Man Man w/ Yeasayer & Dragons of Zynth @ Lee’s Palace, Toronto, April 12, 2008
If I have nothing else to say, it is this: Man Man puts on one mother of a live show. Don’t miss it if you get the chance. Dragons of Zynth kicked the night off. For some reason, I just wasn’t feeling it. Drummer Bizza was hellaciously solid, but Akwetey’s guitar had way too much reverb [...]

Meet my advisor
Some people think “Yours Truly” is tech savy. Here’s the truth. This kid is my technical adviser. I hired him when he was 8 years old. But that was back in the days before Facebook and MySpace. Now kids like this are a dime a dozen. I can literally shout out the window and get dozens of…

Roy Halladay threw a complete game on Thursday night but the Toronto Blue Jays lost to the Texas Rangers by the score of 4-1. Halladay wasn’t his normal self as he allowed eleven hits and four earned runs. Usally when Halladay throws a complete game, the Blue Jays win the ballgame, but that…

Hot Tickets At Hot Docs
When we ran our Sprockets preview last week, we tried to give the piece a theme, and we couldn’t stick to it. In all honesty, we probably overstretched ourselves in trying to give a post on a children’s film festival a theme any grander than "children’s films", and when you get down to…

Thanks, ATU 113. Seriously. I appreciate the two-day strike notice. I don't support your union at all but I appreciate the effort to be slightly less obnoxious by giving us advance warning of the strike. It could have been worse.
