blog post The R3-30 featuring Basia Bulat & John K. Samson!

I'm going to go ahead and say, no, they are not mandatory. 

well said Mr. Norris. 

Well that is good, because I wont lie I can afford pants.

At least not both legs. 

Was had by me here.

I'd like to see that, Craig (or hear it) - you talking like old-style Bing Crosby for the whole show

Doubt that will happen.

How about Norm Crosby? Or David Crosby? Cathy Lee Crosby? Sidney Crosby?

or Norm MacDonald?

y'know, I could envision a future TCNH blog photo with Craig's face photoshopped into that David Crosby pic...

Crosbystillsnashandyoung?

now that goofy song from Barenaked for the Holidays is gong to be stuck in my head

But I am... ;)

I was just surfing through your profile pics to see if there are any pics where you're actually wearing lipstick. I don't see any, 'cept possibly that one where you're kinda dressed up and drinking white wine.

coincidentally, I noticed that you created your R3 profile on the exact same day as me. what are the odds of that?

oh, my calendar is commanding me to attend a meeting

perhaps I shall update my profile pictures. Though, I'm not sure how appropriate they would be. hm haha

And, I think May 2nd 2007 was a great day. No wonder we both decided to create R3 profiles. 

I missed it.  I'm assuming it was good.

I just read an article about the bash last night.  Man is Leonard Cohen ever classy.

Listen Craig (Pedro), I love you guys. But what's up with the robot. Junk-o-matic or whatever his name is. I was sure it was just a brief, obnoxious joke but it just keeps on going. I LOVE when Craig pisses him off, and I am waiting for the day his voice is no longer to be heard on the digital airwaves. ... wow, that was harsh. In fact, I am getting a little sad for him all of a sudden. But still, that music that goes with the new jingle-kitt ... its so BAD. Maybe toss the retro dance music, keep the robot for tension-filled banter, get Kelly whatshername back in there with that pretty woman radio voice stuff, and get Pedro to launch the numbers so Craig can hit it out of the park ... I miss those days. Love you all, take care. Be safe.

or does the opening 2 seconds in this song remind anyone else of Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down (ignore the similar lyrics in opening line..)

*Just sayING that. Sigh.

New proverb twist for the e-messaging age:

haste makes twice.

Haha, I like it. And I agree completely.

You're welcome.

I like too.

makes me smile every time. It's good.

coffee and red bull. heart palpatating good times

If the Jinglematic 3000 is separated from the mixing console in the studio, it starts to weep.

You are always welcome at our listening party. You can even bring your own favorite piece of vinyl.

I wanna come to this Calgary listening party...

You guys are all welcome to mine in Vancouver

Yes bring your favourite piece of vinyl....and Mike V.

Ok, if you can pack Mike V into your suitcase I'll accept that as a substitute for the Jinglematic. I've heard he folds nicely.

I think this is Winter 2010's 'Jerk It'.  I just can't stop my head from a-bopping every time it comes on.

I agree. As soon as that comes on I want to crank it up and have a dance party in my cubicle. 

I find CP24 to be a clumsy euphemism though. 

yeah, sounds fabulous. when I first got my player only had my friends vinyl. which had some good stuff, no doubt about it. but mostly older stuff, I didn't have any. Not that I have lots these days, but some. I'll just have to make sure Alex can come. He's got a nice milk crate of vinyl going.

..."Baby Plucky" cartoon from Tiny Toons.

Do not click without knowing it's likely to start. (Then again, hitting <pause> does allow the feed to stream in, avoiding hiatusses in the playing.)

Baby Plucky: "Minister Golf"

I think it came after The Potty Years, just as funny if niot funnier. (The video format of this one, .avi, is pretty tiny, even though you can get it to screen in 480p.) Ciao,

Cherry Kool-Aid mixed with aftershave. 

You're right.  At best it could be used in a cheesy pick up line:

"Baby, if you get with me, I'ma be all over you like CP24 on a pedestrian death in da T.Dot." or "Baby, I'ma cover you better than CP24's coverage of the 2010 T.Dizzle Mayoral Election" or "Baby, if you marry me, I'ma let all of the 416 and 905 know with an add following Russel Oliver on CP24"

Comes boxed.

Like the Pizza Pocket hors d' oeuvres.

Doesn't drop enough Mark Dailey references!

(coincidentally found out watching the CKLW doc. that Lana pimped, that Mark got his starts on CKLW as a crime reporter)

in all honesty, there is plenty of ok boxed wine..but it is still an easy humour device

You're probably talking about the properly boxed kind in tetra packs.

I am referring to the wine that Mike makes and boxes himself. In repurposed circle shaped oat cereal.

Deserved, of course.  But, I'd kind of like to keep how great it is here a secret.

What if everyone knew?  Traffic would get bad, housing prices would rise, all the good schools would fill up, line ups would start appearing all over the place, I wouldn't be able to see John K perform with only a handful of other people.

So, be quiet about it already, would ya?

You don't seem to have a problem consuming it when you are out on one of your month long "walkabouts." 

Have you considered lasik?

Like actually having the lasik laser installed behind your pupils.

I've been saving up for the lasik laser beams surgery.  I call it my "becoming more badass" fund.  Also, it would eliminate the need for a microwave.

I'm scared of your impending laser eyes... so I'm not going to comment on that for fear of future glares.
