wE LoVe LeNNi! :)
hidee hoe, neighbours, :) Ottawa was sure kickin this weekend. :) On top of the usual weekend punk-out shows occuring in the nation's capital, we were visited by some extra special bands. :) and i don't mean the ripcordz. ;) On saturday, the superfriendz and al tuck and no action swung by our luvly city. Of course, it was a bar show, so jayson and i had to make do with watching the soundcheck through the window of the door, which we kept ajar so that the music could be heard. And what a soundcheck it was! :) We heard _Karate Man_, _When They Pay(Paid) Me_ and _Up and Running_. We probably missed some other kool toons at the start, but that's ok. as long as they played _up and running_ wooh! that is my favourite superfriendz song. i get chills. we didn't see al's check; i guess we missed it. :( :( but we met lonnie, the new friend. :)he's wicked. :) i can't beleive he's only been playing with them since tuesday. wow. :) on sunday, the Pit became a freakin madhouse party! :) 3 local bands and the mighty LEN! :) yay, len! they drove all the way down from toronto to play the show and they rawked the house down. :) Purifica was the first band up. They are a 5 piece from out here in a suburb of ottawa known as orleans city of excitement. :) Jody has the best voice; she sings really beautifully. Their songs (they played 4 - short but sweet!) were just the right mix of poppiness and moodiness. sonic youthish guitar at times, with our own jeremy gara on drums, kickin it out! :) Next was Son of Flynn. 4 rawk outs who attend my school. :)real loud and dark and powerful, very guitar-oriented mood-rawk. They sure love flangers. :) they played their big hit, _Roof It_ as well as the usual assortment of spacey tunes, with the addition of a new *almost* pop/punk one in which mike, the BEST drummer ever, sings! :) maniacs that drive the girls wild. :) Next up unfortunately was us. :) hitchiked played the usual pop tunes with too many covers, not enough sleep and too much sugar. we forgot how to play every song it seems. and we BRUTALIZED (and i mean killed!) the La's _There She Goes_. :) but it was all in fun and at least i got to drum on some tunes. Janet is the next broken girl. :) Finally, LEN! :) wh!! :) :) i was so excited to see them! :) they were incredible. tonnes of energy and wackiness. they played _Superfly_ , _My Damn Itch_ , and _Slacker_, all from their wonderful and diverse CD _Superstar_, which you should seriously look into buying if you dont already own it. The highlight of the show for me, though, was the Laverne Shirley theme song!! :) :) hooray! :) :) I've never heard it done better. :) so that was my weekend. i took the day of school today. wooh. too much, g. thanks len for playing! :) sorry for the length of this message, kids.:) i'm out like 80's music! ;) love, tara :) -- The smile that you send out... returns to you. :) -Indian Wisdom
les amis du sloan
hello to everyone on this fine sunday morning :) there have been a few people lately asking about the les amis project and its progress so here's the scoop: Right now we've *finally* gotten all of the submissions in and we're about to begin compiling everything making the tapes. woooh! big step. :) It shouldn't be too long before we post about our next step. :) on a slightly sad note, the rare sloan track inclusion thing didn't exactly work out, since chirs m.'s stuff is all in storage and he can't locate what he was going to donate. but don't despair - we've still got a wicked assortment of tunes and little surprise bits. :) basically what we wanted to tell everyone is we really appreciate your patience, but please dont put the screws to us, as i do believe we were fairly patient when it came to waiting half a year to get submissions sent in. you don't have to post every week asking how its going; believe us, we will let you know. and dont think that this is a foolish pipe dream sort of a project because tara and i are very serious about it and we intend to really make it work, with your help of course. and helpful you have been. thanks very much again to all who have contributed, placed orders, told a friend about it, and who have confidence in this. we really appreciate the support. :) i am as itching to hear the compilation as any of you, be assured. :) it will be wonderful. :) if you have any questions email me, not the list as im sure many of you are sick to death of hearing the same thing said over and over again. thanks again. :) love, tara :) -- The smile that you send out... returns to you. :) -Indian Wisdom

Re: Jay makes his mark on the acting world!
wholly kow, :) Actually, this Jay Ferguson that Shanan mentioned is another guy who was actually an actor (u know, one of the has-been teen actors ;)). It's weird how they have the same name tho.. then again, Jay and Ferguson aren't such odd names.. :P heehee all this hubbub is rather freaky... :) you see, we did a whole article in our zine about the _actor_ jay f., comprised of numerous and _very_ informative _teen beat_ clippings. :) not only that, but we watched the film _higher learning_ a couple weeks ago, and, lo and behold, who plays a raving drunk frosh boy but jay freaking ferguson. the actor is almost like the anti-jay, tho, if you ask me. :) i'd say that name is extremely common, as there is also that rock composer guy who, among other wondrous endeavors, composed the score for that amazing old-school-skater-murder-mystery flick, _gleaming the cube_, which starred another _teen beat_ face, christian slater. :) ive got the lodown. e-mail me for more fun fax about the actor. ;) ;) check ya :) love, tara :) :) -- The smile that you send out... returns to you. :) -Indian Wisdom

