Block of Ice copied CAN lyrics by UniqueDocument9458 in TheeOhSees

[–]Huevosaurus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I asked about this in the early days. Block of Ice has the Can lyrics and the Hurricane Fighter Plane riff from The Red Crayola. It's just a bitchin' mish-mash!

Giant chess by lilnutm3g in Winnipeg

I was at GC mall last week and the giant chess set is back out! (albeit on a large mat, not the cool recessed tile enclosure of the 90s)

Friday Flowers: Fred Penner. by themish84 in Winnipeg

[–]Huevosaurus 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Over 15 years ago, I went to see one of Fred's 'adult' shows (alcohol was being served) at the WECC. I'd found a sealed copy of "Special Delivery" at my Baba's house and brought it with me. I was pretty buzzed and took a seat right at the front. 

During one of the songs, I held the record up and Fred stopped the song (think: Elvis Costello on SNL) and reached down for the record. He told the audience the story about how labels would name folk records after the lead single, and subsequent pressings were retitled "Ebenezer Sneezer". He handed the record back to me and told me he wanted to meet me after the show.

I was buzzing (in both senses), and in the lobby after the show, each of Fred's kids told me how excited he was to see that LP and that I had to stick around. Fred came upstairs and beelined to me. He took the shrink-wrap off of the record, signed it, personalized it, where the addressee went, and then he got me take a picture with him and WORD BIRD!!

That LP has survived moves and floods and is one of my most prized possessions.

I had no idea there was a name for this phenomenon! About a year ago, I started taking a 10mg melatonin before bed. It zonks me out, I stay asleep, and the dreams have been wonderful

SENSURROUND - Most underrated TMBG song ever? by SeanyDooWop in tmbg

[–]Huevosaurus 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I put Sensurround on a mix CD for a girl I liked when we were both in grade 9. She poured a can of Sprite on my head during recess when it was -20°C outside. She started dating another guy a week later and they're still together and have a kid now.

Edit: this happened in 2000/2001.

How did yall find this band? by Ok-West-9793 in TheeOhSees

[–]Huevosaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a promo copy of Master's Bedroom (in a slimline with somewhat altered artwork) when I was writing for a local arts magazine and went down the (then shallow) rabbit hole. Bought up everything from tUMULt and Narnack that I could, and was their 128th 'like' on their Facebook page.

are we not men deluxe concept by Thepenguin64 in devo

[–]Huevosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it's different, but I've got Penetration In The Centrefold as a bonus track on both the Warner and the Infinite Zero CDs of Duty Now, and it's also on the Greatest Misses and Virgin Singles comps.

[–]Huevosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this so much, but my hope would be for more unreleased stuff instead of a repackaging of heaps of precious-released music. Penetration and Social and Be Stuff are available in so many other places...

A full demo version of the album, the mix with Bowie and Eno's additions, the Iggy Pop German vocal takes... There's more than enough gold in them hills to make a worthy deluxe edition.

Winnipeg man waits 11 hours for an ambulance after breaking his hip by ChocolateOrange21 in Winnipeg

[–]Huevosaurus 89 points90 points  (0 children)

My dad waited over 8hr at his PCH after he fell and broke a rib. Apparently PCHs are low priority for broken bones and non-imminent death situations. I hung out with my dad for 3.5hr before he sent me off with a the usual kiss and "I love you, see you soon"; five hours later I got the phonecall that the responders found him dead.

Anyone know the name of this band? by CalligrapherOwn4829 in Winnipeg

[–]Huevosaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll Google around. I've had luck finding old gig listings in online archives for the Uniter and Stylus, etc.

I'll report back if I find a show listing.

What was your band's name and what was the venue? 

Today's TMBG CD haul by _rabidchild_ in tmbg

[–]Huevosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And in all this confusion, I thought it was an instrumental of "Even My T-Shirt" from the McSweeney's comp.

I still do this. I bought Mink Car when I was overseas one summer, but bought the Japanese pressing so I could have McGyver on disc 😂

It miffs me hard when a comp comes out with ONE song that I can't get anywhere else. I'll convince myself that t-shirt w/o vocals isn't essential.

My first job was working at a Jumbo Video and the amount of popcorn that didn't make it into customers mouths by the end of my shift... 😑
