"Rollover DJ" is the latest hook-laden single from Jet. It's destined to become the third hit off their debut album Get Born. I've got Get Born and I've been hearing "Rollover DJ" on CFNY Edge 102 and there's a part of this tune that's identical to Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "Taking Care
Tomorrow night, we in Raging Storm play for the championship. Our best of three series, beginning at 18:30 EST, will be played at Centennial Park, diamond #2. It's time for the cream to rise my friends. Leave nothing in the tank. Just win, baby!!!
The CBC has put a rather creative spin on changes they've made to their live radio streaming. If you were to believe their hype, one of several live CBC Radio streaming improvements is a decision to move to one standard media player for live streaming - Windows Media Player. As
Through my cable provider, I randomly won a draw for two tickets to the Molson Amphitheatre. I'll be seeing Kid Rock this coming Saturday night. Kid Rock isn't an artist I'd ever pay money to see, but hand me a couple of free tickets and I'm there for the party.
Throughout the 125th Canadian National Exhibition I've shared stories from my three years working there as a game booth attendant. Below is my final tale for 2004. I have many others, so we'll pick this up again next August. Today is Labour Day and the final day of the twenty
Swimming Pool: 6.5 out of 10. This is another example of a movie with a tiny budget and no special effects that works because of thoughtful direction and pacing. In much the same way Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson carried Lost In Translation, Charlotte Rampling and Ludivine Sagnier carry
Once again, rumours of a Pulp Fiction prequel are making the rounds. This time, John Travolta lit the spark by telling the press Quentin Tarantino calls him every six months to discuss a movie about the Vega brothers. I loved Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs and I'd love to see
Jeopardy returns today after a summer break. Normally this wouldn't warrant a blog entry, but Ken Jennings has made me interested in Jeopardy again. He's won 38 games straight and $1.3 million USD. He's given 1,336 correct answers out of 1,446 attempts which is a 92% success
Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in Winamp and list the first ten songs that play. Here are the ten tunes I heard today. Pearl Jam & Cypress Hill - Real ThingNirvana - School (Live)Ice Cube - It Was A Good DayDefault - Made To LieGuns N'
I've posted a video clip in Videos of James at today's Blue Jays game. Dial-uppers beware because it's almost 5 MBs. It's a .mov so if you don't already have the free Apple QuickTime player you'll need to download it first.
I've posted four new pictures in Pictures. No, this is not a recording. These four are in addition to the four I posted yesterday. Enjoy!
Today I had the pleasure of bringing James to his very first Blue Jays game at Skydome. I'm not sure when I saw my first game, but I recall the first game in my memory and I can still see Damaso Garcia hitting that long bases loaded triple in a
Lost In Translation: 8 out of 10. I had read good things about this movie, but hadn't found time to actually watch it. This morning I made time and I'm glad I did. It's a stunning, tender little flick that brilliantly features Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. I so prefer
"Sun's goin' down, and it's all dark at the ballpark, but that's okay...it's a night game." - "Ok Blue Jays Lets Play Ball", Blue Jays Team Song
So far, so good. Canada is clearly the team to beat in this tournament and nothing short of winning it will be acceptable to hockey fans in this great nation. Although this clearly isn't the Russian squad that gave us fits throughout the 70s and 80s, it still feels awfully
I know, I know. I haven't shared new pictures of James and Michelle in over two weeks. In a weak effort to redeem myself, I snapped several new shots today and I've posted four new pix in Pictures.
During the 125th Canadian National Exhibition, I'm sharing stories from my three years working there as a game booth attendant. Below is one of many. The CNE's midway, full of rides and game booths, is mainly operated by Conklin and has been for decades. I didn't work for Conklin. As

Hey Raging Storm! We don't yet have a date nailed down for our championship game, but we now have an opponent. The Clippers beat The Horny Thorns last night and will take us on for the title. We took them in in the first game of the season and won
During the 125th Canadian National Exhibition, I'm sharing stories from my three years working there as a game booth attendant. Below is one of many. Working at the CNE you could always expect a concert crowd before and after that night's show at Exhibition Stadium. The concert ticket got you

Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. Lady Bird Johnson is next!!!!! MattWhoa. I'm getting chills. Although your Guest Blog is rather cryptic, I'm guessing you're making a bold prediction as to whose name will next be added
I am deliriously happy. All day long I've been walking on air with a song in my heart. All this is the result of a great night of baseball. We didn't receive a bonus for the victory and my wicked stab at shortstop won't be shown on Sportscentre but none
