Morning all, hope the long weekend was stellar!
Grant - I agree on your Album of the Year, Group of the Year and Hip-Hop Recording. The others, not sure...I'll let everyone else arrive and weigh in.
We should also mention how the Canucks finished the regular season at the top of tables! WOOOOOO
A Desolation Sound/Lawrence Cabin report please. Everyone who bought the book has a right and need to know.
This always makes me feel like I should be listening to more east coast music.
Good Morning Grant from Doug The Canuck.....and.....FINN THE CANUCK!!!! Born March 24th.
Glad to see Mark Bragg and The Olympic Symphonium in the nominee list. Looking forward to another great trivia show. How long before I can call in again???
"the adults looked for alcohol in the backyard"
Keys Party, much?
Had an interesting weekend...
After 3 and a half months of keeping my mouth shut, my wife Amy and I came out with it...
WE'RE HAVING A BABY! We're so excited and now that it is "out in the open" I thought I'd share it with my blog buddies!
Amazing weekend!
Not everyone in BC had a 4 day weekend, Grant. Some of us were at work yesterday.
How I spent the weekend. The Wooden Sky at Luigi's in Sacramento.
@hungarian[8] - Congrats! Its baby day on R3.
@HungarianG - CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Wow, congrats to @Doug and @ HungarianG!
@HungarionG Congrats!
@Grant Just tuned in now, will you be giving us details about how to win those tracks on tracks spots?
@HungarianG - Exciting!!! Congratulations!
@Doug - Finn! I love the name. Congratulations!
It really is baby day!
@HungarianG. Congrats! That's very exciting.
Heading to a work-related lunch date shortly. I hope to return to my office and the blog in a couple hours.
Grant, for a possible jet set segment alter on, tonight Imaginary Cities will be playing at 7 PM Rockwood Hall followed by Yukon Blonde & Library Voices at Pianos at 8 PM, a popular club for Canadian acts in NYC. Fortunately, the two clubs are in the same Lower East Side neighborhood.
See ya later!
You don't hear that much hiphop with accordeon...
Too many babies! Dexter says hi.
@Caspianette #TracksOnTracks day is tomorrow (wednesdays!)
do you know how excited i am your coming to Fernie??? so excited!
HungarianG: Congratulations! The most amazingly scary and rewarding journey awaits you. Children give your life a whole sense of meaning and belonging that you never truly understand until you go through it.
Enjoy every last bit of the next 6 months! And soak in all the sleep you can get ;)
HungarianG, all the best in this new stage!
(P.s. check out the thumbnail, lerger, on my page; any photoshopping there? Borrowed from the web, so the question is legit.)
lerger = larger
mcfflyer: Did you receive the electronic mail that I seneded you?
Dear Christine, 19: ("Too many babies! Dexter says hi.") Does that mean you feed him babies?
mmmm eatting babies making you strong and soulless since 1876
Well done on the hip-hop start Grant!
pinky: :)
R3 Summer Shirt
What do you all think of this design? Anything you would change? Suggestions?
WOO WOO...its only in the mornin
Dexter does NOT eat babies...my cousin had his 1.5year old at an easter thing on Friday and my mom said he was really good with him.
He doesnt get to see babies often, so I think he is confused by these mini-human things.
@tb3 - Yes, I did, and I will do as you have requsted/demanded, Godfather of the FOTYs.
@zamm THAT FONT!!!!! definitely change the font. :p
i dont blame him, I'm confused by these mini-human things.
@Zammachus...shirtcocking, amazing photo ahhaa.
@zammachuz that shirt design is rather shocking... are YOU gonna rock it?
It doesn't fit in the hip hop opening set, or the general East Coast theme, but if you're taking requests today Grant, I need to hear:
The City You Live In Is Ugly by Young & Sexy.
Please and thank you.
@Doug The Canuck CONGRATULATIONS ON FINN!!!!!
@ Grant
oohhh if your taking request Shred Kelly
Hahaha. Gladly. Not a fan, either, but I was getting frustrated searching. Any suggestions?
Are you referring to the summer shirt or the 'Shirtcocking' one? I would wear both.
zamm, I like it, except for two things: 1) the stem seems a little massive and "old telephone receiver shaped; you might redo it, slimmer and a little more to the right?
2) the leaves say "lazy" (sorry) when one spots the mirror-imaging.
But I like everything else, as well as the overall design: fresh and clever, without being "clever".
Everyone should watch this video of Imaginary Cities with Chic Gamine on backup vocals. Two of my favorite local bands collaborating! http://youtu.be/k5r2GwsKxZw
Apprently I don't know how to post a link.
@pinky leigh I'm really excited to be coming to Fernie!
the steam seemed to thick to me as well
I'll put some more into the leaves and stems.
Re: Font.
Die in a fire.
@zamm Futura looks good on everything...usually
well that was quick. thank you, kind sir.
i miss young & sexy :(
is there a specific reason we're hearing this Young and Sexy track?
i'm late because there was skytrain issue this morning, not enough of that sound at the beginning of this track. maybe it wa mentioned in the intro .. which i missed.
many thanks Grant! I am proud to tell you that Finn is already a big fan of The Weakerthans.
at zamm
or TRAJAN! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t87QKdOJNv8)
@Doug. Congrats on your baby! Finn is a really great name!
@tb3 re #7 no Keys Party needed on an island!
Thanks to all for the kind words. We're really excited too!
at nvp
I requested it in comment #38, and even though I didn't specify, that is exactly the reason I did. I was an hour late for work because of transit this morning...
oh you should be its sooo pretty here and everyone is really nice. The library is a big old heritage building that has an amazing veiw of the mountains. Are you here for long??
@KoD #54, Papyrus FTW*
*yes it's sarcasm
Packed, lunch and leaving around 1:30. No one tell Dex.
(i think he knows)
Ok, all caught up. Congrats hungarianG!
Also, the ECMAs are going to rock New Brunswick! I want David Myles, Matt Andersen, Jenn Grant and Hey Rosetta to all win! I'm also very excited to see the live show of Q on Friday in Moncton and see Jenn Grant and Rose Cousins perform!
Thanks. Now there's another thing I won't be able to overlook when I'm watching movies.
will the nickname for Finn be Huckleberry?
Good luck Jenn Grant!
@alsace - thanks. We also really like it, and named him well before we ever found out that there is supposedly a character on Glee named Finn....that kinda bummed us out, but hopefully people will never try to make the association.
Awesome set Grant!
Congrats @HungarianG!
I'm going to be honest. I'm scared I'm going to have a Grant-esque flight home today.
WOO Freddy Beach! We like drinking in hallways....yes.
@zamm and anyone interested in typography:
Plenty of overused fonts on there, but it's a useful/interesting list regardless, especially from a historical perspective.
@Grant: did you get the shit smell out of your house?
@Doug. I hadn't thought of the Glee connection until you mentioned it. Hopefully people won't think you named him after a Glee character. It is still a really awesome name.
re: tracks on tracks
Is that $1100 only one way?
$1100 seems quite reasonable. You'd pay $700 just to fly Van to T.O. and that only includes Bits 'n Bites.
Can't wait to hear this song in October!
Oh good point KoM, you need to get home hah
@kirk one way, baby! Trip of a lifetime, babooshka!
@Kirk - Yes, $1100 one way. Then you have to get home.
For jokes, I paused momentarily on Comic Sans for the shirt.... Dear gods that was an awful 15 seconds.
or maybe that should be waaaaa, in honour of the the baby song.
Actually, Grant, I believe you can book an upper berth for $962.
@DougofAustin - Congrats, pop! Hope you've started saving for college!
my post #64 was really @doug the canuck
#79, Zamm, don't even joke about it! Why is Comic Sans even on your computer? Delete it immediately!
KoM? [76]
Kirk of Moom? That's a new one.
Of COURSE it's $1100 one way sillies. the train is espensive.
@mcfflyer re #81 thanks for pointing that out! Even better! See you on board!
So, let's break it down, $1100 and let's say $400 on the high side for the Ticket back to Van.
That's about $300 a day for three meals, exclusive access to shows, scenery that'll blow your mind and meeting new peeps.
Easy math says ---------> :)
Krik of Mood, maybe?
Anyway, I figured the 1100 was only one way, but no harm in asking.
If I don't win tickets (WHICH I WILL) I may get those tickets, then figure out how to fly back super cheap.
Grant! Two Hey Rosetta!s in a row! Yes! (Yes! Yes!)
gawsh KoD...
or, Kirk of Mayhem, whichever you prefer.
@Doug... congrats... enjoy!
As a service, here are the fares:
Ecomony (coach) $556.42
Upper Berth $962.64
Lower Berth $1,132.99
Rooms (per person) $1,451.42 (single room for one, bedroom for two. Rooms have their own toilet and wash basin, berths have a communal toilet room. A shower room is available for everyone in a sleeping car.)
@pinky...probably not Huckleberry, but we have been using Finnegan from time to time (Mr Dress Up reference)
I don't think I realized it was Tuesday until now.
Really hoping Ian Foster wins for Folk Recording OTY and Andrew O'Brien for Pop Recording, otherwise.. a Hey Rosetta sweep would make me pretty happy :)
Congrats on all the baby news! Mini R3ers! yay!
REBBEY! How was Yukon Blonde?
@ doug
Finnegan!!!!!! Too Cute!!
@Grant, how about Jijou Fantoche baby grows?
GRANT: How about playing Lola by The Stills next?
@zamm: Excellent shirt design (once you get the font issue resolved). The sunflower is fierce!
You guys are all really funny with the font jokes. "Die in a fire" is an appropriate response.
Tanks. If Benoit had been serious then 'Die in a fire' wouldn't have been a joke.
Out to lunch and off to a meeting... have a great afternoon @blog, and thanks again for the kind words! Congrats again to Doug, Finn and family!
Comic Sans, or actually the outrage it can summon, is the funniest thing.
"In the 2005 session of the youth model parliament in Ontario, the New Democratic Party included the clause "Ban the font known as Comic Sans" in an omnibus ban bill.[7]"
(From the wiki page)
Also congrats to Canuck Doug & HungarianG on babies both arrived and forthcoming! That's fantastic! Doug, don't worry about the Glee / Finn thing. Glee will be long forgotten before Finn even gets to school age. I accidently named my kid "Kate Rose" right after "The Titanic" and no one thinks I named my kid for that movie character. (which I didn't. I named her for her grandmothers. Who were not on the Titanic.)
Good morning blog,
Hope you all had a stellar long weekend. Sounds like a few people (@Doug & @Hungarian G) certainly did. Congrats to you both. Happy times.
As for me, I ate and drank myself into a coma in Portland(ia) over the weekend, and even had a tiny R3 meetup down there with @companypond from the blog. I also had the chance to experience a real-life STANDWAGON on Friday at the big UBC end of semester concert, which probably would have been more mind-blowing had I been as drunk as the student concert-goers.
YVR3: will I be seeing your fine faces at Wooden Sky and Joel Plaskett this week?
One more thing on Comic Sans:
As much as I dislike it, this monologue, I'm Comic Sans, Asshole, is the greatest.
@westcrunch did you hit up Deschutes?
http://bancomicsans.com/main/ (warning: you have to look at the font on this site)
Hello people! I start a new job today which is awesome but that means that I wont be able to be on the blog as much, not so awesome.
kirk: it's referenced on the wiki page!
@kirk, I love mcsweeneys so much. My all-time favourite is "10 passive-aggressive appetizers"
@chopz87 what's the gig?!
@Callan heck yes!
I'm heading straight from the airport to The Barr Brother tonight (then maybe over to the Biltmore for White Ash Falls, if I'm not too sleepy)
Wooden Sky AND Jeremy Fisher (same day), and mr Plaskett later this week!
Speaking of McSweeneys, have you read this mag? https://store.mcsweeneys.net/t/categories/lucky-peach A must for any foodie.
@iamRobSmith: Sure did. Lucky Lab, Deschutes, Bridgeport, HUB and Amnesia. (i think those are all the pubs I hit up)
@ Grant - Hi, Grant! I go back to a bar that I used to work before, I'm going to be doing all the stuff that needs to be done during the day, restocking, seting up etc etc
@westcrunch, awesome - what did you think?
at westcrunch -
I am going to be at St James Thursday for Jeremy Fisher, not sure if I'll head to the Biltmore after... but there is no way i am missing Joel Plaskett!
Futher reading on Comic Sans:

