G7 Welcoming Committee Records. Uncooperative since 1997.
You appear to be using a shitty web browser. Brent suggests getting a better one.
I’ll tell ya what though … looks like episode 7 is up there now …
Posted by D-Rock on 08/14/06 (Shite)
Y’all know it’s too early in the summer to go without another episode of G7 radio. I bet sometimes you miss it so much you can hardly stand it. “G7 Radio … why can’t I quit you?!”
135 fragments of dialogue thus far ...

…
This financial madness astounds me!
…
But you still managed to crack me up so far. 13 minutes in and it’s as good as ever.
Comment by Justin on August 14th, 2006 at 5:19 pm:
Awesome episode as usual.
i hope that by saying tour dates will be posted in Ontario and Quebec, you also forgot to mention Saskatchewan.
Comment by Benjamin Grundy on August 14th, 2006 at 6:46 pm:
The fact that At The Gates is on this podcast makes my day. I haven’t heard that track in years.
Comment by Benjamin Grundy on August 14th, 2006 at 10:06 pm:
So are you guys actually in financial trouble or is this just another G7/Propag prank? If so how can I help?
Comment by greg on August 14th, 2006 at 11:24 pm:
at the gates are awesome. hopefully you guys get some money soon…..if shipping to the US wasn’t so expensive and i wasn’t so broke, i’d help you i swear!
Comment by gerty on August 14th, 2006 at 11:27 pm:
cheques in the mail. seriously it will be in a matter of days/weeks. I’m about 10 minutes in and fuck I just descided to hang up on the suicide help line, recycle the empty draino bottle and induce vomitting. It feels good to be myself again. Now physcologically I’m all curled up on my fake fur rug, with a bottle no box of coniac, shaw cable show of a fire place’s on and I’m indulging myself with heavenly hash icecream which has no actaul hash in fuck. too bad i’m out of draino. So speaking of indulging myself. The other day i was kneading my dough to Anderson Coopers more feminine features namely the vagina he calls a face and inbetween bitting my pillow and imagining why he doesnt have a first name but rather has two last names, I actually wondered hubristically what propagandhi would sound like with two guitarist!? I’m so fucking glad this all exists I got goosebumps when i saw all these updates. haha you know what a taint is!
Comment by gerty on August 14th, 2006 at 11:35 pm:
can i hear some removal sometime soon?
Comment by gerty on August 15th, 2006 at 12:24 am:
fucking unreal. you might get a second cheque. thanks for episode 7. ciao bella
Comment by drew on August 15th, 2006 at 1:31 am:
oh shit gerty, i got goosebumps too. hah. i wish my band was ready for a show, we’d play a G7 benefit. well i guess buying albums direct is the best way to support the label, so i’ll always continue to do that.
so i showed an episode to my mom and she said you guys were “cute.” just thought id share that with you.
Comment by soyuz on August 15th, 2006 at 2:00 am:
arrgh…i’m ready to kill myself even if it’s for a pathetic reason as this…i’ve been in the US for 6 years now never being able to catch a propagandhi show. i wasn’t here when they toured in august 2000. and i thought this was the best chance yet for me after the potemkin release. and they only ended up touring the west coast in the US late last year. didn’t have no money to travel, ya see. and now when they are finally touring this october, i am going to be in the other side of the world in the PRC (China). sucks…i have to go to the PRC…any tour dates to China? communisim, yo! i’ll probably never be able to see propagandhi in my lifetime…i know, it’s a shitty thing to even worry about when there’s so much other shit going on in the world. but when there’s that one band that changed your whole fucking life and you can’t never see em live. it sucks…down real deep.
anywho, i’m downloading the radio show..will listen soon. i guess propagandhi and me are always going to be a one-way long distance relationship. boo, fucking hoo.
Comment by Mathias on August 15th, 2006 at 3:39 am:
All the music in this show was fantastic. Basically just another great show, though it wasn’t as funny as the previous few episodes.
Comment by LJ on August 15th, 2006 at 4:26 am:
Amazing. The brokeback mountian sketch was so funny! Keep this up guys, seriously! And drew that G7 benefit is a pretty good idea… i may steal it and claim it was all my idea ;)
Comment by Jon on August 15th, 2006 at 6:18 am:
Good show, boyyyyyys. The Beaver? We’ll see hahaha.
Comment by Aaron on August 15th, 2006 at 6:51 am:
Mel Gibson said “I hate the JUICE” he was just misinterpreted because he was drunk. Everyone’s assuming he’s anti-semetic but he actually just disagrees with that twisted fucking juice industry and everything they’ve done through history to support and cause war. The juice runs the world.
I fully support Mel Gibson’s White Power Movement (MGWPM). The support of milk as a healthy and ethical alternative to the juice industry.
(sorry vegan-friends I can’t think of any other white liquids… oh wait now I can but I don’t feel like drinking that all the time)
Comment by Justin on August 15th, 2006 at 6:58 am:
“These aren’t cattle cars; they’re roller coasters!”
Fucking brilliant.
I’ll see you guys in Quebec this fall, even though I’m from the Chicago area (hooray for going to school abroad).
Speaking of which, Victory Records is THEE worst label in all of Chicago. It’s good to hear that this is known internationally!

