The tree itself was actually more twisted than this so I ended up eliminating some lines as it was getting too messy and hard to follow. I didn't put every band I could think of either because I couldn't connect them to anyone else or I didn't like the band. But the lines I did draw I think are true. I was relying on others near the top in the 'before my time' section. Sue me if I'm wrong." He also writes a list of "Honourable Mentions": Null Set, Redd Leader, The Nerve, Next X, The Quirk, Cooter Family, Roland Blinn, Basic English, Phycus, Aimless, Donner Party Reunion, Merge, Tetris That's 68 bands on Chris Murphy's chart and I can claim to have seen 17 of them live (=25%).

Logos
Jon "t-shirt" Dacey wrote }i think its interesting that one of the biggest bands of the last year }..weezer stle the logo of one of the biggest bands of well last year }too.. van halen... I thought they stole it from Waylon Jennings who stole it from Van Halen. Don't they get shit on for copyright reasons? I mean, if you stuffed your band's logo into the shape of a Coke bottle you'd never get on a major label because Coke would sue the pants off you the moment the record hit gold. TH's John Boomer-Star Wars logo and the Smart Bomb Atari cartridge were both funny and made sense because the logo tied in with the title and were nods to the early-80's pop culture that seems to have been quite an influence on them. Nobody was expecting big sales so no worry of George Lucas knocking on the door at Ravenrock Lane. Compare that to Merge's knockoff Irving Oil logo which must have been a nod to the coolness of wearing gas jockey shirts, and was kinda risky considering it's a local company. But I'm still talking about locals here, can a major seller get away with it nationally? More examples? Next thing James, Jim and Tara will design a Monkees-inspired logo for their label! (I'm hoping there isn't one) Andrew ps. Hey Jon, why hasn't anyone asked you about the t-shirts since you got back on? :) I know you got the shirts so we'll see them by Xmas, I'm not asking!

Those lyrics were tagged onto the end of Deryl's recent post of Sloan lyrics (weakass attempt at appeasing everyone :) If you didn't keep them write me and I'll send you a copy. On that note, I heard a snippet of Laying Blame on CKDU this afternoon, except it was the Roger Daltrey version: "J-just as l-long as I-I h-have y-you" The DJ promptly shut off the stuttering cd and played a Frank Black song. At least it shows that this dead band gets enough airplay to wear the disc out. 1001 atopical posts, Andrew

PEI on ME
Wow, I caught a few snippets of Munch Yeast last night during the ads of
the Beatles Anthology. A special on some rock fest/ compilation in PEI
"Eat This". Lots of neat AiC wannabe bands. Caught a monoxides vid at
the end (I've got an Idea), loved the scenes of crazed fans chasing them
around (or was that the Beatles, hmmm...). And then some fool requested
Tom Waits! Geez, so much for CanCon.
Anyhow, that should pacify the neglected islanders for a bit. Next
week Mike said they'd be in Antigonish (hopefully not some Sass
Jordan cover band at T- Bone's) and St. John('s?). So much for
Halicentricism. I guess John really gave him a dressing down last week!

Murderecords article
Hey, an online special feature on Colin MacKenzie: --- Forwarded Message Follows --- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- The Morning Line News And Views From Nova Scotia *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Date: 10/25/95 *** MORNING LINE FOCUS REPORT: It's Small Business Week In Canada. For a variety of reasons -- including obviously necessity -- more and more young people are creating their own businesses. Tonight, for example, marks the launch of Halifax's newest magazine, an online collaboration of twentysomething journalists and designers. We check them out . . . and we offer some mini-profiles of other young people who created their own jobs. *** WHO'S A SLACKER? by Katie Bowden RECORD OF SUCCESS: Colin MacKenzie is a key player in Halifax's thriving music scene. A partner in MURDERECORDS and Cinnamon Toast Records, MacKenzie says he's "spreading the gospel of the Halifax indie music scene." After a stint as music director at CKDU radio, he and two friends co-founded Cinnamon Toast Records. Shortly afterwards, MacKenzie was asked to manage the Halifax band, Jale. Meanwhile, another Halifax band, Sloan, needed help. In 1992, they started their own record company, Murderecords. After a year of operation, band members found that they couldn't manage a touring schedule as well as the business, and turned to MacKenzie for help. Two years later, MacKenzie, now 31, is juggling the position of Managing Director with Sloan's company, and partnerships in both his own Cinnamon Toast Records and Murderecords. He says he's loving it. Since the music industry is dominated by young people, MacKenzie says he hasn't encountered many difficulties due to his age. He admits that in the beginning, they got a lot of help from more experienced people in the music industry. "When we first started we were a little naive, and I felt that we were being babysat by a few people at MCA, which was really nice of them," he says. Having a small record company means the artists have more input on how they're managed, MacKenzie says. "We're more artist-friendly than the big companies," he says. "We aren't in this to make as much money off the artists in the short run as we can -- it's more of a long term investment we're developing."

Hello?
Geez, here I'm all ready to start a new month of sloannetting and it's DEAD! Anybody home? Anything happening out there? Any gigs this weekend? As our unofficial archivist, I'll note that my folders of sloannet posts, which used to number 20-50 reasonably informative posts a month, have jumped to 120-190 since March. So there's gotta be something going on out there. Or has the list died with the band? Or is it just a cold, gloomy friday in Hell? Andrew

He was Chinese and thus not a product of the US educational system, but he had lived in Boston for about ten years. And considering the strength of the social/tourist link between Boston and Halifax (and that nice Christmas tree we send them every year) I figured he'd know better. Another acquaintance of mine in Boston once E-mailed me to say he was coming to Ottawa and said he'd try to look me up. I had to point out to him that Boston was closer to Halifax than Ottawa was.

