Re: New Order in 2012

Yes, I was a bit bummed when I found that Peter Hook left the band (or didn't come back) but I have really enjoyed the last few albums (Get Ready and Waiting for the Sirens to Call). And it's been awhile since I have been excited to go to a concert. I haven't seen many in the last few years. Just Hu...

New Order in 2012

I just got a pair of ticket to see New Order (minus Peter Hook) in Toronto at the end of October. Looking forward to seeing a concert that's not a Disney or Sesame Street production.

Re: Ultravox - Brilliant album

Thanks for all the feedback. If Brilliant gets released in Canada and I can buy it for $15, I will get it. I won't pay the $30 (plus) to amazon uk/hmv uk to get it as an import. And with the money I save, I can buy a new copy of "Do they know it's christmas" and cringe everytime Simon LeBo...

Ultravox - Brilliant album

I was a big fan of Ultravox back in my high schools day. Loved the John Foxx version, and the first few Midge Ure albums. I was getting a bit bored with them around "Love's Great Adventure". I really liked the song but when SWarren Cann left, I skipped buying their U-VOX album. I have list...

Re: XTC '77

Black Sea was probably my favourite. Wish I still had the plastic black bag it came in when I bought the album all those years ago.

PWEI

Hello All, I am just about to order "Giants" from the HMV website but I also was going to order a couple other cd's at the same time. I was planning to get "Fire and Water" but it's out of stock. I saw that PWEI had an album last year (New Noise Designed By A Sadist). Anyone have...

Buzzcocks - Toronto May 2010

The Buzzcocks played at the Opera House last week. This is one my favourite venues in Toronto. The "floor" has 2 levels and there is a balcony with 3 rows. If you get there earlier enough for a show, you should be get a good view. My friend Derek and I got their just in time for the openin...

Re: Public Image Limited!

Pil were in Toronto a couple of weeks ago and I went to see them. The venue was changed at the last moment from the large Guvernment to the Phoenix. We only found out when we drove up (in a thunder storm) to a surprisingly quiet parking lot near the Guvernment. Pil was the only band on the bill so w...

If they make a movie about his life, I want Johnny Depp to play him.

Re: Men without hats

I have a soft spot for Men Without Hats. Before Safety Dance hit big, I saw them open for the Stranglers in Toronto. I think it was 1981 and it was my 2nd or 3rd concert ever. They got a really rough treatment (spit, pop cups, and a few medical suggestions from folks who I don't think were health pr...
