my turn!! :) sfz, al tuck review..

1995-12-09 Thread sizzle teen
let us ignore the fact that i just failed a final exam...

i went to see the super friendz and al tuck at the volcano club in 
kitchener just like a whole bunch of other people on this list.  the only 
difference -- i was hanging out at the club for a total of *6* hours... 
but that's another story.

since i haven't heard anything about the whole crew getting their 
stomachs pumped, it is safe to say that the cupcakes i made were fine :) 

al tuck was *great* :)  his music sounded really classic, like his songs 
have always been around and have stood the test of time.  i really fell 
in love with his music that night.. of course, being the moron i am, i  
forgot to buy a cd... really great songs, and he played "budda" just for  
me ;)  (hey, a girl can dream, can't she?)  actually, before playing the 
song,  he explained that they play "budda" but some nights they don't  
really feel like playing it unless someone requests it, so he asked for a 
request, and i put up my hand and requested it [note:  i was sitting 
right up front, half on the stage, trying to hide behind the speaker].   
but the highlight was "can i count on you" (?), which was just him and  
his guitar, and it was totally beautiful.  i think i'm in love..

the super friendz... what more can be said?  they sounded great, and were 
all really active.  and i have to admit, lonnie is an awesome drummer and 
kicks t.c.'s ass!  i kinda requested "undertow" before the show, (which they 
played, of course), but for the sole reason to hear the correct lyrics.  
i wasn't disappointed :)  "television", "up and running", and "green 
hands" were totally awesome, and i can't wait to hear those songs 
recorded.  for the encore, i think matt came *very* close to do some 
l'il orton.. ;)

here's something interesting.. copies of the first pressing of the _by  
request_ 7" (with the green sleeve) were left at the volcano from some  
previous show, so 8 copies were for sale. 

umm.. oh, charles said that they'll be releasing a single on genius 
records :) ...er, :( since i still don't have a turntable.. ("dear 
santa..")  and add me to the list of al tuck fans :)

..sizzle teen

p.s. i got al to guess my age, and he said 23!
p.p.s.  hey!  charles tried to get me drunk with the beer tickets too.. i 
don't feel special anymore... ;)  (..you should've seen the stack that he 
started off with...)

one vote.. no prob.  so they ask you to enter an alias, then your e-mail

mine looked:

so i've heard..

1995-11-28 Thread sizzle teen

i was listening to the first half of the indie-hour on cfny fm last 
night, and dave bookman (dj) was talkin' away to colin mackenzie... 
there's this one thing that really stuck in my mind though...

dave was asking colin about updates of east coast rawkers, and he was 
asking what "mr. patrick pentland is doing".  i then hear colin *laugh*  
..either that, or he sneezed into the phone  but anyway, i heard it 
as a laugh.  all he would say is that there are 3 familiar people in the 
east coast writing songs..  but later, dave said that there are 3 
familiar people writing songs *together* which is not what i thought  
colin said.. colin m, clarify!!!  y'know, we (i?) could start some 
fun rumours around here... ;)  just kiddin'.

oh, i also heard another version of "promise" on the radio, and it was 
from a bbc recording.. is this available to the public?  or did i miss my 
chance to record it off the radio?  it's diff than the 7" and 
_dreamcake_, in that the opening guitar riff different, and towards the 
end there are a bunch of ba-ba's backing jennifer's voice...

last point:  about the baad k-w et concert-goers... i find that sad, but 
somehow i'm not surprised that it happened here because i was talking to 
julie before the show, and it was my first et concert, so i wanted to 
know if i had to be scared for my life (of moshers), but she said that there 
was no moshing, just a lot of dancing for this past tour.  But at this  
concert there was moshing *galore* and some jerks, like the guy who just 
went on the stage and started picking a fight with the bouncer when forced 
off the stage...

hello :)

1.  the new _chart_ mag with the super friendz interview is out.  
woo-hoo, they're gracin' the cover :)  it's a good interview.  the 
interviewer calls charles "chuck" throughout the entire thing, and drew's 
answer to the songwriting q is almost word-for-word like the one he gave 
me, so i guess they've been asked that q a lot, huh?  cute little drawings 
(complete with their nicknames).  the article said that they were 
recording with brendan ... what were they recording for?  an e.p.?  
a single?  

