grace babies are an awful band, featured on mucheast a few too many times. for inexplicable reasons, they have a debut full-length out on no records. It's really awful. umm.. lemme see.. they're very pop-rotten (or is that rawtten?), lots of crappy little ditties, and the songs make me puke :)

Rita MacNeil's new album

1995-11-08 Thread Roderick Affleck
I'm surprised nobody's talked about Rita's new release here yet. It's called "Porch Songs", and is a tribute to the Halifax band Coyote. This is probably MacNeil's most intense effort to date, and she really brings new life to these songs. some of the tracks really shine. Her rendition of "Neve

I didn't see any mention of this in my 321 messages waiting for me so I assume everyone secretly knew about it, or nobody knew about it. Anyway, the interview was last Tuesday night I think. If anyone's interested I'll try to transcribe it. It was Matt from superfriendz, Mike and Eve from Jale.

Hey guys, it's time to stop blaming Jonny Cox layoffs and cutbacks in the Hardship Post. I was talking to a friend who knows the band yesterday, and she said that it was a pretty mutual thing. Matt just wasn't enjoying being in the band anymore and so it was the best thing to do. I think that t

I really don't know what to think of last night's performance, for starters I couldn't decide who was performing...rich and al, or the audience. This has got to be the most pretentious event I've ever gone to. I really don't know why I feel that way, it just seemed that everyone there was there on
