Early in the fall of my grade 11 year, 1979-80, I went out on a Friday night to find the house across town in Truro where Håken (that year's exchange student from Sweden who played on my high-school soccer team with me) lived. We were meeting up to do some reasonable underage drinking and record …

The Darkness's fitba team at the Music Industry Soccer Six, 2003  •  Months too late to be cool, I picked up The Darkness's CD Permission to Land. The entire thing is such a worthy tribute to 1970's power rock or whatever you would call it - the nudie arse on the cover, the Marshall stacks, the …

An interesting discussion over at Boing Boing on the legality of webcasting baseball games you are attending. Last week when I was recording short passages of the Sarah Harmer concert, I did wonder what was the legality but as I was technologically restricted to 20 second clips at most, I am …

There are few things I really like in life, few things I really think are worth while. Giving your pre-teen kids body farts. Growing onions. Pre-reggae Jamaican music.  •  If you check out this link, you will find "Calabash" [1.4 MB .wma file] by Count Lasher and Charlie-Binger's Six, from this …

The Luther Wright and the Wrongs set up before the show  •  So I went to the Luther Wright and the Wrongs on Friday at the Grad House. McAuslan's St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout on tap all evening. Dandy.  •  I guess you would call the band "alt country". Alt is a funny word as it it meant to mean" …

I suspect this is something of a classic street corner for Queens University students. This intersection sits in the heart of the campus and we passed it at 1:23 am last night after watching Luther Wright and the Wrongs at the Grad House with Nate and friends. I may post a review later. I need …

Being the only one in the house not sick or three, I am the only one awake this afternoon. I find myself listening to Acts of Volition Radio show #6, watching the sunny melty day outside moving on, wondering whether it would be so wrong downloading Counterstrike for moments like this, surrounded …
