Pretty good Beat;

NOAR moeman!
DeleteAaaaand manohman, I loved the English Beat (and the offshoots: General Public, FYC too, for that matter) in my two-tone youth. Thank you for sharing!
Young'uns: If any out there want to hear a piece of musical genius that truly defies explanation, look up Mirror in the Bathroom. If you want true moral authority that rings even more vitally today than ever, look no further than If You Have a Racist Friend #MadRespect
True stuff there SiM.
DeleteThe review also speaks to Roger's 'politics'.
Great read here for ska newbies (I've been one since the late 70s);

Oh Yeah! Check out Battle of Old Saints Road live from Channel 4 circa 1988
Delete"That's bryllcream, baby, Pomade!"
"It's the booze that picks you up / and throws you 'gainst the wall"
Noice.
DeleteRaquel!! Merci, moeman!
ReplyDeleteMerci Raquel!!
DeleteStay cool FHErs...NOAR!
ReplyDeleteDropped to the low 20s today. Breezy cool.
DeleteTGISF y'all. Love the panda and take me to your ladder.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Raquel?!
Delete'British singer-songwriter Elvis Costello announced on Friday he was cancelling the remainder of his European tour after revealing he had undergone surgery for cancer.'
ReplyDeleteGET WELL ELVIS!
... and FUCK CANCER!
DeleteTotally! Declan be well! Sending you Oliver's Army to speed things along!
Delete@billybragg
DeleteAnyone who has seen Elvis Costello play will know he puts a huge amount of energy into his live shows, so it's understandable that he would cancel a few gigs to focus on recovering from cancer surgery. He's one of my musical heroes and I wish him well.
I have never had the pleasure, but on TV you can tell, especially when it's in tribute to a late friend
DeleteOh man. Hope he licks it.
DeleteGreat SF two things caught my eye (google search result) "beautiful sexy and alluring ladies" and the rowboat, photo or painting?
DeleteGet well Elvis, one of the go to albums of my best years
DeleteI used to watch a show he had Friday nights on CTV. I really enjoyed it but the name escapes me.
DeleteThere are new gene therapy treatments that are magic. Incredibly expensive but they take the HIV virus and use it to target cancer cells. You can be sure all the rich old fucks in their 90's are doing it. They still die cause they are 90 years old. For Elvis it should be another 30 years of red shoes.
DeleteNOAR indeed!
ReplyDeleteWe finally got Alex Burrows! Asst coach in Laval. Bergevin just keeps hitting them out of the park.
Holy crap.
Deletecaractère
DeleteSorry, the new buzz word is 'attitude'
DeleteTurns out Burrows and Bouchard are good buds.
ReplyDeleteYep in true fashion L'OBC lives on miring us deeper in Bergy & Co.'s muck.
Deletewhen we pick third overall 7 years into a five year plan, you call TonyRobbins.
DeleteI dont know much but I know in bed I am a man and so is LOLA.
ReplyDeleteThere are by my bad math including us at least 6 teams in total tank mode for Hughes, may the best Tank win, and that is for sure not being last overall. I will take another 2 or 3rd finish and call the season sucessful.
Bobcat and his gang of Toronto SFUckers were discussing the Habs and the other Canadian teams tonight for a bit. They pretty much agreed the Habs are fucked and the Weber injury pretty much seals it.
ReplyDeleteI wish Molson and bergevin would have the balls to admit the rebuild is on, take a page from Shana-sham and bab'scock and tell us up front it's going to hurt for a while. It might actually build some good will with the fans.
They lack the balls. Or fortitude. Or brains. Or President of Hockey Operations to make that call.
Delete#MolsonHasFailed
I say PIVOT take a DIVOT and sign PatCHes. He is useful at the very least. Somehow he is the Captian a job he has done in our hot market ok. Lets sign this dude. Part of a tank, he can be the observer.
ReplyDeleteI started blogging about 2012 and I find out someone in 2006 was Thinkingaboot, I need a lawyer.
ReplyDeleteI want to know four things before I pass.
1) who killed JFK
2) what happened at Roswell
3)what happened 911
4) Why was PFK Traded
To add to our BBQ problems its been reported that TFS has the yips and will not recover until 2020
ReplyDeleteCarey Price's biggest problem is named AlznerBennSchlemko.
