So is the music player on Gord's site/Facebook horrifically broken for anyone else?
How cool is this ...

"The font for the record is the Richler Font. It was created for and named after the great Mordecai Richler. The font is not publicly available. I am so grateful for a chance to honour the man and his family, to wear the look of his letters. Walla – a font guy – says, ‘a font tells you everything you need to know about what you are about to read before you read it.’
It was my friend, Daniel Richler, who took time out from work on his forthcoming novel, to ask his mother, Florence who so gracefully – and from what I can see, she knows no other way – said, ‘Yes.’ And ‘I do wish you the success it should illicit’ Florence wrote to me, ‘comparable to my appreciation.’
Daniel then consulted the font’s creator Nick Shinn (Shinntype) and the font’s Commissioner, Louise Dennys, (the Executive Publisher of Knopf Random Canada, who called the font ‘tough-minded and elegant’). They both said, ‘Okay’

Of course, this puts me in a bit of a position; nervous-made and hoping that the words can honour the very letters they’re printed with."

Nope. Listening to The East Wind right now. So far: :thumb:
It keeps loading the blank player, then saying "too many users" when I try to click on things. Hmph.

I had problems with the player on his site but Facebook is working fine.

The same thing will happen on facebook too, but you eventually get in.
Sweet song. I love The Country of Miracles' "melodic wall of sound" style. Fuck, it's time to dive back into the GD albums again!
Downie's site isn't working still. It's a good thing I don't need a Facebook account to listen to it there.
Finally got it working on Facebook - good tune! Frustrating to have to try for over an hour before I was able to listen to it, though (FB wasn't working for me either).

Are you behind a fire wall?

You have two players to choose from. do either work?

they are the same player, actually, same as the Hip player, so functionally, if one works, they should all work. . .

MAv.

Sorry dude. I try. . . . MAv.
Holy crap, this is really good. This wasn't really what I was expecting (I mean, of course I was expecting it to be good... just not as rocking).
What a fantastic song.

:music
Where does one find it on Facebook?
Found it. Never mind.
