  4. And they'll be on CBC Radio once again: Fuse…Apostle of Hustle mixes indie rock with dense, Cuban rhythms. Tanya Tagaq mixes it up with only her voice, combining Inuit throat singing with breathy sighs. Together, Tanya and Apostle of Hustle create a new kind of North-meets-South sound, where rhythm rules and cultures fuse. Very cool. Fuse is heard Saturdays at 3 p.m. on CBC Radio One, Sundays at 5 p.m. on CBC Radio 2.

  6. Sorry. Looks like it isn't good on the main link to the page either. Here's the one I found that works (and I fixed it in the post too) http://www.dinosaurgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/the-ecc-dont-miss-the-great-snatch.mp3 So, don't miss that snatch....
  7. Ha! Made you look. You gotta get ready. The Great Snatch is a comin'! Let Lord Jesus into thy heart and ye will be collected in the Great Snatch to live in heaven for eternity .....
  8. Thanks Booche! I love it. I'll pass that around here at work
  9. This is wayyyyy too funny: http://www.dinosaurgardens.com/categories/audio/religious/ Don’t Miss The Great Snatch For those that aren’t familiar with my band, The Evolution Control Committee has been doing sample-heavy, cut-n-paste music for a long, long time (in our 20th year!). It’s somewhere between pop and experimental; funkier than Negativland, but smarter than Coldcut. So in collecting sample material for The ECC (and a little similar to Coldcut’s label name, Ninja Tune) I am a black belt crate digger. To gather samples and raw materials to mash into The ECC’s music, I have frequented dusty record shops, thrift stores, and flea markets worldwide, scouring the endless bins of vinyl… sweet vinyl. And you, the discerning reader and listener of Dinosaur Gardens, are now the beneficiaries of some of the best nuggets of this black gold. In fact, there’s a category in my record collection which holds the best of the best. It is appropriately labelled “Cream of the Crap.†This is one of those records. Cover Artwork (small) The story begins in Columbus Ohio, where I used to live. The thrifting was grand, and I had the thrift paths well-beaten. One particular fave destination was a thrift store very far out, a bit of a drive but often well worth it. I remember this was near the tail end of the thrift era; even in Ohio — especially in Ohio — the thrifts were quickly depleted of joyous booty as eBay blew up. In Ohio, as in much of the bible belt and truly in thrift stores in general, religious records are almost literally a dime a dozen. There are so many albums of sermons, of gospel singers, of televangelists, and of Christian kids’ records (in my collection, that category is “Opiates for the Lassesâ€). Many are forgettable. Some are just good for the cover. Some are kinda fun and/or funny. Some are a scream. And some are all of the above. I can visualize the moment — flipping through the awkwardly-shelved records, the usual cruft of Herb Alpert, Frampton Comes Alive, Ray Coniff… and then, this headline pops up: DON’T MISS THE GREAT SNATCH. I froze, stunned. In the crate-digging mindset, one gets a lot of practice summing up records quickly, initially based off the cover artwork and title. But this didn’t match: “Snatch†in the title? Adult comedy, probably. But the primitive, amateur artwork didn’t match. Flipping the record over deepened the mystery: There was the Elder Marshall Taylor, bible in one hand looking skyward. er… huh? I’ll skip right to the punchline: “Snatchâ€, in this case, is the rapture. Still, I had to wonder if anyone told Elder Taylor “snatch†has some, er, other meanings. Needless to say, I snatched (sorry) the record up immediately, along with another album of Taylor’s that I found nearby: “Don’t Let The Devil Blow Your Mind.†When I got home it was the first of the day’s thrift scores to go on the turntable. It didn’t disappoint. For out-of-context soundbites, this was aural caviar: “Two would be in the bed, and one snatch!†“Many pleasures of life are used… but I happen to prefer The Snatch.†“There is one thing that all of us should be aiming for… and that is The Snatch!†Even the non-snatch samples were great: “…and let me go on to the disco, and get the Saturday Night Fever, Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye, and I’ll just have me a TIME!†The Elder Marshall Taylor is a soul preacher. black and proud. The shaky press-type liner notes on the back proclaims “DETROIT, MICHIGAN†in large type, and the sermon sounds it. It’s great, actually. The gospel music that opens it gives way to Elder Taylor, timid and almost apologetic at first. But he builds — boy, does he build — becoming bolder, louder, more animated. The “amens†appear more and more, and before long, he gets rhythm: the sermon is morphing from speech into song. The audience is into it too: yelling and screaming, they’re getting sucked into the raw energy of it. By the end, it’s at fever pitch — the reverend, the congregation, the band, the din, the chaos. Now THAT’S religion. It took a few years, but I finally coaxed the samples into a pretty worthwhile song, also called “ Don't Miss The Great Snatch â€, which appeared on our album Plagiarhythm Nation, v2. As for the Elder Marshall, some web sleuthing leads me to suspect that he (or perhaps his son) is still preaching the gospel up in Detroit. But as for his albums, I can find nothing anywhere mentioning them. Here are my ten favorite samples from the album: 1. Don’t miss the great snatch Link 2. Don’t go to hell second class Link 3. I appreciate the word Snatch Link 4. I happen to prefer the snatch Link 5. One thing all of us should be aiming for Link 6. So don’t miss that snatch Link 7. Two in the bed and one snatch Link 8. Sisters make the snatch Link 9. Brothers make the snatch Link 10. The snatch could come any day now Link Here’s the main snatch-related parts of the sermon. Part 1 sets up the groundwork for what the snatch is. Part 2 has elder Taylor riffing on his own personal low points before he got wise to the snatch. Part 3 continues with snatches in the bible. * Don’t Miss The Great Snatch - Part 1 Link * Don’t Miss The Great Snatch - Part 2 Link * Don’t Miss The Great Snatch - Part 3 Link