plummy T. rawk the Pit
hey all! :) last night was the split 7 release party of two of ottawa's finest pop bands, girl afraid and two for flinching (if you havent heard of 'em yet, check them out! they are the reason for which i still have faith in our ottawa scene..) with plumtree playing inbetween the 2 bands! :) girl afraid should play around town more often, in my opinion. id rather see them any night than the onslaught of hardcore madness that are most ottawa bands, but thats just me, a sucker for pop. and girl afraid are just that: swirling, shimmering, delicate, and melodic. at times they remind me of sebadoh, at times they remind me of eric's trip, but at all times they remind me why i love pop music so much. :) i had only heard 2 plumtree songs before, one of which was 'dog gone crazy', and was expecting them to sound fairly cub-ish (i love cub) and jangly. boy was i surprised! they reminded me more of jale than cub... the joyousness was there, but they managed to come off as more 'sophisticated' sounding than i'd expected. i wish i knew the names of some of the songs they played, but alas...i can still recall some of the tunes, though. especially this one with absolutely gorgeous vocal harmonies.. they played a lot of new stuff, they said. they are in town recording a record as we speak..they pulled an all-nighter last night in the studio. their set was surely a fun one, i was genuinely impressed and truly inspired. :) two fo flinching closed the show last night, playing all our favourite tunes, including the ever-amazing 'dynamo boy'! now here's the cub-esque band...they're nutso too. :) this song is about a fruit. a citrus fruit. no, actually its about stalking. all our songs are about stalking. :) :) heeheee how could anyone resist them? ;) i looove this band. more fun and madness than you can shake a stick at. :) :) so...who says ottawa's only good bands are the hawd coar ones? NOT ME! :) :) :) pop at the pit. the best kind there is! :) ooh those 3 bands had girls in 'em. it was really neat to see all those women on stage. :) (but we love the boys too.) :) later, g's, lotsa love, tara :) :) :) -- The smile that you send out... returns to you. :) -Indian Wisdom

Re: sloan flexi
:) haw haw this is a clever criss-ism... 1. COAX ME (Icks Nay On The Evie Stay Micks) Big Jim a.k.a. the fat one had this to say regarding this li'l pun.. [after singing/ demonstrating how the Coax Me drumbeat is a total rip-off of 'Go Your Own Way' by Fleetwood Mac..] Crix: ..so 'icks nay on the evie stay micks' means nix on the Stevie Nicks mix, and then Mick - Mick Fleetwood. Triple pun. So anyways, 'One Proffessional Care' is sorta half the song 'Stood Up'...The part that I stole was.[sings] der ner ner, der ner ner... and you get tha point. 'one professional care' about health care? wow...thats smart. i thought it was about painting a bathroom :) love, tara :) -- The smile that you send out... returns to you. :) -Indian Wisdom
Re: let's all talk about who sloan has ripped off :)
tara, this is the *best* topic.. :) :) Husker Du - Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely (Lucky For Me) Doughboys - Tearin' Away (Amped) Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way (Coax Me) the Beatles - The Word (People Of The Sky) My Bloody Valentine - Sueisfine (I Am The Cancer) Rankin Family - North Country (Penpals) Sonic Youth - Silver Rocket (Two Seater) ok ive got a couple more... listen to the vocal line of 'Amped' real hard and you may just find yrself singing 'you're lookin wicked and so am i/ let's get together and reminisce...' i don't know but i think -Thrush Hermit- French Inhale (Amped) and then there's 'Stood Up' where Criss rips Andrew's bit of 'One Professional Care' off (!)so there's -Sloan- One Professional Care (Stood Up) and then -Redd Kross- Annie's Gone (Coax Me) [personally i cant hear that one as well, but criss himself said so, so...] :) Those jerks... and here we all thought they were *cool* ;-) tara sometimes yr so evil ;) love, the other tara :) -- The smile that you send out... returns to you. :) -Indian Wisdom

rugged operator
hey kids :) hip club groove's wicked 'rugged operator' was played on rapcity on wednesday. what a wicked video. black n' white, simple, with lotsa fast camera work. quick and slick. truly great. :) and , don't ask me how, but i caught the words 'chris murphy' on the screen for a split second after the video, and , unsure wheter or not i was halucinating again (as usual) i rewound and paused. Sure enough, the smurf and Catherine Stockhausen are listed as producers on the credits which flashed on the screen for a millionth of a second. my obsession consistantly amazes me. :) on the same note...that *is* criss in the audience for a split second in the h.post 'my only aim' vid, right? during one of the 'ba ba ba ba..'s they flash on the audience and i swear its criss down in the bottom lefthand corner, wearing glasses and navy blue and a bit of red... :) anyways, the point is, that the new HCG video RAWKS and so keep yr eyes peeled for it. you never know where you'll see it... :) love, tara the leprochaun -- The smile that you send out... returns to you. :) -Indian Wisdom