Hey all!
re: ECMA's - anything involving Hey Rosetta, Mark Bragg, Andrew James O'Brien, Jenn Grant or Long Distance Runners gets my vote! To be honest, I don't recognize a lot of the others!
LOVE KASPAROV, but mostly this breakdown towards the end.
hello grant! i heard a rumour that your show was east coast themed, i shall attempt to call in!
i've only briefly skimmed the nominees, but some thoughts:
i fancy paper lions for entertainer of the year, but then david myles puts on a damn good show. hm. i'm torn between classified and three sheet for rap/hip hop. carmen townsend for ALL THE AWARDS <3
@CMac @Kirk: Yaaaay! I love busy concert weeks. I'm on the fence about Barr Bros. tonight but I'm going to LOSE MY MIND at Joel Plaskett later this week. And am definitely not missing any part of The Wooden Sky, so I don't think I'll try to do both shows that night. Yeeeow.
@Rob: It was awesome. CRAZY busy when we were there because it was a Timbres game that night (people were actually sitting in the fireplace because there were no tables)
Bahamas has that baby song now too...
< Zammy, there's your summer shirt, right there.
What's up, R3 folks.
Finn, like the Orca, ...the Canucks mascot? :)
we have official baby songs, but do we have any official baby making songs?
Bahamas? Peter Elkas?
Anyone coming to ECMAs in Moncton?
Friday night come to Tide And Boar Pub
In-Flight Safety
Two Hours Traffic
North Lakes
Mountains And The Trees
@kirk. Hows about Al Tuck's "Slapping My Make On You" ? Such a skeazy song.
@ grant, purchased my ticket to b.c. ... coming from ontario to rock the tracks on tracks foolishness!!
I (me, Benoît) have the best concert week starting Wednesday with Said the Whale and Boxer the Horse; Thursday, Bahamas; Friday, Little Scream, Saturday, Yukon Voices and Library Blonde; Sunday, New Country Rehab; Monday, Eamon McGrath (playing his new album in order).
An underarm softball, huh…
Maybe I should call in and get it wrong right?
I quite like that except that it's black. Not good for a summer shirt (my opinion and others').
c'mon TB3 !!!!!!!
zammachus RACIST!
Off to work, later!
doug the canuck: My fragile ego can't take being hung up on by Grant any more…
<<< feedback please
See, I wish I had not won something last week, I know my ECMA's ... must resist calling in and winning ALL the prizes.
Woohoo Moe!
Go Moe, Go Moe
@garf. I love the simple design, but the font isn't really doing it for me. I like the style, but I don't like it that broken up and rough looking.
@alsace #141, OK I'll play around with it, thank you!
Summer Shirt
I'm actually tempted to drop the text from the shirt completely... I'm posting samples to flickr for you as well as a layout idea. I'll post a link in a few.
Way to go, mynameismoe!!!!
@Doug @HungarianG Congrats on the babies!
Grant Lawrence Can you ask mynameismoe is she needs an R3 touque?
congrats mynameismoe
and thanks McS - things are good.
Woo Moe! Congrats.
@tb3: bahaha for the comment [145] and bahaha for the profile picture.
@tb3. Is that your new design for the R3 summer t-shirt? I love it!
I demand public torso sizing!
ALSO tb3: you can't give away more toques until you send me mine!!!!!
I lol'd at your new pic. Well done, sir.
What is up with the R3 Summer shirt?? I should obviously stop actually doing work... I miss out on so much!
RE: the shirt, what about the current R3 shirt with some summer touches?
@tb3 You look really busy today...
re: fonts - I never put more than 1 second of thought into font selection until my first year of university when my TA (who was also dating my older brother) told me that she marks reports that use Times New Roman font lower because the font makes her angry. I thought that was pretty silly. Then I got to go through picking a font for wedding invitations, which was about 1200% more effort than I was interested in putting into font selection. Turns out my wife is a bit of a fontzi.
Sappyfest HAS to take best Venue/Festival
It's just a first draft. I'm getting feedback. Currently uploading newer versions.
JonDixon: I don't call myself Fontz for nuthin'
"...that she marks reports that use Times New Roman font lower because the font makes her angry. I thought that was pretty silly"; also completely unprofessional.
@iamrobsmith " what about the current R3 shirt with some summer touches?"
So just add some grass and beer stains?
@tb3 re #158 so THAT'S the new R3 summer shirt?
@ChrisJCurrie - YES!
Gah! I cant even attempt to call in,,,my cell phone redial is like multi tasking through a matrix of spiderwebs... khadflkshjd! lol. What am i gonna do about this tracks on tracks business... im gonna have to hire secretaries on demand to dial for me.... hmmph.
* for trivia that is :)
@ Benoit - yeah, you get what you pay for with TA's. When you don't pay them anything...well.
@tb3 - I just pictured a guy in grey zam is racist tshirt, unfastening a bra one handed from a hot water radiator. (One of the only Happy Days scenes that I can remember).
@Grant! What I saw was rocking, as per usual. I only stayed for 4 or 5 songs, wasn't really feeling being out... which turned into a dance party to 90s and 80s hits at a bar across the street... all in all a good night, but maybe Conor or Courtney (if she's around, which i doubt haha) can give ya a better account of the show :) They sold out the venue though.. and they were moved to a bigger one this go around and everything.
@cmac re 123 - are you talking about the mistake pregnancy song? hahaha (any other way i think it is.)
Aight! Leaving for the airport shortly. Gonna go hang out with my dog outside.
Might be back later, but I'll probably just go find beer and read my GOT book somewhere in the terminal.
SEE YOU SOON VANCOUVER. (you can follow my tweets here if you care to: @christinemcavoy - there are lots of dog photos right now)
Tata. Out cycling. Maybe getting a Secord Egg on sale. (Prospective yummmmmmmmmmm)
Off to a meeting, be back in a jiffy blog!
Dexter is going to come running through the airport at the last minute.
@astorrrmt WHOO HOO! Nice work, should be a blast! You're out of the Sault right?
woo cbc t-shirt! i still regret not getting one when i was in toronto for NxNE!! excellent.
@TB3, i already have an r.3 toque!
How dare NO ONE take the fitness book?!?
@tb3 how large IS your cache of R3 toques?!?
@CMac - Safe trip home!
@GRant, does the Book have you in your sweatband on the cover? sweatin it out to indy tunes? Thats the catch..... Market that sh*t!
Grant, you could just give me the book without having to call in and answer a question?
Paper Lions! Nice. Haven't heard this in a while.
Oh, good. Somebody saw Carver.
Grant Lawrence: Let's just say I can run the trivia prizes for 4 years afer the cuts go into effect…
Huzzah for Paper Lions!
Does everyone know about their IndieGoGo funding thing to help them raise money for their new album? They've got 12 days left and are a little over half-way to their goal. Help them out, maybe?
R3 Summer Shirt (Not the racist one)
Browse and give me your take. Font names are in the photo titles. I'm leaning towards going w/out the text entirely.
TB3: i got this.....4 yrs.... im ON IT.
Paper Lions? Heck, I have their album Colours when they were still the Chucky Danger Band!
@tb3 [#181] - is that the shirt you wear when you meet-up with @McfFlyer?
EricR: It pretty much would take away 95% of his show topics, wouldn't it?
@GRANT - great call on THE DANKS!
@tb3 [#181] - ...the answer, of course, would actually be, "Nobody 'cause Grant is on vacation!"
@tb3 #181, that sounds like the breakfast club recording at Coras, didn't it leave MikeV virtually alone on the blog
#189 EricR --> LIKE
@ Carver 49 re. #128 That show sounds good but I really want to see Radio Radio
Paper Lions used to be a pretty awful band, but they changed their name and got pretty good.
EricR Grant has had "vacation" redifned to "days of the week"
@GarfieldUK [#191] ... and Me. I was on the blog. And, at work.
@zammy. Personally, I'd prefer something more symmetric. I like having the text there, but I don't like having it on an angle. For the fonts, it should be sans-serif for sure.
EricR [189]: until CBC cuts his vacation and makes him record 8 hours a day.
garfielduk OMG I forgot about that!
#tb3 [#193] - well then, credit to him for managing to fool the CBC lawyers when signing his contract. I mean, I know we all make fun of him for it, but none of us managed to swing that deal with our employers.
I had some of Paper Lions' oysters (not a euphemism) before their show here last year. They were pretty good, and I'm still here so I guess at least somewhat hygienic?
Coffee canister empty this morning, I'm having the exact sort of crappy day that results from a start like that.
@zammacus - I like the one without any text or with the Lucinda font.
what about running the text in a line along the bottom so that it wraps around the lower part of the shirt...that said not sure about drawing attention to that part of my body.
Alsace & fictionjunkie
I was trying to align it to the CBC logo. I'll play w/ that.
Anyone else?
Holy crap that was a huge PEI love playlist
I'm legit going to get this one printed if I can get the support for it. I think I'll run a kickstarter-like campaign to fund it. All funds raised going into production costs.
oooooo play Tom Fun Orchestra!The bass player was my TA in first year english - had a HUGE crush on him. SWOON!
Yayyy! the train ride willl be funnn!! Goood for you!
@zammy. Esthecially, I just prefer symmetric designs, but it is a cool design. I like the flower idea and the colours are awesome.
Grant Lawrence Can I call in and offer a tuque to the winner?
I think I remember this exact question being asked last year on ECMA trivia.
It's not a summer t-shirt but can I put a seasonal R3 merch idea out there? I would love it if you had a non-winter scarf. I like a light cotton scarf, even in winter. And the wintery ones you guys have make me itchy and rash-covered. (it's not the material, it's my skin)
Everyone else: those shirts are great!
The answer:
f) April Wine
alsace lorraine #209: HOW DARE YOU! Grant doesn't recycle questions! He just uses them again.
Nudie and the Turks...? Any chance of hearing this east coast band...
Polly Darton +1
And I know Martin SuckaMC would +1 that too.
Has Boxer come to you yet?
Speaking of neck pleasure Grant, did your neck enjoy the redlight sunburn free weekend?
CBC Radio 1's afternoon show is broadcasting live on Friday afternoon from the Tide and Boar, I think. Great live music including Rose Cousins, and it's free admission!
@Dawnh - ouch...that burn hurt more than the neck rash I bet.
Could you please play Tom Fun Orchestra so KidCauley will talk to me about something else?
@ Grant, yes i am currently in my massage office all the way over in sault ste marie, ON. thanks for making the day that much more rocking. i'll be making the treck to toronto.. then kelowna and finallement to vancouver before jumpin on the train to head on back to these parts! so excited.. a month ago i was working towards clipping my wings to start my own clinic and due to some unforseen tax issues i am now available to do this trip. never thought id be greateful to the tax man...
yea yea yea yea yea!
More Shirt Updates
I'm really liking the vertical text.
Hey @musicsoop: heard you met my sister at JKS. Sounds like it was an awesome show!
@zammacus - vertical text is really nice, good job! (better than my suggestion)
@zamm #223 LOVE IT.
re 224, lucky soop!!
It's 15 degrees outside. I didn't have to wear a coat to work. WHY am I at work and not on a patio having a beer?!
@westcrunch: Yeah it was super fun! Great to meet your sister. She's tall.
what's going on with the summer shirt thing? New merch ideas for the under-funded mothercorp?
Zammachus: personal opinion.... that logo is huge. It'll cost a lot to get screen printed. And personally I wouldn't wear it with such a huge logo on it. also sunflower logo/green shirt reminds me of the Green Party. Not that I have a problem with that, just sayin. May I suggest... riffing on the current cbc tshirt, put the sunflower in the centre chest, use a colour other than black to get the logo to 'pop'?
Also: huzzah for new baby R3 peeps.
Congrats Thunder baytian!
Is this Thunder Baytian?
Grant - Joel Plaskett doesn't even break the top 10 for total ECMA wins!
Wooop Wooop!
Excellent Great Big Sea song you can play - Long Life - off their new album and co-written with Joel Plaskett.
@Thunder Baytian: Nice job!
Thunder Baytian: YAY!
And epic road trip!
Why Cant you play great big sea on Cbc? :(
@Carver - We expected them next week w/Whales & Chains, but I got a message that said NO. Any update?
I missed Grant's burn story, alas. At least I assume that's why people are talking about a burnt neck.
tb3: which road trip? like the alaska highway? Or just haveing to get anywhere in general.... lol
@dawnh I have no idea why anyone is talking about my burned neck - I have no such thing! Now about your scarf rash... SHUSH!
I like the R3 sunflower, all by itself, without the SummeR3 text. Down the left side (or right side, I guess, depending on your perspective)
also, if you keep the text, consider making the I's more phallic looking.
If you drop text, you could do one of those picture word puzzle kind of pictures: (shirt)+(rooster)
Thunder Baytian: Yes.
Off topic:
New Jets Overhead is pretty awesome.
@rebbey: good to see you on Saturday, as brief as it was! Dean and I are here in the office dreading our lives as well. The forecast to come does not look promising for SJ... porch beers tonight for sure.
@Grant, re: top 5 must see, YB in SJ... As always, YB killed it. Really enjoy the tunes from the new album, although I think I heard most of them at previous shows anyway. This was their 3rd visit (5th show) in St John's in the past year. As rebbey said, it was great to see them get the bump to the bigger stage (~300 capacity at the Rockhouse, rather than the 100 or so Ship). Next show: RICH AUCOIN!
#242 Hi-O?
that comic sans rant was seriously funny.
Alaska Highway? Yeah I am sure it is, I might go for it maybe in the fall if i can get the time.... Its a looooooooooonnnnng haul. Im thinking on my motorbike.... but then if one of those giant mosquitoes hit me ... i might die.
dawn.h: The only sun burn Grant gets is when he plays hockey… from the red light.
Speaking of IndieGoGo funraising campaigns, there's one for Tracks on Tracks.
Donate enough money and you could get LUNCH WITH GRANT LAWRENCE!
@Thunder Baytian re Great Big Sea
For whatever reason they weren't deemed "indie" enough for Radio 3. Radio 1 and 2 only!
@kirkofdoom re #251 that better not be sarcasm I detect?!
@zamm: I would vote for either no text, or the vertical text. I also support the idea of smaller logo in center of chest. Colours you have are great, or I would also accept a white shirt. Thanks so much for taking on this project on our behalfs!
@Grant, ahhhh okay well fair enough, as long as it wasnt something like... Great Big Sea "we dont wanna be on CBC3 because theres too much shirtcocking" or some derivative.
But having lunch with Grant Lawrence means he forgets his wallet and sticks you with the tab. Been there, done that.
@Thunder Baytian no amazingly it had nothing to do with shirtcocking.
Rebeckah Higgs: Random story, my sister-in-law Beth lives with Rebeckah Higg's parents in Halifax. They rent out their heritage home in downtown Halifax to university students.
@mcflyer re #256 how dare you? I'll buy you dinner on the train!
Grant, do you deny that the event happened?
@Zam - apologies but I don't like the designs at all. It just looks a bit hippy-ish to me, but that's just me. I prefer something much cleaner looking.
Again, just me and wanted to be honest.
So (not so) new site question: Today I can't seem to get it to, you know, play music and all. I'm not sure how the mechanism is usually supposed to work, but normally I show up and press some combination of right-pointing arrows presmuably designating play until music happens. This normally works, although some days it doesn't. (Although it's not that it stopped working one day--it mostly works except random days when it doesn't.) Anyone else have these problems? Is it just that I need to update Flash or something? Or is there some right-pointing arrow I haven't found?
Gramercy Riffs = Warriors (come out and play).
I'm still a leftist re: the sunflower t-shirt. If you really want text, I'd suggest maybe dropping the year, so it's just summeR3
Another tweak.
Thanks. I understand. You can't please everyone, right?
Grammercy Riffs: Scott Pilgrim?
The colour of the shirt is NOT set in stone. It will depend entirely on what is available.
I have the R3 site bookmarked, and I never succeed in getting it to work the first click.
here's the series of clicks that works for me:
click boomark to get to the R3 "home" page.
click the Radio3 tab at the top of the page
click the play button on the right side for R3. then the music starts
click the picture for the blog of the current show (if it's actually showing at the top)
pray you don't ever click the "back" button on the browser or you get to do that all over again
Sloan isn't in the ECMA top 10, wonder if Chris Murphy is as grumpy about that as he is about the Junos?
lounge_act, if it's Grant's favourite movie, it's obviously Pirate Radio!
Joel and the ECMA's
I saw the top ten on wiki, but then I went to Joel's page and that lists many ECMA wins and nominations... definitely enough to crack the top ten. So I don't know who to believe now...
Hey Elephant McGee [262] I find that the play button on the actual blog page doesn't work. But the play button on the R3 home page does. Yeah, kind of like what krib just said.
Tom Fun - Watchmaker!
The Gramercy Riffs were a gang in Grant's favourite movie Beat Street II er… Warriors.
Answer: The Shaggy Pony.
@krib Grammercy Riffs: Roadhouse?
wait so Joel Plaskett ISN'T the answer to all the questions?
@KidCauley, yaaaaay :) nice "crush" lol :)
so happy!!!
...i love that the blog owns this station ! :D
Thanks, krib and fresh ginger. Still not working, though. Normally when I click the arrow to the right, next to CBC Radio 3, the track information appears on the thing just below the tabs, and I usually click the arrow there too. (I'm not sure it's necessary, just compulsive behaviour.) But today the track information won't appear there after clicking the one on the right. And no music is coming out.
