He rides the mic, goes through hankies about 1 every five minutes and at times drops into these trances while the two guitarists set sail on some amazing solos. They are playing here this summer at Bluesfest. |

Music for music lovers. I would say they are not very well known here. I discovered them in the late 80's when I had an old satillite dish and got the Canadian station Much Music. Does that still exist? I found a lot of great artists on there, Canadian and others. I have 3 of their albums and have seen them twice. I believe they opened for Page/Plant. Also saw them at a small club in St. Louis. Great shows! They are one of my favorite bands. |

I first heard this song broadcast from a Toronto radio station as I drove along the New York Thruway near Buffalo 15 years ago.I had never heard of this ecentric band that apparently everyone in Canada and many in The States had.I fought the temptation to call in a radio request in 2005 as reports of Katrina rolled in.To this day this riff is one of my favorites.

Frankly, making valid points coherently would be a refreshing change. Having said that, I'd point out that from time to time, there are some startlingly insightful comments from time to time. |

I would say the album 'Fully Completely' was my favourite Hip release. Its so weird seeing people commenting on this group as though hearing it (as the case may be) for the first time. These guys are established legends in Canada. |

So the last note in this song sounds like the first in a Dick Dale song that I can't remember the name of. Just saying...

Oh, and yes, "that being said" is used far too often. Users assume that the listener needs some hand-holding to follow logic. If you have to use something, use "further...". My office mates and I discussed this ("at the end of the day" of course) and decided we would slap the next jerk that used it. Also, "shut the f*ck up" is used far too often. heeheh

Always better to get the common ground established right away, then determine where the differences are. That being said....kidding! Kidding! |

The group took their name from a Michael Nesmith video entitled Elephant Parts Darn - I always assumed they took it from the last line of the chorus to Elvis Costello's Town Cryer I'm the town crier And everybody knows I'm a little down With a lifetime to go Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place Why don't you take a good look at my face Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip |
