Ordinary Day

Doncha just love the entire picture here of them all hanging out futzing with each other's instruments and suddenly OH LOOK HEY HOW'D THIS ALBUM HAPPEN ANYWAY? ALAN? Were you recording again? ;)

New album soon new album soon new album soon *vertical movement!*

From:

'kay, ya has me totally convinced, too.

and of course you do know the name of the capital of Newf and Labrador?

Fort McMurray, of course!

Angharad,
from the opposite Big Rock, but very very fond of screech and cod tongues, all the same!

From:

*beam* One of these days I WILL go to Newfoundland, and I WILL try screech. It's REQUIRED.

From:

long time ago, and far away, in a past incarnation, I worked on the Hibernia oil development offshore of Newf.... as said, "long time ago". The Newfs I met (and occasionally kept house with, and even once had a glorious dalliance with) were all very nice people indeed, fully up to the standards of Salishaan in all regards. ^_6

enjoy your weekend! I'm headed off to Brier and points southward, for fun, games, adventures and at least one cuppa really decent coffee.

From:

My weekend has music queued up on Sunday, which will not suck. And hopefully, productive editing as well! Enjoy your excursion. :)

From:

Oh, count on the weekend being enjoyable, and I'll wave as I whiz by on the lake road (St Vinnie's thrift shop is definitely on my trade route this weekend, as well as the Goodwill outlet store, which is where most of my clothing finds are, umm, found).

From:

Cool, may your thrift shop hunting be fruitful. :)

From:

Fruit I rather doubt I will find, but I am on the prowl for more pillow-cases in broderie anglaise or other white lacework, and new curtains, plus the endless need for cheap furniture-grade wood (I take things apart if they are cheap and have good wood, and then rework them). My trips to Sea Atoll as much as anything are about scavenging amongst the leavings of consumerist society, and amazing the Customs agents with what I have managed to find.

Dancing the Maypole is, of course, a secondary attraction, but likely to have delightful consequences. ^_^

Music Sunday -- yours, with suitable pie of course?

From:

Oh my yes, there will be pie. And it will be tasty!

Also, two thumbs up for surprising Customs. ^_^

From:

Had I not already been overbooked, I'd be tempted on the general theory that there'd be something I could play lying about; or if all else fails, sing, being the veritable queen of winging it on the fly.

However, Saturday night is May-dancing, and Sunday night is, umm, horizontality with somebody nice. And Monday, dreadful Monday, is back to the grind of the cesium mines...... the things that we do for money, ne?

From:

I've had Screech! :D It is very yummy. Not bad on it's own, but I like it even better with Coke (which is probably blasphemy to the natives, but oh, well! lol)

From:

Hee, duly noted! ^_^

They've got another song up in the media player, too – Love Me Tonight.
The tune reminds me a lot of some songwriter, but the name isn't coming... Anyway, better than Walk On The Moon (that is, less produced and electronic).

From:

Oh cool! I didn't check the player yet since I have the sound turned off on this machine at work, and I try not to play streaming content from work anyway. But I'll definitely check this when I get home.

I especially like the fact that no one would own up to the Casio keyboard part. ;)

From:

*chortle* Yeah! ^_^

I just love the entire mental image that paragraph brings to mind, of a bunch of people messing around in the studio and OH WAIT HEY HOW'D THIS ALBUM HAPPEN anyway? Kinda like MurkJam, only with a fanbase, and without pie!

From:

gerimaple.livejournal.com

no pie, but probably a more plentiful supply of ... *ahem* adult beverages ;)

From:

Yeah, there's a distinct lack of beer around the MurkJam, though we have been known to have occasional port! Because mmmmmm pumpkin pie + chocolate sauce + port mmmmmmmm.

Fortune's Favor - good Canadian boys with degrees in English lit didn't really mis-spell it like that, did they???!?? *cringes while opening a new tab with their new website*

ETA: oh thank GODS - they DID spell it properly :)

Edited Date: 2008-05-03 12:12 am (UTC)

From:

...... no, they've got the u in there! Hee, you can blame the spelling on my non-Canadian fingers. ;)

From:

gerimaple.livejournal.com

I don't have to blame you, because you 'fessed up :) However, said non-Canadian fingers spell all sorts of other words correctly and string them together in quite interesting ways. So you're forgiven *giggles and grins*

From:

Why thank you. *bows* :)

From:

LOL!! I had missed the liner notes. Didn't have a lot of time to explore the new site, but it looks very, very cool. Especially looking forward to hearing from Tosh :D

Have you checked out the studio/video set vids on canada.com? If you've missed the hilarity of watching Sean try to entertain himself while the others work, you must check it out. Let me just say, I'll never use a vice grips again and not think of the b'y ;D

From:

I started watching some of those vids last night, yeah, but had to tear myself away to at least TRY to do some editing. But I found the bit with the vice grips. Muaha! ;>

Also, ALAN DOYLE AND SEAN MCCANN, do you kiss your mothers with those mouths? Hee!

From:

Apparently Sean has had that mouth since birth (read the new bios on the site!) LOL

The best part about the vice grips moment? My connection chose that very moment to hiccup and the video froze on the close-up of his crotch with the tool hanging from it. I had to stare at that until things caught up, probably a sold 30 or 40 seconds. Still can't decide if that was a hardship or not :D

From:

*LAUGH* Oh darn--staring at Sean's pride and joy for 40 whole seconds? However DID you manage? ;>

From:

It was a trial, let me assure you ;D So much so that I'm tempted to watch it again to see if that...horrible glitch happens again! LOL
