The Resume

    Based in Kingston, Ontario
    Rob Baker (guitar)
    Gord Downie (vocals, guitar)
    Johnny Fay (drums)

    They recorded ‘New Orleans,' ‘Blow At High Dough,' ‘Little Bones,' ‘Twist My Arm,' ‘Courage,' ‘Fifty Mission Cap,' ‘Ahead By A Century,' ‘Looking For A Place to Happen,' ‘Bobcaygeon' and ‘Vaccination Scar'

Why he might be annoying:

    Their name comes from a skit that Mike Nesmith wrote for ‘Elephant Parts.'
    The song ‘Fifty Mission Cap' is about Toronto Maple Leafs player Bill Barilko, the lyrics were taken from the back of his hockey card.
    Their fans have been known to collectively hum the ‘Hockey Night In Canada' theme during concerts.
    The song ‘New Orleans' (is sinking) was somewhat prophetic.

Why he might not be annoying:

    They donate time, money and merchandise to ‘War Child Canada,' an organization devoted to helping children of war.
    They have a huge following in Canada, and very little cross over into the United States, mostly by their own choice.
    They requested that ‘New Orleans' not get played on the radio, after hurricane Katrina.
