There was a British show about some Kid with a magic flashlight (I think he called it a torch)

That song will haunt me now for days!

Holy shit, what a flashback! Duneedon, that silver freaky floating head bad dude. How did that plot eventually end? If I remember correctly, it had some sort of educational spin too. Didn't Duneedon have a human counterpart? Trippy.

As for anothers, my TVO flashbacks include Fables of the Green Forest, Doctor Who and this history cartoon show.

Thanks for the memories, Zimmerman.

My new desktop! Wicked

Funny as it seems to me, I took some shit from folks for going to see U2 at Copps this fall. It was awesome. They started the show with the house lights up. I was hooked. Great performers, less gloss, it was a great concert experience.

Oh, that and Bon Jovi/Cinderella at the Ex in 1986. First concert, first cigerette, wore the T-shirt for Halloween this year.

Still half way there, still livin on a prayer......

Dude, they lived in GIANT MUSHROOMS!

Nuff said!

In my experience, people have to find their own ways with these things. Pretty soon the money's gonna run out and Beats will be into stealing other people's pickles at parties, knockin over unsuspecting street meat vendors just for their relish. Sometimes you gotta let 'em hit the bottom....

However, back to the point, plane down, let's hope it's an accident and not a surface to air, bomb or otherwise. Man, the airline industry didn't need this.

By the by Beats, it's OK brother. Despite the pickle problem, from your previous 5/8/77 post (your first, really??? dude, get in touch with me)every little ting gonna be alright.

Wow! Nice response. So great to hear from a few phamilar pholks (and to figure out the names behind the names) and meet some new. Although it's mildly distrubing that most have some sort of messed memory to attach to my name (hee,hee)

i love the old five album list - it's inspired a dusting off of a few and acquring of others.

To pick up a couple of points, the Strokes are outstanding and just dropped off the heavy rotation. Lenny Breau is sooo worth looking into. He was amazing.

Keep up the discussion. As for Nero in K/W, unforunately this weekend not in the cards (sorry lads, next time or maybe come to London!!!) Got buddies coming down. Paul Atkin Quartet is playing at the Bacchus Lounge on Sat. in London. If you get a chance, check them out (Paul isn't just a friend but an outstanding talent)

Nice to be back....

Hey all, Scottieking here,

I've got to say, this board has some definite potential to further expand our Canadian head community. To whomever runs the site, keep up the good work cause I know it's hardwork. I've been doing this online thing on again off again since '98 and have been a phan for waaay longer and felt since I intend to be using this board a little more often (once again thanks to Ottawa lads down last weekend for bringin me on, Saturday afternoon just won't be the same) I'd let you cats who don't know me from the Canadian Tape Traders Board what I'm about.

The reason I love these things is that it serves as such a potential positive force for all who choose to get involved. Sure, opinions are great and need to be expressed but play nice, don't give in to bias, and try to hear the other side. I guess that's the teacher in me talkin. I guess I'm just trying to feel out if this is a place where this is going to be accepted or mocked. I know that it's the coolest feeling to finally meet somebody at a show that you've been trading or just hangin with online. Guys like Mark Tonin or MarcO who I've only known in cyberspace that have suddenly popped to life at shows BLAM instant friendships. I know I'm rambling (could be the drugs) but wouldn't you rather start it off with "Great to meet you" instead of a "Oh YOUR ________ who called me a ______" Ah well, food for thought.

Hey, if you made it this far, congrats and thank-you. Anyway, here's a good one for discussion always. Top 5 things in Permanent Rotation on your stereo

1. New Deal - new album, too good

2. Tom Waits - Rain Dogs - found it at Music World for $5.99 - classic

3. SCI - 3/10/01 - mmmm, soundboard

4. Sloan - Pretty Together - sucker for a good harmony

5. Rheostatics - Night of the Shooting Stars - their latest and IMO one of their finest

Dig it. Discuss it. If I could too at this moment put out a request for anyone who has a nice copy of A)MMW - Toronto Jazz Fest

B)Trey Band - Deer Creek/01

please email or otherwise

Great to be here. Thanks for reading.

Alan, you old scallywag, it's me, Scottie. This is quite the odd co-inq-e-dink, I'm just throwing my name out here for the first time as well (well in this forum anyhow) Good to see your name in lights again. Email me.

As for the rest of y'all, hi diddly ho. I was convinced by the gang that came down to see me in London this week (r.monkey, giggles, beet) to get on the board. I, as well as Alan have been kickin around the scene for awhile. Good to see such an active community up and running. Anyway, be talkin to you soon.
