Muahahahaaaaa....make them skate without knowing the music beforehand. Evil. Pure evil.
Hey, be thankful it isn't that awful June Taylor-style (yeah, I know it's before your time) underwater choreographed "dancing" with their feet sticking up, turning in circles...

I guess any gig is a good gig? Exposure is exposure? I just don't know what to make of this. I've been processing this since I read about it.....
BTW ... Thanks for posting this Pondering. I've been very lax in my duties here this summer. I find it so hard to get things done when my kids are home. So I appreciate all of you jumping in and posting things when I don't.

It's a "treasure trove" of information...
http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090811&content_id=6 367066&vkey=ice_pressrelease
"The Music: In anticipation of the follow-up release to their 2006 album Let Love In, set to drop in early 2010, four-time Grammy-nominated artists the Goo Goo Dolls will perform eight of their greatest hits live with the skaters and perform three numbers from their new album. The band has become one of the most globally respected and influential forces in popular music history, selling more than 10 million albums since 1987. They have been topping charts for decades, having an unprecedented string of 14 consecutive number one and top 10 multi-format hit singles including "Name," "Slide," Black Balloon," Broadway," "Here Is Gone," "Big Machine," "Sympathy," "Stay With You," "Before It's Too Late," "Jim's Theme" (Treasure Planet)," and "Better Days," which, due to its uplifting lyrical spirit, was adopted by CNN as an anthem for the news channel's Hurricane Katrina recovery coverage. "Iris," from the City Of Angels soundtrack, spent nearly 12 straight months on the Billboard charts and held the number one position for 18 consecutive weeks. By that point, sales of the soundtrack exceeded a phenomenal 10 million copies worldwide.
The title track of their 2006 album Let Love In marked the band's 20th anniversary and gave the band a record number of top 10 hits in Adult Top 40 history, beating artists including Matchbox Twenty and Sheryl Crow. Be one of the first to hear brand new tracks from the Goo Goo Dolls as they perform live at Improv-Ice. "

What.
Okay, that's.. um, different. Yay new songs in October?
I'm Still Here is John's song, right? I always get unsure when I read that the guys recorded it.

Yes. John wrote I'm Still Here for the movie Treasure Planet. I really love that song and don't think it ever got the credit it deserves.

It's just like how it was for me with Hey, Jealousy when I was a new fan. I could hear it wasn't John nor Robby, but it said Goo Goo Dolls, so..
Totally agreed. I owe everything to that song, that was the song that got me into the Goo Goo Dolls in the first place.
