John Schlitt - Shake Petra - No Doubt

What you doin' on the island? I found some pretty cool albums out there last year. VACATION. Where did you get them? Lyle's Place in Yates Street? That's the only one that I went to yesterday. Didn't go to that CD store near Chinatown. Fascinating Rhythm in Nanaimo. 51 Commercial St. I believe that's where I went. Even if it's not, you should still go there. Stuart McLean rates it in the top 5 record stores across Canada. Where are you staying? Victoria?

No full on cities.

Fire ON THE DOWNLINE - Edguy

Love those films, and I can't wait for the next lot.

Agree!!! Bloody hell!

Doh! My message was aimed at Karpet, but for some reason I thought I was replying to you. Must be your inextricable link to the Movies thread; Funny thing is - I wondered about exactly the thing you mentioned while I was watching it, i.e. "surely no one who isn't English is going to udnerstand what these guys are saying"? I didn't have a problem with the accents, but I'm sure that's the reason they're making an American version. I watch a lot of James Bond movies so I'm used to hearing the very prim and proper British (London?) accent... therefore the "street kids" in "Attack the Block," between the accents and the slang they used, sounded like they came from an entirely different planet Reminds me of years ago when I met John Gallagher of Raven - hell of a nice guy but his extremely thick Newcastle accent was a little hard to follow. The receptionist at my job at the time was originally from London and she had the very prim-and-proper Brit accent, I mentioned to her that I'd just met this guy from Newcastle and couldn't help but notice how different his accent was from hers, and she sez "Oh yes, Newcastle accents even sound strange to ME." Those northerners...They sound much different than Londoners. Especially South London. Throw in a few scousers for a laugh. He he. The London accent is closer to the way the fellas in 'Attack The Block' speak to "the very prim-and-proper Brit accent"! Okay, maybe a slight exaggeration, but if you want to hear how most people from London (and, indeed, most of the south-east of England) speak, watch five minutes of Eastenders. "Yeah, innit mate." "Naa what I mean?" "Yeah geezer. Sorted." Yeah, but that's not simply an accent. That's a whole nother dialect! ;}

My Grandad was from Newcastle ... when he met someone for the first time, he'd generally revert to a strong Newcastle accent just to confuse/annoy/upset them ... my Mum is Welsh and apparently still has an accent (although, obviously, I don't hear it) ... the 'London' accent has spread East ... Basildon is full of 'Londoners', innit? I love it. I'd do the same thing... if I didn't have such an easily understandable Canadian accent. ;} My first visit to the island was a rugby tour with my school. I was 16, and we started in Scotland. Edinburgh, I believe. I was so tired from all the travelling, but I didn't want to be rude, so I stayed up to talk with the family a teammate and I were billeting with. He had such a thick accent, and I managed to understand what he was saying, but my mate was just staring back with a "what the fuck are they saying?" kind of look.

SOFT Airplane - Chad VanGaalen

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN - Transit

Donkeyboy - Triggerfinger

Donkeyboy - Caught in a Life Donkeyboy - Silver Moon New single drops tomorrow. Sound fantastic, so far.

Of everything I've heard Rob Rock sing on (M.A.R.S., Angelica, Impellitteri, Avantasia, Fires of Babylon, Avalon, what else?) I still prefer his solo work. Most especially his latest effort, "Garden of Chaos."

I would cook the shit out that cookbook, if Rob Rock sang it to me.

What you doin' on the island? I found some pretty cool albums out there last year.

If I remember right it was only one song correct? It is def a different group. Not a great indie compared to others either. No. The High Heels album is only missing one song from the EZO release.

Yeah, that is a great song. They're from Vancouver? I'll have to see if they have any upcoming dates.