Comment by caítlin on August 15th, 2006 at 8:20 am:
Ooh check me out, I’m famous. From hereon in I will only listen to media sources which mention me, oh yes. You mispronounced my name though! Nobody notices the poor fada.
Those accents were pretty impressive! Much better than the British ones.. I’m with Drew’s Mammy!
I’m really glad this episode was made, I was getting worried… it was as good as ever, and the Grassy Narrows thing was really interesting (plus Shelagh had a really nice lilty voice).
Does anybody know why beaver is used as a slang word for bajingo? I honestly don’t see why..
And Soyuz, that SUCKS :(
What about playing some Ramallah Underground stuff? http://www.ramallahunderground.com
Comment by marc on August 15th, 2006 at 10:37 am:
I love it (episode 7). I’ll donate what I can. :)
Comment by soyuz on August 15th, 2006 at 1:19 pm:
great show as always however the shortest so far…G7 Radio, i sure as hell can’t quit you. is there a way to sue record labels for hiding bands like Giant Sons in their vaults for years from the rest of the world. i sure would like to sue. i listened to the new Giant Sons mp3 and other songs on the New Music Canada website. they’re awesome. and david the beaver is joining Propagandhi. shock and awe for sure.
caítlin thanks for the sympathies. what does it take to get my name mispronounced on the show. i bet chris and derek can’t pronounce my name correctly. if they can, i’ll donate a “million dollars” to the G7 Crisis Fund (evil laugh).
Comment by mikea on August 15th, 2006 at 1:35 pm:
I too was getting worried: glad you’re keeping it up!
..there’d be a good way to make some cash for G7 while influencing many people’s lives in a positive way: by releasing new material from everyone’s favorite thrashing squad! i just can’t way to hear the double axe stack attack!
Comment by tom on August 15th, 2006 at 3:36 pm:

Catchlyn- isn’t it obvious?
Sympathy for you soyuz. Maybe i shouldnt say this but im planning on “going groupie” for the q-bec portion of the tour. i will follow them around offering free massages, or asking for massages from D-Rock(if he’s there) or the Beavman in exchange for large financial contributions to G7, though this might all fall through because i have a yeast infection.
Comment by tom on August 15th, 2006 at 3:37 pm:

