not too sure how i came across joel plaskett's most excellent 07 release ashtray rock , but im guessing the recommendation came from some filthy canadian cause thats where he hails from. anyway, said release is an awesome pop/rock record filled with huge hooks, high energy, great lyrics and all the while being a concept record. you can read about the story line here via wikipedia. anywho, mr plaskett has teamed up with shotgun jimmie - who i have never heard of, for a split 73 that was just recently released via new scotland records .

I was digging around my desk today, searching for some notes I took during a meeting before the holidays. About 3/4 of the way through the mess I found a piece of paper that had "Joel Plaskett Fashionable People" scribbled into the bottom corner. Knowing that I only record the most important information on the corners of work documents, I headed over to YouTube to have a look. I have no idea how I forgot about this song, or even when I originally heard it, but I am hooked on it. The track in [...]
Looking For A Female Spandex Buddy - 24 (Columbus, OH.) Reply to: pers-807215244@craigslist.org Date: 2008-08-21, 9:01PM EDT Basically, I'm looking for a lady who likes making out in spandex, leggings, tights and pantyhose. Both you and I should share an interest for wearing tight clothes. We could also casually wear it around public and take pictures. If this sounds fun to you, let me know! Sex is not necessary to enjoy each other's company. ****** Sex may not be needed [...]
Ten years after Ol' Blues Eyes exited the world stage, a compilation of his movie songs reminds us of his signature vocal talents, but lacks vital context on Sinatra himself.
Joel Palskett fué lider y fuerza creativa de Thrush Hermit, banda de los 90 que no gozó de demasiado éxito fuera de su país y tuvo una corta vida. Inició posteriormente una carrera en solitario con la que ha logrado un gran reconocimiento en su país, Canada, donde ha obtenido diversos premios, y que ha servido para confirmarle cómo uno de los mejores compositor pop-rock canadienses. Asthray Rock es su nuevo trabajo y probablemente el mejor, definido por su autor como "a mini rock opera" Fashionable People, single extraido de dicho album, ha obtenido el premio a la mejor [...]

by BrooklynVegan Mike The 2007 Canadian Polaris Music Prize winner will be announced on September 24, 2007. Canadian resident BrooklynVegan Mike discusses the nominees, and who he thinks might walk away with the monetary prize. Note: He wrote this a few weeks ago - it's all still perfectly relevant, but worth keeping in mind...... The Polaris Music Prize is nigh. In its second year the judges have the task of not only picking a winner from a competitive field [...]
I imagine that this is just another one of those "phases". It's like when I said I was going to learn how to sew (well) or play the guitar (well). Like when I promised myself I was going to stay fit, even after mandatory phys ed. classes or when I said that by the end of this summer, I'll have written the first few chapters of a novel. Lies! Lies! All of them! Thanks to my month-long attention span, blogging will likely soon join the list. Lemme lay down some details about what you're about to experience by [...]
Today is my wife Petra's birthday. Like any good husband, I rack my brain each and every year trying to come up with a romantic way to celebrate this occasion. This year I had a revelation, and that revelation appeared to me in dance form. I decided I would choreograph a sultry dance routine that P and I would perform to celebrate her birthday. I mean, who doesn't love dancing? Unfortunately, I quickly realized that I do not love dancing. I also realized I needed to find two kind people willing to stand in for us and perform the dance [...]
Joel Plaskett "Fashionable People" dir. by RT! [via antville] Director RT! avoids any hint of flashy or overwrought style, and ends up making one of the most charming and fun videos of the year. Plaskett performs for the camera with such ease, and this song is so darn catchy, it's surprising more people aren't talking about his recently released Ashtray Rock . The video begins with the cheesy idea of recreating the album cover for the camera and some [...]
