Jose Bautista is sitting at 46 homers on the season. The Blue Jays face the Tampa Bay Rays at 2:07 this afternoon, so George Bell's single-season Jays home run record could fall over the next several hours. A few weeks ago, I asked Jose Bautista to slow the fuck
I like the Junction. The Junction, for you out-of-towners, is an artsy neighbourhood in Toronto's west end, near Keele and Dundas. This weekend is the Junction Arts Festival so we made the short walk to check it out. I was a little out of place in my Hackey Night tee
The other morning I was listening to Humble on Boom and he did this "impossible question" bit. The crux was that most people hit the snooze button three times a morning. I've never in my entire life hit the snooze button. In fact, for the past few years, I haven't
Rich Cronin was 36. He was the lead singer and songwriter of successful 90s boy band LFO, best known for their hits "Summer Girls" and "Girl on TV".
Back in the day, I threw songs I dug into the Smells Like Sour pot. Today, I just slap 'em up here in case you want to hear for yourself. I love this latest single from The Black Keys.
This past weekend, CFNY / Edge 102 aired what they deem to be the top 200 songs from the 1990s. They did the same thing last year. This year's top 200 is below. Red Hot Chili Peppers · Under The BridgeNirvana · All ApologiesHouse of Pain · Jump AroundNirvana · Smells Like Teen Spirit!The
Inglourious Basterds: 8.5 out of 10. Let's get this out of the way... I love Tarantino movies. He's my favourite filmmaker and he's all over my top 10 movies of all-time list. It's amazing I waited a year to see Inglourious Basterds. What's more amazing is that Inglourious Basterds
Today is the first day of the school year for most kids. I know because I was nervous last night, had an uneven sleep, and woke up with that 'first day of school' feeling in the pit of my stomach. No, I wasn't nervous for my kids. They're both full-timers
I'm running for Terry on Sunday, September 19 at High Park. I'm aiming to raise $1000 for The Terry Fox Foundation. I'm really going to need your help. Donate to my run. They'll email you a tax receipt in PDF. It's easy, secure and for a good cause.

Robert Schimmel was 60. He was a standup comic I knew best from his frequent guest appearances on Howard Stern's radio show.
Tampa Bay Lightening draftee Vasiliy Koshechkin, whose name is similar to the Russian word for kitten, has decided his goalie mask doesn't need to be intimidating. Vasiliy Koshechkin's perfectly comfortable wearing a nauseatingly cute goalie mask. [via Deadspin]
So, we lost last night. Luckily, it's double knockout rules so we can still win this championship. I pulled a boner in the first game, a serous boner, and it's something I don't remember ever doing before. I was batting 2nd in the lineup, and I led off the third
It's been a week since Jason Barr was let go from Edge 102. Jason was 1/3 of The Dean Blundell Show, a very popular Toronto morning radio show, especially amongst teens and those in their 20s. This trio has been together since they took over for Humble and Fred
My comp division slo-pitch team, Raging Storm, has a couple of playoff games tonight. It's two games, and the total score determines who advances and who's done for the year. I like to think of it as a 14 inning game. We had a good season, and I'd argue this
My kids wanted to watch the 1973 Robin Hood cartoon from Disney. I remember seeing it in the mid-80s at the old Westwood theatre. That theatre, sort of tucked away near Kipling and Dundas, still stands, despite being closed down over a decade ago. Luckily for my kids, the old
I just have one question... What the hell happened to August?
I Love You, Man: 6.5 out of 10. I didn't like I Love You, Man as much as you did. Sure, it was cute... and parts of it were actually funny, but as a whole it missed the mark. Firstly, I don't believe Paul Rudd can carry a film
If you've got Google Chrome, you can get a pretty cool taste of HTML5 right now thanks to a cool partnership between Arcade Fire and Google. Google took Arcade Fire's "We Used To Wait" and let director Chris Milk do this thing, and by harnessing the power of HTML5 they've
For all of my adult life, I've showered with the radio on. When I moved out at the age of 21, one of the first things I bought was a shower radio. I think I'm on my third shower radio, pretty good for a 15-year stretch. The picture below was
I caught The Stills tonight at the Boiler House at The Distillery District. We're talking VIP front-of-the-stage stuff, as well as cocktails and grub and the whole nine yards during a beautiful night in the city. It was a super fun night and I've got to thank the gang at
Dog days of summer and all, I've got nothing to say. Consider this an open thread. What's on your mind? What do you want to talk about?