Are north american and european women so drastically different?! Haha, I typed “beaver” into google and this came up:
http://www.mopo.ca/&...ng-beaver-710312.jpg
Soyuz - I’m sure you’ve thought of everything, but if your problem is immigration, have you ever thought of getting married to a citizen of wherever-you-are? Its what I’m planning to do when I flee this stupid isle.
Comment by Aaron on August 15th, 2006 at 4:49 pm:
I’m just gonna say it… Brokeback Mountain is a really good movie. I love the theme song from it too.
Why can’t I quit you G7 radio?
Comment by drew on August 15th, 2006 at 5:15 pm:
id like to say too that giant sons is some of the best music ive heard in a long long long time. the five songs i have are pretty much up there with mogwai for the best instrumental music ive heard.
as for the double axe stack attack, i think our faces are going to melt off. cant fuckin wait!
Comment by Yaniv on August 15th, 2006 at 9:28 pm:
Ok, that intro just stunned me. You guys induced a kind of laughter on me like I haven’t had in a quite while. One month, introducing G7 radio, we have for our listening pleasures two charming leprechauns; the next, two rednecks boasting on their intimate relationship as intertwined workers, spewing out brilliant, over-the-top digital releases from a diverse collection of disgruntled artists.
Once again, I fucking loved it. Another LONG month of irksome patience ultimately payed off.
Oh yeah, guys, about the financial situation, are you serious about that?
Comment by dumdiddee on August 15th, 2006 at 9:35 pm:
Well, i had written the farewell note and was about to set myself free with a noose when I decided to check the G7 site one last time and there it was, Episode 7, my savior. I wish it didn’t take so damn long to download.
I was at work when I first heard that Propagandhi had added a new guitarist and were finally hitting the road. I don’t know what came over me next. I shot out of my seat and did a full backflip, which was miraculous cuz I’m old and had never even attempted one before. Then I started hooting and hollering and skipping around my cubicle. Office security was called to the scene. Countless taser blasts and tranquilizer gunshots later, I was being wheeled out of the building on a stretcher like Hannibal Lecter in a straight-jacket and muzzle. The walls were splattered with blood and the floors littered with the limbs and organs of dead security guards.
g7 Radio, I really think i might be your #1 fan!
Comment by Michael on August 16th, 2006 at 12:08 am:
Chris… Propagandhi… you owe Australia!
That is all. Thank you.
(Another great episode too.)
Comment by gerty on August 16th, 2006 at 12:50 am:
hey kindred spirit dummidee zoloft, suicide-pacts and g7 radio number 1 fan-hood are my turf bitch.
Comment by soyuz on August 16th, 2006 at 3:16 pm:
hey…i saw that mico is in the current artists section in the band page. they were previously in the past section. so does that mean they’re back and will be releasing another record through g7. i hope so.
Comment by Jennifer on August 16th, 2006 at 7:02 pm:
brokeback mountain was a horrible movie but you guys did justice to it, whatever your intention was.
Comment by Hairhole on August 16th, 2006 at 8:24 pm:
Holy. Molly. Propagandhi is gonna be a four-piece?!?! I’m scared. I don’t know much about this new guy, but his name’s ‘Beaver’. You can’t deny that shit. Welcome aboard dude. I love you already.
The episode was another good ‘er too. That soup comment sure made me giggle and fart. I hope you’re joking about you guys being broke(back). Maybe I’ll order a Warsawpack c.d and that book on Anarchy afterall (my buddy and I hot-boxed our blanket fort with farts one night, and I carved an anarchy symbol onto my forehead and testicles, so I might as well see what all the fuss is about).
p.s Brokeback Mountain kicked ass
p.p.s the description on the Warsawpack record ’stocks and bombs’ about the Iraqi grandmother taking down the ‘coked-up, child-murdering American fighter pilot’ with a stinger surface-to-air missile is absolutely the best fucking thing I have ever read.
p.p.p.enis that Jesus H. Chris alias is hilarious. I miss Glen, but I sure love Jesus.

yea i noticed that too. that’d be cool.
Comment by dumdiddee on August 16th, 2006 at 10:36 pm:
finally got to listen to it. hands down the best one yet i say. the interview was informative and thought-provoking, and the “brokeback” intro was golden. nothing like intense laughter to keep the demons at bay for a while.
GERTY: it took dozen security guards all clubbing me and unloading their taser guns on me and turning me into to a human pincushion full of horse-tranquilizer darts before my expression of love for g7 could be subdued. i’ve reached pathological heights of fandom. i’m fucked in the head, yo.;)
SOYUZ: PRC? I hear the state is on the verge of starting to whither away over there. Exciting times! K.I.T.
p.s. i know what you didn’t do last summer.
that sucks about missing prop. i saw during their last two shows before 9/11 cut their tour short. at fort collins i even saw them all milling about the club. talked to the rod (who is 7ft tall if he’s a foot i tell ya) about fight club, saw jord bouncing up and down on his tip-toes while talking to people (maybe he was warming up for the double bass?) and i tapped chris on shoulder from behind and said “tear it up”. he seemed a little “on guard” but it was justifiable since he probably thought i was going for his wallet. he plays guitar so good though that it sounds like two people are playing.
GIANT SONS amazing. i think adding that guitarist is going to make for the kind of tunes i would have dared not dream of before.
HAIRHOLE .. i so agree! that “iraqi grandmother” part cracks me up every time.
Comment by dumdiddee on August 16th, 2006 at 10:40 pm:
pps SOYUZ, I’m 100% certain that you will hear them play soon enough. not sure if you will ever get to see them in china though.
Comment by poo on August 17th, 2006 at 12:38 am:
It’s funny that mr.chris mr.propagandhi (MR PRO - GAY) makes fun of one of the first mainstream films to show to a wide audience the struggles that a gay person has to go through in everyday life. Very similar to Anarchy airlines.. you can take that flight now chris.. you can take it.

i wonder if they censor G7 website in china or monitor the blog. i’ll be posting on this blog from there. learning chinese for a year too. so i’ll still be reading your cryptic messages on this board, dumdiddee!

No one has mentioned the deadpan hilarity of the Beave yet? Best part of the episode for sure.
Comment by lindsay on August 17th, 2006 at 7:01 pm:
Good episode. Sorry to hear about the financial crunch — I’ll be visiting the ‘Peg next week, so I’ll pick up a few G7 things (is your stuff sold at Mondragon?) while I’m over there. Oh. And I’ll probably run into Jari in the next few days and I’ll attempt to shake the little bastard down for his pocket change.