@tb3 #275, which one?
squeeky wheel gets the grease!
I really hope the bass player/kidcauley's ex TA is listening!
I still think less is more with that summeR3 shirt.
just the sunflower is fine, offset.
I would be mortified
It could end up that way. The support for text/no text has been 50/50. I'm trying to nail down details.
@kidcauley what is this about an EX/bassplayer??
my ex-TA! you met him at the ECMA's back when you were at St. FX!
@kidcauley right, from the Tom Fun Orchestra. he tried to sell me a pair of Tom Fun Orchestra underwear!
zammachus I only like the design without any text. Also, it won't look dated 5 years from now! Like the colours.
OOh... the one with the black logo is better, just drop the text!
@Conor - PATIO BEERS!! I'm off at 7 (as of right now)! If it's still nice we should all go to the sundance for one! Best patio ever! :) and Dean? Did I meet Dean at STW?
Grant - Have you heard the samples from some Gramercy Rffs members' new band Wunderstrands? (http://wunderstrands.bandcamp.com/album/lines)
@rebbey, at a glance I thought the band name was "Wunderpants".
@rebbey - haha "if it's still nice" typical St. John's... Hell yeah I'm down for beers! And yes, Dean is the blonde surfer dude from Mount Pearl.
Have a beautiful lunch beautiful CBC'ers :) And a great day wherever you are! till tomorro..
Different Text
@jd it woulnd't be far off from some band names, there is a german punk band called Toten Hosen (death pants)
@jdurley - hahaha awesome.
@conor - ohhh right! okay. i was gonna ask if he was the mpsh grad haha MP REPRESEEEENNNNNTTTT!) And you can never be too sure in this city. I heard it was gorgeous out yesterday from facebook. by the time I got out of bed it was raining.*
*may have been 28 hours after getting in bed and many many hours after reading about how nice it was out....
It seems I'm unable to listen to anything, even after rebooting my computer. Perhaps I should wreak my revenge on the CBC by going and listening to something that is specifically not Canadian, thus opening my psyche up to gradual cultural erosion and ultimately a resulting loss of my national identity which I will inevitably pass on to other nominal Canadians, contributing to a larger-scale loss of cultural identity. Take that, inherent good for the nation of cultural identity and artistic support. That'll show someone. Any appropriate listening suggestions?
@zammachus fonts man, fonts!
@Elephant McGee I'm very sorry to hear you're having listening problems today!
I'm lurking today (very busy at work) but I just have to say, again, how damn good this Wintersleep tune is. One of my all time favorite CanCon tunes.
@rebbey @conor did you two finally meet???????
@Grant #303, http://www.1001freefonts.com
"Wunderpants" as in, "I wonder if Grant's wearing pants, or if I'll get shirt-cocked AGAIN."
@chopz87 hopefully you can blast R3 in the bar??
@Grant - YES! haha me Conor and Courtney (cbarn from the blog... she isn't around much anymore though) had a yytr3 meet up at Nick Ryan's cd release... and we've seen each other at both STW shows, and the YB show. there's a picture of the 3 of somewhere..
this song is a gift from the great white north
@Grant: the apology makes it all better, and I again wish to support Canadian culture identity. Perhaps I will blame the problem on Flash.
@grant - my deepest thanks for spinning this Wintersleep. Perfection indeed.
@Zammachus. personally, I am not italics. Ever.
@Elephant McGee... I have been streaming through itunes today, because the R3 stream is quite choppy. Also, there are other links to other ways of listening. I have one bookmarked at work, it comes through Sirius somehow. Maybe someone else has the link for you. I can post for you tomorrow if you can hang in there till then... not in the office today.
@zammachus Personally, I feel like the script/handwritten font mixed with the flower gives off a feminine feel. That might just be me though.
Okay. Changing the font again. I think I'm getting close to the final product.
I got lost for a bit. I'm just getting used to this new website.
i think the new new R3 summer t-shirt shouldn't be a t-shirt at all. i vote for a sweet tank. maybe with red and white horizontal stripes and a small breast pocket with the CBC logo printed overtop.
@fresh ginger: Thanks!
#307, Garfield, stay away from (most) free fonts!
1)I just found you in my spam amongst the penis pumps, I'll get back to you tonight
2)Nice shirt. the one thing that i keep looking at (and I can recognize it's just be being a wench) is that your phyllotaxis on the sunflower is off. (you don't actually have to change it, I just needed to get that out of my system)
oh and Rich Aucoin totally deserves and ECMA.
@zamm, just my opinion, but no font will improve the design... it only works without text.
@MrFussyfont #320, I can't afford to use anything else
No worries on the delay. I'm leaning mainly towards journalism now.
As for the phyllotaxis (I had to look that one up), I know it's wrong. A sacrifice I made for the design.
Campaign to get Grant an all-talk show on Radio1. Who's in?
tb3: I think Grant is asking you to call him? He must miss you.
Just back from a lunch date. Hello again to all on the blog.
#44 @maatt I look forward to watching that video of Imaginary Cities and Chic Gamine. Imaginary Cities will be playing in New York later tonight. I hope we get some Chic Gamine in the R3 system real soon!
@tea phyllotaxis?
I live on the non-east coast. if I'm allowed to have an opinion regardless, I agree you with you Grant... Jenn Grant deserves awards.
David Myles puts on a GREAT live show... I strongly suggest seeing him in concert, especially if you are on the fence about his music. There's a lot more to him than what you hear on his albums, especially on this tour with Kyle Cunjak and Alan Jeffries. Check out "Live at the Carleton" to see what I mean.
@PhilipST Yes! I can't wait for the day when Chic Gamine is in the 'system' here at R3. I hope that day will come soon.
david myles is one fantastic fella.
@jdurley [326]: that would last for 2, maybe 3 shows before Grant pissed off the wrong people. I don't think he can say half the stuff he does down here on REAL radio.
@GrantLawrence is right, David Myles is by far the nicest Canadian musician i've ever met. he took me to a song-writers circle, wore the t-shirt of the radio station i was working for, and completely obliged to my super-amature interview (i was 23 at the time).
@HungarianG 'live at the carleton' is one of my favourite 2011 albums! i love the between song banter as much as the songs themselves! anyone who doesn't own that album needs to just GO BUY IT NOW. just go. you don't even need to preview it.
Something from a past life (before maps), when I was dissecting plant growing tips under a microscope with pins.
The patterns leaves grow in around a stem
@soop: Also, the Radio1 folks would probably take umbrage at the repeated shirt-cocking.
Queen's U represent! Go Liam! Wow, go St. John's as well!
I'm sure he's "studying" real hard!
@tea #337, oh I see, thanks for that
"Through and through and through" was my gateway song into Joel Plaskett.
Okay. Font and text seems to be the sticking point so I'll just put it out there now for a final poll.
Do you prefer the t-shirt with text or without?
If you prefer text post [WITH] in a comment.
If you prefer just the flower post [WITHOUT] in a comment.
My argument for keeping the text is I feel it balances the design. If the text stays, it will be 'CBC Radio3' to make it good beyond 2012 but the font will change.
@Grant Through and through and WHOO?
Anna Egge (sp?) and Rose Cousins doing the other vocals on this song - HELLO.
@mynameismoe... have you seen him live?
I really, REALLY, really hope that Joel & Rose Cousins & Ana Egge team up for another album somewhere down the road. I don't know, what would they call it... "Four"?
@Garfield, some better free fonts here: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/
@FlannelT: Ana
JPE is playing Bronson Centre in Ottawa in just two weeks! Can't wait!
I'm not going to bother educating myself on the nominations for the ECMA's or with reading the previous posts here but for hip hop artist of the year, it HAS to be Ghettosocks. Classified will do but goddamn I love Ghettosocks.
Also, I have been listening to nothing but rap for like, 3 days and this is my forst time back on R3 listening to non rap sp these guitar things sound weird at the moment.
#344 zammachus [WITHOUT]
I've got some fonts from here as well.
@zamm: I know this doesn't help, but honestly I like the shirt either with or without the text. To make it more "official" as an R3 shirt, it would be good to have "R3" on there somehow, though. Would it work at all to put a little R3 right in the center of the cbc logo?
@MrFF #349, thank you
@ ohcanada-- sorry your sabres didnt make the playoffs. NOT.
@HungarianG i have! caught him in moncton for grant's book release. possibly previously, too. i really should try to keep track of these things. #toomanyshows
I was just thinking. We haven't heard him lately, Grant. What's Dave Shummy Shumka up to? He still at Radio3?
Just wondering - he used to be on Radio3 so much, he seemed like a regular host.
@flannel tom: Ghettosocks rocks.
Best Part of Moncton - MAGIC MOUNTAIN
@erineV They were so close! at least I don't need to worry about growing a playoff beard! You still going to STW tomorrow?
*SMASH CUT TO* ---- I'm at the airport now.
Although looking at their homepage now... I don't like any of their featured fonts. :p
I think the R3 would clutter the design too much. Glad you'd be happy with or without, though.
@musicsoop - Ghettosocks rocks is darn tootin'. Have you gave TEENBURGER a listen yet? Type it into the old search box up at the top of the page. It's amazing. It's Ghettosocks and Timbuktu as far as I can tell. Amazing.
@Christine McAvoy: Fort Erie International Airport?
Haven't heard this JP song before. Like.
[without] text... but like jdurley's idea of having R3 in there somewhere. Maybe in the centre of the exploding pizza.
@Soop is that even a thing? No, Pearson. But I usually fly in and out of the Hamilton airport.
It's cool, you get to walk right off the plane, like in the **MOVIES**
@lannel tom TEENBURGER was one of the first shows the gang saw at SXSW. Them and More or Les were the whole reason I started my Austin adventure a day earlier than usual so I could catch that show. It was so much fun!
this is one of my FAVOURITE Joel songs. the accoustic CBC session is pretty awesome too
I feel a disturbance in the force from Winnipeg.
@briancauley - I think this is one of everyone's favorite JP songs!
@Mr. FF - I don't believe you. Really, this is your first time hearing Fashionable People? This song when it came out almost completely turned me off the Plisky Plask but then over time I grew to like it and now the album it's off, Ashtray Rock, is like, the best Plaskett album hands down by far. Except for maybe like, Down at the Khyber.
@Christine McAvoy: Like on the stairs? Outside?
Also I'm at the bahr!!!
Fionn MacCool's having a Creemore (flight is at 4:45, gate is right beside the bar)....this could get interesting.
Well since it's baby announcement day I'm pleased to say that our little family is growing by one in September, and more pleased that it's not coming from me.
For years we were 3, then 5, and soon 6. Pretty hard to wrap your head around it, actually.
FlannelTom [364]: Bit cold for Magic Mountain this weekend methinks.
@Soop 370 - AWEOME. That's what I like to hear. Takin' one for the team and getting your hands dirty.
@TheRadioHead. Congrats to you to. That's great news.
woops 'too'
Congrats Oma?
*Aweome = Awesome.
It's just the fancy new way to spell it.
@TheRadioHead Congrats! There seems to be a baby boom on the blog
#374, flannel tom, well I'm ashamed to admit I've been "away" from Cdn indie music until relatively recently... hard to explain. Thanks for the tip on the album, maybe it'll be my first JP purchase.
@Lee I don't listen when JP is on.
I was in Music Trader last week when they put Crappy Happiness on, and the staff (aka Boats) were stunned when I reared up and begged them to turn it off until I left. One of them said to me "lots of people like him", and I responded that popular doesn't mean good. He said "can't argue that". Hahaha!
Lunch. Adios. Safe travels CMac. Congrats TRH. Love the new hair color Moe. Put your pants on Grant.
@laurenelizabeth - Anytime is a good time for the kamikaze! Some people got to go to Europe and whatever on their fancy school trips.... we went to Magic Mountain and Magnetic Hill. How foreign! New Brunswick!
All This JP talk is causing me to listen to Ashtray Rock for the first time in a while... it was a good decision.
Flannel Tom: I understand. My school trips were to Magic Mountain, Crystal Palace or Parlee Beach. We didn't even leave the province!
@Mr. FF 385 - no worries sir, I think I may have been overloaded with that song in Halifax when it came out because that stupid rock station there, The Q, they started playing it 38 times a day and it was the only Plaskett song they ever played... But yes. Buy Ashtray Rock and then turn it up to about 12 on your stereo and play air guitar like there ain't no tomorrow!
Thanks all! Yes Oma.
@Cmac/Soop - you get to do that at the SJ airport depending on what airline/where you're flying to. I always feel like a superstar when it happens. unless it's raining. then i'm just annoyed. haha
@TheRadioHead - yay for new babies! ps. I love hearing your Joel Plaskett bashing. I really don't understand your dislike, but I think that's what I like about it!
Okay. I think people are burning out on this so I'm going to put this up for the last one today.
What do you think of this?
Re: TRH: Of course, "good", like "beauty", is in the eye, or this case, the ear of the beholder. :)
at c-mac
the canadian hip hop version of NKOTB's Step By Step.
Step one: We can have lots of fun...
@musicsoop [re:387] thanks! :) pink is a new one for me. possibly the only colour i haven't been.
@Tom - I think I want to witness this air guitar action!
RE 396 I like it a lot!
RE: T-Shirt, Zam, what about something like this?
@Zamm - i would wear that!
@iamRobSmith That's really cute!
Urgh. Just got the afternoon drowsys.
Zamm. I really dont like that font either.
Do you even need text? I kinda just like the cbc logo where the seeds should be.
or maybe just put R3 small at the base of the flower/make it look like grass?
@Carly - No, it will melt your face. Too much air shredding for any one person.
@iamrobsmith [403] I'd wear that too! That should be made into stickers too!
Playoffs FTW!
@i am rob smith. I think that is my favourite tshirt design so far
Go Kings!
@Zammy I agree with Christine [407]
I like that, too.
I'm thinking I may just print a version with and without text...
My inside Moncton source has said that Tide and Bore place is really good. I'm assuming it's spelled Bore, as in Tidal Bore.
Or is that Tidal Boar? Boor? I don't know.
@zamm i like it! the text doesn't bother me, whether it's there or not won't make or break the deal. although, maybe smaller text if it stays.
Another wicked awesome show - starving, sammich time!
@flannel tom - google maps says tide and boar!
@flannel tom I think it's tidal Boar... some kjind of pig apparently
@iamrobsmith I like that design!
more rock less scream would be nice
See ya tomorrow friends!
Gonna go continue to drink and read some Game Of Thrones!
Airport partay!
@iamRobSmith - I am a fan of your design. It might be my favorite.
Whoa - speaking of Thrones - we didn't hit the Iron Throne today!! (comment #500)
@iamRobSmith, love it, wish I had thought of it
@pj agreed. I never understood the screaming music. If I'm mad at my parents, I will scream the lyrics. But that is just me.
Bye everyone, hope your days are great, must eat lunch!
@blog and especially Zam - it's a thought and perhaps we could go two directions. I don't want to stamp all over your work, just something for different tastes.
@iamRobSmith I love the design but at first i thought the stem was blood dripping from the cbc logo.
OMG, for a second I thought Lisa's show was starting already! lol
omg this song sucks
no reason there can't be multiple R3 shirts. both look great!
@McS after I uploaded it I thought the same. It's rough and needs some love, don't look too close;)
this isn't confusing at all....lisa's show intro song playing before her show?!
@iamrob: I like your design, too, but I also thought the logo was bleeding.
PJ positive mental attitude man.
or else I'll say more rock, less PJ...
What was that DCMF announcement you made in the Top 5 News Stories? Missed it....
@jdurley & CMac, I thought it was just me
@CMac, Safe travels
The logo could be a summer colour, like purple or blue or green or...
Grant is either messing with our heads, or totally oblivious that that's Lisa's lead-in song.
iamRobSmith: Cool! I like it—but to add to this bikeshed discussion, I would consider Futura for the text and either make the dandelion seeds red (because they're not really obviously tied to what I now see is a dandelion logo, and they just looked like "worn vintage" look) or go simple and lose them altogether.
bikeshed discussion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_Law_of_Triviality
I would suggest just making the R3 Summer shirt a plain white T.
(plain white t-shirts don't always work so well with us who require other garments under said shirts...)
@437 nah, I'll stick to my guns, I didn't like those songs, just wondering if anyone else agreed.
No worries. Is your design vector or raster?
I'm not sure what costs would be involved in doing both. I'm seriously considering getting a starter set-up and doing the printing myself. It's not like I don't have the free time...
@Moe #444, do you mean a vest?
@Zam, it's hacked up jpg right now but could be whatever you needed as the final product.
We didn't even hit the Iron Throne today. Grant needs to step up his game!
silk screen printing is the way to go bro
@PJ- I agree, stick to your guns. I like that Cancer Bats tune but I'm all for the airing of the grievances.
@McS Grants on the game!?
Switching to Lisa's blog.
@Garf Haha! that would be something to see!

