Every MP3 in my collection can be seen from this page. I ironed out some the wrinkles, fixing listings for "Offpring" and "Tragically Hip" so they appear beside listings for "The Offspring" and "The Tragically Hip". This is every CD I've ripped into MP3 since I began this project all

As I write this, I'm listening to an 8-Track player. That's right, the guy with the MP3 collection is listening to Stevie Wonder's Innervisions and Styx' Equinox on 8-Track. This was one format I completely missed. As a child, I owned a few records but the main format I collected
Three new videos of James are now available for your viewing pleasure in Videos. They were shot this morning shortly after he woke me up at 07:15 EST. Don't worry, although I deleted the three videos from a few weeks ago, "James makes animal noises" from February 1st remains.
I am a devout follower of the Toronto Maple Leafs. My favourite time of the year is the NHL playoffs, I watch every single Leaf game and religiously stay abreast of all the on and off ice action. Some would call me a diehard fan, but they would be wrong.

Watching this painful Leaf game, I needed a good laugh. I just got one. It seems long forgotten bland bar band Hootie & the Blowfish released Best of Hootie and the Blowfish (1993 Thru 2003) this week. That's right, Hootie & the Blowfish have released a greatest hits compilation in

I rarely praise Canadian television. That's mainly because it typically sucks. Sure, we've produced some very funny skit comedy shows a' la Kids in the Hall and every once in a while we churn out a Degrassi or The Newsroom, but great Canadian television shows are few and far between.

It's been over a month now since Isiah Thomas hired Lenny Wilkens as coach of the New York Knicks. In my entry from that day, I openly laughed at Knicks fans. You see, I'm writing from experience. I watched him lead my Raptors for three seasons during which time he
Welcome to Toronto Mr. Leetch. We hope you enjoy your stay in our fair city. With nights like last night, it looks like it will be a pleasant one. Your three assists led us to an easy victory and our power play seemed much more formidable with you at the
