the show at kool haus a bunch of years ago was facking hilarious...

really. Can't believe it. This video of album covers from the 70's to 90's interacting......where is the jaw-dropping smiley?

Deeps - just a heads up - I had this open at work and 4 out of 5 employees thought "Thunder in Browntown" was gonna be a story about a massive shit.

I love "I Will Sing You Songs".

I can't wait til "Off The Record", a song that never really does it in the studio....

I fuggin' love that song on the album!! Definitely a cranker in the car....the way it disintegrates into the the laid back drum machine beat jam at the end is so wicked.

liberty city? I thought it was the Royal City...either way should be a fun night.

yup. mixed glee/sadness at scoring good seats to this. don't think i've ever bought a 'seat' at a rheos show...

Every single Black Belt Jones movie.

And a second for 'Hero' (visually stunning) and 'Kung Fu Hustle' - which was a suprise(I was expecting a movie like 'They Still Call Me Bruce')

hmmmmm big tie between them at Hillside in '92 playing on their own and then backing Jane Siberry, and a show in 2004 at the Starlight that lasted 3 hours with a walking-through-the-crowd acoustic "peas and rice" as the ending...

Actually, it was already released on CD - I got one from chocodog years ago before it sold out.

Missed that show....I was hating the country ween at the time.

funny - had a hip-hop session on the go last night, we took a break and turned it on just in time to see Hulk Hogan's daughter win 'best grille' award(wtf indeed...not that I have a clue whose is best but c'mon...) and watched the Federation's bit. Afterwards the MC i'm recording said 'oh fuck, this is the demise of hip-hop...' I mean really it's been steadily watered down and declining but that was the death rattle...

hose it down with wd40 - they won't come back....

yeah cause lollapalooza doesn't repeat itself in entirety until the virgin island festival in TO and the montreal festival....

lovin it. Y'know, since 'the cult of ray' i'm pretty sure i've seriously dug every one of his solo releases. Much more solid song-to-song than the average pixies disc even.

Might be time to go on a frank black bender...Maybe i can time my drywalling so it's done in 8 albums...

Happy b-day mr. man!

what where when in guelph?

The bulk of music journalism is just so repetitive and ill conceived, based on cursory reads of bios and stilted email interviews. It's a fucking crock and Exclaim! as great as it's getting just doesn't have balls. Forget about Chartattack. Pitchfork is for intellectual tyrants and I should know. Hence this media our media makes me proud at times at least for the intense engagement we have with one another and the musical community.

please tell me then your review(s) aren't destined for Echo's stagnant pages.....

there was a certain point I was hazily pondering which musicians bi-pedal ornament would meet your solar plexus this year and mentally voted Ian Blurton so it must've been after or during C'mon's set...funny as I had the conversation with a couple people who were pondering vaguely the same thing. Is getting booted out worse than getting booted? Less physical than philisophical I guess.

sorry we missed it Deeps - Did some damage thursday night...I was in rough shape friday - worked a part day and could barely stay standing for claypool....

les even made fun of it stating that it was the 'matinee' performance...I remember missing a TMBG show a couple years ago under similar circumstances...I missed the first couple notes but got in just in time. Fun show, couple primus teases but no tunes, and two of the most amazing drummers ever...they never stopped!! The one played a full kit...very full kit, and the other had vibes, tablas, toms, hand drums, craziness! Also the first time I've ever seen anyone pull off a distorted guitar solo on a ukelele....

Damo's unfortunate role in Can was that of flailing about and channeling yoko ono and flopping his hair about. I mean really, I'd rather see Holger Czukay play the friggin' shortwave radio than sit through 2 hours of Damo. The real reason to go is the magic assembly of musicians that always seem to be part of it.

I mean really, a Japanese guy, singing in Broken English, fronting a krautrock band. Sheesh.

And if no one has heard Can send me blanks and I will mail a 2 disc best of I compiled. Seriously, the shit.

Fifty-fifty! are you kidding me? That is the aural equivalent of a merry go round on acid....not you on acid, the merry go round! The organ solo in the middle of that(and the guitar solo after it) are friggin' brilliant. Took awhile to grow on me as the vocals are outta control but it's there.

How about 'I have been in You' from Sheik Yerbouti? That's a Zappa dog for sure...

The winner is priceless...

Hey Basher, up till today it was just a vague conversation about vaginas....

Ok, I remember talking to Ms. Hux about this on Canada Day, just remembered today to put the link up...bit of video humour for a monday...

Fat cock? Oil?