What was it about Seagull/Godin guitar(s) that first spoke to you and convinced you to make the move?
For me, it was the way the profile of the neck and the 1.8 inch nut width felt. For the first time, I felt like I was holding a guitar that was built with me in mind.
How about you?
Views: 9262
Been looking for a decent steel string for a few months - tried a number of new and used A&L and S&Ps in the course of that, and was impressed with the value for the prices. Did some Googleing, found out about Godin, and Seagull. Subsequently played a couple of new Seagulls, one of which I really liked; went back a few days later to get it, and it had been sold. On impulse, popped a "Wanted: Seagull S6" ad on the local Kijiji - and four hours later, headed home with a real nice older S6 and a case for about 40% of the price of the new one. Absolutely the equal of the one that got away, save for some pick marks and dings on the top, which doesn't bother me one iota..
That's the how - the whys - well, the sound, of course, the wider nut (love that!), it's great playability - and, of course, the fact that it was made in La Belle Province of Quebec.
Only other one I played that really tempted me was a small, solid mahogany Guild - not a lot of volume but a wonderful warm tone, cost 3x as much (new) as the used Seagull I've got. The label said Guild, Handcrafted in China....
I played in a group featuring two guitars, me with a Guild and a friend of mine playing an S6 (back in the 90s, when they were around $300 or so). His S6 drowned my Guild-for which I paid three times the price for about half the projection.
A few years a ago, I took a job selling guitars at a local shop and sold more Seagull than I can quantify, and for obvious reasons. Concerning craftsmanship/QC, materials, appearance, and tone for under $1k there is next to nothing to compete with them. After two years selling them, and a revived interest in playing acoustically, Seagull released the Performer Mini Jumbo and I had to have it. After buying mine, I sold maybe 1-3 of them per month. Haven't looked back since.
I am a 48 year old guitar newbie. My Son plays drums and some guitar. I have an Uncle and Cousin that play. I always loved music and the relaxing qualities of an acoustic. So I decided I am going to give it a try. Well, like any of the other hobbies I have enjoyed in my life, shooting sports, golf, ham radio, fishing. Some come and go and some are here to stay. I don't just dabble, I go full bore. I research the heck out of equipment. I read many reviews and picked up many guitars in the local shops and I kept coming back to the Seagull. So I decided that was the one for me and the search began. I also am a bargain hunter so craigslist became my focus. I was watching one for a few weeks and decided I am driving to Ponce inlet to see this guitar and well needless to say its mine, a beautiful Seagull Coastline Cedar GT. I love it...I will say however self teaching is kind of rough. Youtube has been a big help, but it seems to only go so far. I am looking into lessons but I am not sure were to start. Anyway having a good time relaxing with the Seagull and the Tele and Strat.....I did mention full bore. he who dies with most toys wins!
A couple of sites you might want to try. Really helped me.
Yes I have been using Marty's great videos. I will take a look at the other one as well. Thanks
Justin is by far the best that I have found if you are just starting.
Marty is also great.
I know one on one lesson's are for some people, but with be not being able to work I have but one option.
Good luck,enjoy and have fun.
I also am just learning and am using both Marty's videos and justinguitar.com. I've purchases justin's book for beginners and his song book plus the theory of music. Have an old Yamaha F310 that is hard to play so just bought a new Seagull S6 cedar top. Haven't gotten it yet but it has shipped so hopefully in a couple days. Can't wait.
Nothing is more discouraging than trying to play a poor acoustic guitar. Get ready for a major epiphany when your S-6 arrives! Your ability and your enthusiasm for playing will multiply immediately and continue to grow.
Indeed it will! Check this out, Jud - http://www.acousticguitarcommunity.com/group/SeagullAficionados/for... - more info on Tony's purchase...
We had a great discussion over in the beginners area about taking lessons. You might pop over there and check out the advice that was given. An instructor that will help you learn what you want to learn is the best thing you can do for your abilities. You might have to go through a few teachers to find the one that is just right for you but it is worth it. Also taking your guitar to a luthier for a proper check up or setup will make playing your instrument easier, which contributes to longer and better practice sessions.
Yes, I have tried two luthiers here in Melbourne. They worked wonders on the Fenders. My Seagull was already set up from the previous owners luthier and seems pretty sweet. It did make practice much more enjoyable....
Some people have all the luck ! What kind of strings seem to sound good to you?

