CONDOLENCE MOTION Moved by: Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon Seconded by: Councillor Josh Colle The Members of Toronto City Council are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jeff Plewman, 66 years old, over the weekend of May 10, 2014. Jeff Plewman, also known by his stage name Nash the Slash, was a Toronto based experimental musician whose primary instruments were the electric violin and mandolin. He established his career as both the co-founder of the progressive rock band FM and as a solo artist. Notable highlights include a gold certification for FM's commercially successful Black Noise album and international recognition after his solo performance tours with the likes of Iggy Pop, Gary Numan and The Who. Those who witnessed his multimedia performances will remember his iconic stage attire as dressed in a tuxedo, top hat and dark shades, and face covered with surgical bandages. Revered for never forfeiting his eccentric artistry, he once sued and won a court case against Coca Cola for misappropriation of personality. In addition to his innovative experimentation with musical instruments, his artistic interests led him to collaborate with various sorts of artists, including surrealist painter Robert Vanderhost and film director Bruce McDonald. Jeff Plewman will be remembered as a pioneer for his contributions to the music industry and more broadly, the arts. The City Clerk is requested to convey, on behalf of the Members of Toronto City Council, our sincere sympathy to Jeff Plewman's family and friends. June 11, 2014 .

Barenaked Lunch
Barenaked Lunch 1990 (Winter) Jim and Andy Creeggan join Barenaked Ladies . (February to March) Barenaked Ladies tour Canada with Corky And The Juice Pigs. (February 8) Barenaked Ladies perform in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. (March 13) Barenaked Ladies perform in London, Ontario, Canada. (Date Unknown) Look People records its second album Small Fish, Big Pond , venue unknown. (Early 1990) Barenaked Ladies record and issue their second indie release Barenaked Lunch . This is the first band recording to feature the Creeggans . The approximately 2,000 copies produced are mastered at the wrong speed and running a bit too fast. Barenaked Lunch “Night Photographs” “Trouble With Tracy” “Blame It On Me” “Be My Yoko Ono” “If I Had $1000000” “Night Photographs (Barenaked Lunch Version)” 2:11 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson Appears on: Barenaked Lunch It can’t be stressed enough just how much the addition of the Creeggan brothers really helped the Ladies fill out their overall sound. The rhythm section ups the energy level of the songs and brings the group much closer now to their familiar sound as heard by the time they recorded the Gordon album. The speed here, as with the entire cassette, is mastered too fast, but honestly, it’s not that bad and I’m not sure too many casual listeners at the time would notice. This recording, with the speed corrected, would later appear on The Ladies Room - Vol. 1 Fan Club CD in 1997. “Trouble With Tracy (Barenaked Lunch Version)” 2:39 Written by Steven Page & Ed Robertson Appears on: Barenaked Lunch Still a regular song in the group’s repertoire (and a really good one, at that), this version is the closest the band got to releasing a proper studio recording.
