The Chameleon

How can we suck so bad right now with one of the best pitching staff's in the majors??? I hope Cito can light a fire but realistically we need another Paul Beeston or Gord Ash in the front office..without a real "baseball man" in there I think we have problems. This can also be said about the Raptors..as long as Richard Peddit is the owner (a hockey guy) we are in trouble. I hope I'm wrong.

Huge loss for the Canadian music scene and the experimental music scene in Toronto. A true original

I second that. And the Chameleon Project set will feature a special guest appearance by DJ Rollin' Cash adding another layer of dubby bisnizzz!

Page is such a straight shooter and down to earth. I respect that guy.

Disco Biscuits Get Busted En Route to Bonnaroo Posted Jun 17th 2008 5:30PM by Benjy Eisen Filed under: News, Exclusive, Bonnaroo Story link The Disco Biscuits took their late-night set to new heights on Friday at Bonnaroo, performing straight on 'til daybreak. A three-hour marathon that went more than an hour past their 4am scheduled stop, the Biscuits had special encouragement to play their hearts out -- it was a direct order from Tennessee's Cumberland County police department, who stopped them en route, searched their tour bus, and wrote citations to certain members of the band and crew for carrying personal amounts of marijuana. During the song 'Nughuffer,' bassist Marc Brownstein recounted the events with his typical humor and flair, claiming the officer hugged him and told the band to "play the best set of their life," even after confiscating their pot and writing citations. Brownstein then asked the officer if he could have just a small amount of it back so he could twist one up for the final 90 minute stretch to the festival. When the cop obviously said no, Brownstein told him he was going to do a search of his tour bus twice as hard as the police because he was sure he could find something left, somewhere. We're pretty sure he was right.

True I guess you are right he is at an all-time low trade wise. I disagree though I think these days he is pretty terrible. They fucked up paying him waaaaay more than he was ever worth.

Anyone think we should trade Vernon Wells? Seems kinda like baggage these days. Couldn't we get someone good for him?

What a line-up! As long as Chick stays away from the paper thin cheesy synth tones everything will be great. Al Dimeola is a monster player as is Lenny White.

Killer Tortosie are a great group of improvisers! Look forward to it.

I stand by that claim. If you check every catcher we've had that has played a reasonable amount of games (see. Greg Myers, Pat Borders, Gregg Zuan). You will see Ernie Whitt has the best stats lifetime and season... He just wasn't with us when we won the title.

Coldplay is like Radiohead if you stripped away all the challenging writing and quality musicianship. I really think they are the Air Supply of the new millennium. Have they ever wrote anything other than a whiney ballad?

Ooops you're right. Mod Club it is...

Hey! I wanna know why they fired Ernie Whitt!!! I love that guy. Best catcher they ever had.. If we're bringing back Cito why not keep Ernie?

Stay away from Jaco Beach. Very overcrowded and has been having recent crime waves. I stayed in Tamarindo 1year ago and it was great. Nice little town. you'll love the country.

Well worth it. I have seen RJ a few times and he is a top notch turntabalist. I believe the show at the Supermarket is all 45s too... Get on it!

I have heard the Blobject. Nice little band, lots of potential.

Wow that does look good... Pat Martino Mike Stern Les McCann Barry Harris Hank Jones and more for free! WOW!

Par for the course. I am not surprised even a bit. Kanye was so much better as a dedicated producer.. STEP AWAY FROM THE MIC!

Exactly he was a big part of Dr.Hook's success..

[color:green]So last night I was walking home from practice and I saw the road I take home blocked off with Police tape. Turns out it was a double homicide, where 2 25year old males were shot in their car in a possible car jacking gone wrong. I always thought I lived in a safe area..guess not. ---------------------------- Double Murder Victims Identified Friday June 13, 2008 CityNews.ca Staff A double murder in the city's west end has left two men dead and police hunting for clues. Emergency crews were called to the scene on Walnut near Richmond streets early Friday morning. Once they arrived, paramedics found the victims inside their vehicle, which was running but in park. "They found a high end Range Rover with a total of three occupants inside. There are two males in the front seat of the vehicle. Both deceased. Both still wearing their seat belts," outlined Det. Sgt. Gary Giroux of the Homicide Squad. EMS officials worked feverishly to save their lives, but they both succumbed to their injuries and died on the way to hospital. Neither man was known to police. The third person in the car is believed to be the girlfriend of one of the deceased, but police would not confirm those reports. "That person is cooperating with the investigation and has been spoken to by the Homicide Squad," Det Sgt Giroux allowed. The forensics team is still on the scene and expected to remain there until late Friday. The SUV is covered with a tarp because of the expected rain. Police also expect to get some clues from cameras in the area. "It's a co-op portion of the city, and a number of the buildings in that area are covered by video surveillance," explained Giroux. The victims have been identified as Dylan Ellis and Oliver Martin, both 25 and from Toronto. They aren't known to police, or any other law enforcement agency in Canada. "They were visiting friends within that co-op complex and they were watching the finals of the NBA playoffs" just before their deaths, Giroux said. One man, who said he had known the victims since he was 10 years old, was visibly shaken. "Senseless, random. These are the nicest people you ever met in your life. I don't know two better people," he lamented. The pressure became too much, and he couldn't continue. "I, I can't, I can't talk to you guys," he stammered, then got in his car. Ellis was a graduate of a college in Quebec and was pursuing a career as a photographer. Martin was a graduate of a university in southern Ontario, and had been working in Toronto's financial district. Their families are both in the Toronto area. The vehicle belonged to be one of the victim's fathers. There's no clear motive in the case, although there's speculation it may have been a carjacking gone wrong. Shocked neighbours came out onto the street after hearing the shots but it's not known if anyone saw the attack take place. "All of a sudden I heard really loud noises and then I was nosy and I came downstairs and realized two people had been shot around the corner here," related one neighbour. "Makes me feel unsafe, you know. It's a really strange thing not to know what's going on so it's a little scary," commented another. Most couldn't believe a murder like this could happen so close to home. "I find that incredibly, um...difficult to fathom, because this is such a safe area," a third described. Ellis and Martin are the city's 24th and 25th homicide of 2008; 13 of which were gun-related. At this point police haven't released a suspect description. However, Giroux had this to say: "I do believe that the shooter or shooters are familiar with that particular area of the city and I'm seeking the co-operation of the community with regards to their assistance in identifying who's responsible for this." Anyone with information in the case can contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477). Meanwhile, no arrests have been made yet in the double shooting of two teens in Regent Park Wednesday. The victims were struck near a playground and both were rushed to hospital in a bystander's car. One man, 18, was shot twice in the chest and remains in critical condition, while a 15-year-old boy is expected to recover after being shot in both legs. 2008 a terrible year for attacks on the innocent Story link

Collingwood has really turned into a viable tour stop for bands now. Mostly due to Allison's hard work. Way to go!

Indeed. I saw the Escalate show at this venue a couple months back. Love the vibe. Can't wait.

nice pics. Wouldn't it be nice if Toronto had free shows like this? Instead we get weird little shows across from the Eaton center.

In the current music business climate and the era of downloading music licensing is an essential revenue stream that you would have to be insane to ignore. However as an artist you can choose who licenses your music, so your work is represetned properly.
