Dr. J

hey Deeps glad you made it out

Looks like there'll be more dates upcoming for me and these guys....

Rev does this mean they'll be learning Clappison's Corners

I'm on my way out now to make "date night" even more special.

Now it all comes clear.

Conratulations NewRider!!! All the best to both of you!!!

yeah that sucks. Glad to hear Beau is OK. Hope they grab the assholes and get the rest of his stuff back. Like StnMtn I'm seriously thinking about hitting the highway for this one.

Fans of Ryan Adams and Gram Parsons would find the trip out worthwhile I'm sure.

For those travelling in a different direction that weekend - if you're heading down Highway 7 the Fri nite before (Feb 1)and want to catch a show, Justin and James (Spades) will be doing a show at a theatre in an old shoe factory here in Perth. James' set will be solo.

I know it's a stretch, but if there's anybody around and interested pm me and we'll get you on the guest list.

In the meantime take a listen to A Penny For the Band from Justin's upcoming album. It's a good one.

There's a mystic side of me

And he's not bad company

But he speaks in tongues I can never understand

He says it's one more show and a penny for the band

yep Spades and Sadies at the Newmarket Theatre this coming Saturday. Tickets are $15 and it's a 4 artist bill, so I don't know how long a set either band will do, but I've seen these guys hook up on a few occasions now and have never been disappointed. If anyone's interested I'd slip over to the Spades.ca where there's a chance of picking up a couple of free passes.

I read Across the Great Divide and thought it was quite good. I haven't yet read Levon's book.

Happy birthday Scott!

Hope it's a good one for ya'.

Happy birthday, Todd!

Do yerself proud!

Some of my favourite artists (Neil Young, Spades, Ryan Adams, Wilco, Sadies, White Stripes, Springsteen) released work in ‘ 07 and none of it disappointed.

Favourite big venue show – Springsteen @ Scotiabank Place 10/14/07. By this point in the tour, the E-Street band had its A game again and Win and Regine put it over the top.

Favourite club show – Spades @ Zaphods 08/03/07. The setlist was exquisite - so was its delivery. "We've gotta start playing with shittier bands" (Peter Elkas).

The skank who introduced me to some of my fave music these days is...

1. YearsAlongTheSea - Bright Eyes

(a close second would be Jaimoe - TSOOL)

2. Esau - United Steelworkers of Montreal

I'm in love with this band right now.

3. NewRider - Drive By Truckers

Don't know how i missed them.

Great read, but not much to grab a 13 yr old i suspect.

Justin Rutledge - Too Sober to Sleep

"god damn my liver when its thirsty,

god damn my wallet when it's dry..."

Have a good one, Jay!

Happy birthday, Mooose!

Always nice to see you.

Are you going to be in Peterborough for NYE?

Cool read. Thanks Hux.

hey mooosey, remember:

Good times are comin'

I hear it everywhere I go

Good times are comin'

But they sure comin' slow.

Wishing you a better one tomorrow!

Haven't been around much lately.

They play their final show tonite at the Infinity in Buffalo.

Now if only you knew somebody who wrote songs, Dr. J.

ah yeah.....but he doesn't listen to me.....none of my children listen to me.....

geeez i don't even think my member of Parliament listens to me

shameful plug & despicable violation of youtube protocol but what the hell...should make the cleaning move along....

esp. the last 60 secs.

... implied that Latimer has said that he'd do it again.

he has always stated that he felt what he did was the right thing to do. given the impossibility of it actually happening again' date=' though, he should be released despite the legal requirement of showing remorse.

very sad situation, all around.

[/quote']

I agree. Given the same set of circumstances (a daughter whom he loved suffering immeasurable pain with no hope of getting better) Latimer has always said he would do the same thing over again. As his sister said - he's not going to lie to get out of jail.

How many jackasses come before the Parole Board and lie thru their teeth and the Board knows full well they're only giving them what they want to hear and they still get parole....but Latimer (despite the miniscule possibility that he would ever re-offend) refuses to say what they want to hear so they continue to twist his arm a little tighter.

The other night i happened to catch a PBS special on Dylan showcasing some early live footage. It struck me that this is the very kind of situation that in the early sixties Dylan would have ripped to shreds "The Ballad of Robert Latimer"

I've never written my member of Parliament before, but I have now.

The current miscarriage of justice being carried out by the National Parole Board in the case of Robert Latimer I find to be ridiculous. Whether one agrees or disagrees with what he did, this man is not a menace to society and having him remain in prison serves no useful purpose.

His lack of remorse says volumes about his character (his sister says he will not lie to get out), but absolutely nothing about the possibilty of him repeating his action.

This attempt to hold him down until he says "Uncle" is childish bullying at it's worst. it serves no one well, not Latimer, not society, not the disabled.

Like I said, I've never written my MP before but I did on this one.

Maybe this should have been in the Politics Forum?

Is there a Pissed Off forum?

Theme: Songs About Shrimp, Fish and/or fishermen, that would fit well into a short mockumentary film on fish farming in Vietnam

1. Primus - John The Fisherman

2. The Lovin' Spoonful - Fishin' Blues

3. Barnes and Barnes - Fish Heads (Buck 65 just released a version of this as well if you want to get all contemporary and sh!t)

4. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Fishin' In The Dark

5. Woody Guthrie - Talking Fishing Blues

Spades will be in Montreal tomorrow night (Dec. 7) @ Club Soda w/Pascale Picard & Two Hours Traffic if anyone's in the neighbourhood.

POG no date yet....that I'm aware of....unless Ryan knows of one.

I listened to the game last night.

Where the hell was Alfredsson for the shoot-out?

Dean McAmmond?
