The guitarist from The Headstones is involved in this--but I don't know any of the other musicians.

Heard on the radio this morning only the northbound DVP will be closed now...

Well, that wasn't the reason, but I guess we have to now.

Yay! ::

Excellent suggestions...!

I should have known he had no taste--he asked me to purchase the "World Cup of Hockey '04" cd for him because they didn't sell it in the U.S. He claims that he only wanted it for "50 Mission Cap", but I think he's in it for the Sum 41.

Are you guys planning a party for me? Is that it?

I'll pretend to be surprised, I promise.

So I have a friend in the U.S. who commented to me that "The Tea" (his phrase, not mine) and Our Lady Peace are great Canadian bands.

I was, naturally, appalled by this notion. He said they're much better than the usual crap on MTV (which may be true, but it's sad to think that's what represents good Canadian music).

Anyway, he asked me to enlighten him as to some good Canadian bands.

So I started a list, but I need help. Please post your ideas here. Thanks! Perhaps we can help this poor soul!

If anyone talks to moe., can someone please ask if they're ever going to play "Awesome Gary" again? I miss that song.

Thanks!

"We Built This City" is a perfect example of a WSE--it's horrible and yet you can't get it out of your head!

What's worse, there are "Book City" bookstores all over the place and often my internal jukebox will start playing "We Built this Book City..." whenever I walk by one. Boo! Boo!

Evidently, Kerry has now conceded.

The world is fu©ked.

Thanks for posting the whole setlist, Bouche--useful info!

I reserve the right to think they're tools, though. Their message urging fans to become glowstick vigilantes sealed the deal for me...

"We've reached a point where we're either going to need the audience to help us police this behavior or we're going to need to hire more security on a nightly basis. We'd hope that we can make the former work because the latter would certainly be a disappointing choice to have to make. "

Bahahahahhahahahahha!

Dear Umphrey's,

There's a world of difference between an off-beat sense of "humour" (see: Songs For Older Women) and making light of child abuse. Let's ask a few abuse survivors how funny they think it is. Hey, let's get 'em all in a room and have you play your little medley for them and see how it goes over!!!

I find it telling that your "apology" is about a quarter the length of your long-winded tome admonishing your fans about the dangers of bringing glowsticks to shows...let's bring that one back! It was much funnier than Celebrity Criminal Celebration!

The more messages I read from Umphrey's, the more I see their faces when I click on my "Tools" taskbar...

Love,

Julia

FYI, this is currently scheduled for a May 6th release..

There's a respectable array of sh!tty-ass songs listed here...I think we should discuss the criteria for "WORSE SONGS EVER".

I mean, there are a lot of stank-ass songs out there--utter crap performed by no-talent-ass-clowns or, subjectively, stuff that just isn't your particular cup o' tea. So I think we should set a few parameters in compiling the definitive "Worst Song Ever" list.

My contribution to the list of criteria would have to be the fact that all the very worst songs tend to be consistent in one regard--they're insidious and almost impossible to get out of your head!

And, while I'm here, I'd like to add a song to the list: Walk Like An Egyptian. What the hell is the point? There's nothing redeeming about this song! And its annoying as hell! And what's more annoying than a sh!tty song? A sh!tty song with an irritating dance that accompanies it!!! (See: Macarena for further info on this phenomenon)....

You are correct, thatpatguy...but I don't know yours..

Where are we? Did we solve everything up for guessing?

Hmmm...okay, here's one to guess:

I even caught myself driving by convenience stores...that weren't on the way home.

I secretly love Hanson (especially that MmmmBop! song--it's so catchy!)

My other deep, dark secret is that I used to do competitive synchronized swimming--oh the shame!!

Burns: I don't get it, Simpson. I'm a bad boy.

Homer: Oh, I know.

Burns: I'm absolutely evil.

Bart: You're preaching to the choir, man.

Burns: What do I have to do, grow a devil beard?

Marge: Devil beard?

Burns: You know, a little goatee thing.

Homer: You mean a Van Dyke?

Burns: No, a Van Dyke has a moustache, doesn't it?

Lisa: I think it can.

Bart: Are you talking about a soul patch?

Burns: No! Wait, maybe.

Then there's the ever popular H & B (the "Hump 'n' Bump"), but I won't go into details, it's not *that* kind of forum...

I also sport a kicky bandana! (see photo)

Dear StoneMtn,

Are you new?

Hahaha..j/k..

Bumping is done so that the thread will return to the top of the page so everyone's forced to see it there and are inexplicably compelled to open it and read it...

In other news, I was highly disappointed to meet Jaydawg and realize he looks NOTHING like Chewbacca.

I'm always looking for the opportunity to use the phrase "Punch it Chewie", but, alas, 'twas not to be....

marco, i think they should put your face on money.

Cuz he's so money? Or cuz he's a dead white guy? Or cuz he's more fun than a barrel full o' beavers? Help me out here!

I have an almost insatiable urge to kick Emeril in the nuts..

I'm nut sure why, but it's a good thing he lives so far away or BAM! I'd kick HIM up a notch...in the crotch...

"Sniff" (aka The Bag-Sniffers' Anthem)

I'm up and I can take what you give

And I'm here and I want you to live with me

`Cause I'll sniff your bag for free...

I gotta go with James Barber--I just *love* him! He's so adorable!

I wish he was my grandpa.

Anyway, the thing I like about him is the practicality of his cooking (and, really, his pragmatic cooking philosophies).

"It's your kitchen--use what you've got!"

For the inexperienced cook, this may be a daunting credo, but James Barber cooks in such a way that he provides you many options in recipes, and, in doing so, teaches you the basics of cooking: "If you haven't got wine, use apple juice. If you haven't got apple juice, use water. It's your kitchen! Use what you've got!"

He also gives great, basic, common sense-type tips that are useful to cooks at all skill levels.

As for recipes, I'm vegetarian, and I'm not really familiar with any "celebrity" vegetarian cooks. I once watched a "vegetarian" cooking show and they were using chicken stock, which pretty much turned me (and the TV) off.
