I know this sounds SUPER lame, but my cousin talked to Nels at the show last weekend in Buffalo and he said they are playing two shows at massey hall (toronto) this fall, probably October.

Evil Urges is definitely flawed. And it all goes down to personal taste. I just always thought it got a worse rep then it deserves.

Yeah I agree with you there. Message board rule #1 - Never go up against Solace. You WILL have your ass handed to you.

I love Evil Urges. I love all of their albums, I just don't feel the need to catalogue them by order of excellence. (nothing wrong with that, it's just not necessary for me) So I see no downward spiral in album quality. But I think we can all agree studio albums aside, the band in itself has grown tremendously over the years. They have developped into a force of rock that cannot be stopped.

I have the Mxr carbon copy. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a digital delay, but you will not find a digital delay that sounds this good. It is so warm. I can get amazing 'classic rock' leads with this pedal.

I don't remember the exact details, but wasn't there an interview with M. Ward like a month or two where he said he was hoping to record with the other guys at the end of the year?? I really don't think this is legit.

YES!

I'm busy at work, so im just quickly jotting down things as i think of them. Old Montreal is beautiful. Also, I highly suggest pub st elizabeth. It has a great, lively outdoor patio. They have a website, I believe if you google it.

Gotcha. Then in that case, I won't tell you that smoked meat sandwiches at Schwartz's is a must....

Oh man, you are in for a treat! Montreal is an amazing city. I will try to write a bunch of suggestions later when I have more time, but for now I will say this - go to old montreal, and go to the steak house gibby's, and have one of the best steaks you will ever eat. hit up some of the bars on crescent, and st catherines street.

Ever since Pfork gave Hold Time a 6.8, I haven't really paid attention to their reviews!

I really hope Boston ties the series. I hate Carolina so much, though I do like Maurice.

Michael Ryder is a SUPER nice guy and very approachable. I have met him twice, and he was always really friendly. I am really glad he is having another great year. Where I am from (canadian east coast) EVERYONE loves that guy.

I understand myspace can be good for small, up and coming bands, but holy crap do i hate myspace.

Boston had the better team, plain and simple. Montreal not having their best players, and their second half of the season implosion did not help either. Most Boston fans surely realize they had even more of an advantage this series knowing they were facing a Montreal team that was not playing to their potential the last couple of months... Boston deserved to win. And most people knew they would. Even then, it's weird, but Boston still doesn't really get the credit they deserve this year. They have a great team. I'm just happy Montreal played hard, despite the disadvantage they had.

Nice! Glad you had a good time. I was just happy it was a relatively close game. I've told myself I am going to try and enjoy this series as much as possible, no matter what happens. Cam Neely is awesome. I love that good ol' Canadian boy.

Obviously I am not happy the habs lost, but that was a hell of a game! Very entertaining. Could have gone either way. it's going to be a good series. I just don't want to see anyone get hurt. Was really disappointed to see Kosto throw out his elbow like that...

I'm gonna poop my pants!

I think he will

If Montreal had Markov in the lineup, and if everyone on the team were playing to their potential - I would like Montreal's chances against Boston. But honestly, with all that Montreal has gone through in the last couple of months, and without Markov, the habs don't have much of a chance. It will definitely be a pretty exciting series though, without a doubt.

Predictions: East -Boston in 6 -Caps in 6 -New Jersey in 6 -Philly in 7 West -San Jose in 5 -Detroit in 5 -Vancouver in 7 -Chicago in 5

I like lifted as well, sure not every song is top notch, but I prefer it over some of his newer material.

Some other great Canadian acts to include with the stuff mentioned previously: Joel Plaskett/Thrush hermit eric's trip/julie doiron Sloan (the older stuff) Hayden Arcade Fire

I feel really bad for Taylor Pyatt right now. That's horrible. The Canucks organization has experienced too much tragedy in recent years...
