Watching this clip, I now find it would be extremely hilarious if HFXNSHC were to be the next single... Do a three or four-camera shoot in an alley somewhere in Halifax, or some kind of whitish area, and do the same type of jerky/quick-shot video proposed in this clip. I'd be laughing my head off if it were to happen... although it just might blast them to the top of the US charts! Still, there's something to be said of a medley of "Can't You Figure It Out" and "Set In Motion" for the UK... (Mike, are you reading this?)
the funny thing about watching Chris drum is that he's always one missed hit away from completely coming derailed...I know he fancies himself quite the drumming hot-shot, but it's really funny...
Stu Sutcliffe played most of the time, just not well. Have you heard the earlier Beatles stuff...atrociously produced (circa 1960). You won't get many Beatles fans saying this. Andrew plays much better air guitaring than Stu ever did actually playing.
Patrick: Kickass! I feel 19 again! Jay: Why won't these chumps let me play "I Wanna Thank You" live anymore? Andrew: Chris is going to fuck this next part up. Chris: Andrew is going to fuck this next part up--if he's even playing.
It's funny that Patrick should write a punk-rock song....my older sister loved alternative rock( and her favourite band was Sloan in 1995). As the years have passed, my sister has turned into a Ska/Punk queen. She still loves Sloan though, and we're going to the Kool Haus on Friday!!! I HAVE to get her to listen to HFXNSHC....and get her opinion. I think it adds a fun twist to Sloan's repertoire. :)

What does HFXNSHC mean? Here's a shot in the dark:
HFX= Halifax
NS= Nova Scotia
HC=?? (Hears Chris, High Command, Horticultural Club) What is it?

I think Andrew isn't even playing. He's doing a Stu Sutcliffe.

They played this last night in Moncton. It was frantic
Chris is hilarious on the drums. He's too busy hamming it up for the crowd to worry about keeping time ;)
he's fun to watch

That editing was so annoying. Everything else was great.

Sloan thoughts during that song:
Patrick: Kickass! I feel 19 again!
Jay: Why won't these chumps let me play "I Wanna Thank You" live anymore?
Andrew: Chris is going to fuck this next part up.
Chris: Andrew is going to fuck this next part up--if he's even playing.

I'm sure it's many things, but it's a mini tribute to 12XU by Wire, right? The way they say it at the end?