Comment by Scott Farkus on August 18th, 2006 at 11:39 am:
So Beave, you’ve done nothing since Rough Music? huh, I seem to recall you playing with one of the most EXPLOSIVE bands to ever come out of Winnipeg. Now what are they called again… you know, they have that bitchin axemaster that Chris is always biting riffs from, jeeze I wish i could remember the name of that sexy fuckin band.
Comment by dumdiddee on August 18th, 2006 at 12:52 pm:
y’know how some researchers claim that exposing babies to the music of mozart enhances the development of their intellect? well, i think the same may apply with the music of the giant sons. can’t wait to purchase the album.
Comment by Mel Gibson on August 18th, 2006 at 1:40 pm:
Actually guys, I love masturbating to that song “China Girl”. Thanks for giving more press to my historically-perfect movies. I really appreciate it! You guys are really funny too! Keep it up!

Comment by caítlin on August 19th, 2006 at 4:50 am:
Poo,
Its some crazy fuzzy logic to assume that parodying, critiquing or simply disliking any single form of Queer media, or anything containing a Queer subtext, is homophobic. I would be very, very surprised if anybody was offended by their skit.
As for that picture… I remember very well that at least one of the five times it was “censored”, you’d posted it on a blog discussing current events in Lebanon. Surely you can see how inappropriate that is?
And really though, what’s so bad about it? Do you have to like the friends of every band you listen to? Were you *surprised* when you saw it? Its so incredibly unimportant, I just can’t see why you won’t drop it.
Comment by poo on August 19th, 2006 at 7:29 am:
I don’t care if it’s homophobic or contains queer subtext.. Everyone who is gay can go suck a dick.. that is fine. :)
No.. you don’t have to like the friends of every band you listen to.
Fat Mike’s ok I used to be quite a fan of Noahefex
But my point is.. that chris putting a pic of fat mike in their cd booklet shaking john kerry’s hand is just as pointless as me posting that here and calling him a goof.. becuz 1) chris loves fat mike as you can see from the photo and 2) i love chris as u can see from this 8=======D that i send out to him.
bye. xxxxxxxx
Comment by poo on August 19th, 2006 at 7:37 am:
Oh and also caitlin me posting that in the lebanon board isn’t inappropriate cuz it’s not like your piece of shit msg board is going to walk out into the middle of lebanon and stop the war just becuz u put a post on here saying how outraged you are.. or whatever the fuck you said..
If your messageboard was on the way to walking out into the middle of lebanon and saving a child from dying and i came along and put a pic of chris kissing fatmike infront of the messageboard and it distracted the messageboard and in the mean time a kid got blown up then it would be inappropriate.. but unfortunately your messageboard means shit all..

Hey G7 dudes, why don’t you let someone from Clamor mag on next month to talk about the AA shirt shit.
Comment by Jennifer on August 19th, 2006 at 1:11 pm:
poo, you’re a moron.
I don’t know about what anyone over at G7 thought about Brokeback Mountain, but I found it to be a terrible movie that I believe exploited the controversy it could have causesd with gay main characters. It may have addressed some issues, but seriously. That movie was poorly executed plot-wise. Saying that Brokeback Mountain breaks the barrier between nonmainstream to mainstream for gays is just like saying that Antiflag is a wonderful band that is making every little liberty-spiked headed heterosexual white teenaged male very concious and critical of the world.
Just because anyone may have disliked it (or in this case, made fun of it) doesn’t mean they’re homophobes. I mean, shit - I make fun of heterosexuality all the time if that’s the case!

Ok, moving right along…cooking rice is fun. It’s easy and I can listen to the “radio” while doing it, and, for some reason, it allows me the benefit of not intentionally hurting anybody on a messageboard due to my frustrations. How about that?
That’s……uh…….special. That’s what
that is.
Rock on with the “Gay Cowboys Eating Pudding” stylistic opener. This semms to be a theme that is rarely eplored enough in artistic mediums and workplace conversations, yet, such tact was utilized in an innovative fashion, prompting an immediately personal “satisfying” response due to my dearth, or lack, of mainstream cultural exposure to such.
I’m so glad I can share with everybody here. Even though parasitic worms are slowly burrowing under the skin on my back, relief has occured, if only briefly.
Comment by jaems on August 20th, 2006 at 5:58 pm:
That previous sentence should have read:

