Package Pt.2 Delivers
A review of the new record from Gustaf I’m so glad that a friend at a little watering hole and pizza joint in Seattle, called Big Mario’s, once uttered the question, “Have you heard of Gustaf? I think you’d like them”. I believe I responded with, “I don’t listen to a lot of Russian bands,…

A review of “Hate to Love: Nickelback ” a NETFLIX Documentary I just finished watching the NETFLIX documentary entitled “Hate to Love: Nickelback”, because, well, I felt I had to.
