I got to take a trip to Toronto and feasted on Rheostatics and etc. I've also tried to get absound, but my servernever seems to be able to find it, for whatever reason (shrug).

Interestingly enough, one part of the song talks about recycling, though it's NOT what Marion had in mind (weak stomachs turn away now): "Food beyond compare, food beyond belief/mix it in a mixer and pretend it's beef/kidney of a horse, liver of a cat/filling up the sausages with this and that..."

It has always felt a bit odd posting with the knowledge that the band reads this newsgroup. It's as though the group speaks in a stage whisper, and (to quote the THX ad) the audience is listening. It makes for bizarre communication, don't you think? The fact that the discussions here are eliciting a response from Jian onstage makes things stranger still. Or maybe not. Perhaps it makes it a little more natural, more like a conversation. Just some (half-formed) thoughts.
