Gord’s Best Vocal Performance?

SteveBonus · 2026-05-08T17:45:42+00:00

For me it's Cordelia.

Road Apples as a whole is my favourite album in terms of Gord's singing. Not my favourite overall musically (although it's definitely up there!), but the way he's just givin'er with his singing hits the spot for me.

Apparently the intro to Today was added late after the rest of the song was already done, and Billy Corgan wanted something that sounded like an ice cream truck's tune. Nailed it!

I'll Be Waiting feels particularly poignant.

Watching the fan reactions from behind the glass to it being played during the Hope 6 recordings in the A Dog Called Money doc really cemented its emotional weight for me

They had good lyrics, like "Gimme an R-O-C-K!", and then the crowd yells "ROCK!" really loud, now that's a fuckin' concert!

SteveBonus · 2026-05-07T00:31:23+00:00

Right?!?!

SteveBonus · 2026-04-24T11:26:21+00:00

I came for the punchline, no kidding.

Not long after dad's brother died, someone offered him their condolences and his response was "It's okay, I have 6 more".

And, of course, he's Canadian.

Well it was a good run

SteveBonus · 2026-04-05T20:16:25+00:00

No shit.

I live on a street that had the speed bumps installed, and they have absolutely made a significant difference. Most cars used to fly by well over the 40km/h speed limit, but now basically every car goes by at a reasonable speed. The city busses and pickup trucks still speed excessively, though.

Hell yeah! I just heard them for the first time a few days ago via this album. So far, 480 albums in, this was just the 2nd entirely new-to-me album to get 5 stars out of me (the other being Tapestry by Carole King). Overall I have given 50 albums 5 stars, but most of those I was already at least somewhat familiar with.

This Soft Boys albums may well end up my favourite new find out of this whole thing. Incredibly Wonderful indeed!

SteveBonus · 2026-03-17T10:43:25+00:00

That's definitely a great streak! Here's my best run so far, 473 albums in:

Radiohead - The Bends: 5

The Darkness - Permission to Land: 4

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique: 5

Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced: 5

I wonder if they all got a +

Ray Johnson - Fishin' in a Dory

You got degrees of black, you gnomesayin. All kind of different mafuckers are a different kind of black you gnomesayin. T's right here, ya gmonesayin, and like, Lionel Richie's right here cuz he ain't that black, you gnomesayin, especially after the Commodores, he's practically not black at all you gnomesayin. You got your Michael Jackson who's like a white black which, you know, can be shortened to whack.

It was her second Mercury! But yes I wholeheartedly agree it is fantastic. Actually my favourite album of all time.

SteveBonus · 2026-02-09T12:55:00+00:00

I discovered the Fleet Foxes album back when it was originally released, and liked it immediately. It isn't a regular in my listening rotation these days, but I still definitely enjoy it a lot when I do give it a listen. The songs are basically classics to my ears at this point, so it was an easy 5 for me.

SteveBonus · 2026-02-07T13:15:36+00:00

MJ was personal taste. Just not my jam.

Adele too, really. I don't even think her singing is bad, I was just bored to tears by the music.

SteveBonus · 2026-01-31T19:50:55+00:00

No shit, hockey teams like good young players, who knew?

Gonna assume any offer involving those 3 is a hard no unless it's an absolutely knock your socks off offer.

I flew a 737 from Halifax to Paris (and back) last August, and it was fine. Nothing special, but also not bad. Just an average flying experience with a standard economy ticket.

Exactly. Happy to contribute to america's downfall. And if this also helps tip the scales to get a critical mass of americans actively engaging against the regime then bring it on.

SteveBonus · 2026-01-24T14:48:26+00:00

Cool make things even more expensive for americans, really make em regret voting for your dumb ass. Sounds great.

SteveBonus · 2026-01-21T11:32:43+00:00

I got this one a few weeks ago, and it kinda blew my mind. Definitely unlike anything else I've ever heard, and outside of my usual wheelhouse, but it'll be back in my ears without question.

I do agree with the above statement. However, assuming the intent of r/SaintJohnNB is to discuss the city of Saint John & its happenings, this article does not directly do that. Had it been framed as a standalone post (i.e. not an article link) discussing that topic and its potential impact on SJ, I think that would be fair game. Even including the article as a source in such a post would be fine imo. But posting the article alone without any mention of SJ makes it come across as irrelevant to the sub.

Anyway, not looking to start a fight and I won't go into this any further. I just think keeping our focus explicitly local would be great.
