Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by krib

good morning, Craig. I have the day off so it's an extra long weekend. And, because I need to pack the van, there's a morning thunderstorm rolling through town right now.

02

Good morning

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by arcticwoman

I'm one of the few people staying behind today so that others can have some vacation time. That means that I am at work, yes, but also virtually alone in my office. Muah hah hah!

03

The Canoe

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by Wapuche

So, is there a particular significance to the canoe, or is it just there to taunt me with memories of that horrible Summer I spent at Camp Crystal Lake?

04

Addendum

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by Wapuche

Good morning to you, arcticwoman. Being alone at work is almost as good as not being at work at all. Almost.

05

It's a Royal wooden canoe

@pedro

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by Wapuche

I see. That's... that's great. I can't believe I didn't notice that right away.

07

Happy Friday!

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by hgummo

I absolutely LOVE this Royal Canoe song. Especially this last part with the gang vocals... so epic!

08

@arctic woman

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by mattyjames2001

I share your pain. I'd like to be not in the office at all today... but am here for the morning before I zip to the lake.

Craig and his rippin' tunes help keep me from being so lonely at work.

09

re empty offices

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by rhiannonevelyn

Same here. It's slightly depressing. I wouldn't mind if it were Tuesday, but I just want the weekend now so these intervening hours seem like torture.

Good morning!

Isn't it weird that the only way we really talk now is via the blog and not text messages? it seems backwards in technology somehow.

how was the Polymaths last night?

shaggy... not the cartoon character!

15

Cedar strip canoe?

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by boders

Is that for reals? It's called a 'royal' canoe? I wanna hear a heartwarming story of how it was built by Craig's pops when Spanky was a young Spanky and they had just moved to their new house and it's one of Spanky's most vivid memories from his very young childhood, standing in the workshop watching his father work.

Then I could relate, you know?

In case my dad is reading, 'Hi Dad, Love you, miss you, talk to you soon'

@mattyjames

how long did it take you to generate that lovely sentence? haha. brilliant.

17

@moniski; @arcticwoman; @mattyjames

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by Wapuche

Moniski- It does indeed. Nice one.

arcticwoman- Not intended to inflict pain. I always work alone, or from home, but I also work all hours. Including the weekend. So, I feel your pain.

Mattyjames- Sounds like a lovely way to see The Mountains and the Trees, and the ocassional Caribou.

I'm now officially having my mid-dissertation break. Three days off starting now- Three family birthdays....(fathers, cousin, mine) in three days. And how did my day start? A parcel from Vish! The Acorn mug I won by accident finally arrived. So it would feel wrong if i didn't pop in and say hi.

23

@moniski

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by mattyjames2001

It took me a whole 10 seconds to think up. And most of that was spent typing it out....

I already like your guys' additions to the run-on sentence better! haha.

@cam

How are you half-baked at 730 in the morning?!

Did someone wake and bake before work? hmmmm? No comment means yes.

Don't you think it's a little early to be smoking the BC bud? Do we need to organize an intervention?

Hey Ro!

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by boders

Hope you some great family revelry! At the TM&TT and TWoM show last week I was talking with Scott and Sean and you came up, mostly just how awesome you were etc..they said to say hi if I see you on the tubes, so 'Hey'

27

baked?

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by boders

c'mon guys..one doesn't have to be stoned to make a 'half-baked' comment....there likelihood goes up exponentially of course if one is! Where's Benoit to back me up on this?

28

@boders

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by zoot aloors

I'll let you in on the shaggy reference

Craig just interviewed Boxer the horse, posed the Q: What costume would you wear onstage?

Someone answered "Darth Vader, mask and all".

To which Craig replied" Sing through the mask? you'll sound like Shaggy...not the cartoon character"!

MAXI PRIEST NEVA FORRGET!!1!!

That is the danger in heading out to the Islands, even the Bahamas. If you're not careful, then Holy Fuck, the current will get you and, unless there are Boats around to rescue you, you may end up taking that Human Highway straight to The Burning Hell.

Agreed! And it's been so long since brunch, too. New phone soon, I swear. The show was perfect - no tears, just fun and dancing and singing along. And I saw the lovely Ms. DarBar.

Nice band sentence & nice additions to everyone that joined in. I hope you guys are this entertaining all day. Ughghhh work.

Hey gang,

Pick up the latest Pararie Dog. It has a great guide for picking out what we can do next weekend.

