Ugh! I rent, and if we had anyone living beside us, they can complain about
the paper walls (I live in a 1950's US built rowhouse right now...it's kind of
-thin- on the insulation...)

All good!. I have some Cure around here too, and at least know who the rest
are :)

I saw them (again) this summer. Took 6 hrs driving, but we saw them at "The
Kee" (in Bala, Ont).

2 new albums out right now, and a 3rd on the way. (greatest hits, Live--a very
good album, and a new album is being made right now. Go to www.maplemusic.com
to order them)

Nope. Total of my 54-40 is 0 songs, no Lowest of the Low, and only a little
bit of Blue Rodeo (one whole track, plus Greg Kellor on Pine Ridge)...We went
and saw them last year when they played here. (I'm not going to see the 'hip,
because I don't think they need encouragement to come play here...the first gig
sold out in like 2 hrs)

Na, 5 disk would probably work better than the 100 disk changer. I like the
changer because I have a bunch of CDR stuff that I don't like handling much
(bootlegs, and don't tell me if you don't like them...its a personal thing...)
My stereo is a bit weird like that, I have 1 tape deck, the CD changer, a
diskman and the putr hoocked up to it, as well as having a live wire to plug my
guitar amp into if I am up here with it and want to play at recording stuff.

Oh ya. She releases 2-3 albums/year, remarkably prolific. Esp, when you
consider that her bassist (Sarah Lee) also tours/plays with Indigo Girls.

as above, www.maplemusic.com is a _great_ source for Cdn. music.
