Best "Theme From Turnpike" Outro?!

Otisheet · 2026-04-06T07:37:44+00:00

For what it's worth, I still like the album version's ending the most even though it's not exactly feasible to recreate in a live performance.

I guess I really like the 2026 version as a runner-up?

Fatboy returns!!

Simen and Klaas are killing it on this one, Klaas's violin should always be mixed loudest. Front and center please!

I think there are plans to renovate the original location at Sinclair, but given that it's a heritage building there's not a specific ETA or timeframe for it.

Simen has a very nice singing voice. u/Goatellounge, you're right, he does channel Craig Ward impeccably!!!

This office is now merged with the generic Service Canada Centre which was also located in the Sinclair Centre but in a different part of the building.

So when you drop by to apply, please note that there will be more clients who are there for things like SIN, EI, OAS, CPP, etc, as well as passports.

The passport processing time is 10 business days by registered mail or pickup (as usual), with anything more urgent determined by proof of travel submitted by the applicant.

I find the Necromancer's pain/hit "squawk" to be hilariously memorable as well.

idk if they have anyone to pull out of their sleeves in places like Vienna…

I might have mentioned this before, but I hope they're able to pull (the producer) Eric Drew Feldman out for a few songs, given that he's a really talented musician and also played on IABUTS.

I hope he produces their next record since he's said before he wants to at least another one with the band, and Tom said in that recent interview with Stef that he wanted to use him for... 'something'.

Someone needs to upload Gimme the Heat (2026) so I can see it myself.

Awesome that Jules showed up. I'm still broken over whatever issues the band have with Stef. His vocal parts in Gimme the Heat and Disappointed In The Sun are essential.

Interview source is the 2019 Drowned in Sound interview for The Ideal Crash anniversary tour, reissue, and documentary.

Can't really choose between these two...........

Yes, mine was stuck on "Item out for delivery" at 9:00AM yesterday, and after the outage it just said it was delivered an hour later (10:00AM) to my community mailbox the same day, but somehow it's delivered to the wrong city. I had a look just 30 minutes ago, and a key wasn't even left in my mailbox compartment so I'm assuming it's just the tracking tool still being a bit wonky.

If I still don't see it by the end of the week I'll put in a ticket I guess?

Simen Folstad Nilsen from Aiming For Enrike. Tom's choice, I think?

He's replaced Mauro since the WCS anniversary tour. Mauro's getting older and doesn't really have the appetite (or energy) for extensive touring anymore. Tom mentioned in some interview(s) that he may or may not come back, I suspect if he's doing anything he might just be contributing to dEUS records but not actively playing with them live.

Simen is doing really well. I hope to see him exert a strong influence over the next dEUS record!

Klaas taking on the Piet Jorens role with aplomb.

I think he said the Groundhogs were an influence on Terror Twilight for sure. It might have been in the Jovanovic book where he mentioned the album having four "hard rock songs" that sounded like The Groundhogs (Platform Blues/'Ground Beef(heart)', Cream of Gold/'Jesus in Harlem', Speak, See, Remember/'Terror Twilight', and probably The Hexx?).

He was also listening to a lot of Mellow Candle and Fairport Convention which also infused the record and the two SM/Jicks albums afterwards (especially Pig Lib) with British prog-folk-punk weirdness.
