There we go... the first official Linger poster since before I met yo' momma! Still tonnes of time to enter the Linger contest. Just visit their MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/lingerbandcanada, and e-mail pilot@pilotsworld.ca your vitals and the names of the two songs featured on their playlist. It could net you a couple free tickets to this show and a free CD!

Magic 103.5 FM is the coolest radio station on the freaking planet.

OK FOLKS. So last week, I finally got my name entered into the draw for tickets to see the Tragically Hip in Regina. I'd been trying all month to get my name in, so was quite releived when I got in. To my shock, the next day, I would learn that I won the tickets to see the show!

So off the g/f and I ran to the Brandt Center to see the show. We ran into premier Lorne Calvert and his wife at the show. Rhonda had mentioned that she was a hardcore NDPer, little did I know that her family and the Calverts often popped each others back acne.

Anyhoo, the show was a SMASHING success and I'd like to share with everyone a video I took at the show



So once again, thanks to Magic 103.5 and especially the kickass staff at the morning show, GREG AND LAURA IN THE MORNING FOREVER!!!

Can You Name that Compilation?!!?

Ok folks, here's the thing. We're sitting here brainstorming trying to remember the name of an old compilation album from the mid-late 90's. We know for a FACT it had "Detachable Penis" by King Missle on it. We also believe the album to have on it "Say it Ain't So" by Weezer and "Hey Man, Nice Shot" by Filter.

The first person to e-mail me a correct answer to this question (and thus satisfy my aching brain) will recieve two tickets to the Linger album release party slated to happen in late March.

So get on it folks.

Submit answers to pilot@pilotsworld.ca. This is in ADDITION to the other contest. This is just for free tickets and it's to the album release, not the show on the 16th.

Best of Luck.

OH LINGER LINGER LINGER -- CONTEST!

OK FOLKS! I just got the call from the majors. The legendary (and endlessly sexy) Linger has asked me to join them in the capacity of bass player (live at least) and we are performing February 16, 2007 at the Exchange in Regina!

So in order to display how FREAKING STOKED I am about this whole development, I am having another kickass PILOT'S WORLD CONTEST!!! This contest is kickass easy to enter. All you have to do is head over to the Linger MySpace Page ( http://www.myspace.com/lingerbandcanada ), check out their two songs and e-mail the names of those two songs to me at pilot@pilotsworld.ca with all your vitals. I'll have an impartial draw on Feb 9 and inform the winner by e-mail then make arrangements.

So what is the prize?

Glad you asked! It's so good, it's a prize PACKAGE!
- Free admission to the show on Feb 16th at the Exchange for you and a friend
- Free ride to (and from) the show from anywhere between Weyburn and Regina for you and a friend.
- Free copy of their latest release and first full length album, "The Root of Truth"
- Meet and greet with the band.
- If there's an after-party, I'll try and get you invited.

The only catch with the contest is if you aren't actually IN Regina, your ride in will be early afternoon Sat, and back will be about the same time Sunday, and I don't think I have accommodations for you in Regina... so if you bring your own wheels, you'll still get the rest of the prize pack.

The band isn't putting up any of the prize pack (as it stands), but I told them (Dave) about the contest, so they might just put up some extras. So go check out the page today and get those entries in today!!!

Must - Buy - Windows - 386

Microsoft sent this tape to retailers to explain the benefits of Windows 386. Boring until the 7 minute mark when the production is taken over by crack-smoking monkeys.

I like that kind of crappy 80's white corporate rap.

But I am NOT going through this alone.

Busy Bumblebee

Hey folks. I haven't been posting because I hate y'all !!!!

Also I've been very busy. At the moment I'm in the old studio with Linger. They finally cracked and let me play bass on one song on the album. Just waiting my turn to go in the booth and wreck 7 years of work.

If you want to know more about Linger, visit your local library or check out their MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/lingerbandcanada/.

Also.. .sorry Matt Smith for calling you Mike Smith... It appears I'm a retard.
