"Well, no, I don't think hockey's as tough today as it was then. In fact, I think it's much cleaner than it was in the olden days. The protection is offered the players today, but in our day, why, if you got two minutes for giving a man a couple of stitches, why, that was all you would..."
Newsy Lalonde, sampled in the Rheostatics' Music Inspired by the Group of Seven (track 6)
I googled off into Rheostatics lyrics and found an article about their song, Queer. "I scored a hat trick on the team that called you a fucking queer" is the ultimate hockey-town revenge. It's a gorgeous song, in three sections. It ends with this huge rock-out swell over a dark, submerged monologue.
The guy who wrote the article, Joe Clark, is bloody annoyingly self-righteous, but then he'll say something interesting. Guess we'll see what the ratio is, since I've syndicated him on LJ as joeclark_fawny. I'm always going to like somebody who did a King Cobb Steelie interview after hearing they'd been remixed by someone (Sasha) with the same last name (Frere-Jones) as a typographer (Tobias).
Then again, he is the kind of guy who blogs about blogs, calls them Weblogs, and explains that they may consist of links, commentary, and personal narrative.
He obsesses about typography, and wrote a book about website accessibility, but his blog is physically hard to read. A lot of that's just me having difficulty with certain text, though. Hmph.
