Bad Cop Blood Cop

"On November 3rd 2007, a decapitated head was found on the side of the road in a city just like yours. The bizarre crime baffled even top police investigators. What came next was even worse....."

The Most Random Last Words Ever

Get A Life Losers!

Get A Life Losers are a new band in Ottawa. They play weird punk/post-punk/no wave or whatever the hell you want to call it. Picture the Minutemen & Modern Lovers freaking out with James Chance and the Contortions but way louder and wilder.

Here's a video of them playing their song "Get Out Of Centretown" at a house at 60 James St.


Here's a quick interview with the guys in the band.

Get a life losers!?!? What's that supposed to mean?!

Chris: Hah, well, I mean, have you seen us? It's just one of those catchphrases that also kinda sounds like a sports team if you can imagine a team called The Losers who come from Getalife.

Tyler: I think it's meant to distract from our heavily suppressed and all encompassing fear of being disliked and unpopular. I hope my mom isn't reading this.

When I listened to the version of "Stay out of Centretown" that's on your myspace page it's almost a completely different song. Is that kind of "monkey business" typical of your songs?

Chris: I'm really flattered to hear someone listened to our songs on myspace, let alone compared them to our performance video, which they also watched! To answer your question, this monkey business is because we are secretly working on the songs each time we play them and we would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids.

Tyler: "Monkey Business" is a saying that was sadly absent from my childhood days. I think usually I'd get a "stop mucking around" or a "be quiet, Rosanne is on" which was sage advice, because we all learned from Rosanne's mistakes in the end.

If you had your say, who would ban from Centretown?

Matt: Anyone who’s planning, hosting, or otherwise holding a parade. Sure the kids like them, but kids will like anything you dangle in front of them. Besides, parades always wake us up way too early in the afternoon. The kids will understand when they get older. Hell, they’ll probably even thank us.

Chris: We are anti-parade?? I'd ban the crack lady who keeps stealing the oranges out of our citrus water can at Bridgehead. She doesn't stop.

Tyler:I'd ban my Aunt. She likes to throw gravel on the roads so that the kids that skate on her street will fall down. I think she keeps gravel in her house. In a barrel? Yeah, probably.

Distraction Poll: Irrational Homophobic Fears.

THE DISTRACTION took to the streets and found 100 homophobes and we asked them: "What is your biggest fear?" The results were fascinating and revealed some truly irrational fears.

36% said BUTT PIRATES

















24% said GAY VAMPIRES













22% said JIZ WIZARDS












The remaining 18% gave varying answers. The most baffling of them was "CUM-FU FIGHTING" which apparently involves dicks that are "as fast as lightning!"

Diefenbunker

During the Cold War, our government built Diefenbunker, an enormous 4 floor bunker in Carp, On that was built to withstand a near-miss from a nuclear explosion. It was built to shelter many of the most important federal civil servants and senior military officials.
