Madcap is sitting pretty on her mooring at Fernandina Beach City Marina. We spent Sunday evening at anchor in the little channel that winds up through the marshes behind the mooring field, but because we planned to be away from the boat for several nights, we took a ball just as soon as one became available on Monday morning, and stayed for a week. ($15 per day or $90 for a week) That is a lovely little anchorage with space for a number of boats and not all that much further away from the dinghy dock at the marina.
Sandi, Steve, Jim and I had lunch last week with Marilyn and Vic (Whisper). We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at 29 South with Mike and Jennifer Harrison, and Steve and Sandi. Mike is an electrical engineer and was the trouble shooter guy who spent many hours on Madcap in the spring, trying to figure out the problem with the electrical system. Last Friday, Jim and I went off to St. Simon's and Jekyll Islands for a day trip with Steve and Sandi - so pretty to explore around - and then were slow to get to the boat yard on Saturday because we stopped to run some errands on the way. When we got there, we found a note from Jeannie saying they'd been there twice! Nancy and Bruce (Seabird) and Jeannie and Jim (Estelle) were anchored in the marshes I mentioned earlier, and it was a treat to have a little visiting time with them. We met for dinner and caught up on all the news and travel plans (back at 29 South - so delicious - southern food with a classy twist: fried green tomatoes ... pulled pork in spring rolls and in a Cobb salad that is sublime... crispy fried catfish with an oyster etouffe ... grilled mahi mahi on a bed of lima bean and fresh corn succotash ... mmmm.) What a delight to see all these old friends. (Nancy sent this pic) Despite the way it looks, we really have been working more than playing!
The exterior teak is pretty much all done (except for the hand rails which need a lot of work and will have to wait for another time) and we finally cleared and cleaned the cabin sole and applied the long awaited coats of Ultimate Sole. We bought that product in 2007 at the Annapolis boat show, intending to get it on that year. Here we are 3 years later, and while the floor deteriorated some over that time - dings and scrapes and areas where the finish was pretty well worn off - it looks pretty darned good now. It has a nice glossy finish that somehow also manages to be non skid. The product isn't available any more so I'm glad we have another can tucked away for the future. I also put some little area rugs down to help protect the sole, and got big towels to cover the settee seats in the salon and perhaps keep the salt out of the upholstery. Oh - another recommendation - the folks at Topstitch replaced the zipper in one of the cushions. Same day service with a smile!
We've provisioned and provisioned - and once again are supremely thankful for the storage capacity of the Bayfield 36's. Each year I get so overwhelmed with the mounds of bags and boxes, and yet each year it all finds a place. Mind you, I could still use another 6 feet on this boat. Every nook and cranny is stuffed full and because we put things wherever they will fit, there is sometimes not a lot of order and reason to what is where. The Bayfield bathtub is full again and not with bubbles! Anyone planning to take a shower will have a fair bit of shifting to do before there is room for a body in there! The aft cabin/aka garage is crammed to the ceiling. We bought a new Viking valise life raft this year, and that sucker takes up a whole lot of room. It won't fit in either of the cockpit lockers, so it will live in the aft cabin most of the time and be hauled up to the cockpit for passages. It is one of those things that we hope never to use, and it bugs me to have it taking up so much space. Ahhh well - good insurance I hope.
Another boat show purchase was a new 9.5 ft AB dinghy with a fiberglass bottom, and we are delighted with it so far. It sits higher in the water so perhaps we won't get as wet; it is lighter than the old Brig which means hauling it up on the beach and up on the davits will be easier; aaand, one more plus, it will be better able to handle last year's purchase - the Yanmar 15 hp outboard motor. Oh the places we'll go!!
11/11/2010/4:53 pm, Fernandina Beach, FL
As of Wednesday night, we were at the water's edge, and Thursday morning we were in the water!
We applied 3 coats of cetol on the rub rails, bowsprit and cockpit; we cleaned and waxed the hull (Collinette is our favourite product); Jim has gone over the electrical system from top to bottom. Along with our own efforts, many other people have been buzzing around Madcap - it's a veritable beehive of activity! Dave (from Tiger Point) painted the bottom and once Madcap was in the sling last night, he finished off the job by painting the bits that were under the pads of the cradle so we won't have a garden growing anywhere on the hull.
Larry (from the Sign Shoppe) put our new lettering on the stern and it is truly beautiful. Bob Roth came out last week to take pictures and talk about what we wanted. We dropped into the shop several times to change this and check that, and yesterday we saw the results. We have new MADCAP lettering and a new port of registration - we are now officially out of Halifax, NS, (and are now registered instead of just licensed). I'll add the pic later - my camera battery seems to have died.
Pat (Jackson Electronics) climbed to the top of the mast on Tuesday to replace the anchor light. He has given us excellent service through the winter, replacing all the things that got fried last year, and on Monday night, he flew home on the red eye from attending the funeral of a family member in order to keep the appointments he had on Tuesday - ours being one. That's an impressive commitment. Walt (Tiger Point) installed a new bilge alarm and put a fuel filter on our new dinghy - among many other tasks over the summer. Mark (Tiger Point) installed a new electrical panel at the nav station during the summer, and between them all, our fixes and improvements have happened. We have the feeling that all the guys have taken an interest in our Madcap and they all seem to like her just about as much as we do. Good thing there are so many successful outcomes and positive feedback because it sure costs money!!
Boatyard camaraderie is alive and well here. As we've worked, we've chatted with Denise and Steve (Charisma) two boats up the lane, and Cindy and Jeff (Salty Dog) across the way. We'll all be launching in the next few days and look forward to some proper socializing once we are in the water. Cindy loaned me her ladder and board scaffolding when she saw me climbing up and down our long ladder every 2 minutes and it was just the most wonderful thing. I'm sure it saved me a hundred climbs. I am sporting my annual crop of sailboat bruises, but they would be far worse without those boards to step along instead of an extension ladder to reach around. Jim and I are both feeling achy muscles, and weary bones and sometimes complete exhaustion at the end of a day. Thank goodness we do all this in pursuit of something we both enjoy so much!
On the fun side, we've managed a beer or two at the Green Turtle on 3rd St, salad and pizza a couple of times at Moon River on 14th St. Besides that, we've continued to enjoy fabulous hospitality at Sandi and Steve's with good meals, transportation, encouragement and stimulating conversation in the evenings. Sandi, Jim and I have walked the golf course on several mornings. Dennis and Jan (Lady's Choice) have arrived from Solomon's Island and we've had the opportunity to listen in on some highly entertaining stories. Marilyn and Vic (Whisper) are in the area and we hope to see them soon too.
After launch on Thursday we will stay on the dock at Tiger Point for a couple of days to clean the interior of the boat - no small chore - get the sails on, fill up with water, load groceries and all that sort of thing. We need some new fenders (and more boat wax before that job can be finished) and a whole cartload of other odds and sods from West Marine. The plan then is to go around the corner to pick up a mooring at Fernandina Harbour Marina. We stopped in there on Tuesday and were met with Sasson's smiling face and welcoming, "Here are the Madcaps!" No wonder this place feels like a home for us!
We are having trouble thinking more than 5 or 6 days into the future. We do plan to head south eventually and try to get to the Bahamas in early December!
08/11/2010/10:44 am, Fernandina Beach, FL
Jim and I have been hard at work in Fernandina Beach for a week now. We took a new approach to coming down here this time - we flew from Halifax to Boston and then took the train to Jacksonville. It was the first time I had travelled in one of those cute little sleeper compartments and it was certainly worth trying out. The price was right, the scenery was pretty, and we shared a dinner table with some interesting folks who were on their way back south from the Jon Stewart rally in Washington. Everyone we spoke with seems to have had a wonderful time at that.
Madcap survived the summer well and seems to have most of her systems working. She is still on the hard but we hope to launch on Wednesday. I have been steadily working away at getting the teak cleaned and cetoled (is that a word? "varnished" would work better linguistically but I'm applying cetol, not varnish!) The picture above shows our freshly pained bottom and the gleam of the wood (along with ugly tape to keep the cetol off the gelcoat!) Jim has been re-sealing the chainplates to get rid of a small but persistent leak we had, installing a new windlass switch, and exploring all the new electrical work to make sure everything was done according to plan. Our mast top anchor/navigation light is not working and is scheduled to be replaced on Tuesday and new lettering goes on the stern but everything else seems good to go. We had a new survey done for insurance purposes and Bill Gladding reported that Madcap is in average or above average condition in all respects. Yeah! Bill did a very thorough survey for a reasonable cost and we happily recommend him. (www.gladdingmarinesurvey.com)
The weather has been downright cold the last few days but is supposed to warm up again. I left most of our warm clothing home because I figured this could not be a repeat of last year, so as a result, we've been layering heavily and look like Pillsbury dough boys as we climb up and down the ladders! Both of us lost some weight over the summer but you wouldn't know it to see us. I refuse to think that the eating and drinking with our friends here has anything at all to do with it!
