The collection, due out on Friday (May 21) is made up of tracks written in 1990, five of which were laid down during the Road Apples sessions in New Orleans, according to a press release. The sixth one is a live version of "Montreal" recorded at The Molson Centre in Montreal on Dec. 7, 2000; it was also written around the same time, but the band has yet to find the original recording. "With no shortage of material and higher ups at the American record label resisting the band’s call to release a double album, countless tracks were left behind on the studio floor," reads a statement about the collection. "And so one album, Road Apples, heads out into the world, a rung on The Tragically Hip’s climb to legend status, while the rest of the tracks are tucked into boxes and moved out of sight." 1991's Road Apples was the second studio album from the Canadian rock band fronted by beloved late singer Gord Downie, who died in Oct. 2017 at age 53 from brain cancer; the band retired the name a year later. "Welcome to Saskadelphia: the record that stayed in the wings as Road Apples hit the stage," the release continues. "The title, a term coined by the band in a nod to the extensive touring they were doing in the early 1990s, was the original working title for Road Apples before it was rejected by those same label execs as being 'too Canadian.'" “I went ‘Wow’ when I heard ‘Ouch’ after all this time,” said guitarist Rob Baker. “We were a pretty good little band," with drummer Johnny Fay explaining why the band felt they needed to share the three decade-old recordings with fans. “We didn't know what was there, so this meant baking them and listening to them as they were being transferred," Fay said. "Hearing them for the first time in 30 years was crazy.” The tracks include: "Ouch," "Not Necessary," "Montreal," "Crack My Spine Like a Whip," "Just As Well" and "Reformed Baptist Blues." The band will receive the 2021 Humanitarian Award Presented by Music Canada at the 50th annual Juno Awards on June 6 in Toronto.

You would have long, grey hair too if Rex Ryan was your brother.

I'm thinking comparable numbers to last season. Josh will be close to 5000 yards but I think he'll fall just shy. What I think would be most amazing is that Diggs, Beasley, Sanders, and Davis will all be over 1000 yards receiving. When was the last time a team had 4 1000 yard receivers in the same season?

Since A's President Dave Kaval freely posted this on Twitter, it's my duty to share with y'all. His email is president@athletics.com. I'll be writing him in the next couple of days. Feel free to do the same.

JP Fitzgeralds is in the village of Hamburg, and they're always hoping. Pre-Covid anyways. LInky link

This is like 2 years old, well before Covid Just looked up the date the video was posted, September 27, 2019

We need another Thurman type on the Bills. Signed, the guy who started the Jim Kelly thread.

Let's trade Wade and a 2nd for Etienne. Fair trade.

My mom passed away in 2019. Would a get out of jail card signed by my wife work in its place?

I would like to see the Chargers and Herbert do well. At least beat the Chiefs and Raiders twice.

My wife and I were in NOLA during the National Championship Game in 2020. Quite honestly I was expecting a LSU fan onslaught, and it was anything but. We saw a group of LSU fans in the country bar we stopped into, and saw a group of LSU students throwing beads from a balcony on Bourbon Street. But really the only sign that there was a national championship game going on was the Media Zone down by the river. Turned a parking lot into ESPN Zone, FOX, and others had huge booths. Fun seeing that while enjoying our morning Beignets.

And the trash can that was the Astros!

I'm in the camp of trading Singletary and a 3rd to Jax for Etienne. I'm just not ready to give up on that.

I'll talk to my wife to see if she wants to go. Not sure as we need a boat load of money for my stepdaughters wedding next year. (We're paying for the reception).

Well that was a nice idea, but wifey just put the "no" on this. Can't blame her reasoning. For Thanksgiving 2018 and 2019, she was unable to eat any Thanksgiving dinner due to cancer treatments. Last year, Covid and no family. So she's looking forward to this Thanksgiving with family and able to to eat the turkey and homemade stuffing. Maybe she'll let me buy like an 85" TV for post-meal football.

I just told my wife about this, and her reply was, "hmmm.... interesting". So it's not a flat out no. There is hope for me yet! (Shush @Hapless Bills Fan)

Well Kyler was drafted by the A's and they still hold his MLB rights...

That A's are willing to fund a new ballpark themselves. It's just if they move, they're kind of back to square one. They have had measures on ballots for environmental impacts, etc. All has been approved. Just the leadership of Oakland is once again, messing this whole thing up.

The management in Oakland have told Oakland city leaders they will pay north of $1 Billion plus and $500 Million in upgrades in infrastructure and housing at the new ballpark site (at Howard Terminal) as well as redevelopment at the Coliseum Site. But in typical Oakland leadership, they are dragging their feet and bringing up what is wrong with the A's plan. Major League Baseball it seems, has had enough. Would a good team like the A's be able to make it in the Buffalo market? How much of a fight would the Blue Jays and Yankess put up keeping another major league team from coming into their markets? I would personally love this as I am a long time A's fan, and all Terry has to do is sell off more land to fund this. Curious as to what you all think.

I have read through the main points of this thread. In conclusion, at 6:30 am, I am going into the freezer for Fireball.

That is standard for classical guitar. I did take classical guitar lessons like 30 years ago, and my teacher had like 3 inch finger nails on his right hand. But classical guitarists are playing nylon strings. Quite a different thing to be using your fingernails on metal wound bass strings.
