As both a marketing team and band we frequently get overwhelmed. This is where the inspiration for our latest song came from.
Animated by Parker Bryant, My Mind Is A Shark is a tribute to those of us who have busy brains. Whether your head is filled with to do-list items, social media statuses or blimp specifications, it's safe to say there are no shortage of ways for things to get crowded in the ole' noggin. Blimp Rock invites you to add another thing to the pile while hoping that it somehow helps lighten the load.
Our focus on funding our $700k festival on a blimp floating over Lake Ontario has come up short. We're still pushing forward planning on reaching our goal by releasing albums, touring as a relatively unheard of Southern Ontario rock band, and selling vintage office supplies such as rolodexes, fax machines and floppy discs.

BLIMP ROCK
There is nothing about this band I don't love. Their songs are ridiculously clever and catchy (as you can hear below), and I want nothing more than to buy vintage office supplies from them in order to fund Blimp Rock Live, their music festival that will take place on a blimp over Lake Ontario.
Failing that, I just want them to bring their live show (and powerpoint presentations) to Vancouver.