We are so fortunate to be able to stay with Sandi and Steve (Princess). They haven't kicked us out yet! We've visited a couple of times with Dick and Tina - including a marvellous birthday celebration for Dick last night. We took time on Saturday to visit the farmers market and watch the Veterans' Day parade - not sure why it was Sat instead of on the 11th!
Harris Teeter (that wonderful grocery store in Amelia Island) had case lots of wine on sale for 15% off so we took advantage of that and stocked up for the winter. Hmmm.... the fact that we have reduced-fat potato chips and wine and dried cranberries (all on sale!) and nothing else on board for provisions does not really reflect the way we plan to eat this year. Sandi and I will make a Costco run this week.
With any luck, I will find time to write more interesting postings and tell you of remarkable adventures as time goes on! We'll stay in this area for another week or two before we head further south.

Good Morning!
Home County was a BLAST!
Woah. List.
Good morning. I'm waiting to live vicariously through the stories of people who were at HC this past weekend. Any new blog shnogs we should be aware of?
RE: Home County - Nice to see you all again. I drank too much Friday night. Ack.
Hi people!
Beautiful day in Ottawa: temperate-tures (hah!), finally, sunny, gorgeous summer.
TECH NOTE: screwup in the link from the Alanna pix, on the "previous" (main R3) page; it links to an obsolete Top 100 page, not to this one.
(Check the dates of the 3 comments there.)
1, garf, baby? Who's having a baby?
aaaaaaand, it's Monday again. Time for another 20 randomly chosen Canadian albums. I wonder when they're going to bring out Raffi.
@BfO - re:weather - agreed. It's about time summer showed up
@BfO #9, Oh you don't know them but they seem to be a nice young couple from the village. He works for the family (that sounds fishy to me) and she has something to do with the media but other than that I don't know much about them.
Good morning!
What do you mean, Garfield? Are you not anxiously refreshing the Twitter feed for the Clarence House every minute or so?! ;)
(There is something very odd about the Royal's tweeting... at least, to me)
@StevieRayK -- you, Craig and the band seem to be rockin' pretty hard Friday night, despite the rain (instagram pic via our own tb3)
Hmm Alanna's blog link goes to another dead blog.
Hi Folkz!
One more: Craig (w- the band) and Basia Bulat jamming at a workshop (instagram -video clip via tb3)
@EricR #13, I look forward to hearing that they have had a happy and healthy child but I don't need 24hr rolling coverage of a person stood outside telling us nothing has changed.
@EricR - yup, Rockin in the rain.
@GarfieldUK -- it's amazing what "journalism" has become in this 21st century, eh? The fact that you can get 24-7, non-stop coverage of an empty board outside a hospital, broken up only by old clips and interviews, ready to be interrupted at a moment's notice.
13, Ya, non-twitterese: "Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge has been admitted to St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London in the early stages of labour."
(My lame attempt at modernisation. Other attempts welcome.)
-----> HeY! RoyHi CamB DUCHESS: off the St Mary's Hospy, PaddingT, to pop the kid.
19: electronic papparazzi-ism
@Benoit [#020] -- Challenge accepted! My lame attempt:
HRH D/Cambridge -> St. Mary's H, Paddington: Kate's having the baby! Code Blue or Code Pink alert to follow.
Link fixed, sorry about that.
Thanks, Pedro. Better funneling to here...
This is the weirdest record list of all time. Interesting, but baffling.
Kudos to Kathleen Edwards #21!
I didn't know where the active blog was, even though I've been listening.
Found you guys! Morning!
m_c, they try to cleverly hide it from us. Dissimulate it, even.
I knew we should have hidden ourselves better.
@Garf: I like your blog photo!
@SRK: did you lay down some wild guitar licks over Royal Wood tunes?
How did the workshops go?
@Smallie - they didn't give us much to grab onto. Basia in particular, she played all her tunes by herself. I licked a couple of Sex Vest's songs though.
edit from 33: "I licked a couple of Sex Vest"
@SRK: like a lot of "folk fest" attendees, my favourite parts are typically the workshops where various artists manage to play one of their respective songs together as though they've been doing it for years.
I imagine that even with the high levels of skill in the mix it would still be tough as a musician--do you jump in? Do you want to avoid stepping on someone's toes? Could be hard to read.
Green-labeled Coca-Cola in Brasil. The hype:
"'Coca-Cola Life is the first soda from the Coca-Cola family that is naturally sweetened with sugar and Stevia, which adds to our portfolio a delicious taste with a proposed low in calories,' Coca-Cola stated on its Argentinean website.
A mid-calorie Coke using stevia, extracted from a Paraguayan plant.
Also (same page): "Ice, ice, baby: Coca Cola has released a bottle made entirely of ice that is currently only available in Colombia"

(The "ice bottle" part of my 36 includes moans about the product too: excessive watering, timing, contamination. The Second World is becoming the First.)
@Smallie - the idea is too chose songs that aren't too difficult (i.e. - too many chords, odd time signatures etc.) this way everybody can find a spot. Some artists don't seem to understand the concept. It's a workshop, not a song circle.
choose not chose. It says you cho-cho-choose me and it's got a picture of a train on it.
@BFO: were you sleeping on that one?
Hey Y'all! Happy Monday! This week Laurita's coming down for CFF!!! I can't wait!
Cicero - WOOT! Have fun!
smallie, I no longer do simple tyops; I try to only do bad bad word use. Even then, I don't do anything about who's-whose, it's-its, etc., because they're too common.
Although, yeah, I was on another screen.
@Kathy - I will! I was worried for a bit that I broke the blog :-S
I thought that all the workshops went very well, especially Kramden Wood Bulat.
Cicero - Cannot speak for anyone else, but I be SUPER sleepy today.
@KJ - Jesus, me too. It's ridiculous. I almost went back to bed.
Also, I hope all you Home County-ers had a blast! I got a text from Andy the other day who said he and Alisha finally got to see Royal Wood. We attempted to go while they were here but it was rained out. There was a show at someone's condo that was spurred by social media, but we didn't get the in. :( haha
Is it the afternoon?
Holy crap it's already 11:40...
Cicero - I've been teetering on the edge of this annoying cold and I haven't been sleeping super well for over a week. *wahh*
@KJ - Awww! I hate that. It's so much worse to be sleep deprived and almost-nearly-but-not-quite-there sick!
Good morning everyone! Back from a rather spectacular weekend camping in the mountains. Back to *sigh* work.
Also, in the realm of big news (which most of you probably either A) already know about, or B) don't really care about)
@Cicero! I know! Marshmallows, unite! It's freakin' awesome! I didn't get in on the Kickstarter, but I'm super-excited to see the finished product.
Erts er mergerblerg.
Questions - there are no more weekend hosts?
I actually really like this tune, reminds me of my electro days. Also Hi y'all, hope everyone had a great weekend.
I love this list!
Not the picks necessarily and not the order, but it's just fun to go through so many albums that are so random and remember how many good albums there are from my weird, Canada-centred life.
What's going into the top 20 though?! There are so many missing albums still and only 20 spots left! So stressed out aboot this.
@kathyjean, it seems they stopped having weekend host once Raina started being a full time weekday host.
@kathy We haven't had weekend hosts for a while. It might be something we revisit in the future, though.
deiru - I didn't really notice until now when I went back to look for Grant's Friday blog post and saw that there were NONE in between. Hm.
Steve - I thought so! Cool, thanks! I listened on occasion on the weekend but mostly on my phone. Understandable.
@Eric - I put a few dollars towards it, nothing major, but HOLY CRAP AM I EVER EXCITED!!!! I can't believe Weevil got married, and appears to have become all kinds of straight-laced!
@Cicero! I know ... well, right up until he decks Dick at the reunion party! But, yeah... hearing him say the "don't make me look band in front of my wife" -line floored me!
@Eric - right?! I was like "Waaaait, WUT?!" and also, Veronica NOT in the FBI? that seems like crazy talk.
*comes to blog*
*sees veronica mars spoilers*
*flees screaming*
@Cicero! I understand that; it doesn't seem like her to be part of a group like that; she's too independent. However, I do love her responses to the FBI interview.
How was Grant's "last show" on Friday? Really sorry I missed it.
