I got the latest issue of Rolling Stone last week, but I'm only getting a chance to read it now. There's an interesting article about how January 2007 was the worst week for CD sales in SoundScan history. The Dreamgirls Soundtrack led the way by moving 66,355 units which

The Leafs could use a little luck. Last night, Peter Forsberg skated for Philadelphia in the warmups but was traded to Nashville before the game, so we got a bad team without their best player. We chased Philadelphia goaltender Michael Leighton from the game after one period and held on
When I shared Gord Downie's Hallelujah with a reader named Whorella Mundane, she told me I redeemed all of Canada. I must have thought that was pretty cool because it prompted me to write this. I just got another message from Whorella Mundane. Here's her manically wicked email in its
In my recent Edge analysis I referred to the upcoming Rage Against the Machine reunion. The RATM reunion might be more than a one off for Coachella. Chris Cornell has quit Audioslave. "Due to irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences, I am permanently leaving the band Audioslave. I
The highlight of yesterday's American Idol was the footage of the contestants viewing a sneak peek of the upcoming Simpsons movie. There was quite a bit of new footage there and some interesting behind the scenes shots. Here it is, if you missed it. Oh yeah, there was also some
On another cold February day in Toronto I'm thinking about late June when the 17th instalment of SLS will be unveiled. Here are a few songs I've recently submitted for consideration. The Shins - Phantom LimbSam Roberts - With A BulletModest Mouse - DashboardThe snow should be melted by then.
I caught most of the Raptors game last night, and it was definitely one of those 2-for-1 victories. It was a big win over a division rival and it was a big win over Vince Carter. Here's a little taste of my history with Vince. Carter's Nets are now 4.
Howard Stern, the man who said he would never again marry, is getting married. He proposed last night to Beth Ostrosky, his girlfriend of the past six years. Stern is a master manipulator of the media, and another Howard Stern has been in the news lately for all the wrong

I thought we owned the Islanders? Rick DiPietro stole this sucker for New York and we had to settle for the single point despite having outshot them 41-20. We're tied in ninth, but only two points behind 8th place Montreal. That's right Hab fans, you're falling mighty fast. Welcome to
While we were recording the podcast of love, Humble Howard shared a story about his friend Lou Schizas, an analyst for Report on Business Television. According to Lou, there's a particular make of sock that's like fellatio for your feet. Okay, he didn't say fellatio but used a term with
Now that Peyton Manning has won the Super Bowl and Phil Mickelson has won a major, who's the best active professional athlete who has yet to win it all? I think it's Barry Bonds. If we put aside the fact he's a jerk and likely juiced up at some point,

Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler star in Reign Over Me, which is scheduled to hit theatres March 22nd. I don't know if the movie is going to be any good but if you watch the trailer you'll hear Pearl Jam's cover of The Who's Love, Reign o'er Me at the
I'm quite pleased this game even got to overtime. Down 3-0, it was starting to resemble the last time we played these young guns. Surprisingly, we came all the way back and even took the lead in the third. I'll take the point. Kris Newbury was taken off the ice
