Although I did get weary of "Echo Beach" being played to death on the radio, I couldn't get enough of "Swimming." CBC Radio broadcast a concert of the same material, track for track, and I remember it as a giddy affair. On vinyl MatM seemed like such a controlled force, but on stage they were clearly out to enjoy themselves as much as the audience was.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-27936727648425322862010-09-17T08:16:49.114-04:002010-09-17T08:16:49.114-04:00Since Canadian cities have a solipsism peculiar to...Since Canadian cities have a solipsism peculiar to themselves, I hadn't heard about the CHUM 100 until I moved to Toronto, where the chattering classes seemed to consider it <i>THE</i> final word on the Canadian pop palate. To my eyes, the list itself didn't look at all different from the top 100 lists put together by the pop stations in Winnipeg (actually, unless I'm mistaken I believe CHUM owned a Winnipeg FM station, too).<br /><br />For Canadian bands, however, CHUM was a very big deal. Right up into the late 80s, scoring airtime with CHUM was a Canadian act's best shot at success and longevity.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-48103029455563452292010-09-17T08:08:07.982-04:002010-09-17T08:08:07.982-04:00From the 1980 CHUM list, #47 from Martha & The...From the 1980 CHUM list, #47 from Martha & The Muffins.

Daniel Lanois on production, "Women Around the World the World at Work", "Swimming", "Casualties in Glass", "Boy Without Filters", "You Sold the COttage"...... still have the vinyl somewhere, may have to spring the big bucks for the CD.

Like all theories of the world it's overly simplistic (I think in any given year you can always find a couple of gems) but I think in generalities it seems to hold true. <br /><br />At any rate, that theory seems more true to me than the idea that music has been in an inevitable decline since a certain year.Joel Swagmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948746083822200906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-89557833478078439382010-09-16T17:47:26.411-04:002010-09-16T17:47:26.411-04:00I announced my intentions before I began composing...I announced my intentions before I began composing -- if that's not a no-no in the blogosphere, it probably should be. Sorry about that.<br /><br />The Rolling Stone piece: that's the one where the writer/interviewer sheepishly admits that the magazine that sent him hasn't been particularly <i>receptive</i> to the band. The trio's response is quite generous, all things considered. Actually, I <i>bought</i> that issue (Obama's on the cover) -- probably the first RS issue I've purchased in at least a dozen years.<br /><br />As for the regard of Canadians, I'm not sure I could say if it's changed at all over the decades since <i>Permanent Waves</i>. Their concerts have usually been filled to capacity, even during the synthesizer years (which elicits Lifeson's only hint of bitterness in the doc). But my sense is that public love for the band definitely surged in Canada when they returned to the studio and stage after Peart's tragedies. We'd all thought it was over, and apparently so did the band.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-56601197940572671002010-09-16T14:49:02.738-04:002010-09-16T14:49:02.738-04:00Great article.
