Re: Michael Jackson RIP
Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson all in the space of just a couple of days. They say these things come in threes. Michael's story was a tragic one - I think all of the allegations against him, the general freakiness and the fact that he hadn't really contributed anything to pop music i...

Re: Relay For Life 2009
Under the risk of coming off as nepotistic, I should point out that Red has been working tirelessly as a volunteer for the Canadian Cancer Society over the past two years. She'd love to work for them, but the reality is that they rely heavily on volunteers because they can only justify putting so ma...

Re: well, what do you think of
I like it a lot. I purposely sought out the vinyl this time and I'm glad I did, for the sake of "Femme Fatale" and "What Lewis Did Last." Surprised there was no download code in the package though!

Re: Jay Bennett R.I.P
This is extremely sad. Although Jay hasn't been a part of Wilco since Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, he was a pivotal part of the transition that took place between Being There, Summerteeth and that album. I doubt very much Wilco would have ever found their more cutting-edge sound without him.

Re: Best of 2009 -so far
Nice list. I haven't been overwhelmed by much yet this year, though I have high hopes for the new Elvis and Wilco records in June. So far I'd say my favourites of the year would have to be Neko Case's Middle Cyclone and Richard Swift's The Atlantic Ocean , but I know I have a lot more exploring to do.

Thanks, everybody!
Been stuck at work all day which is a bit of a drag, but I'm looking forward to celebrating with Red tonight.

Re: new Dylan
Shocker of the century: BlueChair is underwhelmed by a Bob Dylan record. It's not that I dislike it, I just don't find it to be particularly satisfying. "My Wife's Home Town" has got to be the worst Dylan "original" in years. If Dylan is going to lift entire blues songs note-for-...

My dad is a "friend of Massey Hall" and managed to order us tickets for the show. Can't wait. Also hoping to catch Fleet Foxes at Massey Hall earlier in the month of August.

Re: Record Store Day - April 18, 2009
Was hoping to pick up a few of the exclusive singles at Sonic Boom in Toronto, but I think I got there too late as they were mostly picked over.
Oh well, I'll be having my own personal Record Store Day on Saturday when I return to the Hollywood mecca of Amoeba Records.

Spectacle Season 2 - Dream Lineup
So I think we've discussed some of our "dream guests" before, should Elvis and the networks renew the series for a second season. But with twelve slots to fill, who would you like to see facing off with Elvis next season? Here's my dream lineup, comprised of people who Elvis has either exp...

Re: Beatles remasters
Great news as the CDs I have are crap in comparison to some stuff from the era that's been reissued. However, I wish these were SACD a la Dylan's back catalog. I fear that SACD is a dead format. Even the SACDs they had put out for Dylan are out of print, having been replaced with regular remastered...
