Does that mean Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy are there extolling the notion that vaccines causes autism?

Free Popcorn!

If I were you Craig I would get at least a few garbage bags full for the long winter ahead.

Song Quest

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by aaadamaa

I'm dissapointed Old Man Luedecke isn't wrighting the song for NS. His songs are so... I don't know, real?

I am not familiar with David Myles, but I have been to the Hopewell Rocks. They are nice I guess. Don't get caught in the high tides.

NB Choice for Song Quest

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by aaadamaa

I was rooting for Fundy park. That is my favorite place in the world that I've been to yet.

Even though I spent 5 hours lost in the woods there last year, when it was getting dark, and me, and my friend, left very tired and bloody. (But it was SOOOO beautiful).

@Craig They just ran out of popcorn, sorry. (But at least MikeV won't be hungery this winter)

songquest

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by Bio Spice

i have to say "pukeroo" to Chantal Kravy-etc. for Manitoba. But that may be the snobby-indie-bee-otch in me speaking.

interested to hear what Martha Wainright comes up with for The Blacksheep Inn. Will she include Lucy the Pug in her song, as hoped for by Rich Terfry?

also Hawksley and Algonquin Park.

But here's a question I'd like to ask the artists when they're done. If they happen to not have any experience with the part of their province that they were "tasked" with writing a song about, how did they deal with it? Did they do research? Did they travel to that part of the province to get some quick personal experiences to write about? Because song-writing tends to reflect personal experience, right? How many of them already had a connection with that particular place? Will that be reflected in the quality/success of the songs, I wonder?

NB Choice for Song Quest

I actually voted for a song about the Point Lepreau Nuclear Power Plant.

this is the best wenzdee yet because i was so distracted this morning, I FORGOT that it's wenzdee! so when i heard the water cooler bubbles, I was verrrry excited for what was comig up

popcorn

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by Bio Spice

i like it too, craig. sometimes, i eat it with chopsticks.

13

@Bio Spice

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by aaadamaa

That is the best idea for like, chop-stick training I've ever heard. And I just happen to have popcorn, an urge to learn to use chop-sticks, and... 2 pens?

Anti Vaccine

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by tb3

Yesterday I was reading this Wired article when trying to distill information on what to do about the H1N1 and regular vaccines.

Two things soured me on the anti-vaccine campaign. One is that they quote the bible to defend their position. Two is this quote, from the article, which is pretty telling:

"Hence the death threats against Paul Offit. Curt Linderman Sr., the host of “Linderman Live!” on AutismOne Radio and the editor of a blog called the Autism File, recently wrote online that it would “be nice” if Offit “was dead.”

I’d met Linderman at Autism One. He’d given his card to me as we stood outside the Westin O’Hare talking about his autistic son. “We live in a very toxic world,” he’d told me, puffing on a cigarette.

It was hard to argue with that."

I have a hard time listening to a former Playboy model trying to tell me that vaccines are bad and cause autism, when there's no direct proof of that. Especially when we consider the messenger, likely is a byproduct of the plastic surgery arts.

You aren't trying to get bitten by a radioactive spider are you? Because that doesn't really work.

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by mynameismoe

free popcorn really is quite exciting!

i'm glad that catherine maclellan will be writing about pei. although, i feel that "the singing sands" is a little weak, i have to admit. i guess maybe it just sounds too commercialized, like a publicity stunt or something. it reeks of ann of green gables, which makes me shutter.

i know she'll make it beautiful, though!

popcorn and chopsticks

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by Bio Spice

oui monsieur, nous voullons pas gettez notre keyboard covered with butter when eating popcorn and computer-using at the same time.

it was a solution to a problem at the time. I'm not ashamed. tb3's solution to the same problem was putting the pocorn in a class and drinking it.

but aadmaa is right that it may be a good chopstick-training regimen as well. it may not be ideal because the popcorn is so light and has so many points to grab that it makes it too easy!!! when my good Chinese friends had me over for lunch, they started the meal with a saucer of peanuts (out of shell) so we could practice our chopstick use before diving in to the meal. it forced good technique.

I'm feeling grumpy this morning. I'm hoping that the magic of wenzdee will brighten my day.