I bought this product as a phytoestrogen for endometriosis. In the time I have been taking it, along with Black Cohosh and Damiana, my monthly pain has disappeared. However, I do wonder if it is just coincidence and the other products are the most effective ones - further research indicates that Wild Yam only provides precursor molecules to estrogen, which doesn't mean it is converted to estrogen, and even if it was, the estrogen 'overload' (rather than weak phytoestroges which 'block' estrogen receptors)is more likely to make endometriosis worse.
Was this review helpful to you?

A McDonald's swastika, etched on the inside bun of a North Carolina woman's chicken sandwich, has resulted in the firing of the tactless employee who made the Nazi symbol out of butter. Adopted as the symbol of the Nazi Party in the 1920s, the swastika now symbolizes ethnic intolerance, hate and cruelty. One does not often find it within the innards of disassembled fast food fare however.
Writes the Huffington Post on Aug. 11: "Charleigh Matice lost her appetite when she found a swastika made from butter on the bun of a chicken sandwich at McDonald's. Matice says she discovered the unappetizing symbol while putting mayo on a sandwich purchased at a McDonald's in Morehead City, North Carolina."
Matice, whose grandfather fought in World War II, commented: "Is this a joke? Does somebody really think they're funny? Many people died because of that symbol and it's not something that should be taken lightly. It's not something that should be thrown around."
From the mid-twentieth century onwards, the swastika symbol has been banned in Germany. Modern Neo Nazi and white supremacist groups continue to stylize their ideologies and have embraced the swastika as a symbol of purity and power.
To Matice, seeing the symbol just made her sick.
A manager at the restaurant offered to replace the bun, but Matice said she had lost her appetite. "I really didn't have an appetite at that point so I said I rather have my money back," she recalled saying.
But she didn't stop there. Matice contacted McD's corporate headquarters about her distasteful experience. In response, she received a letter from the franchisee owner of the Morehead City McDonald's, Dulcy Purcell, stating that they determined who put the swastika on the bun and fired them on the spot.
"We do not tolerate that kind of behavior at McDonald's, and it's not what we stand for personally as owners," Purcell wrote. "It is about providing the best level of service and care to our customers, and anything less than that is unacceptable to us."

