  6. All songs considered (live show content)

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    I came across this site while reading a blog and in case it isn't well known I figured I'd pass along the info. I was checking out the site and noticed they have a section called "All songs considered" where you can listen to via streaming various live concerts.

    NPR (National Public Radio - www.npr.org ) is an internationally acclaimed producer and distributor of noncommercial news, talk, and entertainment programming. A privately supported, not-for-profit membership organization...

    I haven't checked each show but a random check showed they were all available.

    Heres what bands are listed:

    Live Concerts

    Mogwai

    Toots and the Maytals

    Neko Case

    Martha Wainwright

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs

    Arctic Monkeys

    Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

    Belle and Sebastian

    The New Pornographers

    Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

    Colin Meloy

    Laura Veirs

    James Brown

    Sinead O'Connor

  7. Stompin' on the CBC....

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    Sure, he's an old guy that's been around stompin' for ages...but does he have any reason to be able to demand a special over anyone else?

    Seeing as it is his first ever TV special, and he's a Canadian icon, I find it sorta odd.

    Taken from his website:

    For Immediate Release::

    STOMPIN' TOM SNUBBED BY CBC TV

    (from Brian Edwards, Rocklands Entertainment Inc., Peterborough Ontario)

    Since 1990 as Stompin' Tom's promoter I have been led to believe that CBC TV wanted a Stompin’ Tom Music Special in the worst way!!

    From year to year from various CBC TV management, the pressure was on for Stompin' Tom to perform a CBC music special. Constant phone calls and meetings took place with the end result always indicating – We want Stompin’ Tom; no matter what it takes we must have Tom on CBC.

    This past September a 'live' concert was put to tape at Hamilton Place in Hamilton Ontario during a Stompin’ Tom concert tour. The results were superb and definitely a magic moment for Stompin' Tom fans. The event was produced in High Definition to meet the requirements for a growing much needed upgrade in good quality programming.

    Upon completion, a copy of the proposed broadcast was sent to CBC's head of TV Variety on December 12, 2005. A letter acknowledging the receipt of same was issued December 13th. It advised that a decision could take a few weeks, but as CBC was aware of the project, it would not take quite as long as that.

    After several emails over a 10 week period, no answer was forthcoming.. An email to the newly appointed Vice-President of CBC programming was sent. They now respond with a quick email sent March 3, 2006 indicating that CBC programming was moving far from music and variety and therefore did not feel the Stompin' Tom special would fit their strategy. The letter was sent to me, as I had forwarded the special to the CBC. They also sent the same letter to a third party who had absolutely nothing to do with this project. Not very good business.

    Further attempts to contact CBC Executive Management and the Minister of Heritage have been personally unanswered. Yet calls or emails forwarded to us over the past 15 years have been addressed at once and answers received from us in a timely manner.

    On May 11, another letter from the newly appointed Executive Director of Network programming was sent to Brian Edwards advising that CBC was not interested in broadcasting a Stompin' Tom Special.

    In the same note references were made that Stompin' Tom would have been a great guest to perform a song on the CBC Hockeyville series or a tremendous subject for a Life and Times project. Both of these programs are not "music specials" which is what the CBC pressured us for in the first place.

    The cost to CBC for the Stompin' Tom concert already completed would be at a fraction of the cost the CBC had initially proposed. In recent years, much less successful artists than Stompin' Tom have had CBC specials produced at monies in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and in some cases over a million. The success of those programs was a far cry from what the returns from a special for Stompin' Tom would generate.

    One would think that at 70 years of age, Stompin' Tom would be given the much deserved special he rightfully deserves. After all, CBC did insist they wanted a Stompin' Tom special.

    Stompin' Tom is one of the few Canadians not to have their own CBC special. In a time where the network is trying to attract viewers and save money, one would think that something they have wanted for years would be very attractive. In a recent reality show on CBC of the top 100 Canadians, Stompin' Tom placed 13 and was the highest rated of any musical performer. Strange, for a network to boast this to the Canadian public, yet deny the same artist a show on Canada's network?

    Tom's response:

    To whom it may concern. In Re:

    STOMPIN' TOM SNUBBED BY CBC.

    In cooperation with my Concert Promoter, Brian Edwards, of Rocklands Talent, based in Peterborough, Ont., who, over the last few years had gained assurances from the CBC Television Network that they wanted to air a Stompin' Tom Musical Special in the worst way, and after much encouragement from them we finally produced a Special in September of last year, 2005.

    No cost was spared to produce this High Definition Superior Quality Special and not a cent of tax-payer's money came from the Government.

    Then to our utter surprise and disappointment, upon receiving the Special, the CBC began to drag their feet, saying they would get back to us in a prompt fashion, which they never did.

    Each time they were contacted they passed the buck from office to office until finally we were told by an E-mail on May 11th,/06 by the newly appointed Executive Director of Network Programming that the CBC was "not interested" in Broadcasting a Stompin' Tom Special.

    In the same note, as a consolation perhaps, it was suggested that maybe Stompin' Tom might be interested in performing a song on the CBC Hockeyville Series or perhaps be interviewed on a segment of Life And Times.

    If this is not a complete snub to Stompin' Tom Connors by Canada's own Television Network then I'd like to know what is.

    While all this was going on, representatives of the CBC have been quoted in the newspapers proclaiming their desire to improve their dismal record on the amount of Canadian Talent Programming they've been airing in the last couple of years.

    Well, up to the present time we have contacted the offices of Richard Stursberg, Fred Nicolaidis, Robert Rabinovitch, Kirstine Layfield and many other high profile executives of the CBC. But all to no avail.

