Walk Off The Earth, yes… that band, they play that song, all 5 of them on 1 guitar.

Disgustingly talented. Ridiculously creative.  Beard guy at the end.  Yeah that band.  Well, since they’re just down the road from us here at WLS we are taking an undeserved claim to them.

We’ll also make the unsubstantiated claim that they are big MLS supporters.  Primarily Toronto FC.

Our sole piece of evidence and entire basis of fact… Marshall rockin’ the TFC jersey in this island groovin’ cover of Sarah McLachlan’s Ice Cream.

If you haven’t already checked out their other videos, both covers and originals, you should continue to slack from what you are supposed to be doing and head on over to the YouTube and tube the hell out of WOTE!

Then go buy some of their music.

Also, check out friend to WLS, Karen Bliss’ interview with the band last week on MSN.

Fine… here’s that other video too.

Somebody That I Used To Know

So with the 2012 CONCACAF Women’s Tournament metaphorically right around the corner (unless you consider time literal, but that gets into some really heavy theoretical discussion which is so far from what we’re doing here… so I digress.).   That’s right, qualifying literally kicks off tomorrow (there will actually be a kick off, therefore… you get what i’m saying.), and we just figured why not get into the minds of one of those wonderful ladies and see what makes them tick off the field. It’s fantastic I tell ya!!
