Saw a truck in Toronto this morning for a lighting company, "Nadir Fluorescent"

'crisis of faith and crisis in the Kremlin'

Just got the email a few minutes ago, June 9th.

Joel Plasket Emergency in a Ship that looks like a bar, going to be deadly!

I realize this is a little late (almost a week), but I searched and it doesn't appear anyone started a thread in honor of the late, great Levon Helm.

The Band are right up there with the Tragically Hip and Neil Young as my favorite Canadian artists of all time (okay, the Band was actually only 4/5 Canadian, with Helm as the one American--but I still consider them Canadian, for what it's worth). Levon was the heart and soul of the Band, and sang lead on so many of their best songs ("The Weight", "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," "Up on Cripple Creek," "Don't Do It", to name a few).

For the last week, the Band has been on heavy rotation in my car and house, and I've also been listening to Levon's two tremendous recent solo albums, Dirt Farmer and Electric Dirt. Despite nearly losing his voice, he sings with incredible feeling and passion on both of these solo records.

Anyway, rest in peace Levon: you will be sorely missed, but your music will live forever.

Magazines The Hip have made the cover....

Here's a few I've collected over the years...

The new Skydiggers album is out! The massive 4-disc deluxe edition looks pretty awesome:

I've found a really good Hip set on my hard drive. But I don't know what it is!

I seem to remember it was a time-limited, legitimate download from no more than five years ago. I want to put it with the rest of my music collection but -- sorry, I know this is really anal of me -- I don't know what to call it...

If it's NOT legitimate -- I'm not sure what Hip's rules are, to be honest -- someone please tell me and I'll remove this post.

Anyway, it's a live, not-quite-unplugged set played in front of what sounds like a small audience.

The set list goes:

1. Poets
2 .Get Back Again
3. Every Irrelevance
4. Butts Wigglin' (it's said that this has been requested).
5. Fireworks
6. Long Time Running
7. Pigeon Camera
8. Scared
9. Bobcageon
10. Grace, Too
11. Radio Show
12. Membership
13. Flamenco
14. Wheat Kings
15. Thompson Girls
16. We'll Go Too

Any help greatfully appreciated.

Membership (acoustic)
8-12-1998
River Music Hall
Haverhill, Massachusetts

This was a recording session for a radio performance I believe.
This take on Membership includes a "mess up" by Paul that gets Gord's goat and they have to start over.


And with a thanx to Chris, Chris some of my older downloads can be found here when the sites back up:
