When it comes to the music you like, where you come from will always play a role. I'm not talking about your favourite music. You'll really like what you really like. I'm talking about the tunes that bring you back to a simpler time when you hear them. They aren't
"My father was a quitter, my grandfather was a quitter, I was raised to give up." - George Costanza, Seinfeld
Phew. Watching a 4-0 lead evaporate had me thinking back to last Saturday when the Maple Leafs blew a 3-0 lead and ended up losing 6-4. Tonight we managed to hang on to secure a much needed two points. Mikael Tellqvist remains unbeaten this season despite a fairly weak third
Jan Miner was 86. She was a New York stage actress who gained fame as Madge, the manicurist in Palmolive television ads. Just the other day Taryn and I were watching a program when a commercial for Palmolive came on the screen. I wondered aloud what had happend to Madge
The Super Furry Animals are a band out of Wales who have just released their sixth album. The reviews are extrememly positive. The BBC collective states the following. "This is an astonishing album that lives, breathes and grows. Go with it." Why am I writing about the Super Furry Animals?
I would have submitted a song via the Smells Like Sour website for SLS11 consideration, only I was beaten to it. I was going to submit "Shake the Blood" by Probot featuring Lemmy. You can watch the very cool video online. For the unaware, Probot is Foo Fighters frontman Dave
When you mention Tim Horton to kids these days, they immediately think of coffee and donuts. Few under the age of thirty know about the hockey player who founded the donut chain. Horton played seventeen years for the Toronto Maple Leafs winning four Stanley Cups. He was feared throughout the
Don't look now, but local boy Mike Weir is tied for the lead at the Nissan Open after two rounds. Weir birdied five of his last seven holes Friday for a 7-under 64 that gave him a tie for the lead with Shigeki Maruyama, a share of the 36-hole record
"To alcohol, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems."
I love Kraft Dinner. The whole family is a fan of this instant pasta product. In fact, we had it last night. That's why I'm writing this. When I was a kid, there was just plain ol' Kraft Dinner. It was macaroni noodles covered in a bright orange power that

To keep up with Philadelphia, Ottawa and Boston in the East, the Maple Leafs had to grab two points against the Hurricanes. Thanks to some great goaltending from Mikael Tellqvist and an overtime goal by Darcy Tucker, we're back into a tie for the conference lead. Tellqvist hasn't lost a
It's been a while since I delved into the vault. Today I took a peek and found an old Blue Jays schedule from the 1988 season. A drawing of 1987 American League MVP George Bell is on the cover and that must be why I kept it. Here it is.

I must admit, I didn't see this one coming. Stuttering John Melendez, long time bit player on the Howard Stern Show, has left to pursue a job with "The Tonight Show". He's going to replace Edd Hall as the announcer of all things. I must admit I still enjoy Howard
Classic '80s Games - I yearn for simpler times. Today's video games are so complex compared to the games of my youth. Pac-Man was a simple game. Frogger was a simple game. Donkey Kong was a simple game. Asteroids was a simple game. If you're like me and you miss
I previously quoted an article about the Canadian Recording Industry Association filing lawsuits against those sharing copyrighted music via Kazaa as stating 20 Canadian were currently being targeted. It turns out there are really 29. Are you a heavy file sharer wondering if you're one of them? Wonder no more.
I got an update from The Hip Club today in my inbox. Here's what they had to share. It's definitely great news for fellow Hip fans. The new record is recorded and mixed. We had a great time making this album and we are totally pleased with the results. While
I figure I've had about 120 haircuts in my life. I've hated all 120. Other than this dread, there is another common thread. I've heard one phrase all 120 times. I heard it again tonight while getting my 120th haircut. The phrase I keep hearing is this: "You have very

Trevor Kidd has allowed 18 goals in five games, but Aki Berg and Ken Klee did him no favours by turning over the puck and gift wrapping a few for Boston last night. The Maple Leafs missed a glorious chance to put a little distance between us and the charging

I don't like you and I wish you'd just go away. Thankfully, my favourite radio station doesn't play "Mono" very often, but when they do I change the station. While browsing the Rolling Stone CD reviews, I came across their review of America's Sweetheart, your solo debut. Out of morbid