Tom Carnegie · 1987
For more than 30 years, Tom Carnegie has had one of WRTV's most recognizable faces, and for longer yet, the most recognizable voice in sports. As sports director since March of 1953, Carnegie has earned his reputation as one of the most respected sportscasters in the area.
A native of Norwich, Connecticut, Carnegie began his broadcasting career in 1942 at WOWO-Radio in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. He continued through an interrupted span of 30 years of radio and TV coverage of Big Ten and Notre Dame football games, was chief announcer of the Indy 500 classic, the 500 Mile Race at Pocono, Pennsylvania and was the chief announcer of Indiana State basketball tournaments.
Tom has produced two major film documentaries on racing and founded the Indianapolis 500 Oldtimers Club.
For his work on behalf of basketball he was chosen as the first recipient of the Coaches Medal Award in 1974. The Indiana Coaches Association honored him in 1971 for his contribution to basketball; the annual award given to worthy high school athletes is known as the "Tom Carnegie" award.
In 1975, Tom was selected by the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame to receive the Eckrich Silver Medallion. The award is presented annually to an individual for long-time contribution to basketball. The winner receives a prominent place in the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.
Carnegie founded the Butler University radio station, WAJC-FM.
Among other honors, in 1973, Tom received the Indianapolis Variety Club's "Celebrity Award," has been a several-time winner of the "Best Sports Story of the Year" award presented by the Indianapolis Press Club and was named "Man of the Year" by the Antelope Club in 1975.
An active member of the community, he and his wife reside in Zionsville and have three children.