2.  ytv news featured this HILARIOUS bit with thrush hermit going 
instrument shopping :)  i was laughing soo much (aside from me 'n my 
roommates yelling 'die, ian, die' ;) ) (sorry, inside joke).  cliff and a 
tamborine... :) :) :) :)  just great :)

3.  bands interested in the music west conference -- muchwest mentioned a 
bit about it, and that applications are due by jan. 15, so any bands out 
there, get crackin'!  i don't know all the details, and i don't even know

eric's trip :) :) :) :)

1995-11-19 Thread sizzle teen
yee-ha!

i went to see eric's trip for the first time in my entire life on friday 
at the volcano in kitchener, and i was TOTALLY in awe, and couldn't 
believe how i've never heard of them until earlier this year and never 
saw them until friday :)  altho christian has posted about the show, i'll 
add my $0.02 worth.

curb were cool.  they're a trio from minnisota, with 2 boyz (1 on drums, 
the other on bass and vox), and a girl (gee-tar and vox).  pretty cool 
rawkin' stuff.  

the new grand, as said, were plagued with a few probs since they didn't 
get to do a sound check.  my first time seeing them, and they rawked :)  
i loved them!!  "frat boy" and everything, right warren? ;)  i rilly 
liked their sound, and they were pretty energetic.  mike apologized to me 
after the show for all the probs, which i didn't quite get why he did, 
but nonetheless that was sweet :)

orange glass :  wow!!  lots of noise, couldn't hear much vocals :(  but 
wow, i was really impressed!  one thing i couldn't help notice was how 
skinny tara is!!!  too bad their single is on vinyl.. *sigh*

eric's trip.. oh man, it was an *amazing* experience.  seeing them live 
isn't just going to see a band play, it's like a totally new experience 
that i can't explain.. just soo much energy and noise and.. wow!! (i'm at 
a total loss for words)  they had only blue lights shining on them and 
they just illuminated all 4 of them and it gave them an almost surreal 
presence.  since i'm a fool and don't own any eric's trip stuff (well, 
NOW i do..) i couldn't really tell you all the titles.. (go bug warren, he 
got the set list).. but they did play a broken girl song, and lots of new 
stuff and a mix of the old.. 2 tracks from _peter_, me thinks..  julie, 
rick, and chris all shared vocal duties.  even with earplugs, the music was 
pretty loud.  the last song before the encore, there was this massive 
feedback and reverb and all this stuff that i don't know about, and it 
was weird because i could feel the vibrations just go through my entire 
body (i was standing in the front).. and for the encore, the never ending 
experiments of chris.. WOW!!  oh man, eric's trip are AWESOME!!

julie was even kind enough to sell a few copies of my zine at the merch 
booth :)  and all 4 copies laid out were sold!!  :) :) :) :)  one was 
bought by ron in orange glass  (btw: copies of my zine are still 
available.. like, *really* available since no one has ordered any.. *sniff*)

anyway, on to the next posting..

all righty, just when you thought that the market has come clean again, 
the second installment of _in the meantime..._ has arrived with bells

day you said goodbye, since you didn't like the dance music.

issue no. 2 is jam packed with interview, after interview, after 
interview.. namely with:  Broken Girl, cub, jale, and the Super Friendz.  
lots of album reviews (4 of the groups have members on sloan net), a pop 
explosion diary, *more* chris murphy stories for those of you who like 
'em, etc., etc., etc 

it's only $1.50 if you get directly from me, or $2 if you order thru

and fer all you kitchener-waterloo people, YES eric's trip are coming to

hello :)

wheee!  midterms are finally done :)  yep, after 4 hours of perfect 
panic, i headed off to the volcano club in kitchener to watch the 3 
groups mentioned.  and they were excellent!! (btw: i know i'm talking 
about bands from the *other* coast, but read on if you don't mind..)

