Random Things

Hope everyone is having a good holiday season. Just a couple of things from me here.

-As I said on my show last week, I was going to post the Christmas songs I played on December 14 on the site, since most were from other mp3 blogs. So tonight I made the flie up, zipped it and then went to Rapidshare and boom, not working. So keep an eye out the next couple of days and hopefully I'll have it up.
-Last week I did a post on Jim Guthrie wondering what he was up to. Of course leave it to Michael Barclay over at radiofreecanuckistan to answer the question. Guthrie is working on his new album and has been writing commercial jingles. You can read the full interview over here.
-I'm really looking forward to Walk Hard coming this Friday so when I saw this promo video from Judd Apatow from Funny Or Die I was excited. Watching it, the excitement held up. Enjoy it here.



That's all for now. More coming soon.

What's Your Favorite Cover

Got a message from the great Berkeley Place pointing out a poll he's running over there. He's trying to get a consensus of the best covers of the century so far. I guess that my headline for this entry is misleading (favorite as opposed to best)

So he's got some rules.

1. The song must be a recognizable cover (in other words, although Bruce Springsteen wrote “Light of Day,” he did it for Joan Jett, so neither of them could really have “covered” the song).

2. It must have come out after January 1, 2000.

3. It can be a live cover or a studio one, whatever you like.

There's also some prizes, so get going and work on your list. No deadline set up but I'd guess a week or so. I'm going to put some thought into this and I'll post my list up here in the next couple of days.

For full details head over here to Berkeley Place.

More Post-Rheostatics Stuff

Some more stuff in the wake of the last Rheostatics show.

-T to the J to the O has a nice write-up on the last show.
-Blog TO also has a collection of memories and thoughts on the band collected here.
-Over at Write About Here, there is also a good review of the show.
-Good. Gone. Dead. continues to be the ultimate source for all things regarding the last days of the band. Biggest highlight being a soundboard recording of the second last show of the band from the Horseshoe. Go here for full details and download.
-CBC has it's recording of the final Rheo show, one on Radio 3 and one on Radio 2. It's not the full show but of course top notch quality. Good. Gone. Dead. has 2 audience recordings of the show and the promise of a soundboard but nothing yet.

Lots of personal stuff in the highlight. Honestly that's one of the important draws to the band (to me personally) is the connection fans (myself included) feel to the band. Speaking of personal, my own post that I've promised is coming along but very slowly. But I'm putting my foot in my mouth and promising it this week since I want to get it done.

More On Life After The Rheos

More and more Rheostatic stuff to check out.

Darrin from the Rheostatics Live website has also started a site dedicated to the end of the band. Good Gone Dead is collecting anything and everything from the last week of shows and everything after.

Over at radio free canuckistan, Michael Barclay's review is up. A must read for any fan. You can read his thoughts on the last three Rheo shows here.

The Globe And Mail had a write-up from Dave Bidini on the last show. Very nice and definitely worth checking out. To see's Dave's article go here.

Zunior had a free mash up from The Golden Seals called RHEOVOLVER.

The Golden Seals-RHEOVOLVER

Lastly I'm in the middle of writing my Rheostatic post. Hopefully going to knock it out in the next day or so. Just not used to writing something like this (it's been a bit) so it's a little slow coming.

New Apples In Stereo Video

Saw this on Stereogum and wanted to put it up myself. I've really been loving the new Apples In Stereo album and this song specifically. So when I saw the video thought I'd throw it up here.

More Rheostatics Links And Don't Forget Dave Ullrich Interview Today

Well today is the big day. The final Rheostatics show tonight at Massey Hall. A few more interesting stuff has popped up around the internet.

Over at radio free canuckistan, the last two installments are up of the excerpts from Have Not Been The Same. Also there are interviews with Dave Bidini from the end of last year, which I mentioned before but not as much as I thought I had. Anyways they're definitely worth looking at go into the ending of the band. All the links below

-Have Not Been The Same part 3
-Have Not Been The Same part 4
-Dave Bidini interview part 1
-Dave Bidini interview part 2

Eye Magazine also had a really nice write up, basically an obituary for the band as well as words of appreciation from some famous friends and fans including Feist, Justin Rutledge, Hawksley Workman and John Southworth.

-Part one is the write up
-Part two is the testimonials

Lastly don't forget that Dave Ullrich of Zunior will call in on today's radio edition of the show to talk about The Secret Sessions: Rheostatics Tribute. It will happen around 11am EST. You can listen in live at the CJAM website.

To get you in the mood enjoy this Inbreds classic.

The Inbreds-Round 12 (Live, Calgary 2/97)

As for Rheostatics posts there will probably only be one or maybe two more from me. Probably a post-show wrap up and then one last big, personal one.

Today's Rheostatic Post

Wednesday is my really busy day (in real life) so probably not too much today Rheostatic-wise. Today some links to great stuff on the internet.

In honour of the last Rheostatics show, CBC has a a photo gallery up with some great pictures of the band spanning the years. Definitely worth seeing and you can check it out here.

For a comprehensive history of the band (well comprehensive up to 2001) you can see Exclaim Magazine's Timeline story here.

Lastly I'm going to point the way to one of my favorite articles of the band of all time. It was originally printed in ID Magazine from 1999 by Michael Barclay of radio free canuckistan. I have a whole bunch of articles I kept over the years and started a website to put them up (Rheostatics Media Archive). I stopped putting stuff up (as well as collecting them). Maybe I'll go back some day and put new stuff up. For now though you should read "License To Confuse" here.

Hopefully more later today (the very least the link to the Dave Bidini interview from CFRU)

Rheostatics Week Continues

Well today a rare song, an upcoming interview and a book excerpt as the Rheostatics farewell countdown continues.

First the interview. This week on the Mich Vish Interracial Morning Show, Rheostatic Dave Bidini will be on talking about the last show. The interview will take place around 7:30 am this Wednesday on CFRU. I'll provide the link after the interview. For full details go here.

Next the excerpt. At radio free canuckistan, Michael Barclay has an excerpt from his amazing book he co-wrote, Have Not Been The Same, from the Rheostatics chapter. It's a four part post and part one can be seen here.

Lastly the rare song. One of the biggest Rheostatics hits would have to be "Bad Time To Be Poor". Originally on The Blue Hysteria album, it came during Mike Harris and the PC "Common Sense Revolution". People were hurting and the song struck a nerve. At the same time the Ontario government was in the middle of merging all the municipalities of Toronto into the "Mega City". Lots of people didn't like the idea and a benefit album came out to fight it, No Mega-CD, in 1997. On it was a new version of "Bad Time To Be Poor". Not really circulated much I'm sharing it here with you all. Just a straight up mp3 on YouSendIt and the link is below.

Rheostatics-"Bad Time To Be Poor" No Mega-CD version

Back tomorrow with another Rheostatics post.

Where To Find SXSW Music

Just thought I'd try to spread the word of a couple of very cool things having to do with the just past SXSW Conference. If you're like me (poor) and couldn't make it to the conference, you had to live vicariously through other sources out there. It was hectic, a lot of bands and a lot of blogs posting stuff. Well now a couple of great sites have helped to ease the confusion.

Largehearted Boy has a page of links to live shows from SXSW, both downloadable and streams. Go here for the full list (that's updated) of acts.

A few of the listings comes from Lulla Byes. On this site they have a bunch of live recordings (going back over the years). From the 2007 SXSW I've checked out The Pippettes recording and it's really fun and recommended.
