I'm looking for a guitarist and a bassist to start a rock/alternative band with. I've been playing for 13 years. My goals for now are to jam twice a week and get out there and play gigs. I'm a very dedicated musician and am looking for someone with similar goals.

If you live in the Fredericton area and are interested in rocking out to the Hip and lots of other stuff, please email me at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:matt88@rogers.com">matt88@rogers.com</a><!-- e -->

Hey all,

I'm in the midst of making a home sick mix cd for myself and a couple of other ex-Torontonian friends of mine. Was Romantic Trafic by the Spoons the video shot in the subway, mostly at Bloor station?

Cheers

Pat

Hey guys, I happen to have in my hands, this very second, one box set. It is gorgeous!!!

It is a tall, hard cover. Open it up, two cd's on the left inside, the book in the middle and two dvd's on the right side.

So nice!!!!!

MAv.


ps. . . I couldn't resist telling you . . . sorry, I know you all want it so badly, it will be worth the wait of a few more sleeps but I just got mine and I am so happy.

pps. I got mine signed by the band - one of I think 20 in existence, and I think I will come up with some kind of contest to give it away . . . in due time . . . I won't wreck it, I promise!!! But I'll wait for a rainey day, so don't expect it soon. . . . you'll have to get your own and if you win, you can give your copy to a friend/family . . .

Er, that's "stuck pig" not "stuck pi," which would be a purely mathematical problem. Anyway, that's not exactly what they said, but close enough. See:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/s...rtainment/

Is the bleeding due entirely to illegal downloading? Probably not. It may be due in large part to the industry's habit of producing crap. I'm suspicious of the apples-and oranges comparisons made in the article - sales vs. revenue vs. market share. Smells like selective reporting to me... but still, revenues being down 20 percent over five years is not good.

Now, everyone likes to bash on the record companies, but this is a bad, bad thing. This means less money for new acts, less money for artist development (as if they did that anymore, but we can dream), and so on.

You can pretend that record companies don't do anything, but who underwrites the cost of promotion and touring? The Internet sure as hell doesn't. The notion that bands can succeed and reach a large audience on their own just doesn't wash.

Everything will stabilize in the long run, but it looks like we're getting into a bad period for music.

Thick, 10 oz. heavy cotton. Womans shirts have a slight stretch to them - not sure of the official term for that, but the women I have shown them to think they are sweet in terms of form and shape. They are a cut, womans shirt, if that means somethingSmile

note: the printing on the back is actually slightly higher and the ink has a slight glitter/sparkle. Very subtle. Very Nice.

Fans of The Tragically Hip will tell you that the group is at its absolute best when performing live; they create an electricity between themselves and the audience that few other bands can match. Now, for the first time, those who have never been to a Hip concert will be able to experience that feeling with 'That Night in Toronto,' The Hip's first ever concert DVD, which is included in their upcoming box set 'Hipeponymous' on Universal/Fontana (Nov. 1), and will also be sold on its own. Below are links to a video trailer of 'That Night in Toronto,' featuring the songs "Poets," "Bobcaygeon," and "Fully Completely". Give a click and see why The Hip have earned themselves such a large and devoted following over the course of their remarkable 20 year career.
