And what revolution could be started without the controversial DEVO band heading it up

Umm Art... dickie die and f u fo is just weird.

Yes who knew in the 60's that such a simple song had future offensive language in it.

The next song I don't expect you to like much. The history of the group is really fascinating because a group that was started for a talent contest went on to be big and then they faded away into corporate jobs. Reappearing as often as society wanted to hear from them.

for Big Dan here on the forum, enjoy those tickets

Oh I will, Apr is too far away right now though!

We had our work Christmas party last night and my toast went like this

"We've taken care of everything

The words you hear, the songs you sing

The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes.

It's one for all and all for one

We work together, common sons

Never need to wonder how or why"

Nobody had any idea what I was going on about :w00t:

Geddy's always a hoot..

Had a guy I went to school with in TO that had a cottage on the same lake as Geddy. Some pretty good free "concerts" for a couple summers in the late 70's

Thought i would add one

Old School

Headhunter · December 16, 2010

There was A&M records a couple of doors down and MR Music. Sam Sniderman would eventually buy them both out. One of the Snidermans used to have an interest in the old Stage 212 back in the days before table and lap dancing.

My first job, working in Toronto, was at the main store of Sam the Record Man... you are correct to some degree in that Sam's older brother Sid, did have interests in properties on Yonge Street. Actually he owned many of the buildings on Yonge, between Dundas and Gerrard street. Including I beleive, the old A&A records building.

Sam made most of his money distributing records to his franchised stores across the country... not much if any at the flagship store. Actually, the flagship store was intended to be a tax right off for his distribution company, Roblans. Roblans is/was located on Church street, just north of Dundas. As a tax shelter, he would sell his records to his stores at the suggested retail price, then sell them at the retail level, to the customers at a lower price. The stores showed a loss, the distributor, a profit.

The lion's share of profit at the retail level was garnered from what were called "catalogue" releases, stuff that was not a "new release". These items were almost always sold at full price.

Funny, go for a walk up Yonge street today and most of the old building has been torn down, making way for the new Ryerson building.

... oh and here's a nice Canadian boy rockin his brains out!

Used to work the desk at the old 212 :blush: Sunday nights, another employee, Serge, would drive Sniderman around to all the top blues joints of the day; the Chicken Deli, Georges, etc... Toronto in the 70's and 80's was full of unique characters in the seedier side of life. Many would become top celebs later on.

You can't put on pogo music from the B-52's without putting in some of this.

misfish · December 16, 2010

Back in our younger days,this song was so fitting for B and I.

Tybo · December 17, 2010

Try this for Size.

bigugli · December 17, 2010

Now you've done it. I've been on an 80's bent all night.

Headhunter · December 17, 2010

Ok, here's one I'm pretty sure that many have not heard for quite a number of years... Canada's first "punk" band and a band that heavily influenced many that came after...

Ladies and gentlemen... I give you The Demics!