@Lee 68 - Me too :(
...and the only baby birth I am concerned with is Jill and Grant's.
@Eric - was that an FBI interview? I thought it was just a random Law Firm job interview, but if that was FBI (YAY!) then I hope something major comes of it. I agree, she's definitely independent, but I think she could see the benefit of that kind of resources and backing. I'm also just in love with the idea of Veronica Mars: Rogue Federal Agent.
@Kirk - they're not spoilers if they're part of the official trailer!!!
The real party was on Thursday's request show (which you were here for, right?). Friday was pretty tame by comparison.
does anyone watch black is the new orange?
I avoided the trailer on purpose!
@Pinky - I want to, but I've been obsessed with The Sopranos recently. It's on my To Watch list.
Who's Veronica Mars?
@binsy - Yeah, I was here on Thursday, and it was amazing how it felt like CBC Radio3 "back in the old days". Just a wonderful, fun time.
On another note, you haven't lived until you've seen Justin Rutledge do Don't Be So Mean, Jellybean.
Backed by Miranda Mulholland on fiddle.
And also joined by Del Barber, Cold Specks, and Phildel.
Probably one of the best performances of the Folk Fest, along with Jasper by Aidan Knight, with Hannah Georgas, Mo Kenney, and Tim Chaisson joining in.
In the I'm ashamed of my Government Dept.:
Whistleblower Sylvie Therrien suspended after leaking Canada's EI rejection 'quotas'
cicero awww the sopranos! its been awhile since i watched that soo good tho!! i have only watched the first 4 episodes of orange is the new black but i cant wait to find the time to watch more. there is quite a bit of lady on lady sex if that helps you start watching it sooner
@Mr.V, So is it all reruns or just the music selection and R3:30 over the weekend (where can I find a weekend schedule?)
@Lee & Ian, I have recorded the show but I would chastised for sharing it with you.
Shhh... I'll send you the link via the book of faces later, just don't tell anyone.
@Cicero -- I have no idea if it was an FBI interview; it looked to me to be something along those lines. Whatever the case, it was classic Veronica.
@Kirk -- sorry if anything was spoiled for you; I subscribe (for the most part) to Cicero's thinking of it being in the trailer and thus 'fair game'
@Marie_C -- the best, greatest, most amazing TV show ever, starring Kristen Bell as Veronica Mars, the teenage rogue detective... which is probably a terrible description of the show, but still.
@Pinky_Leigh -- I didn't, but my wife powered through the whole season in about a week and really enjoyed it.
@Marie_curious - That's just you being witty and joking, hey? You know who Veronica Mars is, right?
Re: Baby Leave: I've decided that if/when I ever poop out a baby, I will will take no more than a few weeks off to recuperate, then go back to work 2-3 days a week on the days when the future Mr. Curious is off from work. Being away from other grown-ups for too long would surely kill me.
@Pinky - I'd prefer man on lady action, should there be action on my screen, but I'm cool with whatever - it looks like they have a lot of multi-layered female characters, and that doesn't come around super often. I've been reading a lot of great review of it, so I'm definitely interested!
@Eric your wife sounds like a smart lady! its good.
HA i just reread my post #73 and i have it all backwards oh well you all seem to know what i meant
@Garf - Thanks Garry!
Ohhhh... Veronica MARS... I know -of- it...
Sounds like a missed on lot on Thursday and at the VFMF, stupid night shift screwing with my sleeping pattern.
@marie #84 poop out a baby?? something tells me we got different sex ed classes
Pretty Great Rough Rider victory last night, 37-0 over Ha-Ha-Hamilton!
Nice evening to be at the football field with 37,000 of your closest friends.
It was like the good ol days. It was a good time!
Friday was more low key.
@binsy - Did Grant cry?
I wonder why the CBC wouldn't just release this 100 Albums list all at once, it's a major bummer to see it in chunks like this.
I would suggest releasing the list all at once, and in an actual list form instead of these horrible slideshow things that cbc music is obsessed with.
For like, half an hour.
@Pinky: My sources tell me that pooping is inevitable, regardless of where the baby comes out of.
@81 correctamundo
i dont really want to go to work today, i felt like you all should know this. i really just want to hula hoop, play my ukulele, and go to the lake. possibly but not limited to being all at once.
@FT #94, Then they would only be able to use it as a day long topic once instead of five times.
It's weird to put classical music into the mix. Are those really "albums?"
What I mean is, doesn't the album as a piece of artwork really lend itself to popular music? On a classical music album, the musician(s) play one piece of music usually, right? So it's not really put together the way albums are.
@pinky - I have the perfect solution: Call in sick with a terrible case of heartburn. It's weird enough that they won't question it.
@81 also, the weekend varies, but for the most part it's a morning show from the week repeated at 9am ET followed by the R330 on Saturday, and the R330 at 9am ET followed by a different morning show from the week on Sunday.
Say that it was caused by your "fried chicken smootie."
@binsy - exactly. I thought the same thing a couple weeks ago? How can you rank pop records in the same breath as an classical piece? Doesn't seem to jive in my mind.
@marie i have heard that, which dose strengthen my belief that babies are weird and that i dont think i like them
re 83 - I have no fucking clue who Veronica Mars is.
@Mr.V #102, Thank you, I'll update the schedule page on the wiki
It also creates this weird thing where now you have to figure out how to rank Glenn Gould.
Was that the only classical album on the list so far? If so, I question the idea that only one Canadian classical album was as good as Celine Dion's Falling Into You.
I think there have been two.
@FT #106, I think she invented that candy bar, you know the one, what's its name, erm.... oh yeah Milky Way.
I have to just choose not to think aboot the order.
Another thing I love aboot the list is the people they chose to write aboot each album.
<----so I got that piece of wonderful sent yesterday morning from HCFF in London. so Russ & Yort win at everything!
also, I'm sorta turned purple that Music from the Big Pink is #26?!?! the only thing appeasing me is that the eponymous album will finish higher. like top 5. i mean, I'll defend the barenaked ladies against a lot & honestly Gordon has a huge place in music but ahead of Big Pink? um....
glad to see Failer up there tho. well deserved
Did anyone else go out the door metaphorically speaking, and right back in through Graham's blog? There's a bunch of wasted mouse clicks I'll never get back.
@Iceman - Yeah, Ian, I did exactly that.
@flannel tom & binsy i wish but i work seasonally so i kinda need to go and make money when i can. i dont start till 1 and i have tomorrow off so it really isnt that bad. it will just be a long day at the end, plus i dont know if Kevin made it back to work from being in Saskatchewan. oh the joys of working in a mountain lodge... its beautiful tho
I've enjoyed some of the write-ups, but I'm going to proclaim how anti-photo gallery thing I am again. Makes it super annoying to read in a hidden window at work.
And I think there has been at least one "classical" album per grouping so far. Yeah, Glenn Gould, #1? Where's Oscar Peterson? Or that one guy who waves his wand and is known internationally for being good?
Where, oh where do wasted mouseclicks go? Is there a heaven for unused mouseclicks? Does each create an alternate universe? What the heck was God thinking, anyway?
Just a few thoughts.
Yeah, I don't feel that bad for you being at work. Though I can see how tough it would be.
@pinky - yeah that looks ok, I guess.
@FT #119, Harry Potter!?
I was wondering aboot Oscar Peterson too. Are they really going to put that in the same list as Gordon?
That set made me think of three artists which aren't in "the system" that should be: Wil , Jon and Joy, and Current Swell.
It seems like the top 20 will have to be mostly other albums by artists already mentioned.
Makes it super annoying to read in a hidden window at work.
Also, the galleries don't show up in my RSS feed. Just the main post.
deire, that's Ron and Joy, isn't it?
there are a couple Wil songs in the system, but not nearly enough.
I am okay with no Current Swell or Jon & Roy. :p
deire = deiru, sheesh!
I just checked out the other lists, and this is the third classical entry. I don't think I saw any jazz, blues, big band, other things that are not pop or classical. Which makes the inclusion of classical odd.
BUT there is one world music-ish entry: Lhasa de Sela's La Llorona. I love that album. Didn't know it was Canadian.
While we were off camping in our Feather River Canyon country over the weekend, we listened to the 2012 Bucky Awards podcast. That was the first podcast where they used all three remaining R3 hosts, not just Grant doing all of the awards.
Just listening to that podcast, made me realize what we lost when Craig moved on. Being a morning host is a very demanding and crucially important host slot, and no one did it better than Craig did. And even on the podcast, it was the same old Craig coming right through. I mean, only Craig would come up with the idea of describing Said The Whale's Bucky award winning video of We Are 1980 as he was watching it. Hilarious!