A Forrest of Core Fitness
Julie's Health Club shares the secrets of Forrest Yoga for core fitness. Check it out:
The following move—elbow to knee—is a foundation of the practice:
- Lie on your back and clasp your hands behind your head. Bend your legs, lift your feet and position your knees over your hips. Your feet should be off the floor and slightly lower then the knees.
- Inhale as you lift your shoulder blades off the floor.
- Holding your breath, press your low/mid back into the floor and lift your tailbone.
- Exhaling, reach both elbows toward your left thigh and straighten the right leg. (Both shoulder blades and the low back stay off the floor. The tailbone stays up.) Pull your belly in at the end of the exhale.
- Inhaling, move the torso back to center and the knees back together. Your head and shoulder blades stay up. Hold your breath.
- Repeat the movement on the other side, making sure your low/mid back is still pressed into the floor and your tailbone is still up. Do between five and eight repetitions, emphasizing good form.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- A business-backed national study gives Florida's public colleges and universities high marks for student access and success as well as efficiency.
The chairman of the board that oversees Florida's 12 state universities said Wednesday it was evidence the state's accountability framework is working.
Tuesday's report was released by the Institute for a Competitive Workforce, an arm of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Chairman Dean Colson noted Florida was the only state that received an A in student access and success for both four- and two-year schools.
Florida's universities also had the lowest cost per completion at $46,071 per student while its 2-year colleges ranked third at $38,146.
The state, though, received C grades for meeting labor market demand and transparency and accountability. Florida was also graded a D in innovation.

Father sentenced for child abuse
OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - An Ottawa County man was in court Monday to receive his sentence for critically injuring his infant son.
Last month a jury found Justin McIntyre guilty of second-degree child abuse.
Police say McIntyre violently shook his six-week-old son Bentley back in August, causing critical head injuries.
Bentley spent several weeks in the hospital before going home to continue his recovery.
Monday McIntyre received 19 months to 120 months in prison, with credit for 157 days served. Restitution will be determined at a later date.

There was an editorial from BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) CEO Laurence Fink in the Wall Street Journal this morning about restoring investor confidence. And while you may think that Fink would be banging the typical investment bank drums of loose regulations and easy money, that wasn't the case.
Rather, the chairman and CEO of Blackrock – an institution with over $3.5 trillion under management – was actually chiding the mutual fund industry for its stubborn position on money-market fund reform. He writes the following:
The stiff opposition of the mutual-fund industry to efforts by the Securities and Exchange Commission to reform the regulation of U.S.money-market funds does not instill the sort of trust we need. Financial firms have a responsibility to be crystal clear about how their interests are aligned with those of their clients, and should be transparent about the fees and risks associated with the products they sell—from investment vehicles such as mutual funds to credit cards and mortgages.
Financial education and transparent investment products that are easy to understand and apply can allow investors to capture market opportunities and achieve the returns they need to achieve their objectives even in a complex and challenging new world. This too will help restore trust in the markets, and help those who doubt in the future today take their first steps back to being investors again.
I was thrilled to see this, because it proves that even the well-heeled investment banks with high net-worth clients understand that healthy capital markets are build on well-informed financial consumers. As Fink points out, this doesn't just include demystifying kinky derivative investments for big-time traders – this includes making housing loans and credit cards and 401k investments accessible and understandable.
We all win when investors know what they are buying. The idea of "efficient markets" hasn't been in favor thanks to the financial crisis, but even if you disagree with the notion that markets will correctly value information over time it is impossible to deny that incomplete or misleading information will only result in chaos.
And given that we need confidence and stability above all else, Wall Street needs to start erring on the side of more information.
Even the bigwigs at Blackrock seem to think so these days.

Careers and education consultancy Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) has released its annual ranking of the world's best cities for students. Paris came top, London was second, and the rest of the top five were Singapore, Sydney, and Zurich. You can see the full list of 50 here.
The company bases its list on five factors, including the global rankings of universities in those cities, the student mix, the quality of living, employer activity, and affordability. It only included cities with a population of over 250,000, and which were home to two or more institutions in the QS World University rankings.
The country with the most cities in the top 50 was the US with seven cities, followed by Australia (six), Canada (three), and the UK (three). This backs up research from education organization the British Council last month, which reported that the US, UK, and Australia continue to be the three leading host countries when it comes to attracting international students. This finding came out in its report "The Future of the World's Mobile Students in 2024."
Ranking cities by how appealing they are to students may look like just another obscure way to rank cities, but it is more important than that. Cities that attract students to study are also in a strong position to encourage them to stay. This can bring in skilled workers to support existing businesses, start new firms, and bring technological innovation.
For example, a study by the UK's University of Sheffield in March showed that there was a net benefit to the city of £120 million a year because of international students.
The potential to attract overseas students is expected to grow. The British Council report I referred to earlier forecasts that the number of students studying overseas would grow from around 3 million now to 3.9 million by 2024. China and India are forecast to remain the major source of outbound students in 2024, with 855,000 and 376,000 respectively.
Others expect even more students to move overseas. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has predicted it could reach 7 million by 2020.
Countries are keen to take advantage. This is why Australia's new prime minister Tony Abbott plans to make it easier for overseas students to study and work there; and why New Zealand's government launched a programme earlier this week to attract more international students. Both of those examples contrast with the UK, where universities claim that a government crackdown on immigration is deterring foreign students.
This is why it can help cities to attract international students, but what does the research by QS show? Here are some of the key findings:
Would you live in an expensive city if you felt you were getting the best education? Do you think employment opportunities or quality of life are most important? Would you like to see your city attract more overseas students? Let us know.

U.S. Official Says Search for Flight 370 May Take Years
After two weeks of underwater searches, no wreckage has been found.
After scanning the ocean floor for two weeks, on Friday the Bluefin-21 submarine is expected to finish searching the 6.2 square mile area that was considered the most likely resting place of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Since the mission failed to turn up any sign of the plane, searchers will begin scouring a wider area of the Indian Ocean. In an interview with Reuters, a senior U.S. defense official offered a dismal prognosis. "We went all in on this small area and didn't find anything. Now you've got to go back to the big area," the official said. "And now you're talking years."

Nokia 700
Nokia had recently announced four Symbian phones running on Symbian OS and the Nokia 700 (aka Zeta) was one among them. Rather than running on the recently released Symbian Anna, it will be running on an even newly update Symbian Belle. Nokia has managed to be very silent about its four Symbian phones and it has only revealed that all these four phone will be packing a 1GHz processor.
Nokia 700 – What to expect?
The main aim of the Nokia 700 will be to help Nokia regain the lost grounds in the smartphone race. Nokia had fallen well out of the race in the past couple of years because of the competitors like Samsung, HTC, LG. The Nokia 700 has a 3.2″inch AMOLED display that sports a resolution of 640×360. It also runs on a 1GHz processor and runs on the Symbian Belle OS. It comes with a couple of cameras – 5MP at the back and a VGA camera in the front for video calling. The dimensions of the phone are 110x51x10mm making it a very compact and easy to use touch phone that just weighs 80grams. The phone has all the connectivity features and has NFC enabled.
Nokia 700 – When to expect?
One thing that Nokia have failed to do in the recent years is to release a phone at the right time. This time Nokia should not risk releasing the phone too late. This may cause the interested people to move away. Also Nokia have been aiming at making a comeback in the affordable smartphone range and hence the price of the Nokia 700 is expected to be around Rs13000.

Vicious for Xcode adds Vi functionality to Xcode. Many of the traditional Vi commands work exactly as you would expect them to do. It's the perfect combination of Xcode functionality with the power of Vi!
You don't want your editor to constantly stand in your way. Vicious for Xcode is unobtrusive. It indicates the current mode and lets you enter your commands. That's it, you won't see anything else!
Vi can be used in many ways. Vicious for Xcode lets you configure the way it works to your personal needs. There's a whole preference dialog waiting for you!
Vicious for Xcode is a plugin for Xcode 4 that emulates Vi keybindings in Xcode text editors. It doesn't implement all of Vi but most of the parts used in daily code editing are available.
That's correct. Xcode 4 doesn't provide any documented public plugin API. However it still supports loading custom plugins the way Xcode 3 and older version did. That's how Vicious gets loaded into Xcode.
Well, no. Right now Vicious supports a large subset of normal mode commands as well as the most important Ex commands. Your favourite command is missing? Tell us, we'll implement it!
Yes! Vicious supports visual mode operations with characterwise, linewise and blockwise text selection. A visual selection can also be converted to a regular Xcode selection.
Vicious embeds a small handler into Xcode's text handling system. Most of the Vi commands themselves are written in Lua. That enables easy customization and modification of commands at runtime without having to restart Xcode. Using Lua also prevents a lot of crashes that can happen when using a pure Objective C plugin implementation.
Yes, for sure! Vicious allows you to use all the usual Xcode text modification commands while being in insert mode. All keybindings as well as the menu options will peacefully coexist with the Vi commands Vicious provides. In case you temporarily need to disable Vicious you can do so in the preferences dialog of Vicious added to the "Xcode" menu.