@garfielduk

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by Ro Cemm

I don't know about you, but I'm suffering from the hot hot heat here in the uk. If only i could find some Shad(e) or perhaps turn on the A.C, it's New. Man this town gets overrun by Feral Children in the summer time when the suuns out. If they aren't carefull they'll feel the back of my gianthand. Much as I enjoy the r3-30 i might have to tune in to the weather station to find out how long this weather is going to continue....day, months, years?

39

@Zoot

this weekend

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by rhiannonevelyn

I'm seeing Hot Blood Bombers at O'Hanlon's tonight, and then I have absolutely no plans for the rest of the weekend. Simultaneously relaxing and boring. I'm sure something will come up, though. Maybe some of aforementioned wobbly pops.

42

@Smashley

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by boders

That's awesome! I am 8 hours away from heading up to Whistler! My apologies once again for not spreading the word on the blog about the Dan show in English Bay. I was gonna mention that Yukon Blonde play at 6:00 on Saturday, but you'll be getting your Shambhala-on!

@anyone in Vancouver over the weekend - Yukon Blonde at 6:00pm, English Bay beach, lots of other music earlier in the day at Sunset..free

I can't wait either.... actually last weekend I thought the folk fest was this weekend!! I was both happy to have another weekend this summer (long weekend too), and disappointed in having to wait another week.

@Matty & Rhiannon

Do we want to attempt breakfast this weekend gang?? My wife and I are good to go if anyone else is.

51

@PainTreeLot

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by boders

We should party! Was originally going camping this weekend, but that has morphed into staying at a friends 'cabin' in Whistler, which shall be awesome nonetheless.

Music wise, should enough coherence be maintained, our group will be doing a group listening party to the shortlist, and then we'll score according to the excellent rubric Matt developed.

Regardless of coherence, everyone MUST colour the lovely Lana Gay (that means you too! There's prizes!) and we shall do that as well. And the whole weekend will be soundtracked by R3 fans ipods..should be wonderful!! (also, the Roadtrip edition of Grant's podcast is out now too! That'll cover the travelers for an hour or so..)

52

@Cam/my weekend

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by hgummo

Sounds like a great weekend! Hope you guys have tons of fun!!

I am taking it pretty easy this weekend because last weekend was so nuts... really looking forward to it actually! Sometimes you just need one of those quiet weekends to regain your sanity. My apartment REALLY needs cleaning and it will be nice to do some stuff around here. Not much going on music-wise here this weekend I don't think.

53

re: this weekend I will mostly be

My town has something called 'Canal Days' on tap.

Big Sugar(mental note: bring earplugs), David Wilcox, and Trooper converge for a Dad-Rock extravaganza.

Big Sugar are apparently back together. Loud as hell, good as hell.

You've pretty much nailed my weekend plans. Well, that and destroying the evidence. "Evidence of what?," you ask. Exactly.

Plausible deniability is what you should aim for, so saying you are getting rid of the evidence proves you had evidence in the first place

Yeah Jay we'll have to just wait for folk fest to hang out! We gotta get on that, by the way, gang. Our meet-ups and whatnot. We have to look organized for our out-of-town guests...

i am gonna apply for the associate producer job. i know i'm not going to get it, since i am still in radio school, but considering production at R3 is pretty much exactly what i want to do when i graduate, it can't hurt to show interest.

90

@Matt

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by MusicSoop

MoniSki? Um remember all those years you spent doing radio production in college? And the summer you were the re-recording mixer for Avatar? And your time as president of Clear Channel (Followed by the scandal after your failed attempt to merge STW and Royal Wood into "Said the Wood"). Hi-o. And all the episodes of WKRP in Cincinnatti you watched? I can't imagine a more qualified candidate.

Well you see, I a tad bit over qualified for the job i think. No? I'm so happy that you memorized my CV so well! But, I told you not to say anything about the scandal!!! I have a reputation to up hold!

94

I wish

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by rhiannonevelyn

all who decide to apply the best of luck. It would be so great to see someone we've all chatted with on the blog / become great friends with off the blog get the job! It would be such a cool opportunity.

95

I second Rhiannonevelyns sentiments

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by hgummo

Anyone from the blog who applies should at least have the advantage of being able to demonstrate their passion towards R3 and Canadian music! It would be awesome to see a blogger get it!

