Congrats. Moving into a groovy new place is always exciting. Now you just need to score in your wicked apartment.

I was just about ready to do that, but luckily I changed my mind. Great game! This is the most entertaining series so far this year, methinks.

That's a pretty cool way to spice up your slum!

Happy Birhtday Lisa!

Damn straight, sister.

You know it's true... Everything I do... I do it for yooooooooooooouuu!

Don't forget the Prince Albert Diner. Is that place still there? I used to love eating there - the food was delicious and reasonably priced!

I figure that the ability of an author to make the reader feel very strongly (either good or bad) about a character is the sign of a very well-written novel. Personally, I can think of few literary characters I would be more eager to strangle than Holden Caulfield. He's a complete twerp.

Great hockey, though! That was some major excitement. I'm glad that my new work schedule allows me to see a lot more hockey - especially now that it's playoff time!!!

I'd like to see you TIG weld or even come close to understanding why it works. so suck it pipsqueak. Your University education is useless by the looks of it. Clearly, you both have very small penises. There's really no other explanation for a "my madd skillz are better than your madd skillz" debate.

I straighten it out a bit, but I wouldn't say that I "make" it - not like when I was a kid and my mom made me do it.

Elvis Costello, Out Of Our Idiot. A rarities compilation featuring outtakes and material released under various pseudonyms. Pretty good stuff.

Happy Birthday, Laurie!! Have a great day and get on the gin train as early in the day as you can!

Well, I'm not bokonon but I would totally recommend "Slaughterhouse-Five". I think it is his best work, hands-down. Also good are "Galapagos", "Breakfast Of Champions", "Jailbird", "Mother Night" and "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater".

Robyn Hitchcock, A Star For Bram.

Shitty news, Brian. Still, I find it hard to believe that all of your hard work will be for nothing - I'm sure something will materialize for you guys soon. Keep your chin up and your eyes open!

Good question. His website lists: 3 July 2008 Montreal Jazz Festival, Maisonneuve Theatre 6 July 2008 Danforth Music Hall I will officially return to Canada just to strangle anyone who lives in Toronto and doesn't go see Richard Thompson at the Danforth. Don't be stoopid, be a smartie.

I just finished "God Knows" by Jospeh Heller - funny shit. The story of King David as told by King David the crusty old Jewish guy on his deathbed. Recommended.

Jonathan Richman, Having A Party With Jonathan Richman.

I like him. I've got a bunch of his discs. Try checking out: Short Man's Room Scar Trampoline Fuse I've got some of his really early albums too, but they haven't struck me as particularly noteworthy.

Bob Dylan, Modern Times.

... died last night. Link

Yeah, better tell them to leave their newborn children and go racing to CTMF pronto!

They've got a gig coming up at the Ricoh Coliseum on June 5. Tickets ($42) go on sale this Friday (April 4).

Happy Birthday Brad!
