  • NQ 33: The Tale of Pisseus

    The night grows deep and the shadows stretch out from our forms huddled around the fire. The night is deep, cold and full of unknown horrors and terror. The group is tired, depleted from many weeks of constant travel. No one speaks a word, they are too weak to contemplate the effort. The old man has seen such struggles before. It is not his first reluctant sojourn. With a heave of his tired bones, he shifts towards the fire - calling attention to the rest of the people bundled up in their blankets. 'Lend me your ears, children, for I know you cannot offer more. Lend me your imagination and I will tell you a tale. A tale of wonder and enchantment. A tale of mystery and of danger. A tale which we all sorely need to hear.' The dejected eyes rose to meet those of the old man. The fire reflected back in his dark eyes; sparks in the night. 'This is the tale of Pisseus.' The night goes on. The people listen.

    'It begins with a golden shower.'

    To be mollusks

  • NQ 28: TRIUMPH

    Triumph is a Canadian hard rock power trio that was popular in the late 1970s through the 1980s. Between the band's 16 albums and DVDs, Triumph has received 18 gold and 9 platinum awards in Canada and the United States. Triumph was nominated for multiple Juno Awards, including Group of the Year Award in 1979, 1985, 1986 and 1987. Like their fellow Canadians Rush, Triumph began building their reputation across North America as a live band, peaking in the early to mid-1980s. The band was formed by Toronto music veterans Gil Moore (drums, vocals), Mike Levine (bass, keyboards), and Rik Emmett (guitar, vocals) in 1975.

    It is most important to note that "Somebody Out There", "Love Hurts", "Child of the City" and "Lay It On the Line" are all the SAME GODDAMN BAND. WHAAAAATTTT?!?!
