blog post TCNH: 2sday, January 5, 2010

nicely done, the mountains and the trees.

My whole adult life.

Actually, I just grabbed those off of the sound fx site...

Actually, I'm just a sound effect.

hi-o?

How about No Cars Go by Arcade Fire, because no cars go to space!

I will try to think of more. 

great idea! I can't think of any "lost" songs yet,  just that Blue Rodeo one for now.

anyways, I clicked on your Baby Eagle link thinking "hey I like Baby Eagle, I'm glad someone else does!". Only to find out I'm apparently his only fan on his page.  C'mon guys.

RUSH's "On the road to Bangkok" would suffice for a few countries and cities and a couple of continents too.

I'm so happy that everything is back to normal. I haven't been here on a Tuesday in a while! How exciting. 

This is a connection I've been dying to submit since the summer:

Wreaking Ball -- Mother Mother

Through and Through and Through -- Mr. Plaskett 

Use It -- The New Pornographers. 

Why? 

Well the first two have the word "Wreaking Ball" in the lyrics, but Use It also has the phrase "you had to send the wrecking crew after me".... therefore probably requiring a wreaking ball! 

I guess they all have some sort of theme centring on destruction. 

Oh really?! That would've been classic! I have never actually seen Baby Eagle or Wooley Leaves but I'd like to. 

Vish can't get lost. He has all his personal information pinned to his jacket. Plus he is well aware of the Block Parent program. 

I think we should start by looking in Craig Norris's furnace room.  I suspect the door will be guarded by Jijou.

Some very good mentions so far.

Saturn - Red Mass

for the record: Blue Rodeo rules.  I love Lost Together.  And I got their new double vinyl for christmas!!!!! now only to find a date for the pair of concert tickets I also got.....  anyways, I guess my question is: can we play Blue Rodeo on here? They're canadian.  Not really indie but they do bring along indie touring acts (Luke Doucette,Dustin Bentall, Cuff the Duke, Sadies, Bryson, etc).  C'mon, they're legendary.  Craig: can you pleeeeeeease play some 'Rodeo sometime soon?

I don't think Vish is "lost", his parents told me he was hiding safely in the hot air balloon tethered in the backyard.....

Well he may not be lost, but he's nowhere to be seen on Radio 3...

I haven't seen many connections just song requests, so here's some connections, yes with obvious ones, like Stars, etc.

Stars - Going, going, gone or anything really

Hot little rocket - volcano

The Clips - Space Kidz

The planet Smashers - Surfin in Tofino

@Bio Spice, nice good job

How about Bright Lights by Black Mountain? it's so long it makes bay of pigs seem like a jingle

Quirks and Quarks has probably saved my life at least a dozen times.  Whenever I seem to be falling asleep at the wheel, it'll come on the radio and stimulate my stimuli.

anyways im off to a meeting. have a great day!

That is must listen radio/podcast for me! 

Great Lake Swimmers - See you on the moon

Stars - Night starts here

Two Hours Traffic - Weightless one

Young Galaxy - Searchlight

I remember Bob McDonald once came to my school in like Grade 1. I think that was during his Wonderstruck days. 

Definitely a must listen!  My dream job pretty much just includes doing the research/producing for that show.  Mmmm...science.

Was it the Crimestoppers segment on your local station?

Neat!  I'm honoured you picked this for the theme and really happy to hear everybodys connections being played.  What a way to start 2010!

Oh man I hope Crimstoppers never finds this blog!

It would be their Grand Banks pre-1990's.

Hahahaha!  Very nice sir!

re:  #53

Great Lake Swimmers - I'll See You On The Moon (from Mamma Yamma)

I like this theme!

Here are the few that came to my mind:

Goodnight Moon - Said the Whale

Astronaut - Wintersleep

A Thousand Suns - Hey Rosetta!

I am pretty sure Radio 3 emits a high frequency signal that disrupts your and everyone else's bosses ability to seek out this blog. 

I don't have connections to mention as I'm really supposed to be working but I just wanted to mention how nice it is to be back listening to R3 and peaking at the blog after nearly 2 weeks without. 

I made a point of downloading a bunch of R3 podcasts before we left for Thunder Bay, shortly after Christmas, as I would be withouth internet for much of the following week.  This occured as we rapidly packed and raced out the door, as per usual.  Several hours down the road I pulled out my ipod, looking forward to a good R3-30 and discovered that it had not synched after the podcasts downloaded.  :(

So i'm glad to be back at my desk, tapping my foot, as TCNH blasts my ear buds, and I sneak a peak at everyone's comments on the blog.  :)

Happy New Year everyone and welcome back.  :)

He changed his name to Tariq, and has a more flamboyant show.