DeleteSounds like a law firm. I might hire them to defend me in the court of law but not on the ice.
DeleteIf I am any of those three I am spending my entire off-season on conditioning and foot-speed training so my career isn't toast.
DeleteWow, the Canadiens actually hired a unilingual anglophone as the defence coach. The francophone SFUckers will have a meltdown.
ReplyDeleteI say welcome, Luke Richardson, a breath of fresh air for a beleaguered Habs squad.
Yeah, but did you notice it's only for 1 year?
DeleteI must have read it wrong somewhere. Don't know who long the contract is.
DeleteEx leaf and Ottawa native Luke Richardson to coach Habs' D
ReplyDelete"Luke has tremendous experience, both as a player in the NHL and as a coach. He also had the opportunity to work internationally with Hockey Canada, which gives him excellent credibility among young players." - Bergevin
Well as long as he's credible to the kids in the lineup. Is he on Snapchat is the big question.
I think he is a Marvel superhero's alter ego. He has the name and look for it.
DeleteOver at the SFU cesspool, they show the top remaining UFAs still looking for work. Among them are some used up Dmen, Brooks Orpik, described as old and slow (would fit perfect with Karlzner) and ... (Y)!! Fuck, this is right in bargainbin's dumpster diving wheelhouse!!
ReplyDeleteJack Todd needs to take an adovan or smoke some weed... Weber doesn't need a retired sports journalist to defend him. And don't blame the fans for being pissed off. Blame Geoff Molson for hiring an incompetent gm. How is this transparency thing going anyway?
I just read it before coming here. I don't like his attitude.
DeleteThe Twitter trolls are really getting to him. FWIW he is right. Bergy has been making decent moves this summer. At least he is setting the table for after he is shown the door.
DeletePatCHes for Karlsson? Anybody?
ReplyDeleteA puck-moving, risk-taking, offensive D man? Doesn't fit their modus operandi.
DeleteThe Montreal media are trying to present hope to fans by putting a positive spin on all these new coaching hires and I can't blame them. The problem is they don't play the games so we shall see if the players can match up to the rest of the league. On paper, it doesn't look good. Remember, julien and bergevin are still at the head of this trainwreck.
ReplyDeleteAs Red Fisher used to say: "Show me the players!"
“We weren’t ready to announce that,” Molson said. “We really weren’t. Then finally we were. That is transparent as far as I’m concerned. I didn’t know the potential date of his return until 48 hours (before the surgery was revealed)...
ReplyDeleteAm I missing something? How could Molson know 48 hours BEFORE the surgery if they only knew when they went in for a scope and only saw the extent of the damage then? We were told BBQ only knew when he woke up after the operation.
Never mind. Reading comprehension problem.
DeleteIn case you missed it. Breaking news.
ReplyDeleteGotta See It: First glimpse of John Tavares skating with Auston Matthews
Now I don't know any Croatian, however I did a bit of research and if you see anyone today sporting the Croatian flag here are a couple of standard greetings that should work: "Erin go bragh," or simply, "Hallo, Irish!"
ReplyDeleteI've heard coach Julien unkindly referred to as Jabba the Hutt. Not sure it's fitting, he's actually the spitting image of Bill Dauterive. But, if that's the case we now have Jabba, Captain Kirk and Luke behind the bench.
ReplyDeleteFinish the punchline: Jabba the Hutt, Captain Kirk and Luke Skywalker walk into a bar...
Luke nic has to be Skywalker now or tudewalker? Dwalker
Deleteand they see Empty and the Flower
DeleteThey say to each other, Patches was the worst person that has not been in this local.
...and Luke says to Kirk (giving a side-nod at Jabba) "the stench is strong in this one!"
Delete...and Kirk says "Dibs on the green alien chick in the corner."
Delete...and Jabba says "Bring me Solo...cups full of tequila!"
DeleteSimon Depres says he asked himself where he wants to go to win a Cup. Montreal was the only team he had in mind. If I heard correctly, that was after his stint in the KHL.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised Dano isn't signed since he's close to BBB's heart.
ReplyDeletePlayed a tough 18 holes today at the Hampton Golf and Country Club in nearby Hampton, about 40km east of Saint John. It's a 6000 yd course with lush rough and lightning fast greens. It's feature hole is No. 6, a 666 yd par 6 which I managed to par. Whew, time for a wee dram...
