As far as I know, the Harbor School reading is open to the public. ... From: Jordan To: rheostatics@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 1:53 PM ...

Jeesh, Jay, if I had known it was you standing by the stage (I should have known) I would have joined you instead of my standing twenty feet away from the band...
Allison: I like the "givin' er" part of your review. That's such a B.C.ism: "Give 'er!!" One day, I will travel back home to the island, so I can see a...
So, apparenlty Billy Talent was the best group of the year. And instead of Neil Young* we get A Simple Plan. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH why do I...
Whatever, man... Billy Talent are a class act. They are some of the most humble and nicest guys I've ever met. (okay, so they're friends.) If you don't like...

kd did an amazing "Helpless'; not to mention "Halleluiah" ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Get it on your...
It's cool that they are humble and nice. Infact, I retract a bit upon hearing there acceptance speech, and thanking many CanRockers. However, they are not the...
Doesn't it seem strange to anyone else that sometimes, people in this group trash talk other bands/types of music? Shouldn't the fact that we are drawn to...
Thank you Mike. That's my point too! There seems to be this attitude around here that bands/artists that achieve success are automatically sell-outs and...

To the guy who was bashing K-OS: Did you even bother listening to K-OS' latest album "Joyful Rebellion" or are you just another one of those muso snobs who...
yes, the dreaded trash talk is playground material, but i can see where the angst comes from whilst discussing the junos or "popular" music for that matter....
So, I'm gonna try to clarify some things I've said, and in the process probably cause a second shit storm - hooray. I'm not really trying to debate the...
I really loved The Junos last night. It was a class act. I wasn't even offended by Randy Bachman's closing number with the gang. Ron Sexsmith, yeehaw! That...
... I didn't see much of the Junos, but I did see KD and the Hip (way too late during the rebroadcast). I gotta agree -- I don't like the Hip's new stuff as...
Without aiming in any direction in particular, I've got to say the term "solid dick punch" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. I've almost just ...
Fuckin' giver, buddy!! Everyone has seen FUBAR, I presume? If not, GET THEE TO THINE LOCAL VIDEO STORE, smoke one, drink one, and enjoy. I'm trying to...
I'm very surprised that a group of people united by their enjoyment and dedication to a group as unique and individualistic as rheostatics would care at all...
The ironic thing is that all that the Junos represent as "Can-Rock" is in fact just pale immitations of the U.S., which is Canada's eternal dilema. We shine so...
What's wrong with "Introducing Happiness" and "Claire?" These are well-crafted, intelligent songs. Does their catchiness make their writer less of an artist? ...

Perhaps not that it makes the bands better, but that it makes us want to promote them more. Hmmm? Para examplar, while I thoroughly enjoy a good dose of ...
I think what a lot of this boils down to is a fan's sense of ownership. When a favourite band is largely unknown or unheralded by the gen pop, we have a sense...
That's a Nick Drake song in that ad?! Awesome! I gotta get some of that! Sorry Guy... I know that's exactly what's pissing you off, but I just couldn't resist....

Agreed. I think Intro and Claire are great songs.... To me, it's two things. The first is a frustration that something you know is great isn't recognized as...
