[edit] Merrick Atkinson

How many Merrick Atkinsons could there possibly be in the Lower Mainland? And Merrick Atkinsons who are musically inclined? Someone from the Royal Bank (I suspect Toren himself, since he's currently working as a temp for a financial institution) has been editing out references to Merricks other band affiliation with Lummox. I'd like to know why? Are there in fact two different Merrick Atkinsons in the Vancouver region? As unlikely as that seems, it is a possibility. --Dogbreathcanada 19:23, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Corrections From The Band

i had a look through the wiki entry for the band. here are some corrections...

The band formed in February 1992, mostly from members of a local role-playing group. -- 1) we formed in January 2) we all met in art school. later we ended up gaming together.

They often perform live, and have performed concerts with many other bands including Gwar, They Might Be Giants and the Dayglo Abortions. -- we played at Dragon*Con where Gwar was performing and we were SUPPOSED to be the opening band but a last minute screw job moved us to a different stage in Dragon*Con to perform. so you could say we played with Gwar but I don't consider this the case.

backup vocalist Merrick Atkinson (also of the band Lummox). -- as stated in a private email, our Merrick is not the Merrick from Lummox. there are in fact, two Merrick Atkinsons in the area that play in bands.

Bob Fugger appeared as bassist on all releases prior to 2006. -- Bob was not the bass player on all releases prior to 2006. Bob was our bass player on the following recordings: Cthulhuriffomania, Cthulhu Strikes Back & Spaceship Zero.

For the songs off of Hurts Like Hell, we had a bass player named Chris West. For songs off Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle! we had a bass player named Devon Presseau. -- 2006-02-09 14:09:47 207.200.152.99

Thanks for the information, Warren. This is the same information as the email I received, and have already made the correction. Good to have the information here on the talk pages though. --Dogbreathcanada 03:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion

I've received a large amount of addition material, through email correspondence, with Warren Banks. I shall be incorporating all this information into the article shortly. (Which will also mean merging the CD section of Spaceship Zero into this article, but of course retaining a direct link from that article to this article.) --Dogbreathcanada 00:06, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Album tracks as list versus paragraph

To the person who reformatted all the album tracks as a numbered list. I reverted back to the original style.

1. Track one
2. Track two
3. Track three
4. Track four
5. Track five
6. Track six

versus

1. Track one 2. Track two 3. Track three 4. Track four 5. Track five 6. Track six

I think the numbered list looks ugly in the context of this article and creates far too much vertical scrolling. I don't think the numbered list format adds anything of value over the current formatting. Unless there's some strong Wiki guideline that states that all album tracks have to be formatted as a numbered list, then I don't feel change is necessary. --Dogbreathcanada 03:20, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I think the vertical orientation looks more appealing, but I do agree that it adds to much vertical scrolling and doesn't add enough to this article. If each album had its own article, I would say make the track orientation verticle. — Asatruer 11:16, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Did you click one of the previous links in history to get a look-see? Probably would work with different formatting, but didn't seem to work with the formatting I chose to use to cover each album. I hope nobody gets the bright idea to create separate articles for each album, because the albums themselves aren't notable enough for their own entries. I'd have to RFD based on lack of notability. --Dogbreathcanada 18:04, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
