  1. couldn't believe they came to hamilton... the manager of the Crowbar restaurant on Barton street showed me exactly where the "big fat happy bearded guy" sat great shows... crowd sounded like Beatle-mania

    I'm Sorry

    The Slip is playing Montreal tomorrow?
  3. Suicide Is Painless (the theme from M*A*S*H) Music by Johnny Mandel Lyrics by Mike Altman Through early morning fog I see visions of the things to be the pains that are withheld for me I realize and I can see... [REFRAIN]: that suicide is painless It brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please. I try to find a way to make all our little joys relate without that ever-present hate but now I know that it's too late, and... [REFRAIN] The game of life is hard to play I'm gonna lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay so this is all I have to say. [REFRAIN] The only way to win is cheat And lay it down before I'm beat and to another give my seat for that's the only painless feat. [REFRAIN] The sword of time will pierce our skins It doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but... [REFRAIN] A brave man once requested me to answer questions that are key is it to be or not to be and I replied 'oh why ask me?' [REFRAIN] 'Cause suicide is painless it brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please. ...and you can do the same thing if you please.
  4. outlaw catholicism and heat the rooms the old-fashioned way!
  5. though it'd probably make us all broke we should really follow Australia's lead in this story Australia says lights out to incandescent bulbs (by 2010) their hydro companies hire large numbers of students to go door to door and change people's old bulbs to energy saving bulbs for them... a good move (changing your bulbs yourself, if you haven't already, might save you a couple of bucks)
  6. people really should... Rob Szabo was the frontman of Plasticine & The Groove Daddy's amongst others Videos
  7. best books I ever read regarding the preciousness of water would still be Frank Herbert's Dune series good fiction... sand worms and vapor suits
  8. believe one of the Garage Mahal shows and some of the stateside festivals they were playing a couple of years ago were way up there in the numbers... imagine on the strength of the new album they'll be seeing some big crowds again this summer
  9. I miss the Minutemen thanks for the hookup AD
  10. as Woody Allen said: the bands I like I believe write and play cause they love to do that and the court of popular opinion generally seems way down there on their list of priorities... I don't care if they know 3 chords or 1,000 are 14 years old or 40 or anything else besides the feelings I get when I listen to their art... same as most things, I like it when I feel someone actually "means it" now I'm hungry... rock on
  11. maybe go more than once and see who you'd like to play with... and maybe go up and play on your own, see who'd like to play with you when in doubt bust out the achepella its a big world, see what happens
  12. how'd that towel get in front of my door? do you smell fire?
  13. one day Grand Theft Bus will own you all! like a gigantic hill built out of dutch windmill gears and scrap stealth airplane parts
  14. I think comparing bands is a fool's gambit which hill is better? the round one with the tobaggan hill or the tall one with the trees and the cave?
  15. I used to hate The Fat Cats (seriously) and was happy to tell anyone who cared to hear that now I only dislike them intensely (joke) I changed or they changed or we both did or something changed and I'm certainly glad they didn't bow out on my behalf

    Culture?

    I was watching an anthropology show on early humans and it brought up this big beautiful cave in France where they were suprised to find out that people used to congregate at from all over Europe, Africa and Asia annually the suprise part was that this was in a period when people were supposed to be not really communicating at any advanced level and sticking to their isolated little hunter/gatherer clans the relative part is besides trading some ideas and goods, it seems they were mainly there to "dance, drum and party" for about a week straight... traces of very old mushrooms, weed and other intoxicants amongst the stone tools and clothing... the host of the show said that maybe the biological explanation was to spread out the gene pool... I think they did it because thats what people like to do
  17. This is the smartest post in the whole thread. "Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching." - Richard Leigh
  18. oh wait a minute! that was ME sayin you used to be a lot more fun to party with =)
  19. sorry kooky, nothing personal if I kept hearing people saying again and again that you used to be a lot more fun to party with than you are now, I'd eventually pipe in on your behalf too =)
