I have to get serious for one minute here, then it’s back to good times and beer. Last night and Sunday’s installments of the “Path to 9/11″ TV movie on ABC were total bullshit. They bended the truth and re-wrote facts to make their story more dramatic and fit in their tight primetime slot.
I don’t [...]

Flame on

So, Tuesday night’s new episode of Rescue Me kicked my ass — almost as bad as Tommy kicked his brother’s ass. The show’s having a hard time in the States where critics say the third season’s plot is too outrageous [spolier alert]. But I don’t care. I’m gonna sit it out. Nothing else to [...]

This clip makes the Russian Roulette scene in the Deer Hunter look like a game of Crazy Eights. Check out what these dudes are willing to go through to decide who’s the tongue twister master.

Just caught this facinating trailer for 49 Up, a British documentary coming out this fall. Apparently the production company has been producing a doc on the same group of kids every seven years since they were all seven. If math serves me correctly, this will be the 7th film as the group has now reached age [...]

There’s nothing like reading about a good train wreck to pull you through Tuesday. Word around the world is that Paris Hilton should have stuck with home made porn since her singing career seems to be going down the shitter.
Album sales of her self-titled debut album failed to break the 100,000 mark –  something that [...]

Halifax Pop Explosion has released a partial lineup for this year’s festival and I gotta say, it’s not looking explosive — more like snap, crackle, pop. Sure, Joel Plaskett is good, but he plays there every weekend.
We are Wolves, Jon-rae the River and Great Lake Swimmers are also pretty good, but I’ve seen them all [...]

Today’s winners

I know, it’s not even noon, but I’ve already found a fantastic crop of winners. I guess I’ll add more if waste as much time this afternoon.

Megadeth so pissed at UN that they rename their new album
Hey Paul, if you don’t want to be booed, stop beating up the French drivers
Bam Margera’s uncle Vito pinched [...]

Leave the Segway “Human Transporter“ to the meter maids. Sign me up for the Cruzin Cooler “Awesome Maker”.
One of my wildest dreams just came true thanks to this brilliant combination of innovation and design. I normally walk around with beers on me at all times. Problem is, they’re often warm by the time I need [...]

I pre-ordered the new Sloan album today through iTunes Music Store. It’s due out around Sept. 19 and promises 30 new songs. Sure half of the tracks will be Andrew Scott piano interludes, or Chris Murphy humming on the way to get a beer, but who cares, Sloan’s the best band ever. They could record themselves [...]

Today’s winners

A couple of headlines and things that kept me pre-occupied today:

Oshawa saved by American muscle

Munich, Manchester bicker over who gets Calgary’s Owen Hargreaves
Note to Canadian parents: stop feeding your kids milk shakes and chicken wings for breakfast
