  Remember when Muchmusic was cool?

Seriously folks, what the hell happened to Muchmusic?? About 12 years ago, before Rick the Temp, Much on Demand, Britney, Christina or Avril, there were really cool things going on over at the Chum building. Today it's nothing more than an Mtv/VH1 clone pandering to the top 40 bubblegum pop crowd. They used to be pretty groundbreaking back in the day, playing videos by cool bands like Eric's Trip, the Inbreds, Hayden, Weeping Tile, etc...but now they've completely lost their edge. It's a damn shame. Sure, they still play videos by Canadian bands and once in a while you see somebody cool like Sam Roberts or Pilate, but most of the time it's all garbage like Avril, Sum 41, OLP and Simple Plan. Where are the videos by exciting underground acts like The Weakerthans, The Constantines, K-OS, Broken Social Scene, or the Stills?

I also remember when they used to show full-length concerts by some of the best bands in Canada at the time. There was great stuff like the Hip live at the Misty Moon, The Northern Pikes on the Rock, and really cool festival shows like the Great Canadian Party in '92 which featured performances from Das Hips, the Grapes of Wrath, 54-40, Blue Rodeo, 13 Engines, and others. And then there was the Kumbaya Festival in '93 with the Hip (again), the Lowest of the Low, Cowboy Junkies, The Watchmen, Blue Rodeo, 54-40, and The Waltons (remember them??) And who could forget Gord singing lead vocals on Andrew Cash's "Hey Maria". It seems Muchmusic isn't interested in capturing moments like that on film anymore, which is too bad. They didn't even broadcast the Concert for Toronto for pete sakes, which was bizarre considering current "it girl" Avril Lavigne was part of the show. The only good thing left on that station is the New Music with George (whom I consider to be the only Muchmusic V-jay with any credibility whatsoever). I don't know...maybe I'm just gettin' old.

wouldn't it make sense for the hip to put out the long awaited DVD from a show where it all began?? they will have a huge pumped up crowd that would also showcase their hometown of kingston. this could be completed well in advance for x-mas.
of course they would have to do some warm up shows at small intimate venues to hone the show so the band is at its best. if anyone is listening.......this time dont forget buffalo!! {darien doesn't count} :mrgreen:

  Colin Powell's luck and year gets worse...

it would be funny to see what could go wrong after this photo op... :lol:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) will cross paths with a black cat on Friday the 13th, posing for a picture with a copper-eyed Bombay male that bears his name.



Colin Powell -- the cat -- will pay a courtesy call on the top U.S. diplomat on Friday Aug. 13 and the two will appear before photographers in the elegant Treaty Room outside the secretary of state's suite of offices at the State Department.


The feline was selected as cat of the year by the Cat Fanciers' Association, which requested, and received, time with the secretary to photograph the two Colin Powells for its 2005 yearbook cover, a State Department official said.


The association, which was founded in 1906 and calls itself the world's largest nonprofit registry of pedigreed cats, said Colin Powell competed against 22,700 other cats and was judged 290 times before winning its highest award.


The cat's owner, Sig Hauck, said he was a "very, very laid back" cat and was called "Wolfman Jack" at first because he had spiky hairs on his forearms but was later formally named Colin Powell "for patriotic reasons."


Asked why Powell would interrupt his day of dealing with foreign potentates for a feline visitor, the U.S. official said: "If you had a cat named after you that won the Cat Fanciers' Association cat of the year -- I mean that doesn't happen every day. This is recognizing a cat of outstanding ability."


Friday the 13th and having a black cat cross your path are both thought by some to bring bad luck.