@BfO, Yes. and @Kirk, WHAT!! How can you not like Current Swell.
Man, I hate the Barenaked Ladies but I suppose I do understand how Gordon can be on the list. But it should have been #98 or something.
@binsy it can get crazy busy, and people expecting you to be a little more proper. i'm tired at the end of it plus its 30mins to drive up the mountain and 30 more to get back down ... we use company trucks and thats my whole commute so thats not bad. my shifts are just all over the place and im not getting 2 days off in a row right now, but i work lots now so i can go to the island at the end of august
@flannel tom yeah the foods alright too
so is anyone going to come/ pass threw fernie this summer???
I actually really like the slide guitar bit in Cursed, but other than that, I don't like that whole Vancouver Island Surf Rock sound. Them, Jon & Roy, Vince Vacarro... not a big fan.
@mcflyer - I really miss Craig Norris too. I just met him for the first time on the Teeter porch of infamy on Saturday night! He is a genius.
Another random Vancouver Folk Fest thought: Hayden is really boring live.
I don't really like Vince Vacarro either. But in general I like the Vancouver Island sound. CBC music should have an anarchy day on R3 where they only play songs not on "the system" (or they could make a stream for it).
@jdurley - You were at Teeter's? And Craig was there? Were the Kramdens playing there in London? Wow. Wish I'd have been there. How was it?
An article on the Canadian Communications Security Establishment; it comes from the World Socialist Web Site, but seems mostly "regular", not hyped, in tone and information. Required reading?
@FT - yeah - i don't hate them. but that's awfully high. at the time it came out, it for had an effect on Canadian artists getting air play & they have been ground breaking as a team in how a band can use the internet for promotion. like, crazy smart about it. but top 25? naw.
i don't know if i'm worried that Stunt will or won't finish higher. i think Call & Answer still is maybe their best song. it's pretty crushing live.
I love BNL, and I am okay with Gordon's placement. It was the first independent record to go gold in canada!
Yeah, the list of top 100 is some funky. Just 4, in reverse (normal) order:
38, Court and Spark (1974) - Joni Mitchell
39, Rufus Wainwright (1998) - Rufus Wainwright
40, Not Fragile (1974) - Bachman–Turner Overdrive
Helluva sandwich! I really don't know how one can even choose a top 100, let alone rank them. I am nonplussed. Or yeaminussed, or something.
@mcflyer - The Kramdens played friday night at HC and a workshop on Sat. but I missed both performances. :( I was only there for Saturday from 5pm on.
"Gordon" is a brilliant record title. It's kind of too bad how cheesy the album cover design is, though.
@BfO [143] yup.
@Jdurley - Craig a genius? I don't think so. Where the hell were you btw?
Good morning Blog! Well, after meeting Christine & Kirk at the VFMF over the weekend, I decided I'd better at least get on here during my coffee breaks so I'm not such a lurker (was going to use Lurk No More, but that was already taken!).
Fantastic weekend at the Vancouver Folk Fest, have to say that my favourites were many of the musicicans/bands I heard here first on Radio3! Cold Specks' improvised song with Hannah Georgas singing backup accompanied by Mo Kenney on guitar was definitely one of the most amazing musical moments I've ever experienced...so far!
@flagpole - #144 does not compute.
For me, back in the mid to late 90's/early thousands when Barenaked Ladies were all over Much Music and the radio etc, they were representative of everything that was Horrible about Canadian pop music. Maybe in America they meant things like "oh a Canadian band is on the radio" but to me, and I'd say most people of an age in and around 30 who seek out alternative/rock music, Barenaked Ladies are just the worst.
Morning all!
Speed-cleaning before Inlet Sound's arrival!

Yes, of course the article features pictures of escargots gliding on a model's face.
Hello mzkerrydee! Welcome to the blog!
Hello all!
@stevierayk - I'm very, very sorry. Where the hell were you after 5pm Saturday?
@Christine - don't bother - just give them rum ham sandwiches, and they'll be happy.
@FT - i meant for bands crossing over here into the States. not Canada radio play. Gordon wasn't as huge a break for them like Stunt was here, but particularly in 'border' areas like Buffalo & Detroit & Chicago - the ability for them to tour & get known & start getting played broke a ton of ground for other bands in the States. lots of bands you probably do like.
in the liner notes of Gordon, they mention a list of bands they love & had played with & would recommend like Bourbon Tabernacle Choir & er, Stephen Fearing. It's actually where I heard of him. that little list is one of the 2 or 3 events that led me here.
I honestly think it belongs on the list but i know there's people who just loathe htem. & some of the reasons are probably justified. i think Gordon holds up just fine. I just don't necessarily think that say "Be My Yoko Ono" is on par with "I Shall Be Released" for it to finish above that fine Band album
@kirk, 140 - I am anticipating that at RFF. I mean, he's mostly pretty boring to even just listen to, I can't imagine live.
"You know what? Maybe we all need some space, to pull the knife out of the back of the most celebrated Canadian alt-rock band of the mid 90s, you selfish, jaded, ass!"
excuse me?
I bailed after two songs to find friends in the beer garden. I have never been a big fan (I never disliked him either, though) but he just had no energy and seemed like he didn't want to be there. Even his banter between songs was just... flat and monotone.
Good Morning Dexter & Miss McAvoy
Maybe it's just a folk fest hangover, but surely Blue (Joni Mitchell) will be in the top 5, if not number one...I confess I didn't really read the rules for the list about how the albums were selected/rated, and what makes in "Canadian" - is it the nationality of the artists or something to do with the producers?
I think that's a likely prediction. Blue would be in my top 5.
164 - We already decided the list was chosen from a draw from a hat.
There's gotta be some Walter Ostanek in this list somewhere.
but why should we celebrate something that becomes popular in the USA, just because it became popular in the USA?
I don't need to claim or care about BNL, they were what they were and I never liked them because I thought they were cheesy.
That's a problem with Canada and Canadians, we are always get so excited about when "one of us" makes it big in the USA we overlook how crappy it actually is.
jdurley: HAH! most excellent!
For jazz albums, there's also Diana Krall. Is Holly Cole on there at all?
I was really happy to Lhasa included there too. That's gets at the exact thing I love aboot this list. I see Lhasa and I can dig. Then Nomeansno, Sloan, Weakerthans, then Bryan Adams, then Stan Rogers, then Neil Young, the Band, BTO, Rush, Bruce Cockburn, and Barenaked Ladies and I can honestly say I appreciate all of those albums even though they are all SO different. Top 100- British or American albums wouldn't be as crazy.
Sean Cullen is right that I still love hearing "If I had $1 000 000" every single time.
It is of course ridiculous to rank the Band, just below BNL, but I'm just ignoring that. The top 10 is really the only ranking where I will be interested in the order.
@kirk - unfortunately at RFF the entire place is a beer garden so there will be no escape during Hayden's set.
I know I sound pretty worked up about BNL, but let's be honest, I don't really care.
Hayden just isn't festive in any way.
guys i'm back at work after a great home county weekend.
the music was lovely and so were the people.
i like music.
i hate lists.
we should all just drink some gin and forget about them.
i got called in to work because there are too many deadlines.
fucking maps.
I think the list is pretty interesting and the variety is pretty crazy. I also like checking to see who has spoken for which album - like Bif Naked picking Kathleen Edwards. I kind of smirked that Chantal Krev.... pick Our Lady Peace though.
And I have always liked Barenaked Ladies.
@Tom oh they're BNL now?! (watch this)
What are you top 5 gin drinks?
@FT - if you're weighing in account sales in addition to artistic merit, then the ability to sell in the States can have an effect on sales/popularity in Canada. I'm not saying it's right. it just is. & there's people like Chantal Kreviazuk who've opened for them & were probably grateful for the exposure & recognition & money from touring the States.
back in those hated 90's, pre - internet radio that was source of exposure. if a band I like suggested another band. when they would come to say Baltimore & bring along another Canuck band (i think it was Chantal we saw in Baltimore)
i can say from living in Nashville & Baltimore & Kentucky back in the 90s when they were first breaking, they were the band my pals all knew in those cities. & they were happy that Celine wasn't the only thing Canada had on offer.
It takes a lot of guts to admit that you like the Barenaked Ladies. I just do it to show off.
I couldn't believe that scene when I watched that episode.
straight from the bottle
with tonic and cucumber
with lemonade
with cranberry
as Pimms in any of those variations
@T&C - sorry I didn't know who you were. I'd never seen your face before. You should have introduced yourself.
