I don't know if Solace would say this or not but I sure as hell will. If you pre-order through this link http://www.arcadefire.net/ you will be helping to support Us Kids Know, the Arcade Fire fan site he runs. So you should - I know I have

At approximately 7:00AM, on January 12, 2000 a Northbound Super-B-Train truck hauling diesel fuel crashed through the Mackenzie River ice crossing near Fort Providence. Both fuel tanks and the cab of the truck were left partially in the water and on the ice. The driver was treated for hypothermia at the nearby Fort Providence nursing station. The ice crossing had been open to light traffic only, up to a maximum of 4,000kg, (8,800 lbs) when the 60,000kg (132,000 lbs) + truck went through the ice. The crossing was immediately closed. Spill-response crews pumped the fuel out of the stranded ta

It can't be THAT cold - the lake isn't even frozen. But yeah, all that ice - it really sends a shiver. Reminds me that I lived in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories for 12 years. In the coldest months of the winter, vehicles cross the Mackenzie River by an ice road/ice bridge. I couldn't find any great pictures of "normal" traffic but here's a guy who didn't make it, closer to spring I suspect: I learned while living there that the farenheit and celcius scales overlap at -40. A pretty remarkable place that more people should see (but mostly in the summer)

I found a copy with the bonus disc for $6 used.

The new one is spectacular. Hence, from my best of 2006 list:

You might be interested to know I'm seriously thinking about subscribing to The Beaver...... really

My wife - she insists on the Ottawa Journal which I usuall find disappointing We get the Globe and Mail on Saturdays and also receive Vanity Fair, Macleans, and Canadian Living.

err, maybe not really heckled so much but people calling out for Johnny Cash songs and people calling out for Wilco and people calling out the things they call out when they're drunken idiots

She was an absolute trooper that day. She came on at a time of day when many people had been sitting in the hot sun for a long time and many of them had had a lot to drink. On the other hand, it was still quiet enough that she could clearly hear their shouts/heckles. She was a pro (and it was a spectacular Wilco show so she's right about that too).

That was the national championship? I kept waiting for a game to break out but gave up about 11:30.

yeah, me too. PM me with a email address if you need one

I was thinking yesterday that Kevin Rowland and Dexy's never got the love they deserved.

OK, given the $7k, this should be on my list too (I do have a copy). I also have a still-sealed copy of "Armed Forces" with the "Live at Hollywood High" single and the real Elvis at the El Mocambo album (only 500, promo only)

"Quadrophenia" with the book "My Aim is True" - signed "Born to Run" - just a typical version but love that jacket (not to mention the jacket)

No luck here. All three nights (and 3 night VIP passes) sold out

Ooops. Sorry

Wow.... All 3 nights would be fun but I would love to see a night of him focusing on The Jam. Roadtrip?

from the Days Of Our Lives update for November 16: Meanwhile, Marlena awakens in a luxurious cabin in the middle of nowhere. She is frightened by the sight of a man in a furry coat and hat standing over her with an ax. She threatens the man -- until he removes his hat, and we see it is Smokey Robinson! Smokey cares for Marlena and, eventually, sends an email to the Salem P.D. with Marlena's whereabouts. John takes the first plane out and is reunited with Marlena. They dance romantically as Smokey sings to them.

Leno: Your film has created a lot of controversy. What do you say to people who say your film is homophobic and anti-semitic? Borat: Thank you very much.

Ottawa (technically Kanata), Novemeber 15 Totally indifferent to audience for pretty much the entire show. The other thing that I hadn't really ever seen before was that the entire band was set up about 40 feet or so back from the front of the stage. There was a mike stand front stage centre but he never took it. Played keyboards all night. The other players who are, as other posters have already pointed out, just out of this world great, pretty much never take their eyes off him. He's not a band leader like James Brown but all the cues come from him. He grinned during "Ballad of a Thi

When I was up on stage in Ottawa (with about 25 of my new best friends), they let me take a beer out of a big bucket-o-beer. That was a first for me..

They should lay off - I can send you something too if you'd like.
