Wed. 7/1/15 9:41am dale:

my wife was friends with nomeansno. but i don't know if they fit this format of a.d.d. fueled insanity.

Wed. 7/1/15 9:41am Cecile:

If It Feels Good Do It is a good Sloan rocker.

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 9:42am Ken From Hyde Park:

All well and good so far, but needs more Nunavut field recordings.

Wed. 7/1/15 9:42am Cecile:

dale, Ken will make them fit

Wed. 7/1/15 9:42am Paul Schaffer:

Ah, hahahaha ... ahhh!

Wed. 7/1/15 9:42am Cheri Pi:

Who's the studio band backing up Shatner? I think they have what it takes for the Blues Hospice reunion tour

Wed. 7/1/15 9:42am Cecile:

But Annihilator would be awesome. I love that song.

If I had a car that once caught on fire does that qualify me as a Doors fan?

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 9:45am Vivian:

Grateful Dead, well the remaining 4 members..I know you mentioned seeing them in the past.

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 9:45am -Ken:

I agree Cory - The Doors were a great band. Just too bad about their singer.

Wed. 7/1/15 9:46am Cecile:

no way, Cory. I don't love everything he does, and I'd never want to meet him, but he's done some great things.

Wed. 7/1/15 9:46am Cecile:

Wed. 7/1/15 9:50am Cecile:

I sent you some rhubarb tarts, PI.

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 9:50am cory:

hahah, the only thing that could make Neil's playing worse is taking lessons from me

Wed. 7/1/15 9:52am Cecile:

Move by dance producer (and Canadian) Mocean Worker is a great track.

Wed. 7/1/15 9:53am Cheri Pi:

I love tarts!

Wed. 7/1/15 9:53am Cheri Pi:

Wed. 7/1/15 9:54am Marcel M:

@Turnip Druid: hahaha

Wed. 7/1/15 9:54am Cecile:

You know what has some good whistling? That new Adam Lambert song, "Ghost Town". The lyrics are drivel, but he has a great voice, and the house beat on the break is vicious. Can't wait for this to be remixed to death.

Wed. 7/1/15 9:55am Cecile:

anyone who can fill in for Freddie in Queen and even put his own spin on it is A-OK with me.

Wed. 7/1/15 9:55am dale:

Wed. 7/1/15 9:56am Marcel M:

@Cecile: Was that the operatic "goth" kid that was on American Idol or something?

Wed. 7/1/15 9:56am Cecile:

What about April Wine? Roller is good butt rock.

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 9:57am PKNY:

@Cecile - "I Like to Rock"! April Wine get props for simultaneously ripping off "Day Tripper" and "Satisfaction" in the breakdown.

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 9:57am Reeshard:

If 'Psychedelic Pill' proves anything, it's that NY's producer David Briggs is dead. At least Briggs knew how to edit NY & Crazy Horse.

Wed. 7/1/15 10:00am Polyus:

Mashmakhan, who were about the only interesting part of that Festival Express movie. Drummer went on to April Wine.

Wed. 7/1/15 10:00am Marcel M:

Something that threw me off with that Psychedelic Pill record was how straight and clean the drums sounded. I always liked how sloppy Crazy Horse was... but I did enjoy that record over all.

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 10:00am bobdoesthings:

what about the seed patenting? anything on their seed patenting?

Wed. 7/1/15 10:01am Brendan:

The Secret Canadian Complaints Choir would be nice . Them smug sum bitches would have you think that they are too polite to complain, what, with being Canadians, but I'm not buying it. I think they have some serious gripes.

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 10:01am Reeshard:

Ah, Ken is waxing ironic here...

Wed. 7/1/15 10:01am Cecile:

Disclaimer, I have a little crush on Adam Lambert. I want him to be my BFF.

Wed. 7/1/15 10:02am Claw!:

Wed. 7/1/15 10:02am Cecile:

HORRIBLE. Please play T-Bone.

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 10:02am Reeshard:

OMG this Monsanto thing is even worse than I'd feared...

Wed. 7/1/15 10:02am Brendan:

Its no beefaroni

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 10:02am Vivian:

That Neil, he loves to whistle, doesn't he?I agree with Cecile, play T-Bone or Cortez..

Wed. 7/1/15 10:02am Marcel M:

Good Lord Neil...

Wed. 7/1/15 10:02am Mark S:

Those are the Canadian pronunciations

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 10:04am Goyim in the AM:

Can't imagine Ken being interested in a Neil Young record with a huge chunk of biology and chemistry in it. (sarcasm)

Wed. 7/1/15 10:04am Yvang:

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 10:07am cory:

Ken, do you have any McKenzie Brothers?

Wed. 7/1/15 10:07am Claw!:

I think "Canadian Idiot" by Weird Al would be very appropriate here, but y'all know that I'll take any excuse to push for His Weirdness.

"Check The O.R." by Organized Rhyme would also be apt. What's more Canadian than a young Tom Green rapping?

Wed. 7/1/15 10:08am dale:

Yah the King Kahn diaspora! Les Sexareenos, Spaceshits, BBQ etc

Wed. 7/1/15 10:13am Lewis:

I note that even brief excepts from the new Neil Young don't even merit mention in the play list….

Wed. 7/1/15 10:14am dale:

Wed. 7/1/15 10:14am Neg-guh-tor:

Nick Gilder. Scratch Riff Raff. He's from Houston.

DREAM WARRIORS! I have this cassette!

Wed. 7/1/15 10:27am Cecile:

I made a friend buy this without a cover at the Salvation Army. He liked it a lot.

🎃 Wed. 7/1/15 10:28am Reeshard:

Right! Just came to me: The "Stick mud in people's heads…" sample was used in Jay's audio collage theme for the old 'Thunk Tank.' Glad I remembered that, would've bugged me all day...

Leslie Morris, Joni's conservator, has approved the following statement to be made through JoniMitchell.com: "Joni did in fact suffer an aneurysm. However, details that have emerged in the past few days are mostly speculative. The truth is that Joni is speaking, and she's speaking well. She is not walking yet, but she will be in the near future as she is undergoing daily therapies. She is resting comfortably in her own home and she's getting better each day. A full recovery is expected." You may leave your well wishes for Joni at WeLoveYouJoni.com