@T&C - HEY!!! - had a nice note from Yort last night about enjoying meeting you & jdurley at HCFF!
also, please know i'm enjoying my discussion & not arguing out of any animus. no one will ever be happy with any list 100%. Tom's made of stern stuff. he loves a good tussle.
i am a lurker
taking it all in from the sidelines.
i will be more social next time now that I know more people
I couldn't care less who knows that I like BNL, or if it's "uncool" to do so, but I have got into internet fights because of it.
I don't even rush to defend them; people are just so vitriolic with their hatred towards them.
Like, they're a goofy and fun and surprisingly deep band but inoffensive, yet people react like they killed and ate your family.
binsy - after I posted that I realized I overlooked Diana Krall as jazz. I think my brain classifies her as pop. But yes, she is representing jazz on the list.
T&C - try adding a bit of mint with tonic and cucumber.
@binsy - because of how much I moved around for work back then & friends I mentioned, I have seen the BNL play in a rather ridiculous # of states, all things considered. (umm...5 that i can think of, including a rather epic performance at Farm Aid in virginia that included Ed & Ty kissing in front of Tipper Gore)
@T&C - What brand is your preference in gin?
@T&C - I should add that there is always a bottle (or two) of gin along when the Shaggin' Wagon is out on the road.
i gotta work. piles and piles of checking.
mcfflyer - I forgot the name of the gin you recommended to me. I think it is packed in an interesting bottle? ( like my gin floral, not juniper-y)
@Kirk re:BNL - same deal with Rush. Ultra important to the Can rock history yet so so despised by the non-Rush fans.
As soon as I saw Moving Pictures at 100, this list was dead to me.
@flagpole - yeah, it was so great hanging out with the legendary Yort! Others I met for the first time: Dawnh, ATrain, daa & gf, wapuche & gf, CanadaJanes & wife, TB3's wife Danielle and Craig fuckin Norris! Throw in CDNZ1, teacart and TB3, and I'd say that's not too shabby!
Someone gave me a bottle of Hendrick's Gin, which was apparently the thing in the US a year or two ago.
I must try it. PUT TONIC WATER ON THE LIST!
Graham - "Shooting milk out of their eyelids"? Wow. That'd certainly be a feat. You write your own material?
I like Gin. There were some G and T's available at chez flannel this past weekend. There was a little something for everyone actually, it was quite and eventful weekend.
I'm falling asleep on my work.
@M_C - I hope you're not a chef
@lee my social studies teacher could do that
Hendrick's Gin is Snarf approved. It falls into the 'floral not juniper-y' category.
I want to try Botanist. I am unabashedly influenced by the name.
#180 @binsy - some nice work there!
Gin - I really like Spirit Bear Gin from the Okanagan. My friend considers himself a gin connoisseur and his ultimate gin is G'Vine, although it's a bit pricey for everyday.
@KOD: I still have suspicions that Ed Robertson may have killed and ate one of our family pets but no human family members.
RE GIN: drinking expensive gin with tonic seems a waste, just like drinking Grey Goose with coke. Save it for a nice martini or some such thing.
I was having Gin and tonic with lime on Saturday. I am a new gin drinker(other than that lemon gin of my youth), so this topic is interesting to me.
@CHRISTINE, #179 - HAHAHAHAHAHA, nice one!
Do you think I could find work as a mattress tester? 'cause I'd be great at it.
@m_c - once I get established, I could try to bring you in.
@Snarf [194] - My gin of preference, due to taste and its moderate cost is Bootles Gin from the UK. However, when I was at BevMo (Beverages and More) on Thursday, it was at full cost ($18.95) for a 750ml bottle, and instead I got a 750 of Bombay Saphhire for the same price. But that bottle of Saphhire came with a $2 off coupon for any mixer, and since I was there to get margarita mix for Peggy, that coupon came into play!
But wow - like craft beers, there are dozens of craft gins out there!
And Benoit, I've had Hendrick's Gin too.
I just find that people get so offended by the name.
#196 - Two GIANT thumbs up to that. i loved my last svisit to HCFF & it was the first place I met a load of those folk in person too.
Danielle is the advertisement for eating healthy & exercising, eh?
<---that there is what sir Shaggy messaged me & it sure made my day. according to Yort they went up to say hi & that they were pals of mine & he was all.....well, where's my phone. we have to send her a photo!
did anyone go hug Steve with Royal Wood's band for me? he'll be quite sad if not..
@jdurley #209, I've been trying to volunteer for that job for years.
also. gin? you can have my share. but Hendriks is still pretty popular here
Has Corb Lund been on the list yet? If so, which album?
@Smalliebigs - Totally agree on not wasting pricey gin on a G&T. That's what the plastic bottles of Gordons Distilled Gin are for!
@MCLee: those prices are stupendously low compared to what we'd drop north of the 49th.
@smallie - Yeah, when Teeter took me to the local London beer store, I was aghast at what you pay for beer. Like almost double what we pay here - and we can buy booze damn near everywhere, including the grocery store or the gas station!
@smallie - but if you want to go high end, there are some quite expensive gins at BevMo, easily over $70 per bottle. You'd want to sip that carefully.
Ms. binsy and I were pretty surpised at the wide variety of booze we needed to bring for a week at a cabin. Like, two kinds of gin, one for sipping, one for G&Ts.
The last thing you want is to be sitting at the cabin with the perfect drink in mind and realize that you don't have the right ingredients, so we brought it all.
even in a G&T Gordons tastes like rotten carrot peels and teenage over indulgence. OK maybe that is my personal association.
@mcfflyer #218
america (and quebec) are very civilized in that way.
@snarf - funny that's what smirnoff & silent sam vodkas are like for me (if you replace carrot peels with nail polish remover).
@MCLee: if I saved that much on beer and other stuff generally I'd be able to spring for a nice bottle more often.
I remember the first time I saw beer at a depaneur in Quebec. It felt magical.
We pay more money for booze to subsidize all the free health care that is used up by drunken accidents.
In other news:
@binsy - Not "america" as a whole. California and some other states, like Nevada and Colorado. Oregon had open sales of beer and wine, but you have to go to the state liquor store for the hard stuff. And my gosh, don't go to Utah.
silent sam = nail polish remover, curdled orange juice*, and being broke
*I know orange juice doesn't curdle
@Snarf - what gin do you use in your G&Ts? I have to say I use Gordon's, if only because I have about 3 liters of the stuff left over from my dad's liquor cabinet.
Oh gin! I'm a Hendricks fan (and a Hendrix fan), there are new distilleries poppiing up in Vancouver, so I'm looking forward to trying some new local gin. When I was a kid my grandmother used to feed me the olives from her martinis...it was many years before I realized that the flavour that I had thought was "green olive" was actually gin!
@mzkerrydee - And let me give you the R3 blog welcome. Don't just lurk. It's just not morally right.
And I'm blown away with all of this Hendricks gin love today. I had no idea!
Hendrix looks like he could use a Hendricks
217, smalliebigs: yes, here, we've been taxed away from sinning with alcohol since forever. More so in Ontario than in Québec, I'm told.
[232] also, a poutine. or two.
@steve v [202] - Your social studies teach could do what? Shoot milk out of his eyelids? Or do you mean out of his tear ducts? Is this something you're taught in Canada? And this special skill is useful how?
mcfflyer - Bombay, more often than not.
Also, my memory may be faulty. It might be Beefeater that I hate.
hey - @Kirk - have you been looking at Comic-Con photos anywhere? the Doctor Who folk brought David Bradley along. he's having a helluva year, eh? GOT. Broadchurch. Doctor Who. not at all shabby.
218: yeah, isn't drinking* and driving the subject of an amendment to your Constitution?
*for cheap
@Benoit - I have no idea what you're talking about here [238].
I have seen next to nothing from Comic-Con so far. I was too busy at the folk fest, but also kind of avoiding/ignoring everything for sadness of not being there reasons.
@binsy [220] - Your cabin is my motor home. I bring it all with me when we're camping because I can!
@Kirk - He's everywhere, he's everywhere! Looks like MusicSoop is down in San Diego for CC!
I've mentioned this before, discovering "La Trappe" in Gatineau: a specialty food store crammed with expensive foods quite unlike the ones in Ontario, not that I know those all that well, but you can tell the different provenances; they have beers from a raft of Québec craft breweries, one on which (Les Trois Mousquetaires) produces not one, not two, but three (price) ranges of brewed excellence.
I think I should go by there later on today. Just to see.