    As a last ditch effort we are currently trying to interest Ms. Bev Oda, the new Minister of Canadian Heritage, to see if she can look into this matter.

    In the last 40 years there have been many entertainers in this country, both known and not so well known, who have had Specials on the CBC. Some made money for the Network and a lot didn't. But as this would be my first Special ever, it strikes me as extremely odd that I would be turned down so unceremoniously. And without reason.

    As late as the Fall of 2004 the CBC's own National Survey, "The Greatest Canadian" rated Stompin' Tom as No. 13 overall, out of one hundred candidates from every walk of life, and No. 1 over all other musical entertainers. (I'm not 'strutting' this, I'm just telling the facts.) And if this alone is not enough to be deserving of a Special then perhaps the CBC should review some of the Awards and Citations received by Stompin' Tom in recognition of his lifetime work and dedication to the people of Canada.

    To name a few: The Officer's Medal of the Order of Canada; The Queen's Jubilee Medal; The Governor General's Medal for Lifetime Achievement; Three Doctorates and Six Junos. And if this is not enough to warrant a CBC Special, maybe they should condescend and come out to see one of my concerts which consistently draws family members from the ages of 2 to 102. One of our shows last summer drew over 40,000 people. And what did these people come out to see?

    They came to see a guy who sings and writes songs that Canadians can identify with. Not the gushy pie in the sky that all too often comes out of Nashville; the 'Here Today and Gone Tomorrow'.

    To sum up: As far as I'm concerned, if the CBC, our own Public Network, will not reconsider their refusal to air a Stompin' Tom Special, they can take their wonderful offer of letting me sing a song as a guest on some other program, AND SHOVE IT.

    STILL A "PROUD CANADIAN".

    ...last day of the long weekend and a great tune to start the days drinkin off with..

    Cheers :beer:

    Seven Days

    Seven days, seven more days she'll be comin'

    I'll be waiting at the station for her to arrive

    Seven more days, all I gotta do is survive.

    She been gone ever since I been a child

    Ever since I seen her smile, I ain't forgotten her eyes.

    She had a face that could outshine the sun in the skies.

    I been good, I been good while I been waitin'

    Maybe guilty of hesitatin', I just been holdin' on

    Seven more days, all that'll be gone.

    There's kissing in the valley,

    Thieving in the alley,

    Fighting every inch of the way.

    Trying to be tender

    With somebody I remember

    In a night that's always brighter'n the day.

    Seven days, seven more days that are connected

    Just like I expected, she'll be comin' on forth,

    My beautiful comrade from the north.

    There's kissing in the valley,

    Thieving in the alley,

    Fighting every inch of the way.

    Trying to be tender

    With somebody I remember

    In a night that's always brighter'n the day.

    Drivin' Nails In My Coffin

    -Gerald Irby

    My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely.

    He said that he and I were through.

    So I started out drinkin' for pastime:

    Drivin' nails in my coffin over you.

    I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin,

    Every time I drink a bottle of booze.

    I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin:

    Drivin' those nails over you.

    Ever since the day that we parted,

    I've been so sad and so blue.

    I'm always thinkin' of you, love,

    And I just can't quit drinkin' that old booze.

    I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin,

    Ev'ry time I drink a bottle of booze.

    I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin:

    Drivin' those nails over you.

    You turned me down, you don't want me.

    There's nothin' now I can lose.

    I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin.

    An' worryin', my darlin', over you.

    I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin,

    Ev'ry time I drink a bottle of booze.

    I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin:

    Drivin' those nails over you.

    I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin,

    Ev'ry time I drink a bottle of booze.

    I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin:

    Drivin' those nails over you.

    Dublin Blues

    I wish I was in Austin

    In the Chili Parlour Bar

    Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas

    And not carin' where you are

    But here I sit in Dublin

    Just rollin' cigarettes

    Holdin' back and chokin' back

    The shakes with every breath

    Forgive me all my anger

    Forgive me all my faults

    There's no need to forgive me

    For thinkin' what I thought

    I loved you from the git go

    I'll love you till I die

    I loved you on the Spanish steps

    The day you said goodbye

    I am just a poor boy

    Work's my middle name

    If money was a reason

    I would not be the same

    I'll stand up and be counted

    I'll face up to the truth

    I'll walk away from trouble

    But I can't walk away from you

    Forgive me all my anger

    Forgive me all my faults

    There's no need to forgive me

    For thinkin' what I thought

    I loved you from the git go

    I'll love you till I die

    I loved you on the Spanish steps

    The day you said goodbye

    I have been to Fort Worth

    I have been to Spain

    I have been to proud

    To come in out of the rain

    I have seen the David

    I've seen the Mona Lisa too

    And I have heard Doc Watson

    Play Columbus Stockade Blues

    Forgive me all my anger

    Forgive me all my faults

    There's no need to forgive me

    For thinkin' what I thought

    I loved you from the git go

    I'll love you till I die

    I loved you on the Spanish steps

    The day you said goodbye

    Well,I wish I was in Austin

    In the Chili Parlour Bar

    Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas

    And not carin' where you are

    Loving the covers they are pulling out, wow..

    My good friend Geordie decided last minute to go with his ex and grabbed a limo to party in for the trip from Hamilton to London. I'm still checking my head for any serious injuries because I turned down his offer of a ride & ticket, as well, his friend Brian's offer of using his trailer for the night afterwards. Aww well, one debt avoided at least..
