Love - La Roux - Bulletproof 



One of the most remixed songs as of late, La Roux's Bulletproof on its own is a good song. The English duo of Elly Jackson and Ben Langmaid have put together a sound that has really capitalized on the electropop/synthpop movement, headed by a talented front-woman (ala The Gossip, The Noisettes, Lykki Li, Little Boots etc.) But while the original "Bulletproof" is good, I feel what other people have done with it have definitely taken it from good to great. That being said, there's like a million, and some are better than others, so here's the original and some of the remixes I've had on repeat.

HATE - Rogers Customer Service 



I'm sure everyone has a horror story about dealing with Rogers in one way or another, I know I have more than a few. I feel like every time I call them with a question about my cellphone, I'm talking to one of those people in Men In Black, the ones that aliens have chosen on live in. Just no grasp of reality, basic conversation skills, or able to help the customer in any way. Useless. I've been told to "foster more comments on posts", so feel free to express rage against Rogers or horror stories in the "comments".

  2. My roommate just had to fight a $710 Rogers Bill because they cut her "My 5" without telling her!! She won, but we are not impressed with Rogers!

  5. These fucking idiots.
    Don't get me started.

    1. They lack consistency in every fucking department they have.
    2. Who is Kevin and why is he being so strange?
    3. They owe me a million dollars and at least 48 hours of my life back.

    I love this.

  6. I've never been happier to get my feet stepped on and have beer accidentally spilled on me. I saw La Roux live at the el mocambo in Toronto this summer and they definitely know how to put on a show.
