Hey Yorke. Awesome to see you here. The cyber Canuck scale is staring to come back into balance. Nice.

It's pronounced "Neev".
I'm not sure who you are/who you used to be on RS.com. Refresh my memory, please.

Question of the day: what would you say are the primary (i.e., most salient) characteristics that differentiate Canadians from Southern Californians?..........OK, start..............

Oh god, the Canadian hegemony will be back before we know it! Luckily with the great beer they manufacture there and little will to resist, ½ the time they'll all be too cool(well....drunk actually) for the rest of us to resent it!  Ha-HAAAAA! Oh, and RitPants there's about 3 small bitty Baltic States and the Bay Of Finland that lie actually south of Finland to get to Poland....Bow actually called you guys Sweden when he said 'west'. Congrats on the 'Saskatchewan', BTW Mistah Glouism! ;D ~ Oh and.... |

Read this just this morning...but my wife's babay shower is tomorrow afternoon AND we're going to see a jazz band that a friend of ours leads and plays bass for tomorrow night...ah well.TEXT
SLOAN
Saturday 5/22, Metro
Few rock bands have flouted pop culture's Darwinist maxim "keep moving or die" as successfully as Canada's Sloan. Over the course of seven studio albums in more than a dozen years, the Toronto-via-Halifax quartet has expended practically no energy changing its power-pop formula. Of course, that's partly because they hit on a winning combination so early in their career: since stripping away the too obvious Beatles influence of their first efforts, they've deftly synthesized Beach Boys harmonies, Thin Lizzy arena-rock hooks, and the Raspberries' MOR pop. Greatness seems to be off the table at this point, but they've never released a bad album, and when they're on ("C'mon C'mon" on 1998's Navy Blues, say, or "Don't You Believe a Word" on 1999's Between the Bridges) they casually stack up the kind of sharp, compelling riffs that most indie popsters jealously ration out, one per song. The high points on the band's new Koch album, Action Pact ("False Alarm," "I Was Wrong"), are stronger than anything else in their catalog--Sloan may be something of a one-trick pony, but they're still getting better at that trick. The Kicks (see Spot Check) open. 18+. Saturday, May 22, 9 PM, Metro, 3730 North Clark; 773-549-0203 or 312-559-1212. --MARK ATHITAKIS

Philly, Tampa, either way it doesn't matter - Calgary'll have their number. Destiny man, destiny!
Salient characteristics that distinguish Cali denizens from Hali denizens? People from Cali don't drink Alexander Keith's!
Welcome back, niamh!

Oh, it's question Shaney boy. I was wondering who that was. Hey!
Boy am I glad this temp site was made up. I was going to freak out having no say until the summer. Who started this RS.com castaway thing anyway? RS themselves?

Strat-O started it, I believe. At least he's the moderator of these boards.
