I received this sad message today:

We are deeply saddened to confirm the passing of singer-songwriter, guitarist, and recording artist Chris Whitley. Chris was a kind man and immensely talented artist whose music has become an intimate part of many of our lives. We are pained to acknowledge this loss and we grieve along with those who knew and loved him and his music. -- Brandon Kessler, Messenger Records


Chris Whitley (1960-2005)


Singer/songwriter and guitarist Chris Whitley passed away of lung cancer on Sunday, Nov. 20, in Houston, Texas, at age 45.
------------------------------------------------------------------

He was an amazing and unique musician and a really cool guy. I'm glad I had the pleasure of meeting him once and seeing him play live a handful of times. You can go to his web site for more info on his life and his music.

Hollywood, BitTorrent reach anti-piracy deal
Nov. 22, 2005. 08:47 PM
GARY GENTILE
ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — In a deal aimed at reducing illegal Internet traffic in pirated films, Hollywood reached an agreement Tuesday with the creator of the popular file-sharing software BitTorrent.
The agreement requires 30-year-old software designer Bram Cohen to prevent his website, bittorrent.com, from locating pirated versions of popular movies, effectively frustrating people who search for illegal copies of films.
BitTorrent must remove web links leading to illegal content owned by the seven studios that are members of the Motion Picture Association of America.
"BitTorrent Inc. discourages the use of its technology for distributing films without a licence to do so," Cohen said in the statement. "As such, we are pleased to work with the film industry to remove unauthorized content from bittorrent.com's search engine."
MPAA chief executive Dan Glickman declared, "They're leading the way for other companies by their example."
The agreement represents the latest effort by the entertainment industry to discourage illegal Internet downloads. It also demonstrates Cohen's sensitivity toward Hollywood's piracy problems, making him potentially more attractive to studios for future deals related to movie downloads.
Cohen disclosed in September his company had raised $8.75 million (U.S.) in venture funding to develop commercial distribution tools for media companies.
The BitTorrent technology pioneered by Cohen — and used by an estimated 45 million people — assembles digital movies and other computer files from separate bits of data downloaded from other computer users across the Internet. Its decentralized nature makes downloading more efficient but also frustrates the entertainment industry's efforts to find and identify movie pirates.
The agreement with Cohen would not prevent determined Internet users from finding movies or other materials using tools or websites other than Cohen's, but it removes one of the most convenient methods people have used.

I wonder if Record companies will follow suit? I sure as heck didn't know that 45 Million people used Bit Torrent software!

I googled "msn explorer mac" - check out the third result.

And here's a picture of what MSN looks like if you use Microsoft's Internet Explorer for Mac to view it:

"TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A female teacher whose sexual liaisons with a 14-year-old middle school student made tabloid headlines has avoided prison time by pleading guilty to having sex with the boy in a classroom and at her home."

So... uh... I had teachers whose teeth hadn't been brushed since the Diefenbaker administration. Lucky punk.

I don't know what it is, but I can't get it out of my head. At first I hated the thing, especially Gord's fluctuation... but now I find myself wanting to gnash my teeth together and sing aggressively along with him.

The guitars, especially that nifty whammy bar thing at the end of the rif, is also growing on me.

As somebody once said: Like fine wine.

In my search of threads to verbally assault the poster family for Canadian Tire's commercial campaign, I noticed a resounding hatred throughout our community. However, I felt that our efforts were far too scattered to really capture the essence of our distain. So I've taken the liberty of dedicating an entire thread to these wankers...

I think we should all come up with our own commercial scenarios and then we can select the best one and submit it on behalf of the Hipbase to the Canadian Tire Marketing Department for consideration...all proceeds from the royalties will go to our funding of a private Hip concert for us.

Pan over to CTGuy opening up the trunk of his car and pulling something out of his Canadian Tire bag.....and enter neighbour stage right.

Neighbour: Hey there friend...whatcha got there???

CTGuy: Oh these?...these are shit tickets!!

Neighbour: Shit tickets??? what are those for???

CTGuy: Well they're for wiping your ass after you take a dump.

Neighbour: REALLY!! You mean I've been using my hand all this time for nothing??

CTGuy: I guess so neighbour, and now with the new Mastercraft club pack you can clean your ass much more efficiently for the low low price of only $3.99!!

Neighbour: Wow the guys down at the "Thumbwar Club" sure are gonna thank you!!

Insert Canadian tire jingle "I'll start with yooooou!!"

****

To the People in the Know,

Could you let us in the hip-fam know when we might be hearing about upcoming tour dates????... I had posted this earlier this month - but alas it was lost to the black hole.
Whaddya think MAv, heard anything yet?... Even if it's, "tour dates will most likely be posted in a month"... LOL, I'm starting to feel a bit on the compulsive side checking the site every day. And before you all smirk and laugh at me, I know you're checking too!!!
Take it easy folks...(and for you in the states, HAPPY T-DAY!)
