Vinyl Cafe thread (thread will likely die very soon)

Does she like Jian Ghomeshi?

As for Stuart's weird speech patterns, watch a YouTube video of him to see what causes it...

I'm not following: are his speech patterns something more than an affected cadence?

As for Jian, great radio host, but...on a Canada Day many, many years ago, I was working at a record store, and he came in with his band Moxy Fruvous for an in-store performance. After the show, we were chatting and he asked if I was coming to the show they were playing later that night. I didn't have the heart to say that I hated his band, but luckily I had an out: Huevos Rancheros were also playing that night at a different venue.

He scoffed at me, made a  smarmy "hmff" sound, and said, "that band that sounds like Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet?"

To which I responded, "better than that band that sounds like the Barenaked Ladies."

On another Can-Con tip: is the New Pornographers Hyundai Accent commercial running stateside?

Well he got put in his place here
Billy Bob Thornton 'Blow Up' on Q TV
Billy bob was acting a tad difficult but still its fun to see

I' be lying if I said I didn't enjoy that on some level.

Meant to add to my previous post: Dave, your podcast list is dizzying! Honestly, I can't keep up with more than a 1/2 dozen subscriptions at a time before it starts feeling like work!

[Sarah]

But Dave, you see, has the advantage of being a compulsive nutbird.  (I can say that because I'm one, too.)

This is a new term for me.  What means it?

The Vinyl Cafe is the second most Canadian thing you've ever heard after you've heard this thing: http://www.cbc.ca/thedebaters/. "The show where arguments are won with funny and with fact" and hot-button issues like "are weddings a waste of money?" and "social networks: more harm than good?" are finally given the national attention they deserve.

The completely irrational but still really strong hatred I feel for Stuart McLean is rivaled only by how inexplicably angry that fucking Denise lady on Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap makes me feel when she reads from their "mailbag." (Also, I take everything I've said back, Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap will be, if you can bring yourself to listen to it, the most Canadian thing you've ever heard.)

I still listen to all of this stuff, though! I grew up listening to Radio One and only Radio One and even now I can't stop. I could recite that stupid Dave and Morley Christmas story word for word if I had to. Denise notwithstanding, I actually even kind of like the Tap, except I think that might just be stockholm syndrome. I wish I knew how to quit you, CBC.

Is Vinyl Tap the thing where he explains the story behind every Guess Who song and plays it? As if anyone cares

Exactly what you'd think.

It's hard to explain - and I haven't had a chance to dig up a video - but there is a real physicality to what he does in person, he's almost dancing in place, looking like he's looking for the nearest washroom, and I think it's all of a piece, the cadence and the dancing.

Thing that Emma said about Denise McCann

On my recent trip to NY, there was a record store by the Comedy Cellar that had half-dozens of her old singles, 3 for a dollar, Emma.  I bet if you called, they'd put them aside for you!

It's about rock history. I kind of like the show - he's got lots of good first person anecdotes about almost everyone. It's definitely corny, but I enjoy it when I stumble onto it.

Though now that I think about it, it's possible that I've only ever heard one episode: the Motown one.

I care! Randy Bachman is like your rock and roll dad! It's such a goofy show, he plays the hits then talks and has his guitar on and plays little things on it. He's got stories for miles and wrote so many big dumb hits. I love the guy.

Also The Guess Who are the Canadian Beatles.

-AG

[amiright??]

I wish he would share some of these stories for miles.

He basically says "Oh, I know this guy, from the time I/BTO/The Guess Who opened for him. Really talented. Really nice, and he seemed to like me."

The end.

Bring back Danny Finkleman!

Or at least play something from Brave Belt.

Did I show you my podcast list?

Want me to type up the 700 CDs I haven't heard yet?

[Sarah]

I knew you'd get it, Dave.

[Bryan]

Bring back Danny Finkleman!

Yeah, I loved Finkleman's 45s. It was kind of like the Best Show.

Ditto. I was a big fan back in the day but I never really saw the connection between Danny and Tom until you drew it just now. He was a lovable curmudgeon.
