  • 33rd SNL Season Premier

    Saturday Night Live has captured cultures and historical events. The actors are bred socially aware. Weekend Update, a humorous news broadcast, offers insight on current affairs in entertaining and serious manners. The show was created by Canadian Lorne Michaels, and has produced and featured many great Canadian actors. Tonight is the 33rd opening show. It…

  • Rogers Hates Trees

    There are rumors upon rumors of a Canadian do not call list but while their ironing all of that out, could we tack on a “do not mail either” list? I think the worst offender is Rogers. I get 7-8 pieces of mail from Rogers a month, Rogers Video, Rogers Internet, Rogers Cable etc., –…

  • New Recordings from Parkdale Revolutionary Orchestra

    Five Tracks recorded live at the Parkdale Revolutionary Orchestra’s September 20th show at the the Tranzac are available on their website at http://www.parkdalerevolutionaryorchestra.com/music.html. The next Pardale Revolutionary Orchestra show will be on October 4 at Clinton’s in Toronto with the “melodramatic” (cabaretish) Raha – Definitely not your average pop show.

  • Why Do They Hate Us? The CRTC that is.

    My question for the day is what exactly does the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) have against Canada? According to the Broadcasting Act of 1991 which, in part, created the CRTC: “the Canadian broadcasting system, operating primarily in the English and French languages and comprising public, private and community elements, makes use of radio…

  • Patrick Watson Doesn’t Poo Clouds But…

    In a country as musically rich and diverse as Canada, even to be nominated for the Polaris Prize is a huge achievement. The Polaris prize is, in my view, the greatest musical honour in Canada. It is not run by the record industry. Sales, marketing, and location have no bearing on the outcome. The prize…