Ho Ho, Hey Hey, grammar correction is here to stay.
Comment by dumdiddee on August 20th, 2006 at 7:17 pm:
let’s get real here, anyone remotely familar with the views of derek and crhis know damn well that the brokeback intro was in no way intended to disparage gay men.
i just assumed that it was a humorous and creative way for them to make public that their relationship had advanced beyond the platonic stage. Maybe it’s their way of saying that they’re an exclusive couple … or “life partners,” as some would say. Or maybe they’re just “friends with benefits.” Whatever the case, i think something has blossomed between them, and i wish them the best.
That’s my take on it, anyway. But maybe it’s just the PCP talking.
Comment by jaems on August 20th, 2006 at 8:16 pm:
Dear dumdiddee,
If PCP stands for Penis Caressing Personality, then brother (or sister), you are right. And, oddly enough, you have a comrade in solidarity.
That was pretty sweet, the preceding comments about Chris and Derek’s relationship. It is nice to listen to a friendship of such without money being involved.
Aside from the money I plan on donating to the Committee, of course.

If there is a g7 wedding, I want to be flowergirl.
Comment by poo on August 21st, 2006 at 7:44 am:
No.. dbx 166 my name is not stan..
and I have a couple of comments to make.
1) dbx 166’s are the shit .. i’d use them to compress my mum’s vocals.
2)G7…. WHAT THe fuck is it with this mp3 releasing shit.. as if the giant sons or red fisher deserve that.. I mean fair enough with the (partial) environmental benefits(if any with the ammount of copies g7 sells )) but what a fucking insult.. if you were offering the wav files for download this would be a different matter.. but this is like saying to an artist .. painting in my art gallery.. then taking a picture of it.. and displaying it on a computer monitor.. oh and perhaps doing a shit ..
WTF g7 WTF
these bands deserve better than that.. I wouldn’t even release my mum’s cd pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

my advice to you is masturbation.
Comment by Mel Gibson on August 21st, 2006 at 9:00 am:
Hey guys, stop beating up on poo! He helped me free Scotland, and even better, he’s not jewish. He’s just quite masturbatorily obsessed with certain dialogue presented from Fat Mike and Chris Hannah. He’s just a giddie little pickle who needs a tickle. Tee-hee-hee!

It’s safe to say from your posts here and in the past that you’re basically a troll trying to ’stir things up’ with bullshit. You see that little note above the comment box? Well, we mean it. This is not a message baord. It is a comment thread related to a specific topic. Posts like yours are the reason we do not have a message board.
If you have rational things to say that relate to the thread, and want to say them without flaming people, then go for it. Otherwise that “fake IP” of yours will be promptly filtered.
If you have some sort of problem with Propagandhi that you’d like to try and resolve, feel free to send them an email.

ha ha. derek, did poo flame you? haha. take it off D-Rock!
Comment by kate on August 22nd, 2006 at 9:16 am:
oh derek
you respond to that ‘poo’ kid, yet ignore the totally valid and sincere requests for nudie pics?
why must you tease us so???
Comment by tom on August 22nd, 2006 at 11:07 am:

Jeams - I actually meant PCP as the abbreviation for phenylcyclohexylpiperidine, a.k.a. “Angel Dust,” or “Sherm”. But Penis Caressing Personality is cool too, cuz i beat my dick like it owes me money.

