Andrew Scott = HOT! Discuss! (actually a Drummer question)

Genesis, gettouttahere! And ditto for snipping you snarks in the bud before anyone tries to say The Eagles.

Dreaming of You = CLASSIC *BUT* ...

In The Movies roXORs like a motherfucker. It's all about that who-U- like intro. This is the first time ever that I've dug a Sloan album out of the record pile months later, because I'm dying to hear the Andrew songs.

Not to mention the trousers. Oh, they are very tight. Leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. Details, outlines, everything. It's the Bobby G effect.

I always liked Patrick's songs the most, but I've only got three Sloan LPs, so perhaps the others jumped ahead of him on those ones I haven't heard.

So how about I dress up like Damien Hirst and paint PIKTURES of sharks (coz there is no Canadian Saatchi to buy me a REEL one) will she adore me, then?

RESULT!!!!

I don't mind the KISS worship, I think it's quite amusing. To be fair, I like Sloan best when they sound like The Nazz.

Patrick used to be my second favourite Sloan writer, but now he's dropped to third place. Chris still in last place, because his only good song, ever, was Deeper Than Beauty. Which was just a de-grunged rewrite of Underwhelmed.

I am actually slightly disappointed that no one has brought up Don Henley so I can't tell my Eagles joke.

::drum roll:: ba-dum-bum-bump

I don't need to write Sloan slash. They make MOVIES slashing themselves. More reasons Andrew Scott = rOXOr.

April Wine were a bad, bad very bad Canadian rawk band from Halifax in the 70s. Kinda CanCon polite poodle rock, Sean could tell more, I dont even remeber their big singles. But you liked Between the Bridges didnt you? So you may dig em.
I did mention that live they've dropped the key on Open My Eyes so it doesnt sound like Nazz anymore eh?

I can't say I understand affection for any Sloan post-Navy Blues (though that song 'The Other Man' is OK). But Andrew songs like Chester The Molester and People Of The Sky have a certain charm. I still dig OCTA more than the others, for which people say I'm insane.

I've only really come to appreciate Andrew post-Navy Blues. I didn't care much for his early stuff at all. Jay was always my favourite - come on, Snowsuit Sound! ::clap clap clap clap::

I think I can appreciate all eras of Sloan because I only really discovered them around Navy Blues, due to geographic unavailability. So I don't have this idea of a golden age which many Canadian fans seem to have, I can take it all at face value. OCTA seems to be most people I knows' favourite.

BTW, Zac, I didn't love or hate Between the Bridges, I just thought it was incredibly poorly sequenced. I could never get past The NS, which was a really strange choice for opener. And they put the most RAWK song (Take Good Care Of The Poor Boy - thanks, Jay) right at the end, which seemed suicidal, I would never make it that far into the album.

Best liner notes, EVER. But we've discussed this before.

Exactly what I mean about BTB being badly sequenced. The last four songs are utter powerhouses. Even the last five, I'd say, cause I love Waiting For Slow Songs, as well. The whole album is sequenced backwards. Think how great it would be if it started with Delivering Maybes, then TGCOFPB, then Marquee/Moon.

Sloan albums should ALWAYS sock you in the jaw with about 3 or 4 rockers before going to the ballads and the moody, introspective Andrew songs. As Pretty Together does.

I lied, it's not a drummer thread, it's a Sloan thread. But the real Sloan C or D thread is so boring.

How's the novel coming?

There's some definite MANLUV going on with Paddy's guitar there.

Christ, I always thought it was the Eagles. I am so not up on my 70s cheeserock.

cue LL Cool J - "Damn it! Uhn! Damn it! Uhn!"

Jay's songs are ok on Twice Removed but shite on OCTA - come on, 'Junior Panthers' is not a patch on 'G Turns To D'.

As my friend L*nds*y sez, Chris Murphy is SLEAZY!

Which brings us back to the original proposition, which was the Andrew Scott also = HOTTEST member of Sloan. Mmmmm. Grey hair.

Right, enough out of me. Time to take the last train back to reality.

Which only goes to PROVE my point!

And I've just realised that I'm the only person that prefers Twice Removed to OCTA for the simple reason that the Jay songs on Twice Removed are so much better. Weex.

OK, today I got mistaken for Canadian at the Canadian Embassy (that's where we're having our album launch party) but STILL! Sheesh!

The Canadian embassy thing started as a joke, cause, like, we wanted to have our album launch somewhere unusual, and not stupid and industry. So Jane remembered that Canada House has this cinema room where they sometimes do showcase performances of Canadian artists. She wrote to them and asked them if we could do it there, and yeah, we count as CanCon, so they'll have us.

Went and checked out the room/building today, and it's very nice apart from having to go through a metal detector when you go in. That's pretty RAWK.

Though I won't believe that we're really CanCon till we've been on MuchMusic. Animal suits optional.

(testing the hard return thingy)

I don't remeber how you qualify as Cancon. I thought you took the writing and music credits to BBBLLL. I remeber the demo cassette was to "The Lollies" which was you and Jane, so 50% written and performed by a Canadian which I thought gets M, A and L slices of the MAPL pie. Im no entertainment lawyer, but hell you've been on national charts debuting higher then GYBE so there, your defacto Canadian, if not honorary. Hell we charted you as Canadian but Earshot wouldnt give you the (CC) of death. You realize that by becoming even honorary Canadian you kill all chances of ever breaking the American market, as if being based in Engerland isnt making it hard enough. (regardless of that not being your goal/ambition)

I heart C'est What's shepards [booze] pie.

True. Though I'm afraid Sloan BORE me senseless. ;-)

The best songwriter in Cold Chisel was the drummer.

Scottie wrote Karp's best song "Obstacle Corpse".

My friend filled me with CHOCOLATE last night and MADE ME watch the If It Feels Good, Do It video over and over and over again. There's starting to be as much of a glitch on the tape where Andrew flicks his hair and licks his lips as there is on the Bobby G Leather Trousered Hairflick bit of JAMC's Just Like Honey video. This worries me.
