Breaking news....shitloads of INXS about to be play on Canadian radio

[HEyHEY]

I guess they count as CAN CON now

[Systematic Chaos]

1. Ehm... what?

Didn't those guys reform or something, with a new lead singer?

[Seansky]

2. Funny!

3. Banner night for Canadian Radio.

First HEyHEy, now this.

And on a related note, a friend who's getting her doctorate in philosophy at McGill announced tonight that she's got a monthly radio spot to combine poetry and politics.

I tried to persuade her to try to fuse the hot/cold global village smiling dystopian sensibilities of Marshall McLuhan with the later radio experimentation of Glenn Gould to come up with some sort of hip now/yesterday thing involving the accelerating rape of Canada by multi-national energy interests. Gave her your name to google, even.

But I think she'd rather do something else with the time. She's half Inuit, after all. And boy, what a looker.

4. I've always thought

that Canadians had a sadistic sense of humour, and this proves it.

I guess I shoulda known by the bear and the penguin hmmm?

Now go and tell that guy that all students at Simon Fraser do not commit suicide before you worry him to death! :7

5. Talk about the all-Canadian boy...

He looks exactly like...Michael fuckin' Bublé????

All round, it was a pretty decent show though. Beat the hell outa' watching those "idol" shows for tweenies. At least ALL of these dudes (and dudettes in the earlier shows) had some real talent. I actually thought they were all pretty good. And, if this show was actually on the level (ie. not a stunt) it must have been VERY hard for the band to have to replace Hutchence. They've all been together since grade school...

On edit: But HeyHey was right on that other thread...pretty lame; they're gonna end up with a house gig at that burger joint in Vegas. The one with guitars on the wall. (Are those still around?)

6. It was cool, but I wanted Rasta woman to win

she's been off for awhile now
