dimafleck: the living legend.

wow,

what a fucking cash grab that show last night was.

30 bucks to see this guy rehash old ween songs with no back up band or effort.

he could barely play his acoustic in time.

awful stuff. the ween fans were eating it up.

left after 30 minutes.

i try.

but seriously....

i'll go as high as 30.

anyone? i'll even pick it up.

people are going to be giving tickets away tommorow.

i'm in toronto and would love to take it off your hands.

$25

k,

so there's a commercial on the radio out there right now that is something to the effect of

"$5 dollars gets you a quarter inch of a yacht, so much so of a carpter, and also gets you THIS at THIS FOOD retailer"...

a question:

1) are you familiar with this excecution?

2) do you know which company this spot is for?

3) what radio station did you hear it on?

i know i have heard this before. i know for sure.

i just need to prove to my employers that it exists.

everything i said about facebook ended up being true douche.

not bad for a first year communications major.

and i will not tone it down.

worst. campaign. ever.

i would have loved to be in that board room.

a bunch of out of touch kraft brand managers, and some hack creatives trying to sell themselves on the idea that a creamy sandwich spread is "cool" and in order to appeal to the "kids" you need to be "uncomprimising"

*bows*

they're all going to laugh at you.

anyone know when tickets go on sale?

13.2 mi is a lot of stumbling.

how far from the venue is this?

these fuckers are going to blow up.

fun stuff.

just added my comment.

"I think the first step to liking phish is to realize that you probably won't like them for a while.

Phish is a lot like walking into an art gallery of artists of whom you know nothing about. Whether you enjoy the peices on the wall, or you don't, the crucial peice that is missing is "context"; or in the much deeper sense, Walter Benjimen's concept of "aura".

Benjamin used the word "aura" to refer to the sense of awe and reverence one presumably experienced in the presence of unique works of art. According to Benjamin, this aura inheres not in the object itself but rather in external attributes such as its known line of ownership, its restricted exhibition, its publicized authenticity, or its cultural value.

You might enjoy a groove, or a lyric, or a chorus; or you might think it "all sounds the same"

You can stare at a painting for the first time and think its pretty, or ugly. Knowing the artist, knowing the period, knowing the context changes it.

Patience, a good taste in a variety of music, and a healthy love of partying. Learn to enjoy it at home. But you'll never love it till you try it live.

Step 2: buy a ticket. Let go. create your own "aura"."

alright, lets get back tot he subject on hand.

you clearly tried to get all high and mighty and acted like you owned the place vindicating yourself on the idea that people that bring lawnchairs up close are scum. it was a pussy move because if it was two guys sitting there, or even one guy...you'd stand there and know your role.

no doubt the lawn chair mafia is scum. but your little act of protest is the most gutless move i've heard of in a long time and I have no doubts many would agree...even on here.

parliament building, under the flag pole. 4 pm.

sounds like NW took my advice.

i don't blame him. apparantley, that husband had consumed some alocholic beverages.

you hear that??

i think its the sound of a husband headed right for you! RUN!

i'm in ottawa actually.

name the time and place.

sounds to me like this hippy is able to grow a set of mincy faggot balls after a few beers .........

until a real man shows up.

way to swing your dick around a sober female.

Phony? I don't know how bang on that is...crazy asshole? That probably fits better, with the case boiling down to how accepting we are of assholes at the time. Are we going to be Snooty, over-polite, restrained Canadians, or be able to humour someone enough to get past the point of asshole in a first impression and get the asshole past being an asshole so that our time isn't completely wasted?

Stating that a professional musician is 'passionate about music' is redundant and stupid. I would probably have handled it about the same as Billy Bob but would have tried to be a bit more inclusive and engaged Jian in some better discussion afterwards...so not really 'just about the same' for long, but for that split second when the 'what the fuck kind of question is that' thought pops in our head...definitely.

Jian Ghomeshi is a very nice guy (or sure plays the part well enough to have impressed me when I met him briefly a few years ago) and a great host, but he could have deflected it differently so we wouldn't have to hear about Billy Bob.

Talking to a musician/actor about his/her passion for someting ELSE than the actual reason for the interview in the first place...like a hobby or interest that wasn't really well known and would generate some better, multi-faceted dialogue - while cliche and fluffy - is probably a better approach.

Kudos to Jian for TRYING the overly obvious, subtly suprising, and ego-padding approach...but it didn't work and it's not really all that hard to see why.

If we really didn't care about Billy Bob Thornton, we wouldn't be talking about the guy again...would we?

How is this guy relevant?

Maybe I don't get it yet but I definitely prefer tropical punch.

how can some one write so much, but make so little sense?

and i agree with ya pat on the whole dialogue about the good old days of music...bill did call billy out on being like "i don't know about 100....a hundred's a lot!"

i think its kinda funny that maher introduced billy using pretty much the exact same words as Gomeshi, yet billy is all smiles this time..fucking phony.

pt had that stupid joke all over its pages for days now.

basher= unoriginal hack.

i'm not a yuppie.

yuppie's have to work and climb the corporate ladder in order to have an disposable income.

i just have a disposable income.

i think boochey's a little grumpy because i've been holding out on oral sex until he washes his crotch.