Matthew McConaughey who just won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in "Dallas Buyer's Club" is poised to make history as the first man to win an Oscar and an Emmy in the same year. According to Yahoo News on March 10, the 43-year-old star will be the first male to achieve the double win.
McConaughey is an early favorite to win the Outstanding Lead Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries for HBO's "True Detective." If it comes to pass, he will be the first actor in history to win an Oscar and an Emmy in the same year.
Gold Derby, an awards tracking site has three out of its four experts picking McConaughey as the one to beat in the Outstanding Actor category, finishing above hi "True Detectives" costa, Woody Harrelson.
Harrelson and McConaughey star in the HBO series as cops after a serial killer. The 8-episode series completed its first season this past Sunday with a series high 3.5 million viewers according to HBO's posted numbers. The anthology-type series is likely to be categorized as a miniseries, like "American Horror Story." McConaughey has already said he will not be returning to "True Detectives."
Several actresses have pulled off the double win in the past, including Helen Hunt, Meryl Streep, and Helen Mirren. Liza Minnelli is also a double winner but she did hers in the year when she won her EGOT – the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.

How can I restore a MacBook Pro to factory settings if the original disc is lost?
On 10.7 and 10.8, you can start up from the recovery partition, erase the disk in Disk Utility, and download and install a new version of OS X. It's free if your Mac was preinstalled with 10.8, but I don't know about other cases. If you don't erase the disk first, it will just do do an upgrade install over the current installation.
If you are on 10.6 and your Mac supports 10.8, you can buy 10.8 from App Store first. Installing it always adds the recovery partition.
The installation disks that came with Macs don't usually work with other types of Macs, but the ones that were sold separately do of course. Apple no longer sells installation disks, but you can still download torrents for them or buy them used.
Related questions:
Before macbooks sold with Lion pre-installed, there isn't a hidden image letting you reinstall without the CD, you need the CD or USB. A retail disk (what you bought to upgrade from Leopard to Snow) will work on any Mac, so you can borrow it from a friend. An included, unprinted CD is generally tied to the type and year of mac, so only try that if it matches.
Reboot the computer.
Hold down command+s after the chime.
At the prompt enter the following. Hit return after each line.

Water resource education, research and policy experts gather in South Lake Tahoe
Last week in South Lake Tahoe an international group of water resource education, research and policy experts gathered to discuss the important scientific and policy challenges of sustaining the planet's water resources and ecological functions of pristine environments like the Lake Tahoe basin in a changing climate.(Lake Tahoe) -
The annual meeting, presented by the Universities Council on Water Resources and National Institutes for Water Resources, was co-sponsored by Nevada's Desert Research Institute, Southern Illinois University and the Ivanhoe Foundation.
"It is very fitting that we're having this discussion in Lake Tahoe," said Alan Heyvaert, an Associate Research Professor at Reno's Desert Research Institute and Co-Chair of the conference committee. "This region is a bit like the canary in the coal mine. We are on the forefront of water resources related research and education. Through collaborative monitoring and a diverse portfolio of ongoing research projects we're able to share a collective understanding of how the Tahoe basin is responding to climate and anthropogenic stresses."
Tuesday morning's opening session featured a thought-provoking water policy discussion with Ross Miller, Secretary of State of Nevada and Patricia Mulroy, the General Manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority.
Miller shared with the audience how frustrations between conservation groups, policy makers and resource managers led to a dramatic threat discussed in the 2011 Nevada Legislature to withdraw from the bi-state Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.
Two years later, Miller explained, that single action has resulted in real discussions of the problems in the basin and a renewed level of commitment and cooperation by all the parties involved, including direct involvement from both Governor Brain Sandoval of Nevada and Governor Jerry Brown of California.
Mulroy, who leads a progressive agency responsible for acquiring, treating and delivering water to local agencies that collectively serve two-million residents and nearly 40-million annual visitors in Southern Nevada, shared the measures that agencies like hers are preparing to make to prepare for the extreme consequences of less and less water availability in the West.
"We're not going to conserve our way out of this," she told the audience of more than 100 executives on Tuesday morning. "As climate change shows its ugly face on the nation's water supply the worst thing we can do is keep the hyperbole going."
Mulroy pointed out that the Las Vegas community already reuses 93 percent of its water.
"We're already pushing the envelope when it comes to the easy solutions," she said. "We have to diversify where our water comes from. And in arid regions like Nevada, that is an extremely hard thing to do."
Miller and Mulroy helped kick off three days of technical programs, executive sessions and site tours around the Lake Tahoe basin. Topics included talks on Invasive Species Policy and Management, Agricultural Water Management, International Water Security and Urbanization and more.
Additionally, on the evening of Wednesday, June 12, long-time Tahoe local Heather Segale, U.C. Davis Education and Outreach Director was honored with the annual Education and Public Service Awards for her significant contributions to increase public awareness of water resource development, use and management. Jon Bartholic, Director of the Institute of Water Research at Michigan State University was honored with a similar award.

Mastering Your Body Language & More
Master Your Body Language
david d. respondsYou're welcome for the information.
And nice!
I'm glad to hear that you're practicing on everyone.
One of the great "extra" benefits that you get from using the concepts that you're learning here is that you'll have more fun in your "regular" relationships... and in business.
To answer your question about "the wrinkled eyebrow" that was mentioned in a previous newsletter, find a copy of A Streetcar Named Desire and check out Marlon Brando on the cover, or find a picture of Colin Farrell.
Notice the look that these guys have on their faces.
There's something about this particular look that says: "I'm a man. I'm a bad boy. I'm sexy, and I know it."
This is a deep topic, and it's something that I go into detail about in my Advanced Dating Techniques program.
The long-and-short of it is that men can do things that women find "sexy" and this is one of them. You don't have to be naturally "handsome" for women to find you "sexy." Again, this is a deep topic, but that's the basic idea.
reader's commentDave,
My name is Z and do I have a success story for you.
I'm a guy who got the girls, but only the ones that weren't what I wanted and I could never find out how to get the ones that I wanted. That was, however, until I decided to try your program. I mean, I practiced the "get the e-mail, not the number" kind of thing for days until this one pool party. I went up to a girl and started talking to her for a few minutes and to make a long story short, I got the number and the e-mail. And then another and another until I finally left with four. Thanks a lot! Keep sending me info and I WILL read it.
david d. respondsYeah, it's fun to learn how to start meeting and getting e-mails/numbers from the kinds of girls that you really want, isn't it?
I can remember back a few years when I would have thought it would be impossible to get four e-mails and numbers from women in one night. Now, four or five is no big deal.
Thanks for the story. It really helps to know that other guys are out there doing it.

If water is collecting near your water heater, don't hesitate to hit the water shut-off valve right away. Any delay on your part will give a little leak time to turn into a big one, causing more damage, requiring more work, and being generally harder to stop. When the time comes and you need the assistance of a plumber, the DCA can supply you with excellent records for review or reference. You can make sure that their license is up to date and if there are any negative complaints against them. Only hire contractors with a current, active license. It is a very bad idea to get involved with any contractor that does not maintain a current license.
To improve your home's water-hating efficiency, you should figure out the right size water tank to provide enough hot water for the whole household. Having an idea as to how much water is being used by each appliance and people in your home will let you decide on the best size for your hot water tank. As intimidating as plumbing can be, the task usually isn't as intimidating as it looks. There are just basics that you need to know well. You just need to do some research, use common sense, and work to find the most effective method to complete your job.
Pour equal parts baking soda followed by vinegar down your bathtub drain once a month. Cover it with a plug or rag, since a chemical reaction should happen in the pipes. After about 10 minutes you can flush the pipes out with boiling water. This method clears out soap scum buildup and accumulated hair that gets caught in the pipes.
Plumbing nightmares are not uncommon, since many people believe that broken plumbing will demolish their house. Know where your main water valve is to avoid flooding in case of serious plumbing issues. In order to prevent water damage to your home, you must know the location of the water register, and how you can quickly turn it off. You should regularly check for water damage to your bathroom floor caused by your toilet in order to save money and further complications. Feel the floor around the toilet and check to see if the floor is soft, molded, chipping, etc. Stand above the toilet with a foot positioned on each side up close to the base. Shift your weight back and forth to detect any weakness or sponginess. You can save a lot if you catch these issue sooner.
To keep your pipes from freezing during winter, keep some heat on the pipes that are exposed. You pipes may freeze in very cold weather. Even pipes located inside of the house can freeze. Wrap your pipes in insulation or use a heat lamp to prevent freezing.
Make sure to insulate any pipes in spaces that get very cold in the winter, like attics, crawl spaces, and on exterior walls. Inexpensive pipe insulation is available at any home improvement store, and is easy to install. This prevents the pipe from freezing, which can cause it to burst, and also keeps your hot water from cooling down as it travels through the pipe to your faucet or shower head.
Avoid chemical based drain openers when you need to deal with drain clogs. These chemicals are caustic and can actually burn you if they come in contact with your skin. If you must use such chemicals, be sure to wear long sleeves and gloves.
It's just as harmful, if not worse, to tighten your pipes too much when installing them as it is to leave them too loose. It can damage the pipe's threads, or crack the pipe, only tighten it until it stops the leak and nothing more. Water that drains back into your dishwasher is likely due to an improper sink hook up. The hose that runs from your kitchen sink to your dishwasher needs to be positioned uphill, and then bend back downhill to prevent the water from each device mixing.
You need to snake your washing machine drain stack if it overflows with a pipe snake. Lint, coins, paper and other small items can get expelled in the wash, leading to a drain clog.
