You know at the beginning of Propagandhi‘s song Dear Coaches Corner, how there’s that dialogue of a Hockey sportscaster talking about supporting the troops, etc.? Well that dude’s name is Don Cherry and he’s a commentator for Hockey Night In Canada, and here’s a video of the same Don Cherry participating in “the absurd war propaganda” that the band talks about in their song.

Kind of amusing.  Check it out here.

Dear Coaches Corner appears on the band’s last album, Supporting Caste, released last March.

SideOneDummy does these “videos of the day” and they’re usually pretty cool so I’m going to re-post them for all of you Dying Scenesters.

Yesterday’s video of the day is the first episode of the making of Fluent In Stroll by Big D And The Kids Table. Derek Davis checks his drums and begins tracking. Joe Gittleman (Producer) and Adam Taylor, Alex Hartman and Paul Q. Kolderie (Engineers) begin to get Camp Street studio in Cambridge Massachusetts ready for BIG D and the Kids Table. This is a great look at what goes into making a record.  Check it out here.
