  1. yeah buckley is better than hawksley workman maybe but I also wouldn't call his music 'pop'

    I'd run Elton John up against George Michael(man that could lead into some great gay jokes)

    Freddie was a king amongst vocalists but for pop...even Michael Jackson maybe...

  2. I don't think that the new KoL is heading in a 80's brit pop direction really...it's got it's boppy little tunes but on the whole it's way too southern rock sounding....less cocky more rocky? Killers are more style over substance...

    That little solo at the end of Crawl kicks, and the drums really slide instead of that 80's brit-jamaican beat...

    Personally i think they sounds more like Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello's bastard child..

  3. there's a pet store called Petcetera that I always read as Peter Cetera...you're the meaning in my life...you're the inspir-a-tion....

    Oh yeah, Chicago. Don't stop in fox lake on the way back from Alpine. facking cops.

  4. Yeah it's a buddy of mine I grew up with in Owen SOund - we used to make a zine in highschool, he's always had the nuttiest sense of humour. I have a huge collection of his stickers still, they were so facking funny...I sent him a webcam pic of me from the studio I was at one day when we lived together and he brought home a freaking roll of stickers with my face on them and 'THEY CALLED HIM TUNGSTENGRUVSTEN' written above and below....the next day! fucking hilariousness on tap.

    There are hundreds of them, I think most of them still catalogued on his site...

    Handing them out at Phish concerts was priceless -Fun Sucks, I -heart- Randy Benders and Certified Fuckalicious all got killer reactions from shock to stun...

    And if I know Daryl, that's 'Shove yer cell phone up your arse!'

    My favourite stories out of all the stickers:

    the '99cents...that's fuckin cheap!' small stickers we took to the liquor store and stuck on random stuff then browsed till the shit hit the fan...

    the highschool students in New Brunswick who wrote in and said they loved his stickers...so he made one up with a picture of their principal on it and sent them a roll!

    The stickers with real looking bank logos that we stuck on ATM's all over kitchener that said 'An additional $1 charge will be added to this transaction to help fund the Corporate Christmas Party' !!! that one made the papers...

    The bars in Owen Sound, Kitchener, Guelph, Toronto(Sneaky's still has some on the walls in the washroom) where a bunch of us would hang out and just plaster the place with stickers...the cigarette coffee cans that used to be on the tables at Hillside were covered with them for years!

    ...alot of the pictures of the people or last names and stuff were friends of ours-lots of custom stickers cranked out just for laughs...christ!

    Check out Glurt.org - his comic rewrite of Sally Forth(Sullen Froth) is hilarious and crazy...drop him a line, he'll send you funny shit!

  5. Most of Disco is at 120 bpm! it's the human heartbeat...pulse perfect, tuned to the human body. Actually, a lot of it is at 122-130 bpm, at least most of the cool stuff...but there are some gems...

    Kool and the Gang - Celebration

    Melba Moore - This Is It

    Deodato - Whistle bump

    Harold Melvin - Don't Leave Me This Way

    Jimmy Horne - Spank

    ...that's just personal preference.

    If you are looking for stuff online, it will be filed by BPM by DJ's, or fitness instructors - Here's a disc I found with a quick search for 120 bpm fitness disc:
