Chemical Bros opening for Oakenfold? Something is definately wrong with that scene. You've gotta listen to 4-6 hours of cheeze ass trance, while sitting down, after listening to the chemical bros. bang it out? Wierdness. Have fun...the chemical bros throw down with the best of'em.

sorry for being such a computer moron but how does DirectConnect work? How do I hook up? How do I get from DirectConnect to your site? Any way you can fill me in would be helpful. thanx.

Such a shame for the fans. Wish the boys all the best in the future and thanx for helping to spread the love, especially here in Canada. I'll be getting down on Friday!

I'm not sure when I'm departing from Ottawa but I wouldn't mind meeting up with all the skanktuarians for a pre-show bevie or two. i might have space in my car if anyone needs a ride.

keep me in touch with all the plans.

Dude, you are always coming through with the sweetest music links. i'm fully getting down to a great video of Moe. as I write this. awwwwesum!

thanx

Nice Job double B... keep'em comin'! Looks like we can look forward to lots more fun in the near future. I'm hopin drums'n'tuba works out cuz that is a band I'm real curious about. I gotta say that i'm already missin' Deckuf. Something should be done to work out whatever differences may exist cuz it is way too sweet a room to let go of.

Hey Howler,

I was just going over some biz contacts and I found a card from a girl who mentioned that she does t-shirts. Their company is called Generation Promotions & Design. The name is Yazmin Silver and her contact info is yaz.silver@gdpcanada.com. Phone (613)565-5888 and they are located at 371B Somerset St. West.

Hope this can help you out! -j

Hey Dave,

just go to admission.com. My tix arrived in 3 days. no troubs.

Just got my tickets in the mail. I'm driving up on Sunday but not sure what the plans are. I might go back after the show but I wouldn't mind getting silly...school the next day is an issue! The New Deal opening up should ensure for a funky night of tunes. who's down?

Hey Howler,

I know a guy in Brockville I can hook you up with. His prices are ok but he isn't the best out there. Depends how complicated the designs are.

Thanks for the advice all!! I ended up going with Pavarazzi's. Damn fine pie, thanx Bug!! I'm looking forward to trying out all the others in the future ('cept Pizza Hut, damn Bouche...trying to feed an ulcer?).

I'm down with that show.

Lay it on me folks. who makes the best pie in town (and where are they located)? I'm getting hungry.

now that is what i'm talking about. The kids on this board never steer me wrong musically...it might not always be my thing but anything recommended on this board is bound to be interesting. Thanx

Man, ever since I saw the line up I've just been imagining all the special guests and collaborations that are bound to go down. This I'm sure is gonna be massive with too much good music to choose from. I have mixed emotions about the big-ass festivals but let's hope they do this right and it goes off well.

Anyone else up for a side trip to Graceland?

all right... just checked the official announcement!! The wait is finally over. Not to worry, Moe. and NM Allstars and everyone else you might wanna see are there.

Looks damn fine.

Not bad. If i'm in the mood for country,which happens from time to time i'll look into these cats. Can you recommend any other good folk country albums i should listen to. I've been digging lots of John Prine, Johnny Cash, Woody Guthrie and Nancy Griffith just to give you an idea of the style i'm looking for. thanx

ps. Nancy Griffith's album Other Voices/Other Rooms has been a staple in my rotation for a few years now...If you haven't checked it out i'ld have to recommend it.

No mention of Moe.. I kinda hope they are included just cuz i can't get enough. Sounds like a wicked line up.

Hey Man,

I have a nephew who is 15 and is just starting to "get" the whole Phish thing. He's always after me to make him a mixed tape but I prefer to give him whole shows. It's kind of a way to let songs that you might not like at first grow on you. I know it took me a while to warm up to a lot of the phish eccentricities which I now love dearly.

I always play a newbie a killer YEM, may I suggest the one with Santana from 7.25.92. Throw on the Llama and the Funky Bitch as well. I usually try to include a Gamehenge tune or two as well so go for the AC/DC Bag from Boise, 9.14.99 or the one to open set II 8.9.98. Any version of Cavern with horns is always a good thing.

And of course ya gots to throw in some funk...I'm thinking fall 97...the palace, 12.6.97...Tweezer>Izabella. Throwing on a ASZ is always cool to cuz the newbies recognize the theme but the groove is new to them

If you have 11.22.97 i feel you really owe it to the kid to burn him a copy of the whole show. you gotta pass the funk on to the next generation.

Hope this gives you a few ideas

Nice work on the mag! I couldn't help but be surprised at a few bands that weren't mentioned, namely Grand Theft Bus, Downtime and of course Burt Nielson Band. No doubt these bands will be covered in future issues but I was surprised that they were barely mentioned in the cherry issue. These three bands are definately in the top 5 Canadian jambands on the scene (depending on if you count The New Deal as part of the scene). Lots of talk about Caution Jam who are an average cover band on their best nights. All in all a great read and i'm looking forward to reading the next issue.

ps. the article on Neil Young summed up my feelings perfectly.

pps. Downtime's bass player should definately be on the olympic roster. Same with BNB's keyboard player.

Dude,

that is an ultra-dank bus. That would definately help to make the trip smooth. Bus load of heads super psyched to see a killer show sounds like it could be a damn fine trip.

If i can finish writing a couple of papers in time then i'll be down with whatever ride sharin' arrangements can be worked out. i'll keep ya posted.

thanks h! ruin the fucking movie for me!! grrr.

I haven't heard any rumours about this show at all. Where can I hear more about this supposed show (apart from waiting 8 days)? If half of those bands you mentioned show up then I'm gonna have to make the hike. How far is Tennessee?

How was this show Weezy? I've heard some of Farheed Haque's Blue Note album where he covers CSNY's Deja Vu. This guy was playing all the different vocal harmonies on his guitar...very impressive. I'm looking forward to hearing your report.
