  1. I saw them on Rabidmonkey's epic 1999 birthday bash at zaphods.

    I especially enjoyed the rock a bye->hey jude medley sung by 1996's "magic the gathering" champion.

    I've always seen these press releases saying these guys are rockstars but that was my only experience with them.

  2. I thought the hit on Green was vicious. I definitely think there should be a fine. He was almost all the way through his slide. I'm shocked that there was no late hit called.

    Damon Huard eh? look out...

    I think Bledsoe will be fighting for his job in 2 weeks. I didn't think Jacksonville looked to special but I'm happy they won. That way they won't have a chip on there shoulder next Monday night.

  3. On a side note, I was listening to the game, not watching it. (no cable) So I had Boomer as a commentator. I'm not sure if he was on TV but he is most definitely a high order practitioner of douchebaggery. He was calling for Dante to be in the pro bowl before the end of the first half of the first game of the season.

    Douchebag.

  4. It was an interesting experience. My total verbal interaction with Damo over the entire night was "Hi Damo, nice to meet you" to which I was greeted with a nod.

    Musically speaking it was fun but it would have been nice to have stopped and changed directions more. We did however play in about 4 different keys throughout the hour + movement.

    Overall I'm not exactly sure what to make of Damo's thing. sure seems like a good gig for him. ;)

    Also it would have been nice to play with the other musicians that came to play. Some guy brought a saw. I love the saw.

  5. I think it would help out a lot if some of these Can-Jam bands got publicists...or maybe a publicity company that could represent a handful of them.

    Anyone ever hire one or investigate hiring one?

    You can't rely on the bars to do the promotion.

    Agreed that this is needed. Unfortunately after paying the agent 15% and manager 10% off the top before expenses the publicist money would probably have to come out of thr $10-$20 per day perdium.

    What canjam bands really have to do is stop writing music and concentrate on meditation in hopes of attaining some sort of enlightenment that allows you to stop eating. That would save so much cash!

  6. The fucking music press, pompous indy rock guzzlers, promoters, industry hacks who listen to Feist when they make oral sex with a dental dam and think they're cool- they all hate us or just don't even give a shit.

    Luke,

    You make me laugh. Thank you.

  7. Our Tueday night shows were the best thing we ever did as a band. We were extremely fortunate to have a venue like the Whipping Post in town. Lance basicly just gave us a green light to do whatever we wanted with the night. It gave us the opportunity learn how to play together, to learn how to improvise and really to learn how to play. That residency did more for my playing than anything.

    What was different about the Tueday shows was that we tried to really "go out there" and break new ground. We figured that we had only a certain amount of songs and that if people were going to come every week it wouldn't be to see us do the same songs every night.

    Ahh, so many great memories!

  8. All complaining aside.

    Being able to have performed my own music across Canada and the US for what is truthfully a beautiful group of people has been a priviledge and a dream come true.

    As difficult as it is for me to play what I want to and get anywhere with it, there is nothing more I would rather do. I can't wait to be out there doing it all again.

    I'll just do it more sensibly.

  9. surviving on $20 a day

    Wow, you guys were living large!!

    I remember figuring out in Canmore that if I slept in long enough I could just eat one cold cut combo for the day and save the extra $6 for something more unsavoury.