In other news, I was reading my Spin magazine yesterday and saw a feature on the RAA! It was just one of those short one page things, but I was pretty excited to see them in there.

32

@stevierayk re. Stompin' Tom

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by Bio Spice

from my Radio2 Drive listenin' a couple of weeks back, although the the quest was for new songs about Canadian places not yet captured in song, they highlighted that there are a lot of Canadian place songs out there already by playing them, after a plug about the contest... and I heard Stompin' Tom at least once. trying to remember the name of the song... a town name... about being a farm-hand, I think??

33

@srk & @LeyLey

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by Craig Norris

Agreed. Stompin' Tom, not even mentioned? He's at least as obvious a choice as Joel Plaskett. I bet you this is just another reason for STC to be pissed at The Ceeb.

JUMBO VIDEO!!! Wow.

34

Bowie

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by littlebaygirl

Really, how is this man still alive???? truly amazing.

@ Craig - is the popcorn at the CBC employee fair? I think one of my co-workers is there exhibiting (and eating your popcorn)... but shhhh, don't go say hello. "they" don't know i stream my tunes!!

Yes, the popcorn is at the fair! Who's your friend? I'll tell them you don't say hi because there's no way I would have heard that from you because you're working and not streaming tunes at your desk.

You work at Point Lepreau and you haven't come in to Paul's Wharf for a visit? You're long overdue, my friend. It just so happens that we've got two must-see shows next month: Elliott Brood and Tom Fun Orchestra. So I'll see you soon, right?

oh, it's so true. i'm busy working at my desk, (I like to remember one thing a day - did any one else know that toluene can float on water and spread fires? but don't worry, it's not cancerous, or so they think.)

I'm definitely not multi-taking by streaming R3, nor spending time being jealous of your free popcorn.

@axis

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by aaadamaa

I've been here less than 2 months, and still havn't got around to actually exploring the place.

(Getting up at 6AM ruins your life...) And i'm gone on the weekends.

So, to the point: Who's this Paul fellow, and where's his Warf...

Cause I've been checking the concert calendar for Saint John, and it's as if all the bands think this place is full of the pluague or something. ...it isn't, is it?

53

typo, and frozen veggies

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by littlebaygirl

typo: multi-taking = multi-tasking, in case there was confusion.

frozen veggies - my brother's black Lab LOVES frozen beans. which was fine by me... beans must be cheap because they are in every bag of mixed froz veg

Saint John harbour is with no doubt a breeding ground for at least several plagues.

Pork chops, stir fry = cook up with garlic, hoisin sauce, and orange juice. Add mango, if you have some.

Actually, srk has a fear of "Hoth".

You must have mis-read.

60

@ LeyLey re. porkchops

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by axis

My mom always lightly breaded and browned the porkchops with paprika and garlic in a pan, and then transferred them to a baking dish, covering them in a sauce made with ketchup, brown sugar, and lemon juice (not sure the proportions), and baked them for an hour. Sweet and sour and so, so tender. My favourite comfort food.

Sorry I can't tell you the exact recipe for the sauce, I just don't usually measure. I think it's about 1½ cups of ketchup to ¼ cup of brown sugar and a couple tablespoons of lemon juice? And then I put in a liberal dose of cayenne pepper which my Mom never did, cause I like it spicy. Not exactly health food.

61

@Craig

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by MikeV

oh

Well that make more sense. Hoth is a terrible place.

Aaadamaa re. Saint John shows

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by axis

Stick with me, I'll keep you in the loop. Saint John always has trouble attracting shpows consistently. Our best promoters, Medusa and Lefty moved away, and the venues keep closing down. There is a show this Saturday at le Faubourg, with Slowcoaster and Divine Heist Here's the facebook event http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=138491553883&index=1

64

@ Axis and LeyLey

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by littlebaygirl

i think ketchup, brown sugar and lemon juice is basically BBQ sauce (if you don't happen to have the other three ingredients handy)

sounds good!

65

@MikeV, @Craig

Nah, Hoth isn't so bad. Especially when you can sleep inside the belly of a Tauntaun.

