Too bad this was not out for Canada Day! http://www.theweakerthans.org/audiovisual/...tournament.html 'Now the lounge is full of farmers For the 7:30 draw Teammates left before they'd have to buy a round'

That's really good news and hope it starts a trend of good comic based TV series. Ie, I would love some Brit adaptation of Miracleman.

cool - have fun! also on to this gaslight anthem cd - I like it.

have to listen to the above. catching up mode:

Can't wait until this gets remade:

Elliott BROOD - Without Again Road divides ahead He's wide awake in bed However suspicious that this is happening to him again His love went south And he'll go west A mountain of song could not fill the hole in his chest She left when he said he was like the rest So get up, get out What are you down about Put it back on the shelf Just have to go without again So get up, get out What are you down about Put it back on the shelf Just have to go without again Road divides ahead He's wide awake in bed Put it back on the shelf Just have to go

Well, I'll write it down for you Bitter tea bitter tune bitter you Well you sow what you sow what you say Still you kill what you can

Looks like these guys are supporting Calexico on their fall UK tour. Very Sufjan Stevens sounding.

late to the party on Royal Wood. This is good.

I have not. Going to grab the Everest one before heading out on vacation.

So I bought Jon Krakauer's 'Under the Banner of Heaven' to try to understand the context of Mountain Meadows, and since I'm reading more non-fiction than fiction these days, it really fits in with the summer reading list. Hollee crap, I'm 5 chapters in and already 100 or so people have died violently in the first decade of the LDS. Between this book, that jack mormon Corb Lund, the Elliott Brood cd and becoming hooked on the first season of Big Love, I'm really tempted to become a wool undergarment wearing sister-wife.

I tend to agree. Still digesting this cause unless my mp3s are very screwed up, 5 of the songs are 20+ minutes long. Strange. Wish he would make another I Break Chairs or Where Shall you take me. Not that I've made it all the way through the new one, but I don't even hear 1 standout track - like Denton was on his last cd.

I really love both the previous release - Ambassador and the 1st EP - Tintype. There are some video samples here that sum everything up: http://www.elliottbrood.ca/Video.html When I first first heard them, I immediately thought of a satanist 16 horsepower, and the first two releases are kind of like that - less feedback, but still the same screetching voice over banjos and acoustic guitars. I still believe that Ambassador is about growing up in Windsor Ontario and the long history of rum-running across the Detroit River. Probably wrong though. Mountain Meadows is kinda like watchin

oh sorry rich, I'm slow on the uptake and should have sent it over. So thanks to whoever did. I expect TLOBF to go further into 'all Canadian' mode.

will quinlan and the diviners - Navasota this is great... so far.

sorry, don't know the US release date. I asked and I don't think they have anything scheduled.

In Oz, he's a rock-star, responsible for a couple of the best Aussie (scratch that, anywhere in the world) records of all time. Here, he plays Monday nights in Ft Wayne to 25 people, yet he is literally Paul Westerberg, Ray Davies, and Ronnie Lane all wrapped into one substance abusing enigma.

Thanks for the info Wendy. I know you told me the connection to Ft. Wayne, but I had forgotten and it was nice to hear the story.

it is. Am I guilty of a repost? BTW, one of my friends was yet again on the silver age trivia panel at Chicago con. He picked up a great Bisette drawing of Swampy battling Ertigan too:
