I'm a day behind when it comes to actually watching Late Night with Conan O'Brien during the show's stay here in Toronto. I can't make it to 01:30 anymore. I need more than the 4.5 hours of sleep that would allow me. Instead, I've been taping the shows
Hot off the wire... John Ferguson, general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, announced Wednesday that the club has traded Ric Jackman to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for defenceman Drake Berehowsky.I know it's a minor deal, but I'll report all Leaf trades up until the trade deadline. I
A couple of years ago, my friend Mark and I decided to create a complementary "release" to our Smells Like Sour series. We wanted to put together 80 minutes of our favourite covers. Here's the songlist from that compilation I called "Cover Me Badd" in spite of the fact Mark

I really missed the game. Every year we have to endure an all-star break and an entire weekend without a game that matters. By this time of the year you're nicely settled in your routine. Saturday afternoon you start thinking about that night's game and Saturday night at 19:00
For well over a decade, I've been dreaming about a full-length movie starring The Simpsons. If I close my eyes tight, I can see it now and it's damn funny. I can also see the smile on my face while I watch 100 minutes of my friends from Springfield on

For those who care... I gave my knee its first real test last night. Since I tore my ACL and fractured the anterior aspect of the medial tibial plateau back in July, I haven't done anything very strenuous with it. Last night I played 90 minutes of pretty hard squash
As regular readers know, I'm going to watch Conan O'Brien tape his Late Night talk show here in Toronto with my brother Steve. We're going to Thursday's show and I'm a little concerned. Listening to CFNY Edge 102 this morning, whose studio is across the street from the Elgin Theatre,

I've just submitted a song via the Smells Like Sour website for SLS11 consideration. I submitted "Ride" by The Vines. If you haven't yet heard this new single by The Vines, you can have a listen on their site. I think it's quite good and worthy of SLS11 consideration. The

Not bad... I actually watched the whole thing last night and thought it was pretty good. The White Stripes were awesome, the Foo Fighters were great and the tribute to funk was extremely entertaining. I even enjoyed the performances by artists I don't otherwise get a chance to catch like
A couple of days ago I lamented in this space about Lennox Lewis and how conflicted I was with his success. He became a dominant heavyweight while fighting for Britain despite growing up in Kitchener and winning a gold medal for Canada at the '88 Olympics. I just read an
As I wrote back in November, I've successfully managed to eliminate my use of swear words around James. James is at an age where he emulates and therefore mimics his Mommy and daddy and I don't want him dropping the f-bomb at the park, in the mall or in front
I have a decision to make. Do I waste my time watching the Grammys tonight? In previous blog entries I've sworn off these horrible award shows with the exception of the MTV Video Music Awards, MTV Movie Awards and perhaps the always entertaining Brit Awards. Clearly, if I were to

Last night, after reading James his bedtime story, he steadfastly refused to go to sleep without his baseball glove. I've never been more proud.
This afternoon with Taryn out running errands for a few hours it was James and daddy time. I decided to make a mix of tunes that really rock heavy. I wanted music we could bang our heads and jump around to for 80 minutes. I didn't want more than one
