"Yeah, I'd come back and lift you up, sit back down with you, try to start all over again" -- Bedtime

"You've helped me out of so many scrapes ... And I put this on my hand forever, for you to see how you have helped me ... Thank you for your help" -- Introduce Yerself

"We were together through so much ... You got me to the only door I've got ... When I didn't even earn or deserve, When I'd never given you any help" -- Ricky Please

"You're transcendent, you taught me so many things, you taught me that help is all we to this dumb planet bring" -- Spoon

"And I could help you with all this. To help you is all there is. You show me that that's all there is, that helping is transcendence" -- Spoon

"You'll never leave me, never doubt me, never look elsewhere" -- Faith Faith

"You saved me from drowning once" -- My First Girlfriend

"You are my brothers and we've been through so much ... we fell and we fell out and we got back up" -- Love Over Money

"With constant concern, I can't help her, and I cannot help her, ..." You Me and the B's

"Like him, you listen and you care. Like him, you want to help people out, 'cause you know, you have always known, it's the true way, the only way through" -- You Are the Bird

Fully Completely producer Chris Tsangarides has passed away.

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.straight.com/music/1015116/rock-producer-chris-tsangarides-noted-his-work-thin-lizzy-and-tragically-hip-dead-61">https://www.straight.com/music/1015116/ ... ip-dead-61</a><!-- m -->

Quote:Chris Tsangarides–who produced such albums as Thin Lizzy’s Thunder and Lightning, Gary Moore’s Back on the Streets, and the Tragically Hip’s Fully Completely–died of heart failure today after battling pneumonia.

He was only 61.

Tsangarides, who specialized in hard rock, had also worked on albums by Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tygers of Pan Tang, Anvil, Girlschool, Helloween, and Concrete Blonde, to name a few.

Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi expressed his feelings on Tsangarides’ death on his Facebook page:

“I’m so saddened to hear of the passing of the Producer Chris Tsangarides – he has been a part of my life since the 70s when he worked as tape operator on the Sabbath album Sabotage and he’s worked with me on lots of other albums and stuff. What a lovely bloke he was and we always got on really well and had a great laugh too! He’ll be sadly missed. RIP my friend.”

  Introduce ourselves

Posted by: Kevala

I guess its time we introduce ourselves. I, Kevala, have been posting on this site for many years. Even before the date this "login" states (kevala), I'd say around 2002. Thank you for creating and maintaining this site.

I'd like to contribute a little something called Rock and Roll; to show my appreciation and to keep "IT" alive.
Here are some clips of our band playing at a Holiday Inn, in Sheridan, Wyoming. These nights are magical for bands; simple and intimate. We never became famous... we were lucky I guess. :wink:

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://youtu.be/BPf5aOvbJfw">https://youtu.be/BPf5aOvbJfw</a><!-- m -->

and

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://youtu.be/hIcAqp1SQC8">https://youtu.be/hIcAqp1SQC8</a><!-- m -->

Also, Eric made a DVD Movie of how our band went from highschool friends to a full blown rock band. You get to see behind the scenes of an American band. Everything is real, from where we stayed up late in erics first apartment trying out instruments. Eric never touched a guitar; ryan never sang a note. Now watch those links above.....within 2 years these guys went from noobies to natural rock stars; without the fame of course.
anyway, if you want to see it, I have a link to it online....Buy the album to go with it. It is found here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/midnight-shade/id1282645720">https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/midni ... 1282645720</a><!-- m -->

be kind, all songs were recorded in one take, except for Hometown boy and one other one....which took another try. There were a couple songs I wasn't even familiar with....but the drums are mostly an improvised instrument anyway...

Enjoy the pure nature of music.

Take care

  North America Sing-Along Tour Idea?

Posted by: Shane Kroeker

Would something like this ever be entertained by the band, and appreciated by the fans?
- Have the 4 band members head out on the road to celebrate the songs and the music with the fans.
- They play the music, and introduce the songs.
- The jumbotrons relay the lyrics for the fans to sing the words by following the bouncing ball.
- a microphone stand and top hat at the Center stage in Gord’s honour.
- Would be a great way for an arena full of fans to belt out their Hip songs in a choir of sound.
- The band could have a chance to dig deep into their full catalog. Maybe even slipping in some very deep tracks.
- Would also be a chance for the American Hip fans to “Say Goodbye” as they didn’t have a chance last tour.
- Could be a way that the Hip continue to be present veterans in the music industry, and bring along up and coming opening acts like Kasador, or conveniently, Miss Emily, Strippers Union, Paul Langlois. Or maybe this could be the beginning of Another Roadside Attraction festival reboot...
- Ticket prices could be much more reasonable for shows like this, ranging from $25 for upper deck to $70 for floor.
- A “Burning Church Choir” Inspired Tour Poster would be fitting and epic for this tour.
- Of course this would need to only be considered once the band felt “ready” and in the right mind frame, for such a venture.
- Any other ideas? Or opinions?

  Pitchfork Review of Phantom Power Removed

Pitchfork took down their review of Phantom Power. If anyone knows why they may have done so or knows where it may have been archived, I'd like to know. I tried finding it with the Wayback Machine, but couldn't. I know Pitchfork deleted all of its reviews by a reviewer named Christ Ott, but I don't know if he was the one who wrote the PP review.