That qualification goes for you too Tom. I have yet to use this great little “ban IP” function in WordPress. Would love to see how it works.
Comment by lindsay on August 22nd, 2006 at 2:06 pm:
For fuck’s sakes. I don’t mean to come off like an ass here, but the reason I rather enjoy taking a look at this blog is because a *fair* portion of the time there’s excellent articles, a bit of fun, and good dialogue. To be honest, I haven’t done so too much lately because of the bulk of the garbage that the board’s been inundated with above.
Now, I don’t know if this is a board whereby a lot of the people know each other personally and are taking a bit of a piss at one another for a laugh, but a lot of the content here is fucking offensive. And stupid. And is making my IQ tick downwards with every scroll. Boys will be boys and whatnot, but if in fact you happen to know someone REALLY well, it’s incredibly fucked up to ask to see nude pictures of them. I’m hardly a prude but give your fucking head a shake, people. And, for future reference, generally a bit jejune to be requesting such material VIA A FUCKING PUBLIC MESSAGE BOARD.
I’m sure there are plenty of boards where one and all can fucking e-wank off to their heart’s content. Please go find one. Might as well, actually. Because if this keeps up, anyone with anything remotely intelligent to say will likely move their discussion elsewhere.
Comment by tom on August 22nd, 2006 at 2:08 pm:
sorry derek…just fuckin around in the wrong space i guess…i’ve never been referred to as a troll before, it’s quite tearful.
in a blatant attempt to retain some integrity i would like to make the following request for G7 RADIO: an interview with a mens group.
are there men’s groups in winnipeg? by mens groups i mean groups of men…who’s mandate is to deconstruct/destroy oppressive, sexist, patriarchal behavior within themselves? well, if not there should be. but an interview with a mens group or any group/person smashing patriarchy would be awesome on a show.
i’m trying to get a similar group organized and geared towards youth, and i’d love to hear other expeirences in the fight against patriarchy.
the bookshop i used to work in also had a no pants day, but a no shirt day is an awesome idea!
Comment by dumdiddee on August 22nd, 2006 at 2:40 pm:
G7 -
when you talked about the financial problems it got me thinking … what are the requirements for maintaining an office in the A-Zone? my understanding is that the building is dedicated to collective workplaces, and as such i can’t imagine that rent would be required. who initially bought and paid for the building and do they get reimbursed by “tenants” (for lack of a better word)? I’m just curious about how the building is run so if you have time please induldge me. as always, i’m having a very boring and uninspiring day at work.
Comment by Anthony on August 22nd, 2006 at 6:16 pm:
Great episode guys…I like the intro, shits crazy man.Everyday in shitty Las Vegas is shirts off day. Derek, you should check out a band called “Small Brown Bike”. They’re pretty good. Also, If anyone can find a link to this episode I saw on the History Channel about scientific explanations for the exodus.
DANK BRO
Comment by nomeansno on August 22nd, 2006 at 7:50 pm:
guest for episode 8? noam chomsky.
i’d imagine he’d be difficult to get into the office, but hey, it’s worth a try.
Comment by kate on August 22nd, 2006 at 10:12 pm:
“Boys will be boys and whatnot, but if in fact you happen to know someone REALLY well, it’s incredibly fucked up to ask to see nude pictures of them.”
if this comment was directed toward me… i was JOKING!! I guess i found it somewhat amusing that the aptly named ‘poo’ succeeded in effecting a response to his nonsense, when this thread is full of nonsense that is ignored.
I apologise for my lack of comic ability ONLY.
if you hadn’t noticed, this is the thread for the radio show, which happens to be heavily punctuated with penis jokes. If you’re after serious intellectual discourse, i’m afraid it doesn’t look likely you’ll get that on this particular thread, but there are other threads where people seem to show a little more restraint. Or better yet, go to the znet blogs. They should be sufficiently humourless.
i’m gonna go ahead and assume you meant “*unless* in fact you happen to know someone really well…” cos there’s nothing wrong with seeking out nude photos of your closest and dearest friends and family, right? Am i right?!?
Comment by Hairhole on August 23rd, 2006 at 12:44 am:
Fuck me. I just spent my life savings on g7 shit. I bought that warsawpack record, ’cause the description of the album gave me a sex change, that anarchy anthology on anti-flag, and a couple Propagandhi c.d’s for the gift exchange at my church.
I also spent the extra two bucks on posters hoping that one of them will be a photo of Derek eating fruit in the nude.
Comment by drew on August 23rd, 2006 at 11:58 am:
kate: i laughed. i love the humour in these threads.
Comment by Hairhole on August 23rd, 2006 at 3:20 pm:
Fuck. I gotta quit posting comments when i’m drunk (worse yet, I gotta quit buying shit when I’m drunk. I’m pretty sure I own those Propagandhi records already…). Anyways, I’m scared; I think Lindsay is gonna punch my nards. Haha. Just kidding man. I think I hear what you’re saying: Death to Poo!!!
Comment by Justin on August 23rd, 2006 at 7:31 pm:
Hi Guys,
another great episode. Ive always been curious to hear more detail of how you all run G7 along parecon lines. You can read alot about the overall theory but it’d be nice to hear from people who use it, talk in more detail of how they have taken Albert’s work and applied it-what works, what hasnt, how has it changed etc. How hard was it to organise a workplace around parecon and get it up and running?
Keep up the great work!
Comment by gerty on August 24th, 2006 at 1:27 pm:
Chalk another one up for Kate. Those were my sentiments exactly i just didnt have the ****s to say so. I mean what the **** there really is only one **** faced mother ****er who deserves a juiced up Mark Maguire crack up his ****ing peice of **** he *** his ***** ***** ***** ***** **** die. I mean ****! I think I just gave myself a hernia.
Comment by soyuz on August 24th, 2006 at 6:26 pm:
hey g7! and fans,
i bet none of you have done this yet. listening to g7 radio 30,000 ft up in the air going 500 mph and while taking a dump. thanks for being there g7 radio to take my mind off 12 hrs of mind-numbing in-flight entertainment. got me thinking though. g7 radio was lacking estrogen until this last episode and probably needs more of it. i really like the song by “cryptic slaughter”
but david bowie? last episode we had the ghostbuster song. is that a way to throw us off every episode? david bowie! suspect at best.
so after i landed in PRC, i was consumed by the perpetual haze and smog. i haven’t seen anything like this. this is front row seat to environmental disaster. it’s 31C according to reports but it feels more like 45C. the air is dense thick and smoky. it looks like fog but feels like you’re in a smoke filled room. visibily is very low too. i can barely see past 500 meters away. if i knew how to post pictures on this comment blog, i would. but beijing!
i searched for articles on beijing environment on google. found only one that said anything about environemtnal degredation. that was bbc’s website. when i clicked on it, it was censored/blocked.
anywho, keep on rockin’ in the “free” world.
Comment by tom on August 25th, 2006 at 9:48 am:
hey soyuz! well, with over 1 billion people, there’s bound to be quite alot of farting. hence the smog?
Comment by dumdiddee on August 25th, 2006 at 1:43 pm:
您好 Soyuz! You crazy son-of-a-bitch! You did it! I think I speak for everyone on this board when I say that we were all hoping your flight went well and that you landed safely and soundly. Only after I read your post from yesterday did I uncross my fingers. It’s so good to hear your voice.
Listening to G7 midflight on the crapper, eh? Wow … I like the idea of that. Last night i made love to a beaufiful woman while listening to g7 radio. Thought i had died and went to heaven.
So i guess if you weren’t a smoker before you landed in china you are now due to all the smog. Yikes! I understand their opening coal-fired power plants at the rate of 1 a week. Is that considered a “great leap forward”. What’s it like outside beijing? Can’t imagine there’s much in the way of trees or lush vegitation. it must be like a vast fuckin praire. Mary. Nothing too novel about that, eh?
i agree that g7 should pump up the estrogen on its radio show. But at the same time, what else can you expect from a couple of old confirmed bachelors?;)
keep us in the loop! miss you tons!
Comment by soylatte on August 25th, 2006 at 9:58 pm:
So who picks the music on these shows? Every interview I’ve read Chris says all he really cares about/listens to is the stuff he grew up listening…So it’s Drek picking all the Tragedy/Misery Index, etc?? Either way, nice job!
Comment by Mattt on August 25th, 2006 at 11:10 pm:
This may be a little irrelevant to the current discussion, but did anyone see the article about Critical Mass in today’s Winnipeg Free Press? “Critical Mass rebels without a cause”.
Comment by nomeansno on August 26th, 2006 at 10:08 pm:
well, i dont know exactly where to post this, but im sure anyone who listens to G7 Radio will appreciate this.
jon stewart appeared on Crossfire, and voices his opinion.