    yayyyyyy God

    I thought that the picture said a lot on many levels too. I think it is a really cool looking picture and the little mermaid looks very comfortable and at peace in the outfit.
  18. Ducks looked great last night. Where did the Wings disappear to? Chelios? Man, what a lame "trick" to draw that penalty at the end of the game. Even more classless was the fact that he left the ice and didn't shake hands with the Ducks. Lame. Wonder if he trashed his hotel room last night (just like he and those other winners on Team USA did at the Olympics). ++++++ The Stanley Cup Handshake Conundrum You could feel the relief a continent away as fans in Anaheim rose to salute their team on Tuesday night. A skittish bunch of Ducks had (barely) held off a late Detroit charge and advanced to the Stanley Cup Final. Amidst the celebration, television cameras caught veteran Detroit defenseman Chris Chelios shaking hands with the Ducks' coaching staff. "Classy move," cried Greg Millen of Hockey Night in Canada. Then Chelios went straight to the locker room. "Not so classy there," said Millen. Chelios had commited a hockey faux pas. He had skipped the traditional players' handshake at center ice. It's not the first time Chelios has taken a pass, and he has plenty of company. Hall of Fame goaltenders Gerry Cheevers and Billy Smith were among those known to skip handshakes. When Detroit won the 1954 Stanley Cup, only one Montreal player stuck around to offer congratulations. "There undoubtedly has been far more abstaining than we've realized, because nobody records the results on the gamesheet or breaks down the video," notes Terry Frei at ESPN.com, who says the ritual should be optional. "Don't do it if you don't want to. No recriminations. No criticism." Easier said than done. "I've always thought it was a matter of integrity." said one of Smith's old teammates, Dennis Potvin. "You lose the game; you don't lose your integrity." A Red Wings fan will be inclined to excuse Chelios. His unwillingness to face the handshake shows that he cares so much, he hates to lose, he's such a competitior, etc. To a less sympathetic fan, he's just a jerk.
  19. That's his "style". I've always disliked it. I think that he as a dramatically overrated goalie. He's had a career with some amazing statistics, but i don't think he's as good as he's made out to be. Last night was much more of a reality. When the team in front of him fails, it's rare for him to steal a game for his team.
  20. f Rolling Stone. I've never been a fan of their opinions on what constitutes a 5-star album. I remember reading RS in the early/mid 80s. It was crap then, and the last i looked, is still crap (in comparison to the great content you can get about music online).
