Another playlist, just because.

[commodorified]

I made this for kd5mdk, who despite living in Austin, TX, is a serious hockey fan.

When he was up here visiting we tried and failed to make it to women's hockey and to a Marlies game, so eventually went to see the Soo Greyhounds at the Niagara Ice Dogs (OHL), which turned out to be a great decision as it was a HOPPING game - the final score was 8-6 Niagara and we had the excellent luck to be seated just in front of Geezer Row, from which we got high quality colour commentary.

Originally I left off some stuff that would normally have gone on because I knew he already had it, so this is a modified version of the original playlist. I'm quite proud of the cover art :-)

You have great taste in music. *g*

I love seeing all these Captain Tractor songs especially. Edmonton represent!

Thank you! This might even distract me from the Bruins and their horribleness. (Chiarelli: what a doofus.)

[dine]

I had forgotten the brilliance of the line "his heart made a noise like a truck you forgot to plug in."

I always wonder if it was gas or diesel, and a one-tonne or a five-tonne or what.

I've always thought of Helmethead as the musical hockey version of the movie Bull Durham.

Wow. I used to work at my community radio station in the 90s. I remember hearing so many of these and the songs on your other track list.

[aella_irene]

Oh, I love this. Especially the songs about hockey love affairs. (I already knew Like A Frozen Puck To The Head, but nearly died on discovering Helmethead.)
