Pleban Girls Party - You Know That we're crazy about U2

[Drea]

I know there's more to Canadian music than just two old bands (and Sarah McLaughlin, Anne Murray and Gordon Lightfoot). I was being silly. I couldn't help myself!

(ducks spit from Drea's smilies).

Will you forgive me if I told you I have Tom Cochrane songs on my iPod? Even if they're just Life is a Highway and Wonder Where the Lions Are?

Wondering Where The Lions Are is Bruce Cockburn, not Tom Cochrane *G* Tre'd have your butt for getting that mixed up, and he's not even Cdn!

 

[VintagePunk]

Forgive me, I'm an American.

So you're missing the ability to distinguish between artists?

Forgiven.

Add Nickleback and The Band to tonight's list...

 

[Drea]

A few other Tom Cochrane songs you should have:

Big League
Boy Inside The Man
- both of these are Tom Cochrane and Red Rider

Mad Mad World
All The King's Men
- both from the same album as Life Is A Highway

I could suggest a few more from Mad Mad World, but I haven't listened to it for a while and I'd have to go find the tape

 

[jobob]

Okay, since I live just north and south of the Canadian border ...

Is Cockburn Canadian?

 

[VintagePunk]

Drea, a must from Red Rider is Lunatic Fringe

Big League and Boy Inside the man are Red Rider? Did he reunite with them for an album after Life...? Just wondering cause I saw him solo around the time that those songs were out, and he played them then.

Mad Mad World had like 7 singles released from it, it's a great album! One of my favourites (a non-single) is Sinking Like a Sunset.

Is Cockburn Canadian?

Yes he is


VP - I thought they were, I could be wrong... And yeah, Sinking Like A Sunset rocks It's been waaaaay too long since I listened to that album, I should dig it out again

 

[Drea]

Nickelback? The Band at least is a good choice

I can't find my Mad Mad World cassette

 

[VintagePunk]

Yes he is


VP - I thought they were, I could be wrong... And yeah, Sinking Like A Sunset rocks It's been waaaaay too long since I listened to that album, I should dig it out again

The lyrics are gorgeous, so melancholy!

Through the years, that's always been one of my fave cds, one of the few i listen to from start to finish.

I just did a quick look on Amazon, and the Cochrane solo and Red Rider stuff seems to be very blurred. Some solo stuff he later did with them, and vice-versa.

 

[Thora]

Hello!

So Sarah did Life is a Highway tonight? Cool. I hope she did well! I'll be watching her when it comes on eventually over here.

 

[Drea]

*pokes thread*

 

[jobob]

Hello, Thora!

Sorry it took so long for me to greet you. I was distracted by photos in Pleba. Yes, that's my story.

 

[Thora]

Hi everyone! I was just about to poke the thread, but I'm glad you're all here.

 

[jobob]

I wonder where SG is tonight. Hopefully she's visiting everyone's favorite little village.

 

[VintagePunk]

Hey Thora! Want me to tell you how Sarah did, or do you want to wait?

 

[Thora]

I hope she is, Jo!

VP - Sure, tell me how she did. I'll still watch her performance later.

 

[VintagePunk]

She did really well, except for some reason, she sang the first verse too low for her voice...but for the chorus and next verse, she bumped it up an octave, and it was really good! I blame stuff like that more on the people who are supposedly helping them develop...

 

[Thora]

Sweet. She has such a good voice. I sang with her a few times, but she was obviously so much better than me. Since we were young, it's always been her dream to be a singer. She's such an awesome person, I'm so happy for her that she's finally getting some notice!

Good luck to her, then.

 

[Drea]

Is everyone melting in the heat or what?

 

[Thora]

No, I'm just cooking dinner and having a glass of wine. The heat wave hasn't hit us just yet.

 

[dazzledbylight]

[jobob]