hi kids :) we are starting to brainstorm for ffiction#3 and we want your stuff! if anyone wants to contribute anything (especially sloan/eastcoast related) e-mail me and send it right along to 1501 roberval ave. orleans, ont. canada k4a 2c4 send stories, interviews, reviews, pictures, artwork, poems, recipies, whatever..you get the picture. deadline: i'd like the stuff by the first week of april or so.. for all you les amis du sloan kids: thanks for your interest involvement! we have a whopping 26 or so artists in on this so far. :) we are planning to actually get the tapes made at a company so im thinking we might even put the whole thing out with the summer issues of the zines. this means there isnt really a hurry to send the stuff in. but april would be nice.. try not to scald your hands or anything ;) in the meantime... we will be splitting up the bands for the two volumes...and tara lee will post with who's on which tape and with both of the addresses. remember there is no cost to be on this comp. but you have to buy the zine/tape thingy if ya want it (ie: no freebies) or else we'll lose our shirts. i was thinking of asking for 5$ (maybe 4) for the whole shebang (thats including tape, zine, and postage for it all...) thanks for listening/reading/whatever...je t'aime. love tara :) -- The smile that you send out... returns to you. :) -Indian Wisdom
Re: criss and jay on cfny
yo whassup:) what do you mean quebec version. is it the way they've played(sp?) it in MTL..maybe i hate my generation has a hidden political meanin.. Hmmanyone see that old LAME interview on CBC news where Andrew is wearing a leopard skin type of jacket and has fluffy blonde hair? Yeah well sloan (`in with the teenage crowd') were asked what about this comparison between you and nirvana? Andrew Scott - The only similarity is that we play guitar Chris Murphy - And you have blonde hair now... Andrew Scott - The only similarity is that I have blonde hair and that we play guitar. Hso it's not *just* penpals :) :) :) in my LAME interview with them i brought up this blonde-guitar-nirvana thing that you'd mentioned before, tara (as well as this theory about all their songs sumbliminally being about nirvana) :) and criss laughed and said it had nothing to do with thatneither did coax me have anything to do with kurts death. it got silly after those songs though. ie. in underwhelmed 'she said thankyou and i said *nevermind*...' :) im terminally silly. love, tara eggzs on da toes -- The smile that you send out... returns to you. :) -Indian Wisdom
les ami(e)s du sloan comp....
hi everyone. :) thanks to all of you who are getting involved with this 'les ami(e)s...' thing. it's going to be great thanks to all the contributors. :) we've had so much interest however, that we're going to try and restrict it to one song (a sloan cover) form each artist, for *this* particular comp. you know, cover all sloan songs and get it out in time for the break-up, which im pretty sure is going to happen.. HOWEVER, i know there are some of you who are really into sending up an original tune...well send 'em along with the sloan covers , cos if this goes over well, we can put out a collection of sloannet bands' originals in the summertime, ok? :) thanks for your cooperation (and patience) as we try to work this all out... hereis a list of people who need to email a tara and let us know which song they'd like to do: -Yan + mr. roper's tapioca -Hua in California -Emmet/Sandy/Drew -Gord D. -Ian D. (umbrella tree boy) -Blair P. (and B'ehl ? did i spell that right? sorry.) -Heather H. -Jon from the Toolie -Galapagos Raygun kids (tara lee can you find out?) here is a list of people who've already told us which song they're doing (but if ya change your mind, let us know) : -james covey -jeff C + Karen W. -state champs kids -Hugh ;) -tom in New York -Christine in ottawa -Warren R. -shant/kat/adam (i think) -hitchiked (duh.) ;) deadline for entries (not actual tapes, just e-mailed info) is THIS FRIDAY.unless theres some big problem and your computer blows up and you cant reach us til the weekend...;) ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED IN THIS IS *MORE* THAN WELCOME TO BE A PART OF IT ALL. i think there were a few others who were interested (Rob in olympia) but who i havent heard back from yet.. and Tara Lee, i dont know if you've got anyone else on your list, but add them on if you do... okay, since this is going to be a two-volume deal, we will have to have half the kids send their stuff to me and the other half send them to tara in calgaryDONT SEND ANYTHING YET (if you already did tho, dont worry) . We will let you know this weekend who it is that you can send your tapes to, okay? deadline for sending tapes in wont be for a few weeks...we're willing to wait for everyone to get there acts together and stuff, so chill. :) i think i've addressed everything i intended to. if there are any problems or if anyone wants more info, OR if you are on that list and we need to know which song you are covering, please e-mail a tara at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (tara lee) or [EMAIL PROTECTED] (tara dee) thanks again, kids! :) love, tara:) -- The smile that you send out... returns to you. :) -Indian Wisdom