FOR SALE: 4M of Archives
OK, I posted this offer a while back and got minimal response. I have archived nearly a thousand "interesting, informative" SloanNet Messages dating back to the infancy of the 'net (like, two weeks old, when I joined) but I really could use the 3-4M of space (compressed, even!) which they occupy on my 120M hard drive here at work. I'm hoping that someone out there can either point me to an archive site where they can be uploaded (perhaps in monthly format) or take them off my hands. I'd really hate to delete this stuff and the die-hard fans out there who didn't join so early on might like to read it (as would whoever takes on the task of FAQing this list). It's all here, folks: lyrics newspaper articles trivia interviews music reviews gig reviews record store reviews the joys of vinyl discussions of earplug acoustics and the occasional flamewar Somebody please help me preserve this wealth of info.

It would only take me a couple of hours to move all the good stuff into new folders and then extract and forward it. You'd just have to tell me how to get it there. I don't use WWW on this PC but I can install Mosaic if that's needed, or I could just mail you one or two files a day (since they'll be rather large) and let you deal with it.

I need Sloan-related assistance from all you net.junkies out there: I have approximately 800 archived messages from SloanNet dating back to its creation in May 1993 (Thankfully I deleted all the noise: this stuff is about 90% informative). I unfortunately have to open up some hard drive space (this occupies about 3M in Pegasus-compressed form!) on my computer here at work so it can be used for actual academic purposes. So, I'm wondering if there's an archive site where I could dump monthly collections of this stuff and thus make the history of SloanNet available to its subscribers (especially the Taras and similarly rabid fans) I know we used to have stuff at ftp.uwp.edu or something like that, but how do I go about sending it there? Scotto, now that you're back maybe you can shed some light. And this stuff will be of great use to whoever eventually writes the FAQ (Astro?). Thanks, packratboy

Guess Who won Guess Who?
You guessed it. I correctly guessed that the picture published two weeks ago in the gazette was of none other than Chris Murphy. My prize package includes a PeppermintEP CD, Twice Removed vinyl and an orange T- shirt with blue&silver racing stripe logo, all courtesy of Murderecords. I also finally paid my CKDU FundDrive pledge yesterday (James will be happy to hear that), and picked up, along with my beautiful orange Friends of CKDU card, a few promo cds including Pond (hope Joyce doesn't see this :), Redd Kross and an autographed copy of Underwhelmed. Adam has "appropriated" all of said items, since my CD player and turntable remain at home and the shirt appeared to be slightly less than my size :) I at least got to keep my beautiful Student Alumni Association mug, pen, notepad, and a letter of congratulations. And I really honestly did put in names for everyone who asked!

Best news I've heard all week! To be picky, I think this is their *first* full length release, as _Red_ was sadly only an EP. I'm really looking forward to this one. Anyone who neglected to see them the two times they came to Halifax (or maybe when they came to your town) should be ashamed. They really have great stage presence for a 3-piece. Lucky Europeans to see them with a great band like Hole. Maybe if Per or someone's still out there overseas we can get a review. And I never picked up on the Rhode Island Red thing, that's kinda witty :)

Michael Damian Catano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> offered: }"du" basically means a peice of the whole, like "i want a peice of cake" }or something like that. since sloan net does not represent the entirity }of sloan's fanbase (thank god for that) it is appropriate to say "du". Nyet! Then it's appropriate to say "Des Ami(e)s de Sloan". We're part of the friends of Sloan, we're not friends of part of Sloan (except for those of us who think Pat smokes and drinks too much:) Enough bickering, though. I thought the idea was that it *should* be bad french!

T-Shirts is a new kind of porn
One thing which must definitely be done is that when all this is screened onto the shirt it should be aligned slightly left of centre :) Maybe Adam will disclose the design for his one-off LoC bullseye Tee? And for those undecided Ami(e)s out there, Left of Centre makes for a great rap tune when Pat's got a broken string and MC Criss wants to pump the crowd. So maybe some smooth rhymer out there wants to go freestyle on that tip.

Re: q-104 (fwd)
"Mr. Pim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> remarked with painful cynicism: } Maybe they'll have some old indie releases from Trooper or Lover Boy }floating around somewhere! Now that would be cool! to the query of DAVID POUND <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> }Someone told me that Q-104 has an indie show on sundays now that focuses }on the local scene? Is this true? Q-104 an indie station ? How scary. Better yet, since we're talking local scene they might have some early indie April Wine, just in time for their Roxbury gigs this weekend. And poor Derek is stuck in TO with whatever shitty bands are playing the El Mocambo (a club which failed to live up to it's legend when I was there in '93. I guess I expected more from a place where the Stones had played.) BTW, Trooper is playing the McInnes Room Thursday night. Is anyone at Dal still old enough to remember Trooper? I mean, they were dead even when I bought "Hot Shots" from Columbia House about 10 years ago. If I get really bored I'll type in the Thrush Hermit review from this week's Gazette. I assume my friend Tim "Covey" won't mind the copyright infringement. We should all pitch in and buy Ian some fresh bass strings and Rob some decaf (you'll understand when you read the article) "Drive that car to Texas, boy"--ZZ Top (sorta) Andrew
