Please check out this youtube video of spiders being studied under various psychoactive and otherwise intoxicating substances. The findings are very true to life, and downright hilarious. I'm absolutely flabbergasted at the quality of research put into this particular study, and urge you all to take a close look at what could provide fascinating insights into our own lives and livelihoods together. I'm almost at the point of weeping, it's just such a beautiful and harrowing tale that these spiders tell. Like an episode of the Wire when a main character finally gets got, or when they introduce another layer of time traveling paradoxes in Lost.

In news that may or may not be related, depending on how cynical or
optimistic you might be, I recently recorded an interview with ex- Headstones singer and Flashpoint/ Hard Core Logo star Hugh Dillon, for my inaugural podcast entitled " Sex, Drugs, and Spoken Word". Continue reading...

Terrible news to report: Sparklehorse genius Mark Linkous, perhaps best known for that Wish You Were Here cover with Radiohead, was found dead Saturday after committing suicide in his Knoxville, Tennessee home. His recent collaboration with Gnarls Barkley's Danger Mouse, Dark Night of the Soul, is coming out shortly. Continue reading...

While the Jays had at least two offensive juggernauts by the end of 2009 in All-Star starting Second Baseman Aaron Hill, and .305 average, 35 home run hitter Adam Lind, they were still a shadow of the team they might have been at the plate. Gold Glove center fielder and former 30/100 man himself Vernon Wells was recovering from a wrist injury that underwent surgery in the off-season, and bright light Travis Snider was still struggling with coming into his own as a power hitter in the major le...

It's finally through. The shortlived career of Don't Mind Dyin', spanning less than two years, has come to an end. Last night at the Jimmy Jazz in downtown Guelph, one of the fastest growing metal phenomenon's in the region called it quits, as previously reported on this blog. The Time the Destroyer opened performance was a genuinely sold out free show, christening the Jazz's brand new PBR tap, and it was a stellar night. Free t-shirts abounded, bouncing off the walls all night from the merch bo... Continue reading...

The Toronto Blue Jays continued pre-season action today, clobbering the New York Yankees 9-1 with the help of young but nearly forgotten starter Shaun Marcum, who came back to pitch for the first time since 2008. Marcum pitched two scoreless innings, allowing only one walk and striking out two, showing that the Blue Jays may have more help for the bullpen this year than has been expected since Marcum and Dustin McGowan were announced to be missing out on the entirety of the 2009 regular campai...

If you're anything like me, you're interested, expentant, and maybe even a little sceptical about the new Spoon album that's just come out, called Transference. We all know that Kill The Moonlight, the Austin, Texas band's 2002 masterpiece, was, well, their masterpiece, and that Paper Tiger from that record is the best song they could possibly produce, and that people going GaGaGaGaGa over Gimme Fiction and it's single I Turn My Camera On thanks to the OC and the likes, are a little late to th...

With electronic media being a dodgy source for legitimate information and news at the best of times, I feel it's necessary and even to a certain degree benevolent for internet sources to be up front about any conflicts of interest that arise out of their publishing of issues that may be, for lack of a better term, close to the heart. So I'll come right out and say that this next item, though not without value as a general piece of Canadian trivia, is of particular interest to me in particular ... Continue reading...

PFM reported yesterday that Toronto's Bloor St. W. by Palmerston is now home to Sky Blue Sky Sandwich Shop, a restaurant that features food exclusively named after songs by the great American rock band of our time, Wilco. Though the best songs referenced in sandwich form are 'She's a Jar', 'Outta Mind (Outta Site)', 'California Sun' and 'Mermaid Avenue', these are obviously huge Wilco fans. Unfortunately, no food is represented by songs from the recently bygone decade's bonafide best album, ' Y... Continue reading...
