Kid's album?
Don't put Geddy's face anywhere on the packaging.
It'll give them nightmares.
/Rush fan

I wonder if he'll sing the chart-breaking tune Take Off...

why a combo of 2 canadian suck?


why not a combo of 2 canadian win? My vote would go for SKINNY PUPPY with LEONARD COHEN singing.

CAn even be a kids album too!

As cliché as it sounds, don't judge the Barenaked Ladies off of their singles. "One Week" and "Another Postcard" don't resemble the rest of their work at all (and "Another Postcard" is probably the most disposable song they've ever done), but those are the only songs from the band that most people I know have heard.

Almost everything they did after the Rock Spectacle live album is pretty bad (though I always thought "For You" is one of the best songs in their catalog), so for me the Barenaked Ladies are the music they made before they really blew up in the States.

Wow, a children's album? I wonder what They Might Be Giants ripoff they'll give us next.

/probably a series of donut commercials with George Wendt

Ladies have'nt been good since Born on a Pirate ship.

Oh, dont get me wrong, bein Canadian I know all about them. I will conceive that they are pretty on-the-spot musically, I saw them perform live on tv so many times...

BUt stuff like "if i had a million dollars" make me want to put a long 12 gauge inside my mouth.... why you have to be so happy for chrissake??? what are you, our canadian version of The Dead Milkmen?

suggestive_eye_movement: HappyHarryHardOn:


thank, hey Clark Kent, just want to say I agree a 100% on what you wrote about "the king" in your profile... I had to defend this guy so many times in conversations, but he's in many ways the new Lenny Bruce defending freedom of expression as far as im concerned

/sorry for threadjacking "a little"

WHO WANTS CAKE?

Sad to see noone got the "Take Off" reference in the headline.

I still say "10 bucks is 10 bucks"...it makes me laugh.

Further proof that all Rush articles get an automatic greenlight.

Basically all of "Gordon" is full of WIN. What a fantastic debut album...
"maybe you should drive" is pretty good too...

I nominate "Hemispheres" as Rush's best overall 70's album [*ducks*]
What... ? I think that the title track is actually better than 2112, and the other songs are pretty good as well... [tho "Circumstances" took a while to grow on me... damn he had a very high vocal range --- "screechy" --- on that one...].


/ has that "Bob and Doug McKenzie" album on vinyl

Chariset
WHO WANTS CAKE?

the cake is a lie.

A kids album? Whats it going to be about? They Might Be Giants have already covered the major subjects and a lot of other educational stuff throughout their career. It will be very difficult for them to pull this off without ripping off TMBG in some way, not that thats anything new.

I don't mind BNL, but after this they have officially been set in my mind as a paler, more bacony, watered-down, "for the masses" TMBG. Seriously, songs like "789" and "Crazy ABCs"? Did they think people wouldn't notice that TMBG have done this TWICE??? For shame.

"Geddy Lee, best bass player, ever, c`mon!"

What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy.

He doesn't sing like that anymore, you hoser. And he has a normal speaking voice. Not as deep and monotone as Neil's, but normal.

endlessben: What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy.

I know him
and he does

Martstar: Further proof that all Rush articles get an automatic greenlight.

Because Rush rules.

Next Christmas, get me a chainsaw.

Geddy--sounds normal if Canadian
Neil--deep, not a lot of inflection
Alex--lisps enough to set off my gaydar even though I know he's not

/got the "Take Off" reference

hahaha, that would be brilliant. :D

That, "For You" is definitely one of their best. I also like most of what they did up until Rock Spectacle, but I find that the stuff they released after that is hit or miss - there are a fair number of songs I think are amazing but the albums don't do it for me. Although their live shows are always a blast - I got to see them play a small university town here in about 2000/01, there were maybe a thousand people at this little outdoor concert on a field and we were right at the front. It was fantastic. :D

/there are tickets to Leonard Cohen on my fridge right now! ^___^ just over a month to go...

Am I the only one that got subby's super cool Kids in the Hall reference?

(Chad's 13th Birthday... strangely absent on You Tube).

Because Rush rules.

Came to say just that.

Third_Uncle_Eno: has that "Bob and Doug McKenzie" album on vinyl

Finally, someone got the "ten bucks" headline reference. There was a time where SCTV derivative humor wasn't obscure but I must be getting old.

/Wanna play Beer Hunter?

And youre my fact-checkin cuz!!




not enough pavement fans, too many canadians

If I had a Million Battlescars?
Dedicated to June Rowlands maybe?

"And a beer...in a tree."

Great album; great reference subby.

You guys know me...any thread with a Skinny Puppy reference makes my feet tingle.


/cEvin is.....
//You know what I'll say

Sooooo, TAKE OFF...to the Great White North.

TAKE OFF...it's a beauty way to go.

TAKE OFF...YOU...HOSERS!

/Hey, more beers are here.
//YAAAAAAAAY, MORE BEERS!
///I'm drunk and I'd like a nice story before I go to sleep.
////Hey, cowhead...chewing over there, your cud. Hey, stop chewing on the album.

//Pretty sure I've memorized that goddamn album.

Some dogs, as you know, are chain smokers.

endlessben, priestrape

Good show, you both beat me to the Pavement.

Next thing you know, he'll be askin' them for toasted backbacon sandwiches hold the toast.

I just canceled out your vote.
Skinny Puppy and Lenord Cohen? Gross.
We used to laugh at Skinny Puppy while waiting for D.O.A. to hit the stage.('86) Yuk. terrible band. Embarassing.

/RUSH, on the other hand..

Uh, so? You think the market for mainstream bands making children albums began and ended with TMBG?

Honestly, don't see the problem.

/Wanna play Beer Hunter?

yes... i had to think about where i knew that phrase "ten bucks is ten bucks" for a while [it was on the tip of my brain], but then it hit me.... w/ the help of the other comments in this thread :-P

I've actually only watched maybe three or 5 SCTV episodes... all when i was a kid / teenager... I didn't find them that funny back then, [i preferred SNL --- i know, i was naive...] but most of it was pretty dry satire... and a lot of it was clever too, now that i think about it....
gotta watch some again...

sure... we can play beer hunter... but I get to go first...lolz

/i think only like 1/3 of that album is actually funny, tho...
like half of that old phrase said "when it was good, it was really good" or something like that
