The Toronto Maple Leafs signed Mariusz Czerkawski to a one-year deal yesterday. This is yet another gamble in an off season of gambles. The Polish Prince has scored before, but apparently he was a healthy scratch for many games in Sweden last year. Ouch. Czerkawski is here because he comes
When James was Michelle's age, we shared a passion for The Simpsons. It was our common ground, the one show we both enjoyed and we'd watch episode after episode together. This hasn't changed, in fact, we have a date for the season premiere tomorrow night. A different show has become
This morning, I listed the top 102 albums of 1993 according to CFNY and highlighted the ones I loved and crossed out the ones I hated. This was a spin on a meme and now I'll do it the way it was intended to be done. The rules are simple.
The meme is out there, but Accordion Guy put a spin on it I dig so much I'm going to follow suit. The challenge is to find the Top 100 songs from the year you graduated from high school, list 'em on your site, highlight the ones you like and
New Orleans Flood in Toronto - This map shows the size of the disaster by comparing it to our city. The flood, overlayed on the big smoke, would go from Warden to Jane and as North as the 401. That's almost the entire city.
"First you gotta shriek like a woman, then keep sobbing till he turns away in disgust. That's when it's time to kick some ass."
George Bush Don't Like Black People - A wicked protest song based on Kanye West's infamous "George Bush doesn't care are about black people" quote.

I decided to start tagging the music I listen to on my last.fm page, powered by Audioscrobbler. The first tag I created was entitled "Canadian" and I applied it to every artist I've listened to on my computer since May 2004 that was Canadian. By the time I was
I love Reuters articles like this. A Canadian search-and-rescue team reached a flooded New Orleans suburb to help save trapped residents five days before the U.S. military, a Louisiana state senator said on Wednesday.The Canadians beat both the Army and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the U.S.
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following entry earlier today. Toronto's radio stations are going to be going through major changes in the next while (from an inside source) as certain stations - Chum FM, Q107 & even Jack 92.5
For a new rock station that claims to have edge, CFNY Edge 102 sometimes picks a song to spin that doesn't make any sense to me. Currently on high rotation when it has no business being on the station is Nickelback's "Photograph". First, I should fully disclose my relationship with
I share an MP3 from my collection every Wednesday. You have seven days to grab this week's MP3. Please right-click your mouse and select "Save Link As..." or "Save target as..." so you can download it to your PC before playing. Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah I've shared Jeff Buckley's cover
For a period of time in the late 80s, Vincent Damphousse was the best Leaf on the ice. Other than the often injured Wendel Clark and the inconsistent Gary Leeman, he was the best Leaf this side of Eddie Olczyk. Against all odds, Vincent Damphousse was named the MVP of
This morning, with my automobile running on fumes, I was forced to fill the gas tank. My lifelong streak of never paying more than 99.9¢ a litre for regular unleaded gasoline has come to a resounding halt. Today, I paid 122.4¢ at the pumps. That's over 20% more
Bob Denver was 70. His portrayal of goofy castaway Gilligan on the 1960s TV show "Gilligan's Island," made him an iconic figure to generations of TV viewers. As an adult, "Gilligan's Island" was painful to watch, but as a kid I thought it was pure gold. Good bye little buddy.
I've written about Humble & Fred before. For over a decade the Humble and Fred Show, mornings on CFNY Edge 102, was the radio program to which I awoke. I stopped listening when they moved to the short-lived Mojo 640 and haven't heard a peep out of them since they
I don't remember an NFL without Jerry Rice. For the past twenty seasons he's been one of the most exciting players, a huge part of the Montana and Young San Francisco 49er dynasties of the 80s and 90s. A two-time NFL Player of the Year, Rice holds just about every
Bill Mahar on Katrina - Mahar always makes me laugh. He's puts a humourous slant on a humourless situation.
