Episode two of this second season of Flight of the Conchords is a true gem. It's the best episode I've seen since the first half of season one. I just finished watching “The Tough Brets” for the second time, and it's deserving of a third viewing. This one clicked on
Alan Cross spoke with Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and asked the question I've been curious about for years. We now finally know how Vedder came to record Indio's "Hard Sun" for the Into The Wild soundtrack. Alan Cross: How did you come across “Hard Sun” for the “Into the Wild”
I got so pissed off at Ticketmaster after buying Hip tickets through them in 2004 that I secured the #1 spot in Google for I hate Ticketmaster searches. The way they gouge us is criminal, but this recent TicketNow nonsense is total bullshit. If you haven't heard... There was a
More than any other header tagline in the history of this site, "It's Patrick, He Got Life Insurance" has elicited the greatest response. I actually wasn't sure whether it was "It's Patrick, He Bought Life Insurance" or "It's Patrick, He Got Life Insurance," but I remember well the ad the
My buddy Justin Pogge should sue his NHL teammates for lack of support. For the second game in a row he's been left out to dry. Believe it or not, I thought he looked pretty good in this game. It's official. Winning is no longer a priority for this team,
Lux Interior was 62. He was lead singer of influential garage-punk act the Cramps.
I'm sure this is probably not a safe prank and we shouldn't be glorifying it, but what the heck... There have been a rash of pranks targeting electronic highway signs in America's Midwest recently. In Collinsville, Ill., east of St. Louis, hackers changed a sign on Interstate 225 Tuesday to
When Harold Hosein was fired from City-TV back in 2006, I wrote about it. Today, there's a new comment on that entry from a chap named Ian. Harold Hosein is no longer with 680 news....I found out today...02/04/09It seems 680 News didn't renew Harold Hosein's contract,

Finally, Bryan McCabe is scoring on Tosky when it matters. Unfortunately, McCabe scored in overtime, meaning we earned a point. We're a big six points up on the Sens and that's not as sweet as it sounds. Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders19-23-9 47 points 4th in Northeast Division4-3 OTL vs.
I've been coughing up coin on a monthly basis to Rogers so I can get TMN and Rogers on Demand. I've been doing this for years. You can blame The Sopranos. A few months ago, Mike, a reader of this blog, let me know about channel 300. I've always watched
Russ Germain was 62. He was the former host of flagship CBC radio news programs World Report and The World at Six.
Have you heard Dave Devall is retiring? He's one of North America's longest serving meteorologists and he'll officially retire as CTV Toronto's Weather Specialist on April 3, 2009. I never got my news from CTV. I suppose we all have our favourite television news stops, and mine has changed over
Instead of the usual bills and statements, I had a piece of real snail mail waiting for me when I got home this evening. I had a sweet letter from Stephanie, hand written in pink ink, with a fantastic 1992 Blue Jays CD enclosed within. I have never met Stephanie,
According to Google Analytics, here are the top ten keywords that brought people to this site in January 2009. By a pretty massive margin, the most popular entry in January was Scientology, Autism and the Death of Jett Travolta. A glance below will show you why. jett travolta autismjett travoltadon
I received an email the other day about "Possum Kingdom", a great little song from the Toadies that I put on SLS4. Back in the day, I used to run smellslikesour.com. I stopped actively caring for the site a couple of years ago because something had to give, and
Prior to today, I didn't watch a single minute of NFL football all season. I haven't been able to make such a claim since I was a snot-nosed kid in the early 80s. I did watch most of today's Super Bowl, and it was a great game. The first half
That was another entertaining victory for the Leafers last night. Of course, I'm conflicted. I've come to terms with being content with a loss, but it was still so much fun hanging on for the win yesterday. I'd like to reiterate something I said back in September. Luke Schenn is
I've got a sweet thing going with the Marlies. They leave me tickets and concession stand coupons and I basically sit wherever I want at the Ricoh Coliseum. Today I took my brother Steve to his first Toronto Marlies game. You know it's a fun afternoon when you can enjoy

As host of the greatest Scientology debate in the history of the blogosphere, I feel compelled to clarify something to the confused. Bart Simpson does not promote Scientology, it's the voice of Bart Simpson, Nancy Cartwright, who is robo-calling people to push them to some Scientology event. As a long
We already knew about the dog that got electrocuted to death at Keele and Annette Streets and other dogs that have been shocked by sidewalk handwells, but now this danger has entered the human world. A child got shocked earlier today after stepping on a handwell at the corner of
I was getting some online jargon when I saw the lineup for Coachella 2009. The unbelievably good lineup can be seen in alphabetical order here but my issue is with the poster. Here it is. WTF? Public Enemy gets the small font on line four?!?!?!??!