i got there right at 10 p.m., and pluto had already started.  eek!  they 
rawked, and sounded great.  i'm not too familiar with pluto; i just 
started to hear their stuff about 4 weeks ago (thanx andrea :) ), but i 
love them :)  really cool stuff.  hey, and after their set, the bass 
player sees my t-shirt and said "the super friendz!  i love them!"  (i 
figured i'd wear my sf tee since i usually see charles austin wearing his 
pluto tee)

pansy division were on next, and how could you *not* like them ;) they're 
a lot of fun, catchy tunes, and the bass player is adorable.. 
well, except during the last track when he decided to bare all... i saw a 
buttox and turned the other way, faster than the speed of light! 

cub closed and rawked the night away :)  it was my first time 
seeing them live (actually, that applies to all of the groups) and i had 
a lot of fun :)  made a full recovery from my midterms!  none of the 
famed 'cub candy' though :(  but they did do a lot of screaming (well, 
lisa g and robynn, though lisa got into it during 'the day i said 
goodbye'), and lisa g's bass drum kept on moving away from her.. freaky!

excellent and fun night of music :)  and lisa g and john (guitarist of 
pansy division) both had the same thing to say to me :) ("you looked like 
you were having a lot of fun because i saw you smiling throughout the 
set") :Dthat night almost made 
me forget that mcgettigan must die.. ;)  (hey, waz dis w/ benvie posting? 
or wuz it an imposter?) (does it mean that mr. pool didn't kill him?)

check out nov.'s _exclaim_ with a review of the state champs single (ok

least) tour schedule of the super friendz and al tuck and no action. :P

first of all, thanks to all that helped me in the search of contacting

looks like i'll have to move to halifax!

ok, i have 2 'newspaper'-ish things infront of me (well, other than the

Trip is playing at the volcano (kitchener) on nov 9 w/ orange glass.  but 
but but but but... in the other source (_id_), it says that Rebecca West 
is playing at the volcano on nov 9.  huh?  of course, that would be a 
wild kick ass show if both bands were playing!!!

speaking of _id_.. they have an article (with pictures!) about the pop 
explosion.  in the pic of joel's back, if you look at the very right hand 
end of the pic, you see half of d'arcy's face!! (you're famous!!)  
there's also a pic of chris and ian, but it's weird cuz i think ian has 
something hanging from his lips, but i can't quite make out what it is.  i 
don't think it's his tongue, and nobody said anything about him getting his 
lip pierced, so

next comment.  what's up with the urge overkill show w/ thrush hermit 
show?  weren't they supposed to be playing in guelph on tuesday, not in 
london (well, urge)??  so where's thrush hermit gonna be, then??  also,

up the value of the 7"?  did they correct it in the versions of the 
single that come with the cover with the red (instead of green) border???

hey :)

so the pop explosion is winding down.. how come there have been no 
reviews?? anyone???  anyone??  or are you all having s much 
fun that you're forgetting to inform us of everything that we're missing 
out of.. ;)  , why and i so bitter today

anyway, they played the state champs song at regular speed last night!  
except they didn't mention the title, so i have no idea what song i was 
listening to.  hmm.. so *that's* what they're supposed to sound like! ;) 
(ya, i have the single but i still haven't found a turntable yet.. *SIGH*)

hi :)

question:  ok, i need to know the correct spelling of some guy's last 
name.. i think it's spelled 'komachenko' but i'm not sure..  it's this 
guy greg who played in rhinoplasty (w/ drew and charles of sf), and later 
played in a few bands, the leather uppers being one of them.  help?

ok, so i read in one mag (i think it was _chart_) that alyson (macleod) 
has joined hardship post (as we all know) BUT hardship post as we know it 
will cease -- i think i read (and i'm not so sure anymore so if i'm wrong 
flame me via private e-mail) that she'll play guitar, seb on bass, and 
mike on drums, and alyson will become the primary song writer!?!?! 

