Finally A Good Non-iTunes Mainstream Digital Music Store For Canada?

HMV launches digital store I haven’t had a chance to try this out yet, but I sure like the sound of it. The tracks are in mp3 format, not infected with one of those ridiculous digital rights management schemes that effectively tells you that no, your music is not in fact your music and if …

Mushroom-Clouded Thinking

Most people who find themselves in the trains category either don’t notice the train, or are distracted by things like cellphones and scratch tickets. They are not like James Lampiriswho got all hopped up on mushrooms, and wandered around the neighbourhood naked and yelling at himself, only to stop yelling long enough to ask a …

I Wonder What He Was Drinking At The Time

What are the odds that a person found lying in the rain hammered would be from someplace called Brandywine?They’re about as good as you’d likely have expected. Hopefully if Dale Lee Buckler ever dries out and remembers the evening’s events he’ll have a nice chuckle about that with the rest of us.

Am I Dumb As A Post For Not Getting Excited Over SoundPost?

I honestly don’t know what to think of the SoundPost system from Povidi. It kind of seems like a step backwards. Maybe it could be kind of useful in doors for locating an information counter, but other than that, I just don’t know. Ok, here’s how it’s supposed to work. There are two parts of …

This Guy’s A Country Song In The Making

I can’t imagine sleeping through my house being on fire like Edward Stefanic did. I mean, part of the roof collapsed. Granted the dude did get pretty severely carbon monoxide poisoned, but still. It’s amazing his bedroom was isolated enough that he didn’t get burned at all. What a horrible night. His mom goes to …

Good lord! That’s horrible! If you’re a man living in Langley, B.C., for the love of pete, shield your nuts! There’s a woman out there kicking random men in the balls so hard that one of them lost a testicle! She kicked them so hard, one went up in his abdomen and ruptured! And there …

Not Everything That Seems Creepy Is Always Bad, Or Why Animal Rights Activists Need To Shut Up And Go Away Sometimes

Is there a rule somewhere that says every animal rights activist who makes a statement that at least one other person is going to read/hear has to be a total moron? That’s the only way I can explain how anybody could possiblyhave a problem with British supermarkets using unsold expired meat to create electricity rather …

She Could Not Be Contained, Even In Death

Ug. If you’re going to put the ashes of a dearly-departed in a locket, make sure it’s professionally-sealed and meant to hold ashes. Otherwise, it may become a leaket, and put the ash in your mashed potatos. I know, that’s a horrible, horrible thing to laugh about. But I can’t stop. I think it’s because …

Oxygen In The Tank, Money Out Of The Bank

I’m not sure if this guy is the same guy we talked about before, but if he is, he’s now robbed four banks…while on oxygen…and just walked out with the money. At least in the last case, he was armed, so I understand why the teller may have given him what he asked for. Man, …