ReplyDeleteNice. How's the back holding up?
DeleteI'm limited in how much I play. Very sore in the lower spine area when I'm finished. Some advil and rest plus a few days off take care of it. I'm not pushing it ... there's no hurry...
DeleteI've been battling a back issue for a month or so too. Broke down and finally let a chiropractor do a few 'adjustments' as they or so call them. Helped a bit but still not great. Going to try golfing next week to see what happens.
DeleteIt's amazing how shady buttman's NHL operates. How many "retired" players are the money sucking black hole Coyotes paying to do nothing? Arizona is where 13 year contracts go to be buried at the end.
ReplyDeleteI know I've vehemently said I'd not buy any Habs merchandise, but I saw young Mr Domi wearing a Ken Dryden mask t-shirt and thought I gotta get that for my brother, a HUGE 29 fan. So I tracked it down and also noticed they have this which I may need to purchase for myself as well:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.tricoloresports.com/us/thpc0214-t-shirt-poche-fils-maurice-richard.html
I like the design but not the style. (pockets on a t shirt) Would prefer just a crest on a T with same artwork. Many to choose from
DeleteWhen BBB ends up with a bag of pucks for PatCHes he'll surely blame the season Max had rather than his own incompetence of asset management.
ReplyDeletePicks and prospects only please. #Lose4Hughes
DeleteAlas, if they had a competent GM, fans wouldn't have to pin their hopes on someone he'd probably trade away or put a round peg in a square hole. Wash and repeat. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to get Hughes and BBB goes before then. Maybe he'll trade him for a 4-5 Dman, I just don't trust him to manage any of it.
DeleteLotta hate out there for bergevin. Can't say I blame people. He is incompetent and although I don't agree with Brendan Kelly all the time, he made an interesting point in his latest article. bergevin has trashed his 5 best players in negotiations. PK, gCHuk, CHe, Vodkov and now his captain. Other than Melnyk who the fuck does that? I guess a tear down and rebuild has been in the offing all along.
ReplyDeleteBergy is definitely not a pump and dump GM. More of a dump and dumpster. To his credit he spends 15 hours a day on the telephone looking the elusive best bottom six players.
DeleteI am about halfway through Westworld S2. Its very deep and its exposing the general population to thinkingaboot things. Good Sci fi starting with Gullivers Travels has always moved people into the future. Trump is the mule!
Danault gets just over $3mil per season on his new deal. What a steal for a #1 center!! bergevin for the win!!
ReplyDeleteLess than Lego got, I guess he is staying. I say its a good deal for a number THREE center.
DeleteDanault is #1 by default. He and the Turtleneck will be going head to head with Tavares and Matthews, Bergeron and Krecji, Stamkos and ... etc., etc.
DeleteI hope and pray they don't throw the new kid KO to the wolves right off the bat. No sense ruining him like they did gCHuk playing him as an 18 year old.
Exciting news from Earth One, CanadEH! T shirts are finally for sale No really they are already on sale $14 marked down from $20. I would like to thank Trump.
ReplyDeleteRIP Ray Emery. Way too young. Might not have liked him as a player but a family is grieving over the loss of a young man tonight.
ReplyDeleteRIP Death by Misadventure.
DeleteR.I.P. Was he the one who went after Holtby?
DeleteSo 3 mil a year for Dano sounds decent enough...but he isn't more than a 3rd line C to start with. Elevating his status to No. 1 C or even No. 2 is doing him more damage than needed. He'll play too many minutes against better players and it will wreck his confidence...but why would they do anything different.
ReplyDeleteHope y'all are staying cool as I hear the heatwave is ongoing. My part of the UK remains hot and dry so I am not complaining.
When I said Danault was the #1 center by default I had my tongue planted firmly in my cheek. I'm not wrong though. Who is the #1 center? Plekanec? Kotkaniemi? Poehling? Not a lot of options is there? OK, Drouin. But he's a left winger, a square peg being shoved into a round hole by the two stubborn chumps who are in charge.
Deletewe are in prime prime tank formation, do not screw this up
DeleteDano is like Lego, maybe some upside. Lets just tank and wait for the lottery.
Noice work by St. Pad!
