Re: New Gig Thread
Just booked my first gig of 2009: Mark Olson & Gary Louris (formerly of The Jayhawks... the both of them, though Olson quit the band in 1995 and Louris carried on until the band disbanded in 2004). I just saw Louris this past year, but it'd be cool seeing the both of them together again. They're...

Re: Best gigs of 2008
1. Leonard Cohen at Sony Centre For The Performing Arts. Although I caught a brief glimpse of the still vital Leonard at a book store event two or three years ago, I never thought I'd have the opportunity to see him do a full show. Tickets were pricy, but this was still easily one of the best concer...

Re: All I want for <insert appropriate seasonal holiday here> is
I wanted an iPod Touch, but Red went even further and got me an iPhone, which I am totally addicted to/obsessed with. I honestly don't feel like I need/deserve much more than that, but if money were no object and people were in the mood to be generous: - Rock Band 2 for the Wii. Is it even out yet? ...

Ugh. A.J. Burnett is no longer a Toronto Blue Jay. $82.5 million over five years for the New York Yankees. Maybe Major League Baseball ought to be the one bailing out the automakers

Best Albums of 2008
Alright, I think I'm finally ready to share my Best Albums of 2008 list. Fleet Foxes had to come out on top, considering it was the album this year that I kept coming back to week after week after week. My praise also goes out to Aimee Mann who put out her best album in years this past year, and Jen...

Re: New Gig Thread
Neil Young last night here in Toronto. The fact that Wilco were also on the bill made it a must-see for me. It was at an arena, and the floor was opened up for general admission, standing room. I showed up about an hour early and managed to get very close to the stage. Opening for both bands was a g...

Re: New TV show: "Spectacle: Elvis Costello with ..."
Anybody have any idea when this is going to air on CTV? As far as I can see it isn't on their broadcast schedule at all next week.

Re: What is the greatest Christmas song ever?
I know it's not technically a Christmas song, but I'd have to go with "River" by Joni Mitchell.

Re: What are you listening to right now?
Cardinology is good, though I wouldn't rank it quite as high as Easy Tiger . Coming up with my Best of 2008 list is actually going to be quite tough... there's a few sure things, like Fleet Foxes, Jenny Lewis, Elvis, Aimee Mann... but no standout No. 1 as had been the case with me in past years. Fo...

Re: Letter from Attorney and Deletion of Posts
Poor fella. Stewy struck me as a bit naive in terms of what he was doing... seems the powers that be are trying to make his online life a living hell. But you guys are taking the right precautions... we don't want this place to get shut down as a result of his poor choices

Re: Mitch Mitchell RIP
All three members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience now gone. This sucks. I always found Mitchell to be one of the best rock drummers of the 1960s... vastly underrated. I particularly enjoyed Jimi's later sessions with the rhythm section of Billy Cox and Mitch Mitchell... it seemed a lot tighter than N...
