For the past 30 minutes I've been trying to secure "front of the line tickets" for The Tragically Hip show in Toronto on June 24, 2006. It's not going well. My destination is http://www.thehip.com/Store-Tickets.html but it's not liking my username and password. I've definitely registered,
For the record, as of this moment, Teri Polo is not dead. I thought I'd make this declaration as a public service. Every day, without failure, I get a referral or two from Google searches for teri+polo+dead. Many believe the 36 year actress has passed on. It was

Overnight: 7 out of 10. This is a documentary about Troy Duffy, the man who wrote and directed "Boondock Saints". It's absolutely compelling as we watch the rise and fall of Duffy, a man who suffers from extreme delusions of grandeur. His massive ego is a byproduct of insecurity as
The Tragically Hip are playing a show in Toronto at the beautiful downtown setting of Historic Fort York on Saturday June 24, 2006. Joining The Hip for the show will be The Weakerthans and The Sadies. I'll be trying to score tickets tomorrow morning to make it nine. For setlists,

I sure wish I could watch these games. Canada is 2-0 with two decisive wins and I've been unable to watch or listen to a second of live action. Five different players scored for Canada as we outshot Germany 40-12. Tomorrow is a day off before returning on Saturday to

As recently as December I was all jazzed up about the awesome new music coming out of this country. I wrote this entry about the amazing home grown talent I enjoyed in 2005 in which I gave props to The New Pornographers, Broken Social Scene, Metric, Feist, Hot Hot Heat
Canada has earned its fourth medal at the Turin Olympic games. Prevost, Quebec's Anouk Leblanc-Boucher won bronze in the women's 500-metre short-track final.
The Italian hockey team should be proud. They made a game of it for over a period, even tying the game early in the second period before the World's greatest hockey team took over. Jarome Iginla led the way with two goals as we outshot Italy 50-20. Of course, it's

Giulio Scandella just scored in the second period to tie the Canada-Italy hockey game at one. This is not a test.... My 9-0 prediction is looking less likely by the second. Red Alert! Red Alert! Red Alert! Red Alert!
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story: 5.5 out of 10. 5.5 out of 10 suggests I didn't particularly like this flick. Sometimes my patented rating system can be deceiving. I expected so little from this movie that I actually enjoyed all 92 minutes. The key to happiness is low
I wrote about "The Grace" from Neverending White Light just the other day. With CFNY Edge 102 playing it once an hour throughout the day, I've had ample opportunity to detect allusions in the melody. Call me crazy, but I hear more than a little "I'm Not In Love" by
Imagine if the Raptors didn't start the season 1-15. If you discard those first sixteen games, we're a respectable 19-17 and comfortably in a playoff position. Against all odds, the Raps are actually playing some entertaining basketball these days. Chris Bosh has been rewarded for his effort by being only
Last Valentine's Day, I spouted off about how contrived I think this artificial Hallmark holiday is. This year, I'm going to celebrate one exceptional thing that has come from this date on the calendar: I Love Lisa. Originally airing on February 11, 1993, The Simpsons episode "I Love Lisa" is
Canada has earned its third medal at the Turin Olympic games. Alberta's Beckie Scott and Sara Renner won silver in the women's team sprint cross-country skiing competition.

Earlier today, my brother Ryan sent me this picture which is said to contain 72 musical artists. Without cheating, I challenged myself to find all 72. As you'll see from clicking that link, I've so far only named 62, and I'm pretty sure a few of my guesses are wrong.
