I've got "Small Parts Isolated and Destroyed" on LP. Haven't heard it in ages.

Nomeansno is my favorite band! Crikey, I'm surprised that anyone here has heard of them! I saw them for the second time in October in Portland, OR. Great fucking show. I wasn't feeling well when I went in, but I ended up covered in other people's beer and sweat anyway. :lol:

I'm probably dating myself but I saw them in Montreal on their first tour when Andy Kerr was still with the band back in the early 80's.  I last saw them in New Jersey probably five years ago or so.  They don't come to the East Coast of the US much.  New CD coming out soon though I hear.

It's amazing that those old guys can still put on that good of a show, isn't it? :lol:

They seem to tour in Europe a lot, and the west coast, and Canada.

I've tried to coordinate visits to Montreal with their shows there but it's been a while.

I saw an '06 Explorer yesterday.  Those things are actually pretty big.  Must've been a yank driving it.

Explorers aren't that big around here  :lol:

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

It was bigger than I expected.  They only sold it here in the 90s, I suspect it's grown since then...
