I haven't been that excited about a regular season Maple Leaf victory in quite some time. When Tucker scored in overtime, I screamed loud and proud. We fought back from a two goal deficit in the third and secured two points we needed bad. Elliot Friedman noted after the game
As previously mentioned, CFNY Edge 102 counted down the top 102 Canadian new rock songs of all time today. They just aired Underwhelmed seconds ago, so you're getting this awfully quick. I threw this together while watching the Leafs game and filled in the cracks with a little help from
Thanks to our neighbours to the south, we're springing forward a month earlier this year. Before you fall asleep tonight, do yourself a favour and change your clocks. For me, that means changing the clock radio next to the bed, the clock on the microwave and the one in the
CFNY Edge 102 is right now counting down the top 102 Canadian new rock songs of all time. If you don't live in the Greater Toronto Area, you can listen online here. If you know me at all, you know this kind of thing is right up my alley. When
"Son, your mother makes a very loud point."
Brad Delp was 55. He was the lead singer for Boston, a huge rock sensation in the 1970s.
I just posted the video for Treble Charger's "Even Grable". The video has a cameo appearance by Hayden, an artist I was touting as the next Neil Young. That got me spinning all my Hayden CDs and searching for his videos. I was hoping I'd find the obscure video for
I was walking home tonight when I started thinking about "Even Grable". "Even Grable" was probably the first Treble Charger song I ever heard, but what I remember most about the song was the video. The video had Toronto street scenes and a cool cameo from Hayden, an artist I
I've commented before on the stupid things Rob Ford says. He's a city councillor for Etobicoke North who says some awfully dumb stuff, but his quote in yesterday's Star may just be his most moronic statement to date. I can't support bike lanes. Roads are built for buses, cars, and
I've been hearing from people since I posted a Tragically Hip hater's analysis of the band. Some agree with him, others know exactly where he's coming from. All of this has got me thinking... I think you either get it, or you don't. If you get it, you get it

I bumped into an old friend the other day told him to contact me through this site. I got an email from him later that day in which you remarked that it's pretty cool I'm working in radio. I've never written about my career in radio because I've never worked
That egg we laid last night was our game in hand on the Hurricanes and we've been joined in a three-way tie for the final playoff spot by the New York Rangers. This is a show down, a throw down. Andrew Raycroft is 2-4-1 against Ottawa this season. With the
When James was two, he was a daddy's boy. I'd be lying if I didn't admit I enjoyed being the preferred parent. James loved his mommy but he wanted daddy to read his bedtime story and if given the choice he'd choose to tag along with whatever daddy was up
Star Wars in Five Seconds - Good stuff.
CHCH, the Hamilton station we watched on channel 11, didn't supply us with a wealth of great television, but they did give us The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. The Hilarious House of Frightenstein starred Billy Van who played most of the characters. Vincent Price would narrate parts, including the opening

John Vukovich was 59. He was the longest-serving coach in Philadelphia Phillies history and a member of their only World Series championship team in 1980.
There might be six females better than every male left standing in American Idol. The Wednesday night shows have actually been fun to watch. Imagine that? Here are my three favourites from last night: LaKisha JonesMelinda DoolittleJordin SparksHere are my three least favourite from last night: Haley ScarnatoAntonella BarbaSabrina Sloan
Lately I've done a lot of writing about TVOntario shows from my youth. I've covered Jeremy the Bear, Barbapapa, The Fables of the Green Forest and Dr. Snuggles, but I've yet to cover the granddaddy of them all. The TVO show I watched the most as a kid was Polka
"Jeremy" is my least favourite song on Ten. That's not to say I don't like "Jeremy", it's just that Ten is one of my favourite albums of all time and "Jeremy" was my least favourite of the bunch. Even if you're a luke-warm "Jeremy" fan, hearing Sundance Head sing it
If you look up inconsistent in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of Andrew Raycroft. One night he'll be so horrible I'm wondering if Peter Ing is still in shape, the next night he'll record a shut out when we desperately need a win. The win puts us 8th in
I openly confess that I never caught Open Mike with Mike Bullard on CTV or The Mike Bullard Show on Global. I certainly knew of the shows, and caught ads for the two shows about a billion times, but I never tuned in. Even though I'm not a Mike Bullard
On the heels of my entry about The Mighty Hercules, a cartoon I enjoyed in the early and mid-eighties, I've found a much better clip on YouTube. This one has the great theme song by Johnny Nash, the voice of Newton I remember so clearly and that great animation when
Lesley just left a comment on my entry about Rocket Robin Hood. "Ah, memories! I was actually doing a search for the Barbapapas and came across your blog. Rocket Robin Hood was one of my favorite cartoons, too. And how about the Adventures of Hercules?" How about The Mighty Hercules!
