I won tickets this morning on Joe FM (an Edmonton radio station) to go see the tribute band "Queen - It's A Kinda Magic"!!
I'm so excited! (I actually recorded the moment when they broadcasted part of my call, to my computer, if you guys wanna hear it)

have they replaced the -freddie' character with a 'Paul Rodgers' lookalike yet? we'd hate it if the 'anti-Paul rodgers' crew didn't have soemthing else to moan about ;-)
Queen + Paul Rodgers tribute bands? yeh there is, pretty dam good one at that, honestly you would think they were the actual band! they go round looking exactly like them, sing like em the lot! and they will be startin a US tour soon, october i think? they completed a successful tour of Europe, i saw em as all the anti Q+PR people know Queen died in 1991! so pretty dam good, i saw em in Newcastle, great. Close as i will get to Queen (+paul Rodgers)...
:P
Congrats! I won tickets to a movie once. Was more expensive to drive clear out in the country to the stupid radio station to pick them up than it woulda been just to buy them though :-P
I'd like to hear it as well.
PS- Barry, I emailed you.
Funny you should talk about winning movie tickets, cos last week, I got a free pass for 2 people to go see an advance screening of "A Sound Of Thunder" last Wednesday at West Edmonton Mall's SilverCity theatre. (Though I couldn't find anyone to go to the movie with, since it was an almost last-minute thing)
I tried to make a post about it actually, after I found out I won, but my PC's net connection was acting shitty.
And no, I didn't have to sing, thankfully (so you guys won't hear my singing for a long time yet, until I actually record some material for a possible E.P., which I can't say yet when it will happen - it depends on a lot of things).
I will upload the sound clip in about 2 hours from now, cos I'm downtown at the library.
I will upload it in MP3 and FLAC formats to make up for it ;-)

When??
I'm actually (possibly) leaving Edmonton on the 23rd this month to go on vacation to Ottawa from then until Oct. 7th, since my relatives live there!
Maybe we can go together?

ED: Seriously, they actually edited the conversation we had, cos originally I talked about Queen and Paul Rodgers, and how I got into Queen. This broadcasts only has the beginning where I win the tickets, and that's it.
And seriously, I think they edited it on the spot so I 'say' "Yeah!" one more time.
They (the presenters) are funny people though.
congrats they are going to be in barrie ont,in october 5. i wish i could see them at the molson center, but i have a wedding to go to the day after and i live in buffalo,ny. enjoy the concert,
Yes, upon careful examination of the evidence before me, it is my conclusion that indeed the last two 'yeah' vocalizations which are heard are indeed the exact same sound and therefore most likely the result of editing.
It is also the opinion of this court that you have a cute voice Ricky. Thanks for sharing your good fortune.

Yeah, I figured so, cos that was when they stopped the broadcast of the call, which went on for about a minute longer, and thus left out the smart things I was actually saying in the process.
That's Edmonton radio for you :P
(If you ask some of my fellow Edmontonians, a lot of them think Joe FM is a joke really...but then some of the newer stations are as well, so :P )
Actually, if you listen really closely as well, when I start talking, you can hear my computer running in the background, because I was using the portable phone in my room where my PC is.
I was surprised when I heard that, cos that phone normally doesn't transmit anything quieter than the voice speaking into the phone, or background noise in general.

Oh thank you! That's the first time anyone's said that to me about my voice!
I'm very flattered :)
