Ots no ordinary boat its a fireworks yacht. And the impact of one smaller boat crashing into the larger one has set off the fireworks. I kn...

I had a friend in high school in the 80s who was an absolute Bryan Adams fanatic. He had a black mullet with short spiky gelled top, walked around in a Leafs windbreaker, and his favorite hobby was shoplifting. One redeeming quality amongst so much awful. He mostly grabbed tapes, including those lo...

Wait you knew Doc since high school?

Also, while Canada covers a lot of territory the major population centers are mostly in the southern part of the country and not far from the US border and make up a fraction of the entire land mass.

I have no favourite Canadian bands. That isn't getting at Canada, they just have no good bands. I would have pegged you as a Loverboy fan, and of the less adventurous Rush material. I do like about 4 Rush songs. I tried to get into them as a young heavy rocker, but his absurd voice and their 13 min...

Nomeansno and DOA are probably my two favorites.

Even better than Loverboy. Now I know you're joking. Okay, you got me. They're not quite as good as Loverboy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsgBpsNPQ50&ab_channel=LoverboyVEVO (One of those songs that is definitely crappy, but it's actually become kinda fun with time. The "Two Princes" of the 80s...

Top 5 tracks from "World Service" - Spear of Destiny 1. Mickey 2. Up All Night 3. World Service 3. Come Back 4. All My Love (Ask Nothing) A band I need to investigate for sure. Is that a good album to start with? The name has always turned me off as I associate the "spear of destiny" as part of the...

A lot of fans rate it the best—I certainly do—but it's not like they've produced a bum record. Earlier stuff is more musique concrète oriented, but Allelujah marked a shift to more "song-oriented" work. I'd recommend Yanqui UXO and Luciferian Towers as the next two to sample ( Yanquiu was the first...

That, too. But being old means practicing more. Ooof. Glad that you're still employed, but sorry that you're bearing the brunt of that loss of co-workers. (You should listen to Godspeed tonight. :shifty: ) I did listen to that album finally. I'm surprised it hadn't been recommended to me before, I ...

OR you're just not drinking to this level quite regularly enough. You're just not used to it. That, too. But being old means practicing more. I'm expecting a similar hangover tomorrow morning. Since my org laid off a bunch of people (including my dev partner) there seems to be a deficit of understa...
