Sure, but ahead of Glass Tiger? It just doesn't make any sense....

They will get their due, along with Honeymoon Suite and Haywire, any year now.

Dare I dream that dream?

Do you think Bryan Adams will appear during their indoctrination and sing back up on Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone?

rbaron71: Triumph is getting inducted into the Hall of Fame tonight - it's about time!

I agree.

Bob_Laublaw: Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone?

I saw Glass Tiger with Honeymoon Suite a couple of years ago at a crappy bar and they actually didn't do that song. They tried to rock it up as much as they could.

Russell Peters is interesting as a host. I enjoyed the opening number "Alberta Bound".

They really are trying to make a big deal of the Junos. Calgary is helping by being super-receptive. Nice to see.

dammit, I missed the first half hour. Wanted to see Russell Peters opening.

I was listening to CKUA yesterday. Terry David Mulligan had Gil Moore, Tom Cochrane, Sean Verrault and Jim Cuddy on at the same time. I would have given a nut to be there.

Greetings from Canada's Mexico.

Rush better get a ton of love for Snakes and Arrows and Triumph (in particular Rik) deserve every accolade they get! I've seen Rik solo more than a dozen times and Triumph 3 time including a show where they filmed the video for Follow Your Heart and I have been a huge fan forever! Here's to Canadian Power Trios! Thank you guys very much for sharing Rush and Triumph with us.

The induction of Triumph was great. Very heartfelt, and much like their shows, they were good (particularly Mike Levine) at working the crowd.

The SO and I are surprised at how much we're enjoying the show.

Feist cleaned up. Just glad Celine didn't get anything. TWO nominations for best album?

Blue Rodeo wins best group too, kickass.

Yummy.

That movie has it's own award show now?

It wasn't that good...

Mugato: Yummy.

yes.

and as a perverted dirty old man i enjoyed that movie a bit too much. was actually disappointed that she didn't really give him the vasectomy, after having to cringe through it as a viewer.

Mugato: Yummy.

but dude she's only 14

anyone remember TPOH?

/juswonderin'

drjekel_mrhyde: Mugato: Yummy.

but dude she's only 14

I was talking her in Hardcandy

uncre8tv: Mugato: Yummy.

yes.

the term you're looking for is "Castration"

vasectomy just means your swimmers don't carry the important stuff

castration means you don't have the really important stuff anymore

The what awards?

/huh?

Neon Bible was awful. Tegan and Sara should have won alternative album of the year.

You know, the Juno awards... Canada's Grammy's...
I think the way they work is if people in the U.S. have heard you, you win...

Heist: Tegan and Sara

For jumping on the electro bandwagon 5 years too late?

skribble: anyone remember TPOH?

/juswonderin'

Cigarette Dangles.

Electro? Have you heard The Con? Only one song (Are You Ten Years Ago) can qualify as having significant electro influences, and it's not even a single.

Heist: Neon Bible was awful. Tegan and Sara should have won alternative album of the year.

Incorrect sir. Neon Bible owns you.

joethorne.: Heist: Neon Bible was awful. Tegan and Sara should have won alternative album of the year.

Neon Bible topped their debut, which I thought was incredible at the time...

Juno, like the city in Alaska...

Jakevol2: Juno, like the city in Alaska...

No.

wait

someone tried to say The Con was late-model-electro pop?

hilarious

its still mostly two chicks on guitars

I predict Rush is going to be totally hosed over by Celine Dion and Nickelback, eh.

Did Tragically Hip win anything?

The Juno Awards- the only Juno related event not likely to involve cute teenage girls getting pregnant.

Did Helix or Kick Axe win anything tonight?

skribble anyone remember TPOH?

Sure do, saw them at the Ont. Place Forum. Great show. I've seen Moe on the subway.

Btw, can't say I'm that thrilled about Triumph, Inc.

skribble: anyone remember TPOH?

I'm an adult now.

Heist: Neon Bible was awful. Tegan and Sara should have won alternative album of the year.

I think you might have gotten those mixed up.

Killer Miller: Did Helix or Kick Axe win anything tonight?

Helix, now they had good lyrics. Gimme an R - O - C - K, and the crowd yells 'rock' really loud, now that's what I call a f*ckin' concert

lolmadillo:

Was it castration? Ah, yeah, the trick with the jar. It's been awhile. I remember her line about it being a quick simple procedure, so I just mentally filed it as vasectomy. Plus my wife loaned me some meds today so I'm a little slooooooow.

/ farkin ow.. just remembering it...

drjekel_mrhyde: Mugato: Yummy.

but dude she's only 14

She was 17 while filming Hard Candy and she's 21 now.

/doesn't care even if she was 14
//it's not ike I'm IMing her
///yet

You sir, are full of win.

I think it is hilarious and kind of sad that the official thread for a major nation wide awards ceremony has only 41 comments.

/Canadian
/Didn't watch it either

I came here to say "41 replies, that's more than the actual people who watched the show" but lue42 more or less beat me to it.

And did Russell Peters do any race jokes? I watched a DVD of one of his performances and it was one long "Indians vs other races" joke. Funny at first, then not so much.

Whoa, this got greenlighted? Cool!

To sum up the show, the SO and I were really impressed. Fellow Calgarians, we should take a bow at how well we did as a host city for our nation's music celebration.

Great to see the love for Blue Rodeo and Triumph.

Russell Peters made the same joke as you - "I've never watched the Junos before, so that makes me...Canadian." He did do a few race jokes, but not too many. He also did a pretty impressive job in one segment scratching records on a turntable.

Best Junos ever.

I was in the front row at the press confrence after...Feist is maybe the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen!

I started the thread half-jokingly, but it only went green after the show was over, so there's that.

What is the standing of these guys with the Juno folks? Are they in the Canadian HOF?

I just pissed The Sadies didn't win. New Seasons was a great album, and those guys are the best live band going in Canada right now.
