It seems that Liam has issues with his stand as well...

Someone at chartattack.com/gallery Wrote:[Image: 20060620-oasis.jpg]
With Oasis trashing every British band on the planet, there's no one left for Liam Gallagher to offend. That's why at his recent Toronto show he decided to let the one thing he knows won't fight back have it - the microphone stand. "I'm gonna fookin' nail you with this tambourine," he was overheard saying to the defenseless stand. Instead of hitting his mic though, he decided to just stare it down for the rest of the concert.

"March of the Penguins", narrated by Morgan Freeman, is getting limited release in the US starting this week. the movie focuses on the rituals of our friend the, Emperor Penguin. kind of eerie how closely this movie preview relates back to the lyrics... might be worth a watch - it is getting incredible reviews.

March of the Penguins (La Marche de L'Empereur) (G); Limited release

Each winter, alone in the pitiless ice deserts of Antarctica, deep in the most inhospitable terrain on Earth, a truly remarkable journey takes place as it has done for millennia. Emperor penguins in their thousands abandon the deep blue security of their ocean home and clamber onto the frozen ice to begin their long journey into a region so bleak, so extreme, it supports no other wildlife at this time of year. In single file, the penguins march blinded by blizzards, buffeted by gale force winds. Guided by instinct, by the otherworldly radiance of the Southern Cross, they head unerringly for their traditional breeding ground where--after a ritual courtship of intricate dances and delicate maneuvering, accompanied by a cacophony of ecstatic song--they will pair off into monogamous couples and mate. The females remain long enough only to lay a single egg. Once this is accomplished, exhausted by weeks without nourishment, they begin their return journey across the ice-field to the fish-filled seas. The male emperors are left behind to guard and hatch the precious eggs, which they cradle at all times on top of their feet. After two long months during which the males eat nothing, the eggs begin to hatch. Once they have emerged into their ghostly white new world, the chicks can not survive for long on their fathers' limited food reserves. If their mothers are late returning from the ocean with food, the newly-hatched young will die. Once the families are reunited, the roles reverse, the mothers remaining with their new young while their mates head, exhausted and starved, for the sea, and food. While the adults fish, the chicks face the ever-present threat of attack by prowling giant petrels. As the weather grows warmer and the ice floes finally begin to crack and melt, the adults will repeat their arduous journey countless times, marching many hundreds of miles over some of the most treacherous territory on Earth, until the chicks are ready to take their first faltering dive into the deep blue waters of the Antarctic.

Starring: Emperor Penquins, narrated by Morgan Freeman
Director(s): Luc Jacquet

So I had a baby girl the other day, named Ireland, see picture below,

In the delivery room, the nurse asks the Dr. "Is the cervix dilated"

Dr. checks and says, "Fully"

To which I added........."Completely"

My wife, a huge Hip fan like me, starts laughing hysterically.

Dr. and nurse look at each other in utter confusion.

It was classic and a nice tension breaker at that.

Who could, or would, replace him? If they would replace him.
Recent conversations about replacing members of other bands made me think - What if the tone, style all changed, even just a bit with the boys, due to the fact that there is a new band member..

Who could fill those boots...(and red leather pants..)

Anybody else here a fan of this band, or ever heard of them? This is one of those bands that you think your the only one who likes them and you feel special. I happened to see them open for I Mother Earth a couple years ago, they put on a really good set and I was impressed right away, I thought to myself these guys might do well, at least here in Canada. I guess nobody took notice and they seem to have faded away unfortunately. I emailed universal music Canada (their new label) and was told they were working on material but other than that I have no clue whats happening. I assume they broke up. But I have their one and only self-titled album, I really enjoy this album, I listen to it quite regularly. If anyone has never heard them and wants to download some songs, Id suggest the following:

what if I dont
born yesterday
hollow
brand new day
multiply
drift
beside me

Its your typical mainstream Canadian rock, but its catchy and very listenable, you might like it or hate it, whatever. Here is a link to their only video for "save me" <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.umusic.ca/site/web/media/videos.php">http://www.umusic.ca/site/web/media/videos.php</a><!-- m -->
(you have to scroll down almost halfway to find it)

Here's their old webpage: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://hollywoodrecords.go.com/fortyfootecho/">http://hollywoodrecords.go.com/fortyfootecho/</a><!-- m -->

I know that I'll catch a lot of flack for this, but being a long time BNL fan, I couldn't resist grabbing Steven Page's solo effort The Vanity Project. Wow. Lots of wow. All the lush vocals without the silliness. It really is a must have, in my opinion. I love the man's voice, and it is so well displayed on this recording. Great, great stuff. :thumb:

Thanks for the help guys! I think they sound alright!

Quick bio

Quote:Floor Thirteen is a four-piece rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, bringing back honest rock and roll with their high energy driving sound. Yet they come at you in a different way with a bold, fresh, new approach. The vocals carry a savvy, in your face attitude that truly speaks to their audience. The live show is driven by the captivating front man Jeremy Kozielec, better known as KOZ. He definitely will get your ass up and onto the dance floor. Marc on guitar, Aaron on bass and Billy on drums round out this quartet's sound together with the KOZ. With a whole lot of rock mixed with a little roll, you get the uniquely infectious Floor Thirteen.
