Re: Notwist etc...
Good calls on the Postal Service and Notwist tracks -- though I am more partial to "One with the Freaks" at the moment. I've been high on the Notwist album for awhile now... an underappreciated band for sure. I'll have to check out some of your other selections
Yes.. the new Belle and Sebastian is quite good and, while we're at it, Ryan Adams has produced some memorable tunes over the years (in Whiskeytown etc...) yet methinks the time he spent with Winona Ryder has gone to his head.

Were you on that team, silverfox?
Captain, I have no idea where to find the archived information:confused:
I always enjoyed the b-ball trips in high-school.
BCs
We beat Centennial in the first round; Richmond in the second round; lost to Alpha in the semis in PKs; then lost to Sutherland in the consolation final in PKs. As it turned out, with the altered draw because of all the snow etc..., we ended up finishing 6th, I think. But, we did have 4...
1985-86 provincials
Oh yes... as I remember Richmond was highly touted that year. I suppose they were a little shy without the Captain -- must have been since we (Nanaimo) beat them 3-0 (I think).