Comment by tom on August 27th, 2006 at 6:37 pm:
hey! i just read that paul furgale (whoever he is) started a mens against mens violence group! does it still exist and that would be wicked on g7 radio.
Comment by gerty on August 27th, 2006 at 7:09 pm:
ha i sent g7 that jon stewart file awhile ago you really can’t underestimate the awesomeness of the whole daily show family.
ya kinda dumb article by lindor renolds she almost makes a point but with the worst attitude.
Comment by Belinda on August 29th, 2006 at 3:58 pm:
Dang, I just noticed that Submission Hold is
in the deceased bands section. I was just getting in to them too. I LOVED the intro to this months episode! So cute.
Comment by Dtrain on August 29th, 2006 at 7:47 pm:
Great news. I enjoyed rough music. I also heard Muc was asked to play ax. Looking forward to seeing you guys this fall and if you play edmonton for goodness sake, Red’s, in the west edmonton shithole has changed their name to the venue or west edmonton complex or some other horseshit name, but beware it is still awful and is still in WEM so yeah.
Comment by dumdiddee on August 30th, 2006 at 3:46 pm:
How about an ETA for when the Giant Sons become available? My wallet is wide open but my discretionary funds for this fiscal quarter are nearly depleted.
Comment by tom on August 31st, 2006 at 10:37 am:
“I just noticed that Submission Hold is

oh no. they rocked. truly an original unborrowed sound. did you know that the child that jen had, his middle name is danger apparently. thats too bad….never got to see them live….
Comment by caítlin on August 31st, 2006 at 10:58 am:
On a completely unrelated note;
I can’t wait for December!! I missed propagandhi last time because I was sick. Echinacea timeeee.
Soyuz, I’m going to take pictures for you :)
Comment by jerkemy on August 31st, 2006 at 1:50 pm:
It figures. I live in Maine, Propagandhi tours the west coast. I move west; they immediately head east.

