Hey Folks, it's been along time since I've posted anything.
I just recently moved back to the Kingston "AREA" for a new job. It's nice to be back in this neck of the woods again (Best bass fishin' around)
Anyhow I just got a Call on my cell (it was just a hang up no one on the other end, but the number came up, so I decided to look up the number to see who it was, and low and behold it was listed as GORD SINCLAIR, no the odds of GORD being listed are very RARE, I just found it ammusing is all. Anyhow...that's my story and I'm sticking to it
Cheers folks
Brad

Odds (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Odds were a Canadian alternative rock band in the 1990s. The band's power pop style was frequently compared to that of American contemporaries such as Matthew Sweet. (The band is sometimes referred to as The Odds, although they were always credited on album covers as simply "Odds".)
The band was formed in 1987 in Vancouver, and consisted of vocalist-guitarists Craig Northey and Steven Drake, bassist Doug Elliott and drummer Paul Brennan. Band members claim the name came from one of them asking "...what are the odds we'll make it?" The band played up to 4 nights a week as a 1960s and 1970s cover band, Dawn Patrol while playing as the Odds on weekends, hoping for a big break.
That break came after they became disappointed in the Vancouver music scense, and relocated to Los Angeles. Here, they were spotted by Warren Zevon, becoming his touring band and studio band for one album before he helped them get signed to Zoo/BMG. They released their debut album, Neopolitan, in 1991. That album's most famous single was the controversial "Wendy Under the Stars", which featured the chorus I was fucking Wendy under the stars/The night that Elvis died. (A radio edit changed the lyric to "I made love to Wendy".)
In 1993, the band released Bedbugs, which attracted attention for its lead single "Heterosexual Man". The video for that song featured the band members performing in drag as participants in a beauty contest, with The Kids in the Hall (themselves often noted for drag performances) as the stereotypically macho judges.
Brennan left the band in 1994, and subsequently joined Big Sugar. He was replaced by Pat Steward, former drummer for Bryan Adams, and current drummer for Matthew Good and studio drummer for Limblifter.
The band followed up with Good Weird Feeling, their most commercially successful album, in 1995, which featured the hit singles "Truth Untold" and "Eat My Brain". "Eat My Brain" found a place on the Steven Drake-produced soundtrack to the Kids in the Hall movie Brain Candy. The Odds' final album, Nest, was released in 1996.
The band amicably broke up in 1999, releasing a greatest hits/singles compilation in 2000. Northey, Elliott, Steward and Simon Kendall subsequently formed the new band Sharkskin. Drake became a record producer, helming albums for The Tragically Hip, Kim Bingham, 54-40 and Static in Stereo. Northey has since become a songwriter for hire. In 2004, Northey collaborated with former Gin Blossoms frontman Jesse Valenzuela on the Northey Valenzuela album. The pair also recorded the theme song to the sitcom Corner Gas, "Not a Lot Going On".
In 2005, the members of Sharkskin backed the Hip's Rob Baker in the side project Stripper's Union Local 518.

Just had a "what are the odds" moment....sitting here at home on the computer, my fire-alarm goes off just as "Fire In The Hole" starts up....crazy stuff :thumb:
TACKING ON TO "ODD MOMENTS"
i was in a stripper bar in North Tonawanda, NY {my hometown} and this is a place that compared to Fort Erie and Niagara Falls, Ont is like Roseann Barr to {2 years ago} britney Spears. sad, i know.
But the stripper was dancing to "So Hard Done By' and actually got sick on stage. i was looing it and no one got it but me. i informed her that she got sick right around the line..." sorry i cant go on with this.'
she flashed a "what an asshole" glance and walked away. i love that story i just wish someone else had caught it at the time.

last week i was painting my ceiling, listening to yer favs, ahead by a century is on when the line "that's when a hornet stung me" was on, a frickin wasp buzzed out of an electric box into my face, i didn't get stung but i fell off the ladder. it was totally trippy...
I listened to Put It Off from Saskatchewan 1996.11.18 and then realized it was 6/6/6.
Obviously the odds of somebody mention "Satan" reminds me of 666 is fairly good.
