    	I wasn't too crazy about "Go for Soda" ... did he do anything
    	more than that?

433.2For me it's one of those 'radio gem' one-hit type tunesDREGS::BLICKSTEINMy other PC is a MacSun May 30 1993 23:528
    I *** LOVED* "Go for a Soda" but that's the only thing I've ever heard
    by him.
    
    Part of it is that I just LOVE the stratocaster sound on that record,
    but the tune really gets me too.  It had a pretty funny video on MTV
    too with this heavyweight teenager constantly endangering a miniature 
    Kim.

     	'Go For A Soda' is not the best example of his work, but it gives you
    an idea of the sound of the band. I recommend getting a hold of his
    most recent release "Aural Fixations". His previous release "Rockland"
    is also great but doesn't really rock. Other releases:
    
    			Akimblo Alogo
    			Missdemeanor (ep)
    			Shakin' Like a Human Bean
    			I am a Wild Party (live)
    
    	And check out his previous work with Max Webster (its a band not a 
    person). 
    	On Aural Fixations everything works, great songwriting, NO
    overplaying, great production, great vocals...but if you want to see
    him live, I think you'll have to visit us up here. He doesn't seem too
    interested in going too far from home. He just plays during the summer
    too, does the domestic Mr. Mom scene in the winter..

    If he was the guitarist with Max Webster in 1979, I'll vouch for his
    earlier work. We used to hear their music a lot when we played clubs in
    the Upstate NY/PA/S. Ontario region. I thought they had only one album
    out at the time, though.
    
    Anyway, speaking of bands Canadian--what ever happened to
    the band 'FM' (Nash the Slash and Cameron Whatzisface) ? I occasionally 
    hear 'One O'Clock Tomorrow' (mostly on my own stereo) and I still like
    the second half of that tune...

    A true Canadian would always know that 
    
    	- Kim Mitchel is a "he"
    and
    	- Joni Mitchel is a "she"
