Hey ho! I saw/heard The Get Alongs at Targ's last week or so, and they are FABULOUS! A bit like watching earlyish Stones, or The Black Crowes (sort of, no close comparison intended). I'd gone to hear Out By Lucy, which I want to hear again, but The Get Alongs really turned my crank. Great lead singer, outstanding lead guitar, among the four.

Very nice selection of tunes, incidentally. Yay for The Weakerthans!

One in three: probably Kevin Drew, but don't know the third. BSS and 'himself' are fairly obvious...

Ding ding ding, winner gagnon!!! Kevin Drew helped out on Gord Downie's album Secret Path... working on the instrumentation while Gord did his good ol' beautiful poetry

Nice, 'older' Gord Downie song. (Older him, not the song)

The Get Alongs are wicked to see live. So much energy and a great feeling. Out By Lucy is just as wicked to listen to in person!!!

Secret Path is a devastatingly beautiful work of his. What a powerful book and collection of music.

There are times when I think: We're DAMNED lucky we're not the United States, or in it. Like when I hear many of the singers and players you have here today. Not that similar people doesn't exist in the US, they do; but many are repressed by money, bigness and the money system (not to forget politics!).

The gradual change in Gord Downie from an initially-sarcastically somewhat hard-edge male, through classic, Canadian history times, through later poetry, to his final version (Secret Path, the Last Concert), is nothing short of remarkable.

(See what this fine music is making me think?) ;-s)

This lead singer (Nap Eyes) sounds a little like Shotgun Jimmie (a favourite of mine)

Coke Machine Glow is grand!

These days, the song Canada Geese would be enough to get Gord barred from entering the US! To Alligator Alcatraz with you!
