no I'll back him up on that.. most of those bands are really bad. Listen to botch and converge instead. f the rest.

off topic...greatest despair of a generation quote of all-time:

"whoever heard of a gang of ballplayers after losing going into the clubhouse singing at the top of their voices? that's what happens every day after the games of the present time.
in my days, the players went into the clubhouse after losing a game with murder in their hearts. they would have thrown out any guy on his neck if they had even suspected him of intentions of singing. in my days, the man who was responsible for having lost a game was told in a man's way by a lot of men what a rotten ballplayer he really was. it makes me weep to think of the men of the old days and the boys of today. it's positively a shame, and they are getting big money for it, too." -Bill Joyce (1890s player), 1916

just read that in the historical baseball abstract and got a kick out of it.

Well, I've never heard of a gang of ballplayers. So I guess his generational bias is correct.

Sorry Geddy, I like you bud.

i love those guys fwiw

the hip have been playing awesome blues-rock for 23 years now, 11 albums, 10 junos (canadian grammys). ygos if you dont like this.

lol Canadian Grammys are called "Junos."

that's funny. i don't see the tragically hip listed anywhere in the post that willie was responding to.

Almost as vividly as I remember this:

I guess by now it's been discovered who this band is, but Tragically Hip is one of my fave-raves. But hey, Detroit is 1/4 mile (400 meters ldo) from Canada, so you'd have to expect us to know the Hip.

I'll give you guys Neil Young. I saw him a few months and he ended the show by rocking A Day in the Life and smashing his guitar into a hundred pieces. I'll probably be dead by his age

i thought he was responding to the subthread of cdn music posts.

lol, all good.

I am a big hoser in that pic, I know. Billy Mac is the man though.

one of the greatest songs ever imo

though Levon Helm is an American

and the song is about the Civil War

In Canada Ben Johnson was Canadian when he won the medal. After they took it away, we all said "did you here about that Jamaican guy who lost the medal."

best canadian hardcore band is Chokehold. so sick.

truthfully canada ain't all bad.

The Band is the most legit Canadian brag so far ITT.

yeah, cabbie is about all we have going for us

Seeing as I work at the Beer store, I will have to disagree with this.

Provincially-mandated monopolies on the sale of beverage alcohol suck IMO.

I worked there in college. Awesome job.

It used to be. It has sucked since we started taking liquor store empties.

F the beer store, and the liquor store

I want drive-thru beer at 3AM

Yeah sorting empties sucked. Working on the delivery trucks was pretty sick though.
