September 24 2008 re-cap

I remember thinking about this post on the weekend shortly after swimming in the frigid ocean on Saturday morning... it was looking to be a dog of a blogaroo with me going on some self pitying tangent about how i felt bad last week. Let's fuck that shit because one of the things i felt bad about was being ill prepared for a wedding on the weekend... but i made up for it by getting totally smashed at the open bar.

Now where was i.

My man Shawn Killaly came out last week and put on a percussion clinic:



I never even got to share wisdom with super steve, and i missed the great action from the bands after the supper show which i believe my man Alvaro Rojas was playing in two of them... and i missed it because i was unprepared as usual.



Having internet browser problems as i write this blogaroo all the videos are here http://www.youtube.com/user/CanadaLynxRecords

another one for Super Steve

Super Steve likes the backwards Blog:

2:30 AM SR gets home
2:00 am SR and Simian Special part ways on Broadway outside Gigi's Pizza
1:50 am Sim refuses to let SR buy the Pizza
1:30 am Sim whips out a copy of "Simian Special- The cougar stands it's ground" and gives it to the waitress but not before pointing out a photograph in the liner notes taken at Gigi's.
sometime earlier Sim and Super start hitting a perfectly done pepperoni and mushroom pizza and suck back a couple of Canadian beers.

even before that- we exit the Anza Club after going to a show that was apparently titled "Dick Stump"... a dual CD release party for the bands the whiskey dicks and the Family Stump.

during the show- i make like Super Steve and hurl insults at the band and at one point (unlike Super steve) play the doctor in a song called "Have you seen my taint".

10:15 Simian Special and SR leave the Railway Club and Hail a cab across town to the Anza Club.

8:31 Pm bass player Alvaro Rojas goes over the state of his musical career noting that he just did a show with a Gay puppet

8:25 PM uncle Stan the puppet, official comes out of the closet and admits that yes he IS a Gay Puppet

8:15 pM The lovely and talented Land Of Deborah comes on stage to sing Blue skies with 21 Tandem Repeats

8:00 pm we do a song called the "Shockey Stan" which is essentially a "doom jam" version of an incompleted song called the shockey shock.


7:50 pm Uncle Stan answers the questions for the song Hey Rock's living room

7:45 pm Nick tries a new DI

7:37 pm we play the song jupiter

7:32 pm we open the show with "Never wanted to be anyone"

7:28 Pm still no Super Steve... the band gets together and decides to carry on none the less (the vote is not unanimous)

OK... just for reference we have the Curtain pull to beat for the gold medal... in the Men's tandem pull 2008

this is a curtain pull that could easily be beat... you can see the pullers getting in frame and there is a slight mix-up on when the curtain pull is to start. this team really made up for it with an excellent "curtain seal" however. Now i don't want to come down too hard on a fine curtain pull but i think when we see the Russian, Chinese and King Dinosaur teams, with their technical perfection we might see the scores up a bit.

Genny Trigo put on 7 song clinic



21 tandem repeats it Mr. Greenie



Uncle Stan had some ideas:



Everybody got in on "Fuse lit bombs":



and we finished with "Wishing machine":

What happened last week

Super Robertson, Alvaro Rojas and Simian Special represented for the full show... well most of it and if i could find out how to spell the drummer who finished the show's last name i would tell you. given that i have lost a half an hour already i am going to give the fuck up for now. Shit now a baby is crying...

We did a version of Samson and Delilah:



as a result of this process i caught a mean version from some guy named Charlie Parr



Check out the song 1922...

Back to the supper show:

We made up a song for Michelle Pollard that went off the rails lyrically when the fictitious side burned man and the fictitious moustache man turned out to be a couple of homo's and then the ad lib author rescinded that realizing that that is not "appropriate" kind of material and re-labeled them bi-sexual. Let's not post a link to that one.

working on this one... it would apply to... say if there were a group of humans that new better but it wasn't to their immediate economic advantage to listen:



and a finished number that needs to meet a capo:



Oh yea we spanked a mean WASTELAND... and old Knockin' Dog number written by the Rev D Badcock.

well well

I was culling videos the other day and came across this one.



not too bad. i remember doing that one as i had talked to Smash a few days before and through our conversation i was reminded to push the grand slam elements of the supper show (it's free, good eats at reasonable prices, it's free, good beer, it's free... you know)

No Supper Show Last week

got the family dinner wrapped up and looked at the clock and thought wow... if there was a Supper Show i would have to run out the door now. i then though "How do i do it?"... and then i took the fists to myself for uttering such self pitying drivel. I think i caught myself with a good shot in the bugle and perhaps broke a bone in my nose.. or at least cracked it. The twins saw me hammering myself in the head and joined in with much excitement.

Never take the opportunities you have for granted... sure you are going to blow a few of them but that is life. Chin up old Robertson and no more of this off topic wallowing... next time it will be the groin.