@kirk -ha. yep. i haven't seen a ton but possibly the one thing EW does well is event galleries for stuff like that. i had a bit of ROMO but honestly not sure i'd ever actually go. not so much for crowds & costumes.
pretty sure i saw his shot in one of their galleries.
did Whitehorse just kill it at VCFF? saw lots of people raving about them on the interwebs
@Lee #218, It would be interesting (for me at least) to see how much certain beers, wines and spirits are sold for and try work out how much is paid per litre to create an index of sorts not unlike the Big Mac Index but for alcohol.
239: being able to drive to your corner store for more hard stuff. Ah well, an attempted joke. No matter.
Actually Benoit, I think you can go to a drive up window to buy booze in Texas!
@mcfflyer, I know! I didn't mean to lurk, I swear! I did blog during one show when there was a particularly personal topic being discussed, for that very reason! Honestly, when I'm at work my computer is running so many things that this site just doesn't work, but I think I've figured it out now! I CAN do it all!
*ow much is paid per litre in each area to create an index *
@mzkerrydee - But I'm really happy that you've joined us all. Some of the finest people on the planet are here.
@mcfflyer - #247. i'm not sure if you still can but my cousin used to cashier at a drive thru liquor store in Kalamazoo. it was an old converted garage.
(small edit to 243: one on which = one of which)
I didn't see Corb Lund on the list yet, so I'm hoping he's on there somewhere! And I would have included an album from SNFU on my top 100 for sure..
One great thing about eating cherries is that I have a spitoon on my desk for the pits.
There has to be a Corb Lund album!
See that's the kind of thing that concerns me here. There are only 20 spots left. At least half of those will go to the better albums by people already mentioned, which leaves so few spots left for anyone who's been left off the list so far!
the cast of Get Shorty are dropping like flies. I hope Gene Hackman's had a check up recently.
sorry, that's a tacky way to say it appears Dennis Farina died.
Years ago, in Ontario, you couldn't buy beer or "spirits" on Sundays or legal holidays. You still can't on legal holidays, today. No kidding. And they open late on Sundays, noon I think.
Of course, in Ottawa, if there's a crisis in matters of beer or (cheap) wine, there IS Hull (now an area of Gatineau) just across the river.
254: poittt ding!
Oh, and happy birthday to Rufus Wainwright! His dad, who unbelievable had never played the Vancouver Folk Fest until yesterday, announced that it was his 40th today.
One or two t's in spittoon? (googles furiously)
More exactly.
@BfO #258, Marvellous shot Sir, kudos.
i have adored Loudin since back in his M*A*SH* days. what a treat for VCFF.
ok, here's Rufus. aged 12. Tommy Tricker. just because that makes me giggle.
This buddy of mine missed a wedding party on the weekend and we were all wondering what happened to him.
Turns out he and his girlfriend were camping on an island and in one of those crazy storms we've had lately their canoe blew away! They found marks left by the canoe on trees and rocks 12 feet away and figure it must have been picked up and just tossed by the wind.
It got serious. They were rationing food. They tried (and failed) to build a raft! My buddy told his girlfriend that he loved her! They contemplated putting on their life jackets and trying to swim home!
Finally the wind let up enough that more people paddled by and helped them get out. Whew!
Really glad that Old Prince is on the list, but not TSOL.
binsy, wow!
and what about Dave Shumka*, just the other week?!
What's this about the world getting serious, anyway?
*http://daveshumka.tumblr.com/, scroll down to July 10 -- sensitive souls (who haven't already seen) be warned
Seeing I brought it back up, here's the CBC story on the Shumka shooting referred to in 268:
(man if I didn't break the blog with that...)
All busy reading I guess.
K, you lot. off to the bus. should be back for the afternoon show for a bit
have a good day!
I think most people saw it last week, when we discussed it, and don't have anything else to say?
carburetor, dear lad? Tune it with a stethoscope, perhaps?
Been fuel injection for years...
I had no idea aboot the Shumka incident! Just read the links you put up Benoit.
That is shocking.
@BfO #270, Sorry, I'm still playing with sketchup.
garf, at least it's not called "scatsup".
(That may be funnier for mcfflyer, dunno.)
@BfO #278, I get it, I don't want it, but I get it.
I just quickly scanned some coments and I would most surely agree that an SNFu album should be on this list. And a Dayglo Abortions album. and anything else that will be looked over because it's too fringe.
In all seriousness though, Gob Too Late No Friends missing from this list is a travesty. It's a quintessential 90's punk rock album. Same goes for Chixdiggit! S/T. They won't be in the top 20 I'm assuming.
Also Priestess Hello Master should be on this list but I fear it wont be.
This headline may or may not read right:
U.K. to compel customers to opt-in for internet porn
Sharon, Lois & Bram are also conspicuously absent.
re: drive-thru liquor stores - they have them in Dartmouth.
Off for now!
@tom – there will be no Dayglos or SNFU. At this point there is just no way.
Has there been a 54-40 album yet?
or Teenage Head?
@binsy - whoa! crazy story about your pals stranded on an island. Glad things worked out for them. And, awwwww, he loves her!
This fake ham tastes more like fake salami to me.
@srk - I think there was a 54-40 album but I don't remember which one. And I don't recall Teenage Head being on there. but again, if CBC Music just made an actual list, we'd be able to conform or deny this!
stevierayk - yes and yes
I will back up Snarf - pretty sure I remember both 54-50 and Teenage Head being on the list.
OK then, back to what you were doing.
is this going to turn into Raffi v. SL&B?
@jdurley - That song is always lurking in my mind and you have just brought it out again. Thanks for that. I think.....
@darbar - you love it.
What about 1995'S The Age of Electric?
Has that made an appearance? It should.
or limblifter?
We would have to throw Fred Penner in this mix, too.
@jdurley #298, Is knowing that song a sign that you are Canadian?
They were all a part of my childhood and mean a lot to me. They're equal in my eyes. :) (Sharon, Lois & Bram, Raffi and Fred Penner I mean.)
Is it time to go home yet?
Charlotte Diamond. Hands down.
It was far better than Barney, that is for damn sure!
Not yet Hank, sorry.
@GARF - - no it's a sign that soul is being tortured.
*sigh* long Monday...
your soul
No Limblifter. No Age of Electric. (that I recall)
OK, now I agree. They need to make single list for reference.
No. Charlotte. Diamond.
Kirk - you must be younger than me. My sister loves her but I detest her.
Remember The Gandharvas? They were a pretty influential 90's Canadian band. Pretty sure they were Canadian? Probably won't be pn this list, need to make way for 3 BNL albums.
@Ftom: I do remember them. They had a big single..was it "Downtime" or something like that?
This album by Gandharvas was a big one, I remember.
Gandharvas? Are we adding one hit wonders to the top 100 list now?
as long as that one hit was a classic, then why not?
@NVP: my favourite part of that story is that by leading the horse in to the restaurant and having it poo this lady basically justified the other side's behaviour from the outset.
Or Sons of Freedom!
Half of the acts on this list haven't even had a hit single. So one up for the Gandharvas.
HOw is anybody supposed to argue whether or not #23 L'heptade (1976) - Harmonium should be on the list. It's not like anybody knows who or what that is.
To Beiber or not to Beiber, that is the question.
I have an album by Harmonium.
I have that Harmonium album!
(but I've never listened to it)
"First Day of Sping" by Gandharvas is a great tune.
54-40 self titled was way way down on the list somewhere. It's the one with "Baby Ran" and also "I go blind" (I think).
I discovered Harmonium when I was in Katimavik from my group leader. I loved it and bought the LP when I got home. I still have the LP, but don't have my record player hooked up and haven't listened to it in years.
I think it's a general consensus though with music critics everywhere that Moxy Fruvous' legendary opus should be in the top ten.
Or the Poppy Family or Triumph or Trooper or The Stampeders. Not saying I like these but really they have all been way more popular than Shad or Kathleen Edwards
Oh man! Imagine the RadioHead OUTRAGE if Moxy Fruvous is anywhere in the top 20! Imagine!
@Binsy - better frickin' not be in the top twenty. Utter shite.
@binsy - that's what I'm pulling for!
OK... now Garf... now it's time to go home... right?
I think if she saw Moxy Fruvous and Joel Plaskett on the same list she'd spontaneously combust from rage.
Ooohhh ME TOO!!!!!
Imagine the outrage!!!
I was wondering when Moxie Fruvous would get a mention! And what, no Loverboy, Headpins or Trooper? Martha and the Muffins? Wow, I have got to get out of the 80's...
Has Corey Hart been mentioned?
Anne Murray?
The Headstones, Smile and Wave?
That's a classic. Is it on the list?