In keeping with the space and being lost theme, about "Slow Poke" by April Wine? Doesn't have to do with space or being lost. But is awesome.

Or not.

this is the 2nd time i've seen you mention April Wine in the last 2 days... get the best of album on vinyl for Christmas??? or some such?

I had the same idea and Craig played my connection (with a lot of the songs you mentioned) a few weeks ago. Obviously great minds think alike!

Craig: What is implied is that Vish's has taken a page from the Sunshine "Dick" Johnson style of guerilla journalism.

Rather than going tête à tête with Johnson, the CBC ombudsmen, and the Pratt Tribunal, Tariq Khanna took the high road and is going after Johnson with a dose of his own, homemade medicine.

B.Spice: This is neither the first, nor the last time I will reference the greatest Canadian rock band of all time. If you look at the pic I linked in comment 66, or that I posted in Facebook, you will kindly notice that April Wine is 75% beard. How can we not want to talk about their relevance?

er..it's "ombudsperson".

@themountainsandthetrees I see the "Space" reference but no "Lost", good song none the less

I am just glad Vish stopped utilizing "gorilla" journalism. There is only so much grunting and banana talk I can listen to. 

<shudder> anyone wanna start a connection about food? (specifically, chicken)

is this connection you're running with songs about countries?

by Weeping Tile

well, there's Living in China by Men w/out Hats, if you have that anywhere.

not sure how PC it is, since he sings about "all the little people who are living in China"

if you're talking about TRAVEL songs, instead of songs about countries, then See You on the Moon would work (thus bringing in the space theme as well)

When my light comes shining. Real ol' time.

So I got to share this with someone or else I'm going to explode! They're inflating the Olympic mascots right outside my work!!!! And apparently no one here knows why they are doing that, except me, and that's probably only because my friend is going to be carrying the torch past here tonight. WOOHOO!!  I'm like a kid at Christmas today!

Last time I checked Rush comes in at #5, right below Said The Whale.

Uh...Klaatu is at least tied for third.

Your list omitted:

1. Helix

2. Kick Axe

3. Brighton Rock

and…

4 Coney Hatch!

Metric - Twlight Galaxy

Would you believe my little brother's band was on a Klaatu tribute album?

oh, i love them Fiftymen.  that i do.

and it's looking like i'm missing the last hour of the show for a meeting.  shucks doodles (yes, i said it).  i can't wait to find out which luke doucet song the craiger will play...! someone fill me in, please! or don't.  i'll certainly get over it.

How about erasing all memory of Canrock pre 1990's? Or at least erasing all memory of their hair? 

No? 

Yeah it's funny, none of these bands have played a live show in MoniSki's lifetime, haha.

With all due respect, this song might better showcase band no 1:

Crazy Talk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=899wcTQ6IDA&feature=related

And this song would also work with Craig's travel theme:

Fly at Night

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXC1Zfupeaw&feature=related

:)

nothing wrong with Prism's greatest (Assuming it's old stuff)

Take me to the Kaptin

Spaceship Superstar

What was on Don't Say No? (was the Stroke on that?)

I have signs of life and enough is enough. Good ol' 80's rock with synths

hey, Spaceship Superstar would fit with the space theme as well

What was on Don't Say No? (was the Stroke on that?)

OMG yes! And my favourite Billy Squier song ever" Lonely is the Night. Starts with a ridiculously great guitar riff.

Where the hell is stevie rayk when we need to wax nostalgic about the 80's and spandex?

And Prism… You want a couple of records?

Funny that someone's replacing vinyl with CDs in 2010.

I've gone digital now. much easier to buy a second hard disk and just backup the whole collection than mess with CDs

So I just realized tb3 and I stole the keys to the blog and ran it off the road.  Again.  Hahaha.

Anyhoo... as for the space theme, how about "Satelites" by Sylvie?

was going to note nobody's mentioned Blue Peter, but see Stevierayk just did.

Take Me To War is up there on my all-time fave's list

twas scary

It's easy to derail when Craig goes to the mall food court for lunch.

Lost in Space song. How about Lost in Space by CADILLAC BILL & THE CREEPING BENT

Ok, now that we have a lost in space song, we just need a demolition in space song or a lost and demolishing things song to connect all today's "theme streams".

How is this "A Razor member was a Kramden for a spell" not the first line of your bio???

Does that mean the song I brought forward for it wasn't used or did someone else get to it first? Only got on to R3 now...