also, all you canucks, make sure you pick up this month's edition of 
_impact_.  why?  there's a super friendz article (w/ pic), a little pic 
of sloan, and a review of edgy fest 3 :)  oh, and a message from our once 
and only chris p (novacain) :)  (you're famous!)  also, check out the 
little blurb they have about drummers... then check out my zine and *my* 
article on drummers.. hmmm... lemme see, i wrote about them drummers in 
july, _impact_ just came out HM...

ok, here's a little bit of rambling, so those not interested can delete 
the message.  the pic of the super friendz in the magazine was taken 
moments before i (finally!?!) got my pic with them :)  and i do have a few 
witnesses (altho i don't know if they remember) (umm.. remember cathy?  shant?  
katrina?)

well, have  a nice thanksgiving weekend :)  (whee!  homecooked food!!!)

okay, i *swear* this is the last posting/correction from me today.  i 
can't believe how screwed up i am today.  i think it's the quote in my sig..

anyways, it's not COLLECTIVE SOUL, it's URGE OVERKILL who are touring 
with gbv and the second incarnation of the steve miller band ;)

sorry (again) for my mistake (again).

if only they knew...

hey :)

(don't mind me, i'm going e-mail crazee before school starts)

in _campus canada_, there's a little blurb about sloan (who? ;) ) with a 
pic an' everything... just a brief bio.. and ends off with the line

"..including a memorable gig at Toronto's Molson AMpitheatre as part of 
Edgefest 2 (duh! i know it's edgy 3, but the article says 2), that 
secured them as one of the best live bands in Canada"

aww.. isn't that sweet?

heh!  and the pic shows a very unflattering pic of criss. HAHAHAHAHAHA!! 

also, in the frosh week edition of our student newspaper, there was a 
review of edgy fest 3 (mentioning that members of *jale* were on stage 
dancing during thrush hermit.. um, *n*.  there was amanda from plumtree, 
t.c., matt murphy, and those crazee local rabbits boys), and an interview 
with jay :) mentioning that the jale drummer is mike militski (um.. 
nooo..)

ok, ok, ok (for cathy's sake: ok). i know i've unsubscribed, but i just 
needed to add this..

1.  is everyone aware that the east coast music awards are on cbc tonight?

2.  is it coincidental that the only three japanese females whose names 
are on the 'net tee all know each other?  i kid you not.

3.  (the sloan content)  what videos have they released, and do they 
intend on releasing another music video? i've seen underwhelmed (both 
versions), 500 up, coax me, and people of the sky.  is dat it?

thanx for your time :)

(well, pretend that you're living in a far country, since Canada is north 
of Africa)

thanks to those that answered my previous posting :) many many thanx! 
here's my final posting 'til september  :^(  .. and, as usual, they're 
questions...

1.  what is this song *amped* that people are talking about?

2.  why did sloan call their label 'murderecords'?

3.  why did they omit the second r? (this confuses my parents who are not 
fluent in english... ;) )

thanx in advance to those who respond!
b-bye 'til september

random garble

1995-03-08 Thread sizzle teen

*cough cough*  i hope the rest of the netters are in better physical 
shape than me...

ok, just a few random ramblings...

- was the jale 'ear to the ground' on this weekend?  i checked through 
  the tv guide a few times and didn't see the program listed

- yes! patty and jay were on ytv news (the advantages of having a sister 
  in her pre-teens...).  they went shopping with the reporter-chick at the 
  good-will store in downtown t.o.  patrick enjoys comfy clothes, while jay 
  strives for a more 'cool and classy' look :)  (no cuir jackets seen)

- in the next few weeks, ytv news will be focusing on hip club groove

- any news about the cbc radio-sloan-concert-broadcast schpeel?

i think that's all that i could think of. oh, one more thing...why does 
cindy play in t.o. when i'm trapped in waterloo? aah!! ah well. c'est la vie.
let's see if sloan can win a juno.
