Ho!
Hi! Beaver here. Apparently some of you doubt the reality of my existence. Well, I assure you that my existence is painfully real. Jamming with the boys is going great. The tunes are rocking and we get along okay. We’re all cut from a similar cloth, only mine is younger, less haggard and not stained with urine. Anyways, I can’t wait to rock the shit out of your faces in the coming months. Peace.
Jord stinkies echo through cold prairie air
Hello, Keyboard Clicking Nerds!!
Well the summer is offically over. Four days ago I was at the beach and now it is colder than Frosty The Snowman’s carrot!
We’re about to post the dates for our Ontario/Quebec tour so keep your eyes peeled. The shows are just being finalized right now! My gotchies are on fire with anticipation!!! UK/Ireland shows are being booked as well. We’ll be hitting Belfast this time too! That is wicked! who knows where the wind will take us next! I can only dare to dream!
In Canada anybody who has any songs that get played anywhere from college radio(in our case), to the most idiotic romantic movie can sign up and make sure they get any royalties that would be owed to them. A Canadian copyright collectve called SOCAN are the folks who do it. We were contacted about our song “Speculative Fiction” being chosen for their “Echo creative songwriter” contest. After being assured it had absolutely no corporate sponsors or any behind the scenes B.S. We hesitantly agreed. I think the tipper in favor of the contest was the 5 G’s we’ll get if we win. hahah.….
So despite the fact that voting polls are getting out of hand these days and voting for songs is absolutely pointless. We offer you, our good buddies, the chance to vote for us at this website.
We will be donating a hefty, hefty chunk of cash to either the Haiti Action Network or one of the other community groups we are involved with here in Winnipeg if we should win. You can vote once a day if you want until 4:59 on October 12th/2006. Please help us help ourselves. We owe a lot of bad people a lot of money…hahahh.
Propagandhi touring eastern Canada and UK!!!
Chris and I have just finishing booking flights to the United Kingdom to play shows in England, Ireland and Scotland! We are excited. These good times will be going down starting December 6th. All shows are still being lined up over there by our mate, Sean.
Also on the agenda is Ontario and Quebec starting in Thunder Bay on the 15th, 16th, or 17th (ed. he means in October — Jesus H. Chris) . I can’t rememeber.These shows are being lined up here in the zero hour and will feature the bands GFK and Hiretsukan and some others. This trip is going to rip as we show off our new buddy,The Beave. watch for details. They will be coming your way any day now. Jamming with The Beave is sounding so good. It’s way, way better. I look forward to hearing that dual, thick, full, guitar ripping everyday.
Thunder Bay was the first show I ever played with Propagandhi. Afterwards we weren’t sure whether to kick me out of the band, laugh, cry, beat the shit out of me, flush me down the toilet, or, in the face of total humiliation, play the next show. hahhaha.. We hope Beaves first effort goes a little better than mine did. I’m sure it will.Beave seems to have the memory of an actual living human. All I remember is thinking. “What the hell’s the next note?…oops missed it..too late..what’s next..oh, i forget..oops…” haha.. Those were the good old days. sniff, sniff… Anyway, we purposely picked Thunder Bay in which to bring thunder to once again!! Well, maybe last time we brought enough lightning to power one lap of a little car around a tiny figure 8 race track. This time though you’d better Watchit!!!! Saturday is the last day of the mighty Central Park market here in Winnipeg. It’s going to be a special one featuring 4 groups of dancers from El Salvador and Guatemala! It will be rocking. Apparently, I am the MC for the day. haha.…. Hairhole will be doing the sound. This years market was the tester to iron out some problems and figure stuff out before next years “real” market begins. Come one come all! Every single time this year was fun as hell for me. A small germination of next years devastation. Ha. The total and utter power of music becomes most apparent to me at the market. When we play a song from a country where someone walking by is from they stop to dance, sing, or talk. If you type in the word “Soobax” on youtube.com you can check out the singer K’naans music video. He is a market favorite. This is the greatest song in the known world. Also check out his explaination of the song shortly after. The market is rocking when K’naan comes knocking, I’ll tell you that! Also, check out the new Nomeansno record, check out the ruling new Salif Keita record. We’ll have another update and tour dates right away. Keep your eyes peeled!!! ‑Scrod.
Guess who's back (and brought a friend)?
Well, hello there! Remember me? What’s that? Where’s Glen Lambert, you ask?
HE’S BEEN CANNED, that’s where he is. The stupid fuck has been canned.
There’s a new sheriff in town and his name is me and The Beaver.
Tour dates in Ontario and Quebec in October to be announced soon, so drain the tub and clean your cornhole cuz we’re bringing the ruckus, muthafuckus.
A Glorious Day In the World.
Hello, Everyone! This week we can add add one 15,000 ton Mediterranian Sea oil spill to the wreckage that is still the historic country of Lebanon. Israeli jets attacked a storage tank at a Lebanese power plant. The spill has affected more than 100 kilometers of the Lebanese coast. “The spill could affect the health and livlihood of the Lebanese as well as the status of the marine environment in the region.” The spill could reach Greece, Turkey and Cypress! Let’s hear it for wars and environmental destruction!!! Let’s hear it for completely obliterating countries full of millions of people as well as marine and land animals!! Fill the skies with smoke, fill the seas with oil!!! that’s what reasonable people do! We have to make the world safe right? If we bomb millions of people then they’ll understand that we are all peaceful people and they should follow our lead! Is that what I’m to understand? good. Now I understand. Anyway, before I start talking about other things that are biting my nards I’ll mention, once again, that our market in Central Park, Winnipeg will be going again this weekend. There will be dancers from El Salvador as well as our usual does of “world music” and good times. If you feel the need to buy a nice African dress or some stuff from Guatemala we got the best in town. Never do I leave Central Park with out having one heck of a good time under my belt. The Winnipeg Sun and Mayor Sam “Uglyman” Katz have both pathetically tried to say that the “Critical Mass” bike riders held up an ambulance during last fridays bike parade here in Fartzville. Yeah, if “held up” means “got out of the way right away.” So many times in this band we have witnessed things first hand and then seen the paper twist it into something different. It does not give us much hope or faith in the “press” that is for sure. Anyway. Once again Winnipeggers have something to cry about while they’re listening to the radio in their S.U.V.‘s. The Sun story can occupy their little brains while they’re holding up traffic, as well as ambulances in their nightly traffic jam ritual. Finally, Some weirdo made this funny video for, “Superbowl Patriot”, one of the wackier songs off our latest record. Enjoy!… Then go back to thinking about that oil spill.….

Human Shields
So I’m sure everyone has heard by now about the most recent bombing of civilians in Lebanon at the hands of Israeli’s bombs.
Israel’s response is the usual meaningless “oops, sorry” followed by the rationalization that tragedies such as this are “inevitable” because Hezbollah are operating within civilian populations, using said civilians as “human shields”.
Let’s remember where this kind of rationalization for death and destruction leaves us, especially considering that every Jewish Israeli over the age of 18 must serve in the military, effectively rendering every single person in Israel a “human shield” for the Israeli war machine.
Accordingly, will the deaths of bystanding grandmothers and children in Israel also be considered simply “inevitable” when Hezbollah’s equally stupid and brutal rockets reach populated areas?
