Brad Shoemaker is a wonderful human being and this post has absolutely nothing to do with him. Well, it does a little bit, but we’ll deal with that at the end.

Brad Sucks is the name of a band. A one man band. The man? Brad Turcotte. A Canadian, I believe. Fuckineh. And, surprisingly enough, he does not suck. In fact, he is the opposite of suck. Let us qualify his lack of suck: if we rate his degree of Suck on a scale of 1 to 10, he ranks a solid “Fucking Awesome”.  He is the Mozart of chill rock. 

Brad Sucks makes music that is excellent on at least 3 specific levels:

- The 1st is that it is hella fun to listen to, musically. That is the obvious one.

-The 2nd, that you can listen to it without being distracted by it, i.e. it’s fucking perfect when you’re studying or grinding out an essay or the like and need good background shit. The importance of this kind of music cannot be stressed enough.

-The 3rd is that the lyrics are pretty darn good, and I usually don’t care at all about lyrics. Like, at ALL....That is possibly the worst way to state why a band is good that I have ever seen. God fucking dammit. Please ignore the above segment, and just listen to a song so hopefully you understand what I’m talking about. 

These songs are basically perfect for when you’re depressed, because they’re about being depressed without actually being depressing. A lot of them are pretty upbeat, in a weird sort of way. Anyways, I just thought I should share this with you fine people, because this guy fucking deserves the attention. I honestly am not quite sure what it is about his songs, but I never get tired of them, and they just get better every time I listen to them. They're just.... really, really good. I'm bad at explaining shit, I know, I'm sorry.

OH WAIT I FORGOT THE BEST PART: HIS MUSIC IS FREE. As in, $0.00 for like, 2 CD’s of Fucking Awesome. At least, it’s free if you want it to be. They’re all available for download on his website. I would ask that you pay for it if you can, if only to support this fine artist. Also, the more people buy it this way, the more likely other people are to start doing this kind of ‘copyleft’ stuff. Here’s another song for your listening pleasure, and thanks for reading. 

Oh yeah, the Brad Shoemaker thing. It’s nothing really, it’s just that Brad Sucks has a song called ‘Certain Death’, which is kind of funny in that it reminded me of ‘Pulling a Brad’. Except I think the song is about suicide, so it doesn’t quite work. Unless all these Quick Look deaths are actually cries for help…. This just got incredibly morbid, so I think I’ll just stop now.
