In honor of the new CD I must get this off my chest:

SLOAN RULES!!!

SLOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!

If you haven’t picked up the new CD yet - by all means get it now, man! Great stuff. Maybe not as good as Twice Removed - but I’m liking it more each time I listen to it - which has been about 20 times since last night 🙂

I’m a big Sloan fan. My favorite release by them is One Chord To Another with the bonus live party CD. I didn’t care for their Between The Bridges release, so I’m a bit wary of anything new by them. I’ll probably check it out though.

If you didn’t dig BTB you may want to “try before you buy” on this one.

Check out “If It Feels Good Do It,” “It’s in Your Eyes,” and “Your Dreams Have Come True.”

I liked the song “underwhelmed” a lot but haven’t heard much else. I will have to check em out.

Sloan are still together? They had such potential, but Navy Blues really sucked.

I have to say their tour is a little strange. They’re playing the Croatian Cultural Centre when they come to Vancouver in November.

WTF???

I got a copy of “smeared” back in college, but then they fell off of my radar. Then I picked up a copy of  
“3 chords and the truth” a few years ago, and sold it soon after. I wasn’t very impressed.

Oh, yeah, I loved that character. So cute and perky, sitting in the hot tub in her underwear while Cameron was all catatonic about his dad’s sports car being toast…

what?

I don’t think **Sloan** will take it personally. “Three chords and the truth” is by **Sara Evans** dude.

Did you mean “One Chord to Another?”

No, it was a special import that was only made in Myanmar in 1994 and then the record company abruptly burned down during the first day of it’s printing. There’s only 58 known copies. You mean you don’t have yours? And you call yourself a FAN?

:o

Yes, “One Chord to Another” is what I meant. You can obviously tell how impressed I was with it. 🙂

I just never get tired of hearing that. You’d think I would, but I don’t.
