Brad Roberts currently spends most of his time living in Harlem, which he credits with inspiring the funk background to this latest album. As for the continually changing style of the band, he explains that he gets sick of writing and playing one particular style of music. The shifts in the band's style have roughly accompanied the periods where he discovered and then mastered a particular style... Therefore: Ghosts that haunt me -> folk/rock, God shuffled his feet -> pop/rock, Worm (why can't I remember this.. I have it upstairs) -> hard rock and now a funk/hip hop beat. As far as I'm concerned, you can't beat Ellen Reid singing lead. Long time overdue IMO.

I took this with a large grain of salt, for several reasons. 1. Jack finally admitted that the band made a conscious decision to emphasize US promotion over Canadian promotion due to the band's perception of how Cdn. media dealt with wood (or, their mis-conceptions of how to deal with the Cdn. media when wood came out). 2. Jack emphasized that there will be a comprehensive coast-to-coast US tour, naming several cities where the band has only been a few times. He mentioned Canada in passing -- ie: oh, by the way, there are a few more Canadian dates in there. 3. The band continues to be IMO, too critical of the Canadian media. Journalists here make the same mistakes in attempting to label the band that journalists in the US make. How can it be worse if Canadians do it? If the band is expecting to not be labelled (or worse if they're no longer expecting to be seen as a novelty act) they may be disappointed since the last time they curtsied en masse to the Canadian media, their main gig was novelty. I'd have to say that as a budding journalist the last point is the one that bothers me the most. Jian was annoyed that the Globe and Mail mis-labeled the band in an article dated Feb 20. While I haven't actually read the article (as I suppose many others present also hadn't), I doubt that one line was worth the negative press that he gave it. Considering the band has largely been ignoring the media in Canada for the last few years, they need to do some legwork to get caught up. When and if they do get caught up, they can't expect to escape criticism due to the fact that they decided to try to hit it big in the States before doing the same in Canada.

Um, no. *g* I don't know if he did it during any other shows but when it debutes in Windsor Jian got this little "Yeah, I know" grin when he continued "It's something significant, because I don't often." 'Cause you gotta admit, Jian _likes_ to talk. A lot. That laughter which erupted from his little "I just have a few notes" comment at Frucon was the laughter of experience - we all know that when Ji opens his mouth, he'll go on for ten minutes, and we love him dearly for it. Someone who could make him listen *every time* she talked would be a very special person indeed. This is why I love the lyrics to this song - the woman it describes isn't the stereotypical beautiful, loving, unquestioningly supportive woman one hears about in countless pop songs. She obviously has something to say, something well worth listening to. "When she smiles, she's lovely" - but is she always? (Memories of "you're pretty when you smile" being a backhanded compliment) She can handle "the boys when the drinking gets ugly", which means not only can she handle them, she's hanging out at the bar with them. She's a bit of a manager, "always in command", a challenge. "You can't define the girl" <-- possibly the best line in the song. She wants more in her life than "just one man", which could mean a career, or could mean she's still looking and having some fun. The lyrics themselves are simple but the woman they describe is decidedly *not*. Fiona Harold: "I find this very hard to believe." Red Green: "That's because you're listenin'."

Sad Girl wouldn't work on the radio to me. It's too instrumentally weak. It would stick out like a sore thumb[1]. It's a good song mind you, but it doesn't sound whole enough right now in my head to be radio-able. Maybe a studio and some fancy finalization will squash it together enough to make it sound fuller, but I dunno. I know plenty of bands that write great tunes and have great musicality in their heads, but not the expertise to bring it through on the instruments. As much as the guys switching instruments is a novelty live, I don't know how it applies to the studio (and in turn to the radio) where the point it to sound as good as possible. > Independence Day will never > make it on the radio, however much I may love it; it's too slow and just > that little bit on the abstract side. Now, see, to me Independence Day is full enough to be played. It's got something going on all the time so that it won't distract. It is unconventional though, so that's a minus to most private stations, but I'd think Fruvous friendly stations could do well playing it. It's main detriment would be the tempo I guess, but once the drums kick that goes away and it's much closer to an upbeat ballad really. Or maybe I just like the bass fill[2] that leads in the drums from just hi-hat to bass/snare after the mid-break so much and I couldn't live without it on the radio at least once =) - Chad [1] Insert image of cartoon man who hammered his thumb and it is throbbing huge and red here [2] I mean damn good bass fill.

In my head, Jack admitted that they made a conscious effort with Moon and the Live Album to emphasize the US market. He said that he thinks the Canadian music business may again be ready for the band with this next album and they are gonna hit some places in Canada that they haven't played in awhile (like the east) to support the album. Jack said nothing about the emphasis of the new album that I remember. If anything he said it would be more equal. No one said anything about the Canadian release date, so there is no telling if it'll be earlier or later than the US date. If they are recording now and not releasing until July, I'd think they could easily sync the dates. But I'd guess Warner Canada is much less flexible about release dates than BLRC. I would think BLRC would want the album released as soon as they are ready to promote it and support it and as soon as the album is technically finished. But Warner Canada probably wants to space releases a bit. Of course all that is just guessing on my part. Maybe the reason it's gonna take that long to release is that expert finalizer guy who masters the CDs. I'd bet he's got a really full plate all the time if he's as big as they made him sound. > >It sounded like they were gonna hit > >more Canadian places they haven't played in awhile to support the > >new album, so hopefully you'll get to see them soon! > > I took this with a large grain of salt, for several reasons. > 1.

He also emphasized that they were gonna play some Canadian cities they haven't played in awhile. It wasn't in passing. How can he admit what he did and only mention Canada in passing? In my memory of what Jack said, he didn't emphasize Canada or US. He spanked the UK on the bottom and told them they were naughty[1][2], but didn't emphasis Canada over the US at all.

If the > band is expecting to not be labelled (or worse if they're no longer expecting > to be seen as a novelty act) they may be disappointed since the last time they > curtsied en masse to the Canadian media, their main gig was novelty. And the band makes the same snide comments on stage in the US when the media does that. "Rock from Canada"[3]? "From Canada Moxy Fruvous"[4]? "Moxy Fruvous is wretched"[5]? I think by Canadian music business Jack meant a lot more than the journalists. There's the label itself, Warner Canada. There's things like Much and radio stations. There's an infrastructure for the music business that once you get supported by it, it takes you really far, whether you want it or not. Bargainville, for one reason or another, got wired into that network because Warner Canada probably bid out the nose to sign a hot Indie and wanted to make it profitable. They probably paid out the bucks to make things work because they thought a hit Indie would make them money. I would guess that after Warner Canada milked that one for what it's worth, they quit feeding in the bucks and just acted like a normal record label again and left the promotion and such up to the management of the band, which doesn't have the name or money of Warner Canada behind it. What probably disappointed them about the media would have happened in the States too, because the media is fickle and takes what gets fed them. But when they came down to the states, they didn't have the image that Warner Canada and their Bargainville touring days made them into. They could come down and do what they wanted and grassroots the fans up from nothing. And that's what they did. Maybe they took the easy way out instead of working hard and making the Canadian market get it, they worked hard and introduced themselves to the US market. But that's a business call and judging from the fact that they are still around and still doing it, it worked. It sounds to me like Jack and the band saw all this and thinks that it's finally been long enough that those Bargainville images in Canada are gone enough that they can make it work in Canada. But that's just what I got the feeling of. Standard disclaimer: I was not around for any of the above and I'm just using stuff people have posted here over the years, stuff I've talked with people about, and various other imaginations and sensibilities I apply to the music business that may not be true at all.