Your recipe sounds much easier and delicious. I'm getting hungry. Wednesdays I get to make awesome meals for my kids because I don't go to work until 6. Other days I don't usually see them til after dinner and I miss cooking for them. I'm thinking porkchops tonight!

Po'k chops aren't unhealthy either. Really, "healthy eating" is all about eating LOTS of different things, de-emphasizing the previous North American habit of eating lots and lots of meat.

And donuts. And chips.

I was being a smartass about hyperlinks.

Pleople keep posting links in the body copy, or bit.ly links when all you really need to do is click the linky looking thing in the compose window.

I also don't think people are making enough use of the link title data in the link creator. For me their little easter eggs to leave for those who leave the mouse hangin' before you high five the link.

Ah, sorry. Maybe that will help some folks anyways.

May I take this opportunity to complain about the use of bit.ly links? I'm used to being able to see where a link goes (by hovering and looking at the status bar), and bit.ly takes that away. I mean, it's understandable on twitter and such, where you need to save characters, but here there's no reason to do it.

I had a meeting all morning so I haven't had my fill of "It's Wenzdee" today. Can I expect some before the show is up?

What can I say, I'm lazy about my link making but at least it was still a clickable link.

so, are you an XTC fan, or do you just like Chalk Horses?

A solution might be that your friend change input devices. I don't use a stylus, and I don't know if another device even exists that could substitute.

What I'm saying is based on having come close to carp-in-the-tunnel syndrome, with a standard Microsoft wheelmouse; I avoided the problem by getting a Logitech ballmouse. It allowed more variation of hand position.

Advice Please

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by MusicSoop

Okay the Facebookers have weighed in but I need some more advice... Tomorrow night should I go see Land of Talk or Slipknot? I really wish they were playing together.

Land of Talk! No question about it.

118

Huh

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by keydive

I don't think I have ever heard the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Chior played on R3.

Neither.

Go to the sports bar and request Brooks and Dunn.

Failing that avoid Slipknot. At all costs.

Fan of chalk horses.

I really like stuff that comes from olden times, no-one being too sure when.

Did XTC use a similar image? (Google, google). (Google is a god: got it. "XTC’s 1982 English Settlement album")

Here, a site on chalk horses (listed on the right; microscopic thumbnails do lead to pixxes.) Tum dedum dedum. http://www.wiltshirewhitehorses.org.uk/altonbarnes.html

Ooh, the linkification worked. Thanks, Absotively.

Really?

Wow. We've been playing them for a long time! They were in pretty heavy rotation, actually!

Last time I went to the sports bar I told them I only wanted to hear Dunn. I can't legally get into the details of what happened after but lets just say I was asked not to come back.

Clickable I can live with.

But if we're on the same wavelength of lazy, which I think we are, then having to copy and paste the link, that someone wants me to check out, means I won't. I'm too busy bottling my semen to keep from the witches to have to copy and paste a link.

Sadly, no.

Well....

at least you're finally bottling your own.

Chantal

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by MusicSoop

I like her! Winnipeg Hot Tub monopoly and all. I like indie-rock as much as the next person on here but Chantal does have a pretty awesome voice and if I have to pick a mainstream Canadian artist to listen to she'd be right near the top of the list. And yes, that song "Time" is a guilty pleasure. And no I don't like that song from Armageddon either.

127

@Craig

Posted on Oct 28, 2009 by keydive

Yeah. Maybe I just don't pay enough attention or they were in heavy rotation when I worked at one of my old companies and couldn't stream.

I have been a pretty big fan of there music for a while. It took me two concerts and a few trips to various music stores to buy all of their albums.

Plaskett, Old Man...

Ya, Old Man would have been desireable, but these things are popularity contests. So how could Joel not come out on top, especially considering the wave he's been riding for a few years, a wave that's been intensified by 3.

A bit like with the Sheep in Wakefield. Is it fair that Ontarians, no doubt mostly from Ottawa, determined the choice for Québec?

Maybe not, but it's a fact due to the, um, demographics of the anglo CBC radio audience in and near Québec...

Same with Old Man Ludecke (sp? too lazy to check). He is excellent, but in a popularity contest...

129

@Benoit...

Agreed, Sir.

Damn witches, you gotta start cleaning out the traps more often. There's just too many of them to catch.
