... they really are a live band and should be heard that way...

Please do I'd love to expose more people to this band.

I got an earful about this from Darryl from the Tacoma Hellfarm Tragedy the other day. Sounds great.

No I never meant that Dale came in on bass. Seems like Andy's gone and Dale's in. I'm sure Dale is still doing Cuff The Duke too and Hylozoists. Someone must be in the bass chair though. Maybe I'm wrong about Patil - bummer though he was my favourite largely cause I was a huge Holiday Snaps fan.

Jared and Dima, uhm, head to head.

Yeah I would add Matt to the famous people I know list too. I was a big Guthries fan when I lived in Halifax. I get the sense Andy Patil has been replaced in Torpedo. I saw a recent promo picture and I don't think he was in it but Dale Murray was and he only periodically played with them (fellow Guthrie and Anne's nephew).

I presume it is some sort of union but how do Deli workers get unionized and how do all of them get unionized without holdouts. It still sounds weird to me but I'm sure it's legit.

Plus who the fuck denies Global Warming- it's not as bad as denying the Holocaust but it's just as self-evident. Reminds me of the pressure the Bush administration was putting on NASA's chief climatologist. Like the guy is THE world expert on climate- or at least NASA's top climate guy and they're trying to muzzle him speaking publicly at conferences about - I don't know- say Climate Change. In that case, maybe the guys name is Watson (he was at Godard), it turned out that one of the PR flacks that was laying in on him at NASA turned out to be a Bush appointee who worked on the campaign and as it turns out didn't even have a university degree in science journalism or whatever he claimed to have a degree in. Seriously though Crichton really went hard. Like not enough to call the guy a child rapist he had to have small penis to (and anal tearing, excuse me?).

Another Supergenerous disc! Nice.

Fuck I never watch TV but I'd totally watch this on DVD.

I'm sure they'll be cool with it. You know I have one of the guys business cards so I would even go so far as to give him a shout by email and give him the heads up. The guitarist was a camper at Weirdness and my camp when we were on staff I'm sure Champagne James will be fine with it as the rest.

I'm still howling at those pics.

That is unfuckingbelievable.

How do you go on fucking strike at a Deli? Seriously can't you just hire a new staff?

So good ol' global warming denying/Jurassic park creating Crichton has sunk to new lows. small penis

What a fag Perez Hilton is.

See them again or in the right state of mind if there is one. Great band.

This seemed oddly familiar. Sheats of Easter

I caught this Weird Apples hip hop show last night (Noah23 and MadAdam) and at one point he was riffing about how 'in Antartica icebergs are shaped like this, in the Arctic...'. Reminded me of this chick at Evolve, I don't know 3, who was obviously peaking gills (understatement of the century) and swimming in the ocean. Ted Kartzman, one of the founders of Jambase and Slip family member, and I were going for a dip and she's coming out of the water stark naked and well stark naked. Like no hair down there, you could have eaten eggs off her nether regions - if you know- that's your trip. Anyways she's saying the most wacked shit and it's pretty hard not to notice the stark nakedness get's back in the ocean and has this like realization. Screaming 'Iceberg Uncertainty Principle'- she was obviously thinking of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle one of the central tenets of Quantum Physics. Fucking such a scene.

I like that Live story. Glad to know that even musicians poach beer off other band's riders from time to time- it's a right of passage. Fuck now I'm trying to think of some good ones. Why do we all get the sense that M is the one to hit up for ALL of these stories. I just deleted the last thing I wrote.... I've had some great chats with Gord Downie over the years, about Camus and poetry and literature and whatnot. One great night in Halifax with Brendan Canning (now BSS) spinning house as The Champ comes to mind. Another time my very hot ex and I got into an after party (that makes sense now- the us getting in and her being very hot and the party being a sausage fest). It was literally like her playing pool with the entire Hip and me just gabbing away. Fuck she was hot.

That is cool. Branford and the Mule.

I guess it depends on what you mean by 'know'. I'm acquainted with a hella lot of famous people. My godmother was Col. Sanders nurse. True dat.

Kate Hudson's saddling up with the old Butterscotch Stallion eh?

Heard this great band on a Burnt Oak records bill last night called Slow Hand Motem. Live it was sort of like garage funk or something, stripped down, drum machine, chunky bass. The record sounds very Weenish in a good way. Great band, sort of really eccentric like BA Johnson for another Hamilton phenom.

I agree with the sentiment, was confused whether you were saying these guys were 'made' or 'nobodies'. They're pretty made, TPC I mean, label deals on Paper Bag in North America and Memphis Industries in the UK. I said in the article how they're similar to Born Ruffians and Meligrove Band- sort of a mini-movement. I said they were likely the least successful of the three- which is true. It was funny cause the band members- who were such little 'flouncing nellies' (as Rollins would put it)- were obviously kind of pissed. The one guy thought it was 'wishy washy' which was a half decent remark but you could tell it was for the wrong reasons (of course it was wishy washy because it was clear that I didn't like them). The other sort of dumb as fuck looking pretty boy just said 'I didn't get it' which seemed quite literal.
