Great response Rob. After watching Brian’s first video I immediately thought of you and hoped you’d do a response. I learned a lot about T.O. here. Every time I hear the Ford name, all I can do is shake my head and laugh.
Of course I enjoyed this Rob. Baseball, Exhibition stadium, wow. Did you go down to Buffalo and see them at Sahlen Field? Sorry, forgot aboot the music! 😄 That The Kings cover reminds me of Rob Halford’s Fight! Loved this video, you’ve done honour to Brians thread 😊
Hi Rob. The first song that pops into my head about Toronto is Toronto Tontos by Max Webster. Kind of surprised (although a little before your time) that you don’t collect them especially since you are a big supporter of Canadian talent. The song is a pretty quirky but a lot of fun. Check it out if you haven’t already. Cheers!!! Mark
I watched Embryonic Robot's first video and left a couple of comments naming songs that mention Toronto. Then I got The Days in Between and caught the Toronto name drop. I was going to suggest it, but of course you got it! Five Days in July should reach my mailbox today.
Very nicely done Rob! I would love to contribute to this thread but I think Brian took all of my answers! I enjoyed your contribution though. Cheers buddy.
Nicely done Rob. Exhibition Place was a horror, as were the Blue Jays when they first entered the league. In those days if they managed to turn a double play, we would take that as a sign to leave and go to a bar to celebrate because we knew it would only go downhill from there 😂😂. Cheers.
Hi Rob! One of the best things living in the states is I never hear "Switching to glide" anymore on classic rock radio for the most part. Rob Ford! LMAO! The Chris Farley of mayors! 😂
Hi Rob - I love your video. I guess if anyone would have that Blue Jays song, it would be you! I hoped for some Blue Rodeo tracks and was not disappointed. I used to live very very close to The Matador, so I think that song counts! I'm going to listen to that Cuff the Duke track now. I haven't heard that Whitehorse track either, if you can believe it. These are great, and I only own two: Cohen (obviously) and the Kings 🙂 I still can't believe that we elected Doug Ford 🙃
Thanks Brian. That Whitehorse track is pretty obscure. Only a digital single. Its on youtube. Wasnt on any album or physical release and they dont play it live so most people dont even know about it. Much like Blue Rodeo’s Stephen Harper protest song, Stealing All My Dreams. Because it was a digital single, most folks have never heard it.
@@NorthernRevolutions I have the first two Blue Rodeo albums on vinyl and that's it! Shocking, I know. I even saw them in concert five or six times. It is truly shameful.
I wanted to get that Kings album last year, but the CD was expensive and then I read the remastering was not good, so I gave up. I just got The Northern Pikes' album Truest Inspiration, and the first track mentions Toronto. Rob Ford! Ha ha! I remember that story.
@@NorthernRevolutions That’s what I wanted it for. Wasn’t really into the song back then, but when I heard it a year or two ago, I thought it was great!
Really?! That would be so awesome! I saw your comment here just before I went outside to clean up some weeds in the garden. I was thinking, do you think we could do a three-way type video with maybe Young LP Lovers, Racer Records, Embrionic Robot, or someone else you know and would like to do something with? Maybe we could, as a rough suggestion, do something like answer five questions like who was the first Canadian band or artist we knew of, who was the first Canadian band or artist we really got into, what is the best concert we've seen by a Canadian band or artist, what Canadian band or artist or scene do we want people to know more about, and who is currently your go to Canadian band or artist. Or any other suggestions? If we could work out something like that it would be great! Otherwise, a series for your channel meeting with other purveyors of pemmican? Profferers of poutine? Maple mayhem maniacs?@@NorthernRevolutions
@@musicisajourney absolutely lets do it. Of course we can have others on. I have done stuff with all of those guys and they are great fellas. Lets do this; email me northernrevolutions -at- gmail -dot- com and we’ll get a group email going and plan this thing. Im excited!!!

This was great Rob. Love seeing cuff the duke up there.
Great response Rob. After watching Brian’s first video I immediately thought of you and hoped you’d do a response. I learned a lot about T.O. here.
Every time I hear the Ford name, all I can do is shake my head and laugh.
Of course, how could I not do a response? He lobbed a softball right into my wheelhouse.
Really enjoyed this episode! Gives an inside of artist that I wasn’t aware of so thank you 🙏
Thanks Chris. Glad you enjoyed it

No I didnt make to Sahlen Field. Would have liked to. Its only 90minutes away.

Not a big Max Webster fan. Not bad just never really grabbed me. I have seen Kim Mitchell in concert before.

Five Days in July should reach my mailbox today.
Have you heard Five Days yet? Amazing album. Its widely considered their best. Not my favourite buy some incredible songs on there.
@@NorthernRevolutions Coming in the mail. An ex back in the nineties had it. I liked Cynthia best.
Just pulled Five Days from the mailbox!@@NorthernRevolutions
@@musicisajourney funny story about Cynthia which I will tell you when we get together virtually.
Hmm... okay!@@NorthernRevolutions
Very nicely done Rob! I would love to contribute to this thread but I think Brian took all of my answers! I enjoyed your contribution though. Cheers buddy.
Are you and I ever going to get around to doing a collaboration? Or a podcast episode.
@@NorthernRevolutions we are overdue man! Absolutely. We need to have a brainstorming session to come up with ideas. I'm all for it.
Nicely done Rob. Exhibition Place was a horror, as were the Blue Jays when they first entered the league. In those days if they managed to turn a double play, we would take that as a sign to leave and go to a bar to celebrate because we knew it would only go downhill from there 😂😂. Cheers.
Thanks Jack. I remember going to three games at the Ex. I was young though. I was only 11 when they moved into the Dome.

What are you talking about?? Switchin to Glide is awesome!!!!!!!

And you only own two? So you dont have Five Days In July????? Shame on you!!!!!!
@@NorthernRevolutions I have the first two Blue Rodeo albums on vinyl and that's it! Shocking, I know. I even saw them in concert five or six times. It is truly shameful.
@@EmbryonicRobot well you need Lost together and Five Days.
@@NorthernRevolutions I'll add them to my enormous mental list 🙄
That's like me telling Glen that it's pronounced "App-uh-latch-uh" down here.
I didnt know that. Consider me edumacated
I wanted to get that Kings album last year, but the CD was expensive and then I read the remastering was not good, so I gave up.
I just got The Northern Pikes' album Truest Inspiration, and the first track mentions Toronto.
Rob Ford! Ha ha! I remember that story.
I only have that Kings album for Beat Goes On/Switchin to Glide. The rest is rather uneventful.
@@NorthernRevolutions That’s what I wanted it for. Wasn’t really into the song back then, but when I heard it a year or two ago, I thought it was great!
I have one. Chilliwack’s song 148 Heavy.
Yep that’s one for sure.
By the way, maybe we should start a CanCon club because I’ve been doing more and more videos about Canadian artists myself.
I noticed that! If you want do a collaboration sometime, I would absolutely be up for that.
