I wish these guys would tour again. My buddy used to drive to their shows in a black van with Bourbon Tabernacle Choir spray painted on the side. I miss those days!
Rob Bowman is a contemporaneous Canadian professor of ethnomusicology and a music writer.
Formerly the director of York University's Graduate Program in Ethnomusicology & Musicology in Toronto, he has written many liner notes, studies and books on pop music.
Specialized in the Stax Records story, his liner notes on the different boxed sets of The Complete Stax/Volt Soul Singles has been celebrated. His book, Soulsville, U.S.A. - The Story of Stax Records, is considered to be the definitive history of the legendary Memphis-based record label.

Nice to see those muppet-like faces open up and sing again.

Still the most pretentious liner notes ever.
This was a great band, they didn't need their English professor to write a gushing, impartial review to confirm that fact.

Who also had a direct connection to this band. His CV is irrelevant in light of that.

Wow this is interesting. I'm a huge Whiteman fan, and it's just funny to hear him go from this to AoH or BSS.

Great song, great band. Very under appreciated while they were around IMO.
Also cool to see some early pre-Broken Social Scene footage of guitarist Andrew Whiteman!
Thanks for posting.
