Seasons Beastings..
I just fealt like posting cause it feels like a while since I have last done so.. I just wanted to tell those people who (about 3 months ago) said that Al Tuck was a poor opener for the Super Friendz.. You are all sooo wrong .On Thurs I saw the New Al Tuck band.. Al Tuck New Action?.. hmm..? But yeah, this is only my second time ever to see them play and I liked this show much better than the first.. in particular, the new guitar/organ player (name please?) was incredible on guitar.. I can't belive some of the licks this guy came up with, he rules.. and I think that Al can sing just fine.. or maybe I'm just tone dealf, I dunno.. But I can totally see Al Tuck being a great opener for the Friendz.. In a way all of the (Al Tuck) guitar noodeling is very Matt Murphy. So I have to say that I think they would have been a match made in heaven, straight up. Oh, and I hope to see you all at the Cinnomin Toast xmas shindig at the crappy old Birdland tonite.. I know it is probably too late to find out but, who else will play besides R West?.. I hear that Dusty Sorbet will also play.. who else?.. anyone?.. hmm. This would be a great time for another last time ever, we swear Sloan show.. don't you think? Not that that would be a bad thing though.. au contraire mon amie.. Well, whatever, pipe talk.. Merry Christmas sloan net.. Smashing Dumb-Kids, Brendan with Butterfly Wings..
Re: Coax Me
It's not the fans I hate, it's consolidated..
Well.. from what I have heard (though I could be lying), is that one time
in (I belive it was) New York, an unruley mob of people at one of their
shows (played w/ Lemonheadz) totally ruined the show by insisting that
sloan play this consolidated song, apparently it was a big hit at the
time and these subpopjocks:).. no wait they were (set up in) frat boys,
yeah well anyhow, they insisted on hearing this song. So Patrick, being
the kind of guitar wyzard he is, started banging off this consolidated song
but Chris was all thumbs and couldn't get with it, Jay was laughing so
hard, milk came out of his nose (though he wasn't even drinking milk at
the time?) I guess Andrew started laughing too and milk came out of
_his_ nose too... he was drinking milk. Well lets just say that the show
wasn't a hit.. that is, until people started throwing rotten vegetables at
them. So _this_ is the bone Sloan had to pick with those rotten nasties
who wrecked their _one_ chance to rock-out infront of Evan Dando..

I had heard that Consolidated *demanded* an apology for being mentionned in
that light. Apparently they were very offended.
is that true? or another rumour?

Sloanercross tees
A little ways back there was a thread on those hideously overpriced sloan/Suzuki shirts.. well whoever was asking about them, they are back and priced to sell, this time they are t-shirts... Oh.. Erics Trip breakup.. Erics Last Trip?.. hmm.. I dunno.. I guess I could see that happening, like.. when this happened with Sloan, everyone saw it coming.. how the hell do you follow up a record like 2x?.. I guess we will never know.. but back to ET.. all I can say is to enjoy it while it lasts, and if it does happen I hope they don't pull a Sloan and embark on a This is our last show _ever_ Tour across Canada.. Well I hope Sloan decide to pull a few more Sloans someday, like _that_ would ever happen.. oh well I should be tending to my studies.. Dalhousie Approved.. Ol'Dirty Brendan.

Re: new Sloan album
You know it's kinda funny you should mention those demos, cause I was just thinking that it would be very good to get a tape of all the Sloan demos from Peppermint to present.. I was once played what I was told to be the 2X demos.. not actually the _whole_ thing but enough to want to hear more.

One of my sources has heard three new demos from Chris Murphy himself.

Re: what!
Well I dunno, if any of you recorded the muchmusic appearance a little ways back you may find that there is a bit of a resembelance between the two, and has anybody noticed the resembelance between Lil' Orton Hoggit and Matt Murphy it's uncanny really, and their drummer looks alot like Chris Murphy of Sloan, yeah I think there is definately something weird going on with the Superfriendz.

You know what, I heard that the video in question is entirity made up of editing room floor clips from this unreleased *Skin Flick* that was to be called Super Sexy Friends: Easy Livin' in Nashville.

