I just got a glance at the lineup for the 2011 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Here's the poster, followed by a few observations by yours truly. The first thing I noticed is that Death From Above 1979 is on this bill. Welcome back, guys. You were missed.Good
Here are songs in my collection with the word "sick" in the title. Assembling this list, I had to make a decision regarding covers. I decided to allow them, so you do get "Subterranean Homesick Blues" from The Red Hot Chili Peppers. World Sick - Broken Social SceneTymps (The Sick
I'm starting to come back to life after a battle with this bug that's making the rounds. Although I'm a little late, I wanted to write about the Golden Globes. The best part of the show was Ricky Gervais. He was predictably funny with pot-shots at Hollywood celebs who take
Roy Hartsfield was 85. He was the first manager of our Toronto Blue Jays, compiling a record of 166-318 (.343) in 484 games.
I'm really enjoying this new feature... Use the comments of this entry to discuss anything you want. Get something off your chest, start a debate, or simply rant away.
On my long list of things I think are bullshit, right near the top, is astrology. If you think your zodiac sign is anything other than pure entertainment, I have swamp land in Florida you may be interested in. Your zodiac sign means nothing, and it's likely not what you
I'm amused by news Money for Nothing by Dire Straits has been deemed unacceptable for play on Canadian radio. Many moons ago, when I was in grade seven, my teacher ran this program where one kid a day would bring in a song and discuss the lyircs with the class.
The Leafs have won four in a row. James Reimer was lights out last night as we came back against the Sharks. All four wins have been pretty sweet, as most wins are, but I'm not gonna bite this time. The last time we won four in a row, I
John Dye was 47. He's best known for playing Andrew on the television series "Touched by an Angel."
John Hastings is a Toronto Comedian and he's doing his very first headlining appearance as a stand-up comedian at the Downtown Yuk Yuks on January 12th to the 16th. I told him if he wanted a plug he had to write an essay on what he loves and/or hates
Yeah, I'm late on this one. Bautista won the AL home run crown over Paul Konerko by 15 dingers, but I only now realize how big a gap that is, thanks to the Baseball-Reference Blog. In related news, Babe Ruth could hit. In 1920, he had 4 more HR by
A glove tap to YouTube user Retrontario who found this gem from 1987. It's about the ballpark that would be known as Skydome and it includes information about the "Name the Dome. Win Seats For Life." contest I desperately wanted to win. Retrontario barely salvaged this one for us. This
I've been following this blog If we don't, remember me. for a while, and thought I'd share the love. This individual posts an animated gif from a movie and a quote. That's all the blog is, but I love it. Here are a few of my favourites.
The man accused of killing six and wounding another 12, including Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, has been identified as Jared Lee Loughner. Jared Lee Loughner recently started a YouTube channel as user Classitup10. He uploaded five videos in November and December 2010. In the first few, it's mainly gibberish about
Back in September, Sarah Palin launched a target map. She was targeting 20 House Democrats who voted for the nation's new health care law and who represent districts that Sen. John McCain carried in the 2008 presidential election. Here's the map, which literally had targets over these members of congress.
On December 5, 1990, the Blue Jays pulled off their biggest trade in franchise history. Roberto Alomar and Joe Carter came to Toronto in exchange for Fred McGriff and Tony Fernandez. This trade changed everything. Alomar and Carter were key ingredients in our back-to-back World Series championships. Carter was Mr.
As the only Tragically Hip listening, hockey watching Canadian who doesn't drink beer, I'm merely passing this along as a courtesy. The small sized beer sold at Qwest Field in Seattle gives you the same volume of beverage as the large sized beer. You can save yourself $1.25 by
I'm sure I've bitched about this before, but I'm going to do it again. It's my blog, you'll just have to deal with it. It's Saturday. On Saturday nights during hockey season, I go on autopilot and naturally tune in CBC at 7pm for a Leafs game. The Leafs on

Because you don't follow me on Twitter, you didn't get the heads up last night. What else of interest could have possibly been taking place last night? Here's the tweet you missed. That's right, Jason Barr, recently dismissed from the Dean Blundell Show on 102.1, has joined forces with
You know what never gets boring? Da! Da! Canada! Nyet! Nyet! Soviet!
Exactly six years ago today, I wrote Good News For Robbie. Ryne Sandberg was voted into the baseball Hall of Fame and if Sandberg got in, Alomar had to be a shoe-in. I was watching baseball every day when Syndberg starred, and Alomar played the same position, only better. As
Gerry Rafferty was 63. He was the singer best known for hit tracks Stuck in the Middle With You and Baker Street.
I friggin' loved this game. I loved that it was on US soil but the crowd was all ours, I loved that we got revenge for last year and I loved that we dominated as underdogs, destroying our neighbours for a chance to play Russia in the finals. Goals by
The Associated Press is featuring an article about Marie Exley. Marie seems normal enough, she's a 32-year-old Army veteran from Colorado Springs, except for one thing... She believes the end of the world will begin May 21, 2011. To get the word out, they're using billboards and bus stop benches,
