I am the worst blogger ever. Well maybe not the worst but I have some pretty half assed moments. Like I’m in the car driving back from Hillside, writing this blog on my Blackberry, and looking through my pics for something to post. All I have from Saturday is a movie clip of Neptune playing [...]
On my endless wanderings over the internet, I find many roads lead back to Wikipedia. Every now and again I’ll add something or make a correction to something totally wrong (see Misinformation). Then after scouring our Dears entry and following every link, I realise I’m not important enough to have my own link. I mean, [...]
Since we’ve been home, we’ve been watching a lot of Food Network, and doing a lot of cooking. I actually started a very normal habit of buying Martha Stewart Living every time we go to the Costco (it doesn’t get more normal and boring than that, really, and I apologise if that doesn’t meet your [...]
Murray had a very good theory on the CDR thing. We have crackheads who every now and again like to break into cars. So they probably just grab everything they see, then toss away all the CDRs, since they can’t sell them for, well, crack. Then the street sweeper grinds them up the street a [...]
Where do journalists get their information? Even more frightening is the question of how bloggers get their information. Just this week I’ve read the following:
1) Gang of Losers was written by Krief (link to source): WRONG. If the journo had eyes, and knew how to read, they would see that Murray is the only writer [...]
Hi…so The Dears have collected a few Canadian nominations for Gang of Losers. The most notable would be the Polaris Music Prize (our answer to the Mercury (UK) or the Shortlist (US)) judged by a jury of I guess Canada’s most appreciated musicologists.
Next is locally, with Le Gala de l’Alternative Musicale Indépendante du Québec (GAMIQ), [...]
Found this one yesterday. In very bad condition.
Why? Read Neighbourhood Phenomenon here.
When Murray and I actually have a chance to go to the theatre, it is inevitably to see something with lots of explosions. Our last outing was no exception: we went to see Transformers (or as our friend Renaud would say, “Transformatateurs”). There were a lot of explosions and explosive moments, and some action sequences [...]
Every few days, I will leave my house and somewhere on the sidewalk or in the alley I will find a scratched up CD or DVD (see photo), which I am assuming are mixes tossed out of the window of someone’s car. I have three reacations:
1) I wish they weren’t so destroyed - or chewed [...]
In my post, I talked about this lame situation with the $100 laptop (for students in underdeveloped countries), where the two corporations that were manufacturing them were getting into a price war. Here’s that post, about half way down: Crazy World. Anyhow, now they’ve settled the score and have teamed up to do the right [...]
