FYI' date=' Canadians do not yet need to have a passport to cross into the United States of America, unless you are crossing via air travel. I believe the passport requirement for Canadians via driving across borders is January 1, 2008. Tim [/quote'] It may not be a requirement, but it sure makes things a hell of a lot easier.

Happy Birthday, crunkhead!

World Party, Goodbye Jumbo.

Happy Birthday!

Pat Metheny Trio, Live.

I'm not sure what the dilemma is. There's no excuse for choosing Umphrey's over Lucinda Williams.

Amy Winehouse, Back To Black. Because NewRider said I should. And he was right!

Theme: songs about masturbating 1. The Beach Boys - In My Room 2. The Vapors - Turning Japanese 3. Green Day - Longview 4. Richard Thompson - Painted Ladies 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

It's also not unusual for at least one fatality per party.

Please. The full moon parties are really nothing but thousands of western tourists acting like complete degenerates for 16 hours. Imagine any rave you may have been to, and then crank to eleven the drug use, alcohol abuse, sexual abuse, vomiting, violence, public urination and defecation, and general lack of respect for others, for property and for environment.

Happy Birthday!

Joni Mitchell, Hejira. One of the greatest albums ever made. You don't own this? What are you, some kind of idiot?

Brazilian Girls, Talk To La Bomb.

Dave Holland Qunitet, Extended Play: Live At Birdland.

Return To Forever, Romantic Warrior. One of the worst album covers I have ever seen in my life. Some of the medieval themes running through this are pretty awful, too. It's not a horrible album - some of it is quite good, particularly Stanley Clarke's bass playing - but if I'm going to listen to fusion I'd probably prefer to listen to Weather Report or Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Gimme an R... O... C... K... Whaddaya got? ROCK!! And whattcha gonna do? ROCK YOU!!

You too, Schwa! But I fixed it for you, as I guess All Night Long never wrote a song called Lionel Richie.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ZZZZZ Songs about staying up late! 1. The Magnetic Fields - The Way You Say Goodnight 2. Paul Simon - St. Judy's Comet 3. Bright Eyes - Road to Joy 4. KISS - Rock and Roll All Night 5. Damian Marley - All Night 6. Lionel Richie - All Night Long (tomborita say temocha, hey tombo tombo!) 7. CCR - The Night Time is the Right Time 8. J.J. Cale - After Midnight 9. Chuck Berry - In The Wee Wee Hours 10. 11. 12.

But of course it's much better when you hear it.

Hello Everyone, it's time for poetry I submit to you the following, it's entitled: "I Eat with Gusto, Damn! You Bet" By one Jonathan Richman. When I eat like I do it, I use not fork nor spoon No grace or culture to it When I call my own tune. For I eat with gusto, damn! You bet A regular K-9 cruncher Except truth be told I'm sloppier yet Than many a dog food muncher I eat a pound I eat a ton And no there ain't much I cuts up And while I'm having merry fun Bystanders puke their guts up. The FBI sent someone by Who handles health affairs I had not finished my cream pie When he chanced up the stairs Why did he turn the other way? Why did he leave so quick? Will he come back another day? Did something make him sick? I eat with gusto, damn! You bet A regular doggie diner "No don't bring me napkins waiter sir, Just bring some trash can liner." Whilst wandering by a juice bar I spyed a tempting beverage Since I would have been last in line I used my fearsome leverage For in my pocket was some food Which I took from the wrapper The patrons watched it being chewed And of course headed for the crapper. For I eat with gusto, damn! You bet For gusto I'm the boss For yay my nose it is in the salad And lo my chin it is in the sauce I eat with gusto, damn! You bet We're sailing around the cape "Keel-haul him," said the Bosun "There must be no escape." One sunny day in Paris an elegant cafe A phone call there a phone call here And the gendarmes took me away I said "qu'est-ce qui se passe ici" I said " mais qu'est-ce que c'est" They said "Such eating it is criminal And crime it does not pay." For I eat with gusto, damn! You bet. My banner yay unfurled My shirt is covered with mustard And my hair with ketchup curled Goodby to Egypt, Greece and Rome The ancient world goodbye. May squalor be my summer home And filth be my neck tie. For I eat with gusto, damn! You bet. Uh, And Uh, I eat with gusto, damn! You bet My country tis of thee I eat for social progress I eat for victory Somebody died who watched me eat In a restaurant one spell He woke up and saw me eating beans And knew that he'd gone to hell For Uh, "He eats with gusto, damn! We bet." They're calling from the south They want to stop my gusto They want to close my mouth "You eat with gusto, yeah that's great Now let us off this bus." Wait a minute I haven't finished eating up stuff yet. "We'll call you, don't call us."

Sloan, Never Hear The End Of It. For a 77-minute album with 30 songs, it's a lot more coherent than you'd think. Thanks to MarcO and Wassink Wild Card! for the birthday gift.

Theme: favourite spoken word tracks 1. Steven J. Bernstein - Come Out Tonight 2. Gil Scott-Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised 3. MMW - Snake Anthony 4. Ani Difranco - Coming Up 5. Vincent Price - Thriller 6. Jonathan Richman - I Eat With Gusto, Damn! You Bet 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