On the weekend we heard the INXS song "Never Tear Us Apart" and had the idea that someone should make a country duet of that song. It would be so good. Think aboot it.
Facebook chat exchange with my kid who is trying to find something:
My kid: Mom im not saying that you put it away somewhere weird but i havent seen it since u took it home from grandmas and put it somewhere weird.
Me: I'm not saying that your room is a mess, but it's probably somewhere in that mess in your room.
the watchmen?
Mom: 1
Kid: 0
Rita MacNeil, John MacDermott, The Rankins..... [to play devils advocate]
there's a million that could but they failed to say the best pop/rock albums of all time and now they have to please everybody by having a little classical music, a little french music, etc.
@Hank, OK go on then.
my room was always a mess, but I still knew exactly where everything was.
Isn't Rita there?
(We have no way to find out because there is no list)
I could see the Rankins making the top 20.
Thanks! I'm outta here... until tomorrow people of the blog!
Oh hi, folks!
They should make this 100 Greatest list an actual list. In list form. That would be great.
Can't believe Tomorrow People of the Blog isn't on the list!
Hi Craly! How was Ness? You looked like you were having a GREAT time in that one photo you posted.
@jdurley #341, How do you know my room is a mess?
@garf - because I break in there at night and watch you sleep. No, wait, that's Tom Hiddleston's house. And it's pristine.
Good afternoon everyone!
it's a boy
Just checked the OR.
Not on the list so far.
best Van folk fest moments - Kathleen Edwards calling some guy laying in front the the stage - referring to him as "Urine McSockey"
The Waterboys & Steve Earl & the Dukes!!! AMAZING!!
@tmo - Overall it was pretty great! Lots of fun was had. Sunday morning though, not to awesome. We had torrential rains on Saturday night and our tent was no match for the downpour. We slept in my car...... well I didn't sleep at all, hence the unhappy Ness!
Also, if one more person had said "Happy Ness" to me, I was probably going to punch them in the face. Oh Happy Ness!
@jdurley #354, Cool, can you bring some Timbits and the Globe & Mail next time please. You do know it would be cheaper to install cameras right.
*best moment of home county
the family workshop with the sadies/good brothers was crazy wicked good.
they had an elderly fangirl who got up on stage and danced.
@Kirk - festival moment - when Del Barber's Dad stood up in the crowd and cheered for him. "the guy with the tattoos - that's my dad"
@Carrieg #355, I had hoped you meant baby Lawrence.
@garf - lol, nope
Best Ness Creek moment - A crazy hippie couple insisting on a group hug in hopes that my "amazing energy" would fill them with joy and happiness. It was so beautiful......or something....
But seriously, Elliott Brood was outstanding, as always! Definitely a highlight for me.
Fresh Pots!
I've got one.
Re: hippie hugs for your amazing energy.
Do you get that a lot?
remember the Steve Adamyk Band and they had a song "Wait For Your Number" that people were wishing was playlistable back when it was in rotation this past winter? Maybe that was just me wishing it was playlistable. Anywho, it is now. And so are a bunch of other songs on their page.
I hate when Hippies try to steal my sunshine
I got a Mo Kenney hug!
@SRK - did Royal Wood like his nick name?
Did Grant join in?
@binsy, 356 - So... you like it so far?
@carly - 358 - haha, Im glad your Ness was mostly Happy and that you found some hippy love. Or dished some out I should say.
@flannel tom
Thanks for not leaving me hanging there.
@binsy - hahaha sadly no!
I always wondered how hippies got their powers. Now I know.
Oh whoops. Guess not.
@binsy - lol - she had a bodyguard.
she's adorable and crazy ass good!
@carrieg - I plan on making him hold up a sex vest sign so i could get a picture. He was too nice to put on the spot like that. I let him be.
Royal Wood can't get overzealous and put his nickname on T-shirts and such. I wouldn't want him ruining the reputation of a certain bar with the same name.
Is Blue Rodeo missing from the list so far?
I am pretty excited for Calgary Folk Fest this weekend! Alabama Shakes on Thursday!!!!!
or doug and the slugs, spirit of the west or the northern pikes?
#380 - yes, and if they don't show up in the top 20 (5 days in July, I'm expecting you!) there will be BLOOD.
my brain, just now:
"This isn't music, what is this?!"
"Oh, Colin Stetson, of course"
planned not plan.
@Carly: I couldn't get tickets to Interstellar Rodeo for Friday so I'm missing Alabama Shakes.
Also giving serious thought to bailing on that wedding.
I should get into the Hammock business.
as with Polaris, i don't care much about the list, but i'm sure enjoying the discussion it has stimulated ..
Or Stompin Tom? or Hank Snow?
@m_c - as a tester?
@Smallie - You should bail on the wedding. It sounds lame.
i can make hammocks anad hammock chairs, can you handle the business end of things?
Have we seen Gordon Lightfoot on there yet?
hammocks are pretty much the best things ever!
@Carly: I'd feel super guilty and don't want to risk the friendship but I have so many things to do to go all the way there and hangout by myself for the better part of the day!
Uhhh...who is this new guest host? (I know her name, but who is she?)
hammocks are pretty much the best things ever!
@smallie - I once faked a migraine to get out of a wedding.
Stompin Tom and Hank Snow haven't appeared yet, but that's top 20 fodder for sure.
Spirit of the West was there I think but it wasn't Save this House it was the "Venice is Sinking" album. Again, there's no way to check sadly.
What aboot Colin James?
@Smallie - who needs friends anyway??
Hammocks are my way of knowing whether I'm living right. If I'm in one, I am.
Gordon Lightfoot has appeared. It was the one called Lightfoot I think.
Islands are SO CLOSE to being amazing.
you need to get backup hammocks going in your vehicle trunk (if you don't already)
spontaneous hammocking is great.
@SRK -he was here for VFF last year, he seemed so serious....really kept his band in check the whole time.
When he played Jazz fest a few weeks ago, he was way more relaxed, and seemed to have much more fun.
He just looks so nice and polite!
I do. It is.
Go Figure is the Spirit West album that has D for Democracy (Scoure the House).
It would be in my top 30 at least.
@Jdurley: I feel like I don't need to fake anything, although I've been told my excuses aren't adequate.
@Carly: I blame you for this. Blame Carly.
@jdurley #383 - agreed!! that's a great one.
I'm really looking forward to seeing them when they come for our blues & roots fest in August.
Oh yeah...Save this House.....now i remember that one.
When they post the top 20 I am hoping everyone will post their personal top 5.
@Lee #396, She is an associate producer for CBC Music.
That's a good idea, Mr. Binsy.
Although it's a pretty tough thing to do.
Really tough! I was kept awake for hours one night last week trying to come up with mine.
I always hear myself saying things like "oh yeah, that's in my top 5."
The problem is though, I've said that about 200 albums.
@Garf - Thanks. And the reason that she's filling in for Grant is . . . ? I'm not being critical, I'm just asking. Grant is the top voice at Radio3. Certainly there should be someone of similar drawing power to sub for him.
SRK - two guys we were sharing a table with in the beer tent yesterday were in town from Guelph & one from KW.
my landlords bought a new fridge for my suite (after I gave notice...) One of the delivery guys is fasting for Ramadan and it has been in the high 20s / low 30s for most of the month.
When my landlord asks if he gets dizzy carrying fridges up stairs, he said 'no, just angry.'
Also, I spent my lunch break moving fridges and now I am angry.
@carrieg - diehards!
good idea.
i always think I should and then get overwhelmed.
I don't think the majority will be r3 material if we keep it to top 5 can. albums

I'm waiting for my paperwork to be submitted to the insurance company and then my approval letter. I hope to be sleeved this month.

I did a search in the forum for this and I found a thread that seemed to indicate that it is available within Zimbra. First let me explain what I need to do. We will be getting a very large list of contacts ( a dump from an exchange server ). These will not be (at least we do not want them to be) accounts in Zimbra. However we need to have the addresses in this list be part of the global address list.
How do I go about including these contacts?
One approach I thought of was to simple create a new user, add all of these as contacts for that user and then share the contacts with the GAL.
PS I would rather script this as there will be a lot of entries to add. thanks

Tagline: In a place that defied belief their only hope was each other.
Synopsis: Four women are given into the custody of the Magdalene sisterhood asylum to correct their sinful behavior: Crispina and Rose have given birth to a premarital child, Margaret got raped by her cousin and the orphan Bernadette had been repeatedly caught flirting with the boys. All have to work in a laundry under the strict supervision of the nuns, who break their wills through sadistic punishment.
