I'm going there on Aug 9-13. I love the city and this will be my third time. Does anyone have any suggestions for things to see, other than the usual ones?

I wish I would have read this article before I decided to go to this f%$#ing S%&T-hole city!

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.autospies.com/news/Canadian-theft-rings-scooping-up-American-cars-6798/">http://www.autospies.com/news/Canadian- ... cars-6798/</a><!-- m -->

This was my first and LAST trip to Montreal. My brand new car was stolen from the "secure" parking ramp under the Delta Montreal.

According to the article above, the police seem helpless. I guess this is just an example of cowardly, ultra-liberal French culture. Allowing an auto theft ring to thrive in this city and have no control at all.

It took over an hour for the 2 bitch cops to even show up. The On-star was disconnected and it was probably out of the country on a ship.

Good job Montreal police and government! Keep up the incompetent work!

I lost my entire Hip CD collection including the the DVD box set.

I'll keep my vacationing to the safer, U.S. and advise every American I speak to, to never go to Montreal.

P.S. Your smoked meat tastes like crap and your bagels are stale and dry and fries with cheese and gravy????

I'll stick to my chicken wings, thank you.

This topic came up in the Tragically Hip Discussion Thread, and i figured it would be a great compilation CD for the diehard Hip fans.

If anyone with a deep Hip bootleg collection would like to tackle this project of compiling some of the songs listed in the above thread, post here or send me a PM. I think it would be neat to see the fake titles on the album cover art. Also, post here if you have the copies of the songs listed in that thread. Once compiled, we would of course upload it to the tracker for all fans to download!

  Martime Music - Best of The New Bands.

Being out west we are stuck with crap bands all trying to sound like Nickelback.

When i used to work in radio out here a certain rock station would run its home grown music contest... most bands would be a Nickelback clone or be as bad as the Armchair Cynics.... but that didn't stop the judges from choosing them to be the best of the best or in my opinion teh best of the worst.

So what i am getting at is Music from BC sucks and that the good bands out here hardly get noticed. It seems like it's a different story out east.

The music coming out of the Maritimes is excellent.

Matt Mays & El Torpedo, The Novaks, The Trews and now i have come across In-Flight Safety. While at times they sound like Coldplay their sound is such a refreshing change from the crap we are producing out here.

I would definitely check them out.

Can anyone out there recommend any other new Maritime rock, roots rock or alt-country bands that are worth checking out?

Radio in Vancouver wont give them the time of day as they are too busy trying to break the next Nickelback.

Hey Everyone,

If you could only attend 1 of the following 2 Hip concerts listed below, which would it be and why?

Concert 1: The last song from each of the Hip's albums:
Opiated, Gems, Eldorado, Impossibilium, Put it Off, Emperor Penguin, Pines, Dark Canuck, Josephine.

or

Concert 2: The second last song from each album:
Another Midnight, Fiddler's Green, Wherewithal, Titanic Terrarium, Sherpa, Escape, The Bear, Dire Wolf, Are We Family.

Either would be AMAZING but I'm just curious which one you would pick.

  Examples of our shitty "justice" system

EDMONTON (CP) _ Two young Edmonton men have been sentenced to prison for a night of rampaging violence that left a man dead and a woman severely injured.
Provincial court Judge Clayton Spence told a packed courtroom Friday that Benjamin Nepoose, 20, and Adam Scoville, 19, deserved long sentences for the Sept. 20, 2005 attacks.
But the judge said he reduced their time in prison so as ``to not crush the spirit of the accused.'' Spence said he also gave the men credit for their guilty pleas, youth and background.
Nepoose, who earlier pleaded guilty to manslaughter and aggravated assault, was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Scoville, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter, was sentenced to nine years in prison. Both men were given credit for the time they spent in pre-trial custody.
Outside court, Shannon and Carol Jacobs, sisters of victim Adrian Jacobs, said they were upset with the sentences and vowed to check up personally on the two killers when they have parole hearings.
``It's shocking,'' said a visibly upset Carol Jacobs. ``We expected 12 to 14 years. Ten is not enough.''
Shannon echoed her sister's comments, saying she had hoped for the maximum punishment possible.
``They took away my brother's life,'' she sobbed.
Court heard Nepoose, Scoville and a 13-year-old youth had shared three 40-ounce bottles of malt liquor and some of them had taken either Valium or Tylenol 4s the night of Sept. 20.
Court heard the trio were on their way to a liquor store in the city's north end when Nepoose picked up a cinder block, smashed it into smaller pieces and said, ``Nobody can mess with us now.''
The three came across Tanya Powder, 21, and a cousin. Words were exchanged and Powder hit the youth in the face for unknown reasons. Powder was then attacked and the youth stabbed her four times. Nepoose then hit Powder in the head with a piece of the cinder block.
Powder had a heart attack at the scene and nearly died. She spent almost a month in hospital recovering from a collapsed lung, fractured sinus bones above her eyebrows, a probable concussion and stab wounds to the chest and armpit.
Twenty minutes later, the three ran into Jacobs. Words were exchanged and they met up in the centre of the road. Jacobs was punched, kicked and stabbed 21 times during the beating. He managed to escape, but died less than a block away of blood loss.
Neither of the victims were known to the attackers.
The youth, now 14, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced on June 5 to two years in custody followed by one year of supervision.

I saw a RSS feed from RS that had a lot of Zep articles and I thought some might find them interesting net fodder. You can even read the original RS album reviews.