Man... do I have to do everything?
How come nobody posted about yesterdays Daily News coverstory (sort of anyways) about Sloans breaking up finally being confirmed. They were talking about Chris touring with the Superfriends, Andrew living in Toronto with his wife, Jay being the manager of the Inbreds and I don't think they mentioned anything about Patrick. It appears that they don't have any plans on booking any more shows after this weekend, I don't know if this means they _won't_ but I really can't see it happening. Its a really sad thing to see them end up like this, but I guess it is as they say how all good things.. coming to an end. Brendan vs. The Greatest of all Time
If any of y'all know..
This isn't a big deal really but if any of you know what Sloan's situation is right now as far as record label ties goe I would be curious to know. I heard they left or got let go Geffen and I think I remember hearing something in the rumor mill about a deal with Atlantic Records in the works. Also are they still together or aren't they? Cause I have (as we all have) heard and read about their possible breakup. Oh well thats all I really wanted to ask.Thanks. Brendan to the ground
Re: Sloan MOTOX shirt
The motox jerseys are modeled after _I think_ a Suzuki jersey and are yellow with I think black writing are very cool but just as expensive, think 35-45 bucks but worth every red cent _if you like jerseys and sloan and yellow_ For a more acurate account of it email murder.

Makin' the bacon
Well I haven't actually _heard_ the new offering from leonard conan, but here is what Ron Foley MacDonald had to say about Bringin' home the bacon bits: full length cass. of original songs that confirms the band's initial promise. ...greater things to come.. ..sounds like a more intimate, kitchen party version of the Replacements' Paul Westerberg ..wistful melodies and short choruses make the tunes more immediate. If the Velvet Underground had a somewhat sunnier outlook, it might sound like Leonard Conan ...stark minimalism... ...primitivism of recording... ..wonky charm... ...respect for McDaniels writing takes precedent over any hot-dogging from the players... ...yada yada cool packaging wrapped in brown paper shrinkwrapped on a butchers styrofoam plate. I would like to hear from some people who have heard it, I _will_ of course pick it up but lets hear some noise for Leonard Conan, a great band that is still yet to break. Brenefdhiosnack

Hmm...
I checked my mail today only to find people were giving static to plumtree and thruster, while I'll admit they're not the two best bands in the world anyone who listened to flutterboard _knows_ how hookey the tracks are. Plumtree are really entertaining and nice girls too boot. Thruster are good, pretty good in fact, bad name though, they definately are reminicent of 88-89 skaterock, fancy footwork, blazing riffs, they really rocked ma socks off. Ok the porno stunt was funny for a second but ended up being more retarded than funny, and that feed back, drumstick throwing at the symbols thing has been done and is quite played out BUT they rocked as hard as aimless ever did, ok. And The hardship Post, I have always thought they were the most boring rock band in the world, I mean snooze-o-rama these guys were always writing good songs but there live act was always a sleeper. zzz. _But_ the last time I saw them was that show at khyber w/ HCG a few months back and they really were entertaining and for the first time I walked away from a hardship post show thinking they really rocked me out. So I guess I'll pick up the new THP cd and spin it a few times and see if if it's better than the last one I heard. The Brendan
Re: JAy Ferguson is two rock stars
Yeah I was at this crap north end pawn/record shop last summer and there were at least twelve different Jay Ferguson records, and Jay is this total sleez-o with at least six girlies on each arm, too funny, I think Jay would _love_ to see one of these (if he hasn't already). And to save a second post, let me be the first to say that Thrush Hermit rocked with a vengence last night at the Oasis, they are sooo AM rock now it's funny, blazing two fisted guitar riffs, joel's dancing definately increased the goofiness of the show, definate rock masters with their 20 minute intermission and an encore that was a speeded up and slowed down pink is the color, the main part was punk rock fast and the breakdown at the end was s slow, hopefully the upcoming tour will do well for them cause I have been that the down south american experience doesn't include loud unadulterated sissy-boy rock.