If you're going to tell a heart-warming story about a sweet, wronged little old lady, it helps -- even if she is played by Judi Dench -- to have a hard-nosed, mordantly witty, cynical journliast along to offset the sugar quotient. That is the brilliant strategy behind Philomena, the fact-based story...Read More »

8 weeks and spotting
I am 8 weeks pregnant today and I woke up this morning to a pinkish discharge when I wiped. Today would have been the first day of my menstrual cycle. Has anyone had this experience before? Thanks!!

I had spotting off and on until the end of the first trimester. Your uterus is very easily irritated. I bled after sex, and at a check up when i thought maybe i had a yeast infection. All the doctor did was tap it and it started bleeding. Every time I would bleed gave me a heartattack, but my family kept telling me as long as I wasnt in paid I was ok.posted 07/15/2013 by Waldey

Well the penguins and polar bears were out in full force last night as Cults U13's took to the field at Gordon Park Ellon on a baltic summer's(?) night.
Cults won the toss and elected to bat. With the outfield damp and the ball not travelling far off the bat, the scoring was slow and extras were the clear leader on the scoreboard. Cults managed to score 43 for 2 in their reduced 16 overs, with P Moon top scoring with 5. The Cults innings was peppered with retirees in order that all players had a reasonable time at the crease.
Cults bowled well on the night but couldn't prevent the home team from reaching their target off 11 overs, with the loss of two wickets, A Cormack taking both wickets in the same over. Contributions with the bat for Ellon-Fraserburgh from C Dalgarno and MTremaine.
Players, scorers and umpires (suitably dressed in arctic gear (well some were)) retired to the pavilion post match for a much needed cup of tea.
Cults – 43-2 (P Moon 5)
Ellon-Fraserburgh – 44-2 (C Dalgarno 11, M Tremaine 9, A Cormack 2-12)

no, Im good with J'onn.
I have only been exposed to the character in the Young Justice show so purely based off of my (lack of) experience with the character, I would say...HELL NAW! Between the mind-raping, her lack of morals, the cold-hearted way in which she treats Superboy and her annoying ass new boyfriend McFishy Face Lagoon Lad or whatever the hell he's called...I have no use for her.
@SUNMAN said:
no. MM is okay when written correctly, but no Miss Martian for me.
I use to enjoy her character, but the Young Justice cartoon has made her wholly unlikeable to the point I think she works better as a villain.
She should become MM's arch nemesis.

Absolutely not.
Teen Titan. Or maybe she should join the Ravagers, and make that book interesting.
@SUNMAN: I had no clue the cartoon could have that effect on you. That is hilarious. I also hate how she is portrayed in the cartoon. Shame, shame.
@Twentyfive: well that is just my opinion. The effect would be the same with reading or viewing a comic or any other fictitious work. I didn't really care for her character in the first season but I thought she showed some progressing into becoming a worthwhile character near the end. However, I was wrong I dislike her even more in season 2. but hey that's just me. I mean as long as we are talking about comics/superheros here. In the grand scheme of important things it obviously doesn't really matter but as far as message board discussions go yeah this is how I feel.
@SUNMAN: Damn. Sorry. I worded that horribly. I didn't mean that something is wrong with you. I meant with respect to the martian, I didn't think that the cartoon would make anyone wish she would be a villain. I know you don't take the cartoon seriously, don't even worry about that. I apologize.
@Twentyfive: lol dude you don't need to apologize. I didn't think you meant anything malicious or negative towards me in your post. You have nothing to apologize for, I was just trying to explain my thought process.
After watching the show I just felt she would be better utilized as a villain. She has trouble connecting with humanity on a lot of levels and how she regularly lobotomizes her enemies it just seemed like natural progression for the character.
Now I don't think DC will make her a villain and fans might revolt if they did, but I think it would be a good move if written well.

Rocklin advances to semifinals with win over El Camino
With a 77-65 win over visiting El Camino Friday night, the Rocklin varsity boys basketball team advances to the semifinals of the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division II Playoffs.
The Thunder hosted their second-consecutive home game after No.18 ranked El Camino defeated No.2 ranked St. Mary's Wednesday night.
Taylor Cherry led the Thunder with 19 points, shooting 4-for-6 in the second half. Moss successfully made eight-consecutive free throws to ice the game, finishing with 15 points.
After trailing by one point at the end of the first period, Rocklin outscored the Eagles 22-9 in the second.
After the break, El Camino's Dallen Eddenfield went on a scoring streak, draining a trio of treys in a four minute span. But the Thunder cut any momentum the Eagles gained with a10-0 run to end the third period.
Rocklin maintained their lead and will advance to play on Wednesday, Feb. 27, against either No.3 Antelope or No.6 Burbank.
After the game, Cherry spoke about his team's win and the road ahead.
"We like our chances a lot," said Cherry. "We got a good team; we're getting close to our goal."

Notable CDs
Notable CDs | Four new or recent classical CDs reviewed by Arsenio Orteza
Beyond the Horizon
Style: The subtitle: New Music for Euphonium and Piano; the music of six little-known contemporary composers performed by Frey and his accompanists, the pianist Paula Peace and the former Canadian Brass trumpeter Fred Mills.
Worldview: "I hope you enjoy the fruits of my labor and see where the euphonium can take you-from the energetic feeling of [Derek] Bourgeois, to the relaxing moods of Japan, to the Scottish countryside and back to America" (Frey's liner notes).
Overall quality: Challenging but not daunting; an artfully manipulated aural prism.
Edward MacDowell/Clara Schumann
Style: Edward MacDowell's Piano Concerto No. 2 in D Minor, Op. 23, and Clara Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 7, as performed by Moyer and two midi-enhanced and/or generated orchestras.
Worldview: That since the Schumann is the "single finest concerto by a female composer in the Romantic era" and the MacDowell the "finest concerto by an American in this period," the pieces merit and benefit from being juxtaposed.
Overall quality: The MIDI marvels aside, a winsome introduction to MacDowell, whose compositions remain too little known.
Ja Kyung Oh Plays the Yokota-GOArt Organ
Style: Buxtehude, Bach, Krebs, Mozart, and Mendelssohn performed on an organ "especially modeled . . . after an example of [Arp] Schnitger's in Charlottenburg [Berlin]."
Worldview: That when left to its own devices-the performing, for instance, in South Korea of music composed in Germany on an organ built by the Sweden-based Munetaka Yokata-multiculturalism, as the bumper stickers say, happens.
Overall quality: Given the principals, one expects an Oriental "take" on the Occidental; what one gets (especially in Mozart's "Andante in F, KV 616") transcends all expectations.
Style: Fifteen compositions for piano (Tsabropoulos), violoncello (Lechner), and percussion (Gandhi) that sound like their titles ("Gift of Dreams," "Reflections and Shadows").
Worldview: Ostensibly that of Gurdjieff-a kind of early-20th-century Deepak Chopra but with musical rather than medical expertise-whose "Tibetan Dance," "Sayyid Dance," and "Reading from a Sacred Book" function as lynchpins for the dozen by Tsabropoulos.
Overall quality: One needn't endorse the teachings of Gurdjieff to enjoy the mesmerizing scintillations of these pieces.
In the liner notes to his CD Edward MacDowell/Clara Schumann (JRI), the pianist Frederick Moyer writes, "While this recording can . . . be enjoyed on its musical merits alone, there are other dimensions worth noting"-so worth noting, apparently, that they inspired the CD's rather tantalizing subtitle: 19th-Century Romanticism Meets 21st-Century Technology. "First," writes Moyer, "I have never performed with the Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra [co-credited on the MacDowell]. "And second, the orchestra that 'plays' the Clara Schumann concerto never existed."
It turns out that, with the assistance of the "midi artist9 D Dan Kury, Moyer assembled his performances (and, in the case of his Schumann performance, the entire orchestra) using the very latest in computer-based sampling technology. Ironically, the "sleight-of-ear" magic is so well done that, had Moyer not pointed it out, no one would've noticed, and, now that he has, one finds himself attending as much to the details of the digital recreation as to the details of Moyer's playing.

A teenager who pleaded guilty in a deadly school shooting rampage faces up to life in prison at his sentencing in northeast Ohio on Tuesday.
Victims of 18-year-old T.J. Lane and relatives of the murdered victims will have a chance to address the sentencing judge in Chardon on his guilty plea to killing three students and wounding three more.
The shootings occurred 13 months ago at Chardon High School. Lane was in the school cafeteria waiting for a bus to his alternative school.
No clear motive has been detailed.
The hearing before Judge David Fuhry (FYOOR'-ee) will offer families their first public chance to describe the pain inflicted by the shootings.