96

@MoniSki

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by MusicSoop

Oh yeah. So I shouldn't mention anything about "Holy Wood" or "Wood 65" or "Shout Out Out Out Wood" or "Royal Woodhands" either?

97

@regina

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by rhiannonevelyn

Yes, let's use the facebook group avenue of discussion after the weekend and figure out what we can get up to before the fest. Speaking of which, I have to work more on that flag...

@matty Sorry? I didn't think to mention it. I mistakenly assumed you'd know. So will I see you at the Exchange on Tuesday night? I'd better.

more on the ass. prod. job (and shameless self promotion)

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by kirkofdoom

the last thing i did for Evolution (the BCIT radio station which is run by the students) was a production shift; more specifically, Imaging, which are those splitters/bumpers/station IDs you hear all the time. (like, PEW ZAP POW, you're listening to [station])

if anyone feels like listening to the stuff i made, you can do so by clicking right here. (not to brag, but i got a 95 on the whole shebang, and a couple of them i am quite proud of. and even if you don't feel like listening to them all, listen to "one great city" for a chuckle).

though, like i said, i probably need to finish my schooling first. why oh why couldn't this posting have ome up at this time NEXT year???

I may check out Northcote at Fainting Goat tomorrow night. I enjoyed him when he played before Library Voices back in Feb or so. He was also hanging out at O'hanlons last night.

Rah Rah Presents a Tribute to Plants & Animals: Rah Rah Land

(Cause they have an album called La La Land! Get it?! maybe not)

Speaking of "presents" albums... how come we never hear any of Kevin Drew's stuff from 2008? Highly underrated. And "Safety Bricks" keeps popping up on my ipod lately.

Oh man, I didn't know Northcote was playing tomorrow night. I might go see him. In addition to being talented, my impression is that he's a super nice dude. He's opening for the Wooden Sky and Yukon Blonde in October, another show we'll have to hang out at! Perhaps a good show for the Regina Chapter Gets Classy evening?

a) there's zero advertisting for anything

b) Rhiannon is cell-phone-less these days

c) where the heck is Jenelle?!

d) I spend way too much time at the golf course to go to shows. Can't be outside all year long, ya know?

@hgummo, mattyjames, boders

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by rhiannonevelyn

Once I used a big word in a text to Matt and he said "Okay Cam" which I then learned meant I used a big word he didn't understand. I think "pulling a boders" means a lot of different things these days.

I think the word was "omniscient." Probably unfair for a text message conversation anyway. Soryy Matt.

Since it's Friday we can up the ante - one drink for every time Cam's posts includes words that no one understands.

Don't think so. TM&TT are doing two shows 2+ hours away in SK from us... so he probably should've just came here? I dunno. If he's going to Winnipeg you have to pass through Regina pretty much anyway.

Said The Whale aren't really on my "bands that I'd drive to go see" list, plus they're here on Tuesday I guess.

Drinking Game

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by Wapuche

I believe we already established that it was 3 drinks for any mention of genetically modified anything.

It should be one drink for suggesting a new drinking game item. Which could snowball very quickly. Excellent.

143

@matty

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by rhiannonevelyn

Yukon Blonde - YES! Can't wait.

Keep in mind I work in the office where all these things are booked, so I hear pretty early. You're right, advertising isn't great. Are you in the Exchange's fb group? Messages go out fairly regularly from there.

@musicsoop yeah, I'm super sad to be missing TM&TT but I just can't make the trip this time. As far as STW, they'll be here Tuesday so it makes more sense to just go then.

..a genetically modified bacon drink?

Ah that might be dangerous. We're talking alcohol poisoning at that point I think?

If you're to the point where you're imbibing a GMO-bacon drink, it's probably a sign that you're calling in sick for the rest of the afternoon. What you do after that is your own business.

I have bacon infused bourbon sitting at home as we speak. How about instead of a drink for every bacon mention we do it this way: as soon as a post degenerates to talk of bacon, slam your drink

re: saskatchewan pronunciation

Posted on Jul 30, 2010 by rhiannonevelyn

The video from Podahkins [156] is definitely a new one to me haha.

But I've had this conversation a few times. Even born-n-raised Saskatchewan folk sometimes emphasize the "wan" - see Marshall Burns in this song. For the purpose of the song but still. I know people who live here (me, on occasion) barely pronounce the word anymore - Sskatchewn - so I'll take a well-enunciated version with an over-pronounced "wan."
