A Crock of Schmidt

Single-handedly solving nothing

My Live Is A Song #113

October 29, 2021 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

When I’m tasked with preparing a more complex meal for supper, I sometimes enjoy a podcast rather than music. They’re a great way to busy my brain while I’m chopping and stirring. Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History is a favourite, though sadly lacking in episode volume the last few seasons. Another I like is Alan Cross’ […]

My Life is a Song #111

electric guitar and amp

In 2018, we witnessed the marketing of a Japanese, luxury, crossover vehicle with a Motorhead cover of The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil.” If that’s not jumping the shark on selling out, I don’t know what is. They might as well have painted that Acura RDX like the General Lee. And yet, it didn’t […]

What If The Dukes of Hazzard Had Been A CBC Show?

December 12, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

Imagine, for a moment, an alternate universe where Canada is the dominant entertainment production force on the planet rather than the United States of America.  Everything about the two countries is exactly as it is now the only exception is that Hollywood is in Vancouver and the major television networks dominating North American television since […]

The Best Breakfast Cereals of All Time

August 30, 2016 by acrockofschmidt 2 Comments

bowl of fruity pebbles cereal

A grotesque injustice has befallen the breakfast cereal industry and it’s been perpetrated by the very makers of this beloved morning staple all in a wholly ill-advised and utterly stupid attempt to cater to the nouveau health-conscious. I recently purchased a package of Alpha-bits, something I hadn’t done in quite some time.  Alpha-bits is an […]

My Life Is A Song #68

August 5, 2016 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

If I continue with this music series until I die and that moment of death occurs at a respectable long life age like say 87, I doubt I’ll ever mention a song quite as odd or obscure as this one.  You most definitely won’t hear it on the radio.  The fact I even know about […]

My Life Is A Song #66

July 22, 2016 by acrockofschmidt Leave a Comment

Pink Floyd is an incredible band.  They have created some of the most phenomenal rock music in all of history.  The Wall is arguably the greatest rock opera of all time.  However, if you were like me and raised on top 40 radio a few decades ago (or even Classic Rock radio more recently) your […]