I actually had a chance back in 98 or 99, but I opted out because it was on a sunday and I just went to a show at the same hall the night before (out of town). Of course it was an amazing show, so I suck for not going…
Figures that when I really get into them, they are no longer together.
Comment by Jennifer on August 31st, 2006 at 6:45 pm:
UK and Mid-eastern Canada?
LAME.
What happened to the East coast?
Comment by jerkemy on August 31st, 2006 at 6:52 pm:
I saw Submission Hold in Boston a few years ago. I like their lyrics and ideas, but their music is a little too… artsy? for me to really get into. An overly-enthusiastic skinhead knocked me into some other band’s equipment at that show. Weird.
Comment by tom on September 1st, 2006 at 8:10 pm:
whoever is responsible for coaxing hiretsukan to stay alive: i dont know how to ever repay you. now their touring ! maybe you could do the same for subhold. i would personally be indebted to you for life and beyond.
the best shows ill ever see will be this year. soyuz i will also take pictures for you

Hey Caítlin, i’m planning to cross the English Channel to see the boys rocking, and i’ll try to see as many gigs as i can, so if you’re interested in joining just ask our hosts my email adress and drop me a line!
Comment by sysrq on September 3rd, 2006 at 10:45 am:
I’ve picked up the John K. Samson, Painted Thin, and Greg MacPherson albums off of eMusic, I hope you guys release a lossless download option soon. Going through http://www.magnatune.com might not be a bad idea.
Comment by Benjamin Grundy on September 4th, 2006 at 2:13 am:
Is there any way to get these new G7 releases without DRM (copyright protection)? Because buying stuff through iTunes is a big pain in the ass.
Comment by Jennifer on September 4th, 2006 at 1:14 pm:
that glen lambert shit’s gona way too far, haha.
Comment by caítlin on September 5th, 2006 at 9:16 am:
Cool biscuits mikea, thanks. Considering most of my friends aren’t exactly woman enough for a progressive thrash show (”Clit in the pit?! That sounds messy…”), that’d be cool. Come to think of it, as I live about three hours from Dublin and go down there a lot, when the tickets come on sale I can probably pick some up for people who are coming from outside. Providing they arent €60 or something of the sort. Anyway, if you’re interested, email; saoirse_ionannas_aonad [at] yahoo [dot] co.uk (doesn’t matter if it gets spammed..)
:)
Comment by D-Rock on September 5th, 2006 at 11:20 am:
Try eMusic at http://emusic.com - DRM-free. Also, the downloads direct from our site (coming soon!) will be DRM-free, and at a higher bitrate as well …
Giant Sons release will be announced soon, as soon as our collossal technical fuck-up is repaired …
Comment by Benjamin Grundy on September 6th, 2006 at 12:28 pm:
Thanks Derek, I thought I recalled something about being able to purchase music directly from the G7 site. I’ll wait to you guys get it up before buying those albums. Any word if you’re going to have lossless formats? FLAC maybe?
Thanks.

hey, when you guys do the next newsletter or radio show, let us know how the Giant Sons show was.
Comment by Jennifer on September 10th, 2006 at 11:38 am:
I don’t know why people think Mitch Clem is funny. He’s not an ounce-bit witty, and it doesn’t make him anymore so when he’s making jokes about punk rock.
Comment by jerkemy on September 10th, 2006 at 8:59 pm:
It seems like everyone took that photo in PCL really seriously, from Mitch Clem to Fat Mike.
When did people stop recognizing sarcasm? I think the “self loathing” and jokes about suicide are clearly tongue-in-cheek. Well…are hopefully tongue-in-cheek.
Comment by Dinkus McGrawkus on September 11th, 2006 at 1:57 am:
w00t!! Just picked up my fistfull of tickets for for Oct 19 here in Ottablah. Only fifteen left too. Kick as radio ep btw. Tell ya what though, Propagandhi in a small venue is gonna kick arse…..

Can anyone explain to me the new cartoon on the home page of Prop’s website? I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure it out but I still can’t make any sense of it. And YES, I am stuck in a goddamn cubicle right now, although it has given me time to submit probably close to 1,000 votes for them for that Echo award. If they don’t get the award I bet the prize money will be blown on cocaine and strippers, so it was time well spent hopefully.
Comment by drew on September 11th, 2006 at 5:51 pm:
dumdiddee: soo..the cartoon didnt make you laugh? its supposed to be fucking ridiculous, and simultaneously very funny. as for voting, yea it says once a day, but i seem to be able to do it more. also, i suggest watching office space again, if you havnt seen it, and breaking down your fucking cubicle!!!!!

I’ve seen the movie Office Space and it is inspirational for sure. right now i’m in the stage of the lead character in the beginning where i do just enough work to not get fired and nothing more. fuck, i’m supposed to be busy at work right now but i’m not. hopefully i advance to the stage of dismantling my beige cubicle prison soon.

I was wondering the same thing.
