especially telling is how the "suit" casually strides past ... business as usual ...

LOL! nice one Kev!

while I can understand why some people dont want to give up on the idea that God created all of us, the thing that most baffles (impresses?) me about denialists is how successful they have been in getting the public to question global warming.

other reports now are that he died of a heart attack yesterday while canoeing in Algonquin Park ...

The Guelph Mercury is reporting that Ken Danby has just passed away. Still in development. A sad day if this is true.

I have this print in my office and Im looking at it right now ...

You know what pisses me off about these ameros?

I've always felt that the sound at an outdoor venue improves after the sun goes down. Someone told me that it is because the reduced temperature means that the air is less humid, and so sound travels more easily. Someone else told me that it is just psychological. I'm no science guy, so I'm not sure. Maybe Tungsten Gruvsten can tell us the answer...

you are right, sound does actually travel better outdoors at night when the air becomes more humid. sound travels almost 5 times faster in water than in air. its how you can hear your neighbours at the cottage from way across the lake at night because of the heavy still air. you also hear it better at the show because winds also die down when the sun goes down.

i must be in a minority here, but for a large arena, i've never minded ACC's sound....

really depends on where you are, but I agree. the sound in there is pretty good for an arena.

having the place filled with fat torontonians helps absorb the echo too.

Speaking of being a flibbertigibbet, i just bought a delicious Bounty bar in the hospital here for $1.10, yet with tax it came to $1.26. They rounded up from $1.254, which I dont think is right.

that is all.

so, who's gonna finish this theme?!?!?

what's a flibbertigibbet?

flibbertigibbet: n. A silly' date=' scatterbrained, or garrulous person. [/quote']

[color:purple]oh well then yes, you are being a bitchy flibbertigibbet today

the singing of ryan and the whole band. Outstanding. 6 stars out of 5.

the man does have an absolutely beautiful voice. one of the nicest Ive ever heard.

great reviews of this show. thanks all.

I think Paddy McAloon produced this new Stars cd. For those up on their 80's musical trivial, the name may ring a bell - he was the leader of the band Prefab Sprout, whose pop cult hit Faron Young was produced by musical genius Thomas Dolby.

No wonder I love this CD so much! Takes me back to my youth!

10. New Order - Ceremony

That's kind of debatable, isn't it?

very much so, that's why I chose it.

Ceremony is perhaps the one song that most supports the argument that New Order is Joy Divison, but with a new name and the loss of its original lead singer.

The song was written by Joy Divison, lyrics by Curtis, but was never officially studio recorded for release by Joy Division because Curtis died. A live JD version was later released posthumously, but 15 years after New Order released their studio recording. In fact, New Order's first single was Ceremony, but with Sumner on vocals. Ceremony is the transitional piece, and its just as much Joy Division as it is New Order.

Stylistically, New Order ventured into areas very different from Joy Division, but to this day, many will argue (myself included) that they remain the same band that just went in a different direction after the death of their lead singer and simply changed their name.
