Re: Make some noise!
Scott Schuman <GEN4114\!/HUSKY1.STMARYS.CA>, our illustrious list owner,
penned (typed) this heart-stirring call to arms:
}Hey there, subscriber!
}
}Maybe you've joined SloanNet because you're a patron of the arts - you
}know the type - horn-rimmed glasses and a glass of sherry. Then again,
}maybe you just like the feeling of your hair blowing back in the
}breeze as a bass guitar pumps Herculean chords through an amp at 150db.
^^^^^
I hope not! That's loud enough to blow your hair out at the roots! I'd
need earplugs, headphones, and a hard hat to deflect bits of falling
ceiling plaster.
}Whether you're more likely to bang your head into a bloody pulp at the
}slightest squeak of feedback, or offer a thesis dissertation on the
}Romantic sublime in your favorite grunge tune, you're welcome here.
Eric's Trip were on Much Music yesterday, giving a similar dissertation.
Mark referred to their music as a mixture of punk and dreaminess, with an
element of magic in every song.
}So pull up your virtual chair with us around the glowing cyberfire.
I love that line! Well done!
}Let's raise a mug in warm communion to the wonderfully quirky world
}of modern music. Tell us about yourself. Be controversial. Be boring!
}I don't care. I'm not your mother. Get involved. Lurk on the fringes.
}Get on your personal soapbox and/or high horse and rant about something.
Wouldn't want my horse to fall of the soap box & break a virtual leg,
because then I'd have to shoot him.
}Care, dammit! Or don't. Whatever.
I tried once to organize a march to fight apathy, but nobody seemed to
care.
}And if you're not from Halifax, tell us about the bands that make
}your heart sing in your hometown. 'Cause who knows where the next
}Halifax will be?
Dartmouth, perhaps?
