Those are pretty weak songs on the Myspace site. For the non-initiated, The Soundtrack Of Our Lives are one of the best bands I've ever seen in concert (the Opera House show from 2003). Their albums are fantastic - mix in the Beatles with The Stooges, Pink Floyd and oh yeah, The Who in large Moon/Townshend doses. Check them out on Youtube for some low-fi fixes.

I'm going on Thursday. You can get a wristband at many places for $28 (which gives you access to every show at the NXNE fest), but I've heard that you can still buy tickets for specific gigs at the door at most if not all clubs. So, I'm going to get there early on Thursday and try to buy tickets.

What is an Akron Family? Are they anything like the Sutters?

No, I think Lidstom is an unbelievable defensemen and I admire his ability to play an effective game and being non-physical at the same time. I'm a fan of physical defensemen and always have been. Bourque was never one of my favourite Bruins either.

Really? I cant help but be biased towards smooth skaters. Why do you hate him? He's one of the best defensemen of this generation, but I don't like him. He plays a sneaky dirty game. I'd love to have him on my team however.

Whoa, what is Professor Poindexter doing here?

I didn't think much of it at first and I don't really care too much. Both Kelly Hrudy and the NBC crews isolated the play and said that Alfie did it deliberately. I hate Niedermayer.

TSN should keep Roenick and fire Pierre.

Jack and Meg are still working out the monster title track to the upcoming album Icky Thump, but man, this Later version is raw and powerful. I like the new country blues tune "Effect and Cause". Jools jams with them on the Get Behind Me Satan track "My Doorbell" and Jack does some nice bass work. Don't miss this band at the Ottawa bluesfest and/or every other fucking Canadian province and territory: White Stripes on Later with Jools Holland

I just picked my jaw up off the floor after watching a live trio of songs by The White Stripes on a recent Jools Holland show. Don't miss them in Ottawa. They'll bring the blues almost as heavy as Muddy.

Mad World by Gary Jules (from the Donnie Darko soundtrack) is a haunting masterpiece and better than the dated upbeat 80's original by Tears For Fears.

If you are really concerned, call the club: (416) 535-0613

Have fun today Greg. Crank up some Gourds.

I'm not going to work and will be at the show in August in T.O. If you live in the GTA and plan on hitting this sucker up, and you should, tickets are available at Rotate This for $15. I'm sure they'll add a $1.50 on top of the price, but maybe not. TM adds at least $3 as a "convenience fee", but I'm heading to Rotate This this weekend. TM is a well-know soul-sucking entity.

iTunes is a nightmare to navigate. I don't have the time for a third party to get involved and I don't even know what that means. The songs I need are: Heroes - David Bowie I Wanna Be Sedated Pretty In Pink - Psychedelic Furs Valley Girl - Frank Zappa Radio Free Europe - REM The Killing Moon - Echo & The Bunnymen How Soon Is Now - The Smiths What You Need - INXS Why Can't I Be You - The Cure Sabotage - Beasie Boys Uninvited - Alanis Morrisette Let Forever Be - The Chemical Brothers Float On - Modest Mouse

My wife came up with this brilliant idea to make a mixed CD for her friend's birthday covering tunes from every year she's been alive. I don't have all the tunes, so where's a good and easy site to download tunes for burning purposes?

"Dream Police" from Cheap Trick's Dream Police

"Distant Early Warning" from Rush's Grace Under Pressure.

"She's So Cold" off The Stones' Emotional Rescue

I like this idea for a topic and their list is pretty good. Feel free to add your own: 1. “Under Pressure†off Queen’s Hot Space 2. “This Is England†off the Clash’s Cut The Crap 3. “Eminence Front†off The Who’s It’s Hard 4. “Brownsville Girl†off Bob Dylan’s Knocked Out Loaded 5. “Hallo Spaceboy†off David Bowie’s Outside 6. “Kill Your Sons†off Lou Reed’s Sally Can’t Dance 7. “2000 Light Years from Home†off the Rolling Stones’ Their Satanic Majesties Request 8. “Goin’ Home†off Neil Young’s Are You Passionate 9. “Song For Guy†off Elton John’s A Single Man 10. “Don’t Look Back†off Boston’s Don’t Look Back 11. “Jammin’ Me†off Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ Let Me Up I’ve Had Enough 12. “Shipbuilding†off Elvis Costello’s Punch the Clock 13. “Go Let It Out†off Oasis’s Standing on the Shoulder of Giants 14. “Big Love†off Fleetwood Mac’s Tango In the Night 15. “Tonight†off Elton John’s Blue Moves 16. “Celluloid Heroes†off the Kinks’ Everybody’s in Show-Biz 17. “Country Death Song†off the Violent Femmes’ Hallowed Ground 18. “Busy Doin’ Nothin’†off the Beach Boys’ Friends 19. “Supernova†off Liz Phair’s Whip-Smart 20. “The Most Beautiful Girl in the World†off Prince’s The Gold Experience 21. “Human Touch†off Bruce Springsteen’s Human Touch 22. “Learning To Fly†off Pink Floyd’s Momentary Lapse of Reason 23. “I Don’t Want Your Love†off Duran Duran’s Big Thing 24. “Wild Wild Life†off The Talking Heads’ True Stories 25. “My Love†off Wings’ Red Rose Speedway

Davey Boy probably could fill the list with his brother's tunes.

Have a great day!

Hell and high water don't pay well.

I get double-time and a half thanks to being in a union. I'm not sure I'd get a lieu day for being off sick either, but yes, I would get paid for being sick, just not the big bucks.

I just checked and the Toronto show is on a stat holiday. That means I won't be going since I'm scheduled to work. They are a great band, I'm not passing up 2X 1/2 for 12 hours.
