The single sounds interesting. Do we know where "Sloan" got is name? I know that in the early 80's when I saw their proto-band Kearny Lake Road in Halifax concerts, "sloan" was related to preppy rich knobs - sloan rangers - an inapproriate connection. I have always wondered why the name.

Found this interview with Sloan in 2 minutes:<p>

<b>goldie2</b> How did you choose the name "sloan"?<br>
<b>sloan</b> Jay: It was the nickname of a friend of ours.

<br>My office also has the <i>Sloan</i> urinals. But which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Alan -

Can your false idol tell me why the friend was nicknamed sloan.

Nick Burka -

And Google said unto the gathered masses:
<blockquote>
For those of you that still don't know, the name Sloan came from a "mutual friend's nickname" for the group - a combination of the words "slow one."
</blockquote>
And it was good.

Alan -

So who was the friend and why was he slow..

Daniel Burka -

For I say unto you, do not tease God as God teased Moses in the desert.

Speaking of sloan:
Sloan pays tribute

To continue this and another thread, Google is also patient and kind, correcting the simple typing error and anticpating one's true needs if only within its own universe.

Alan -

Apparently the praise of Google attracts strict adherents fundamental in the theology of threads...Can there not be two paths to lead the unwashed to Lord Goog?

Jevon MacDonald -

Alan: there are many ways to believe you are at Google, but they are false engines. Such as AV, Yahoo, Excite. They promise great things but are lost in the sands of Cached links and GoogleScouting. There is only one true Google and only one true Google domain.

Alan -

I fear searching "Lord Goog" in that like John in the Gospels, I will be exposed to the full light but unlike him will be blinded as unworthy....
