CAFE DU MONDE coffee kicks major ass.

Yes. Yes it does. The word beneigh itself gets me half-chubbed...

The Prince of Darkness blend is killer.

Could be a coincidence, but Ideal Coffee carries a blend by that name...

Got a chance to listen to (most of) High Violet last night. Most albums take me a few listens to really get 100% behind, but this one was a keeper out of the gates...

p.s. Thanks for the link(s) ya'll....

I believe the answer is San Francisco...

Ideal coffee is awesome. Kicking Horse is great. Muskoka Roasters make good beans. I actually re-did the owners roof once upon a time; best coffee on a job site. Also, Whole Foods carry some really tasty beans...

link ?

Stoked to see them at Massey Hall in June...

Things I learned:

Basher was right. Ask for what you're expecting and you'll get more or start a bidding war.

Yours Truly was right. Kijiji yielded the most hits.

Craigslist is great. I got a cup of coffee, a hand job and a used fruit juicer from the buyer.

No matter how much pig shit I smoke, my bike still won't make it to the moon and now I have no car to get to the hospital.

Also, if your car isn't worth a whole lot and you're selling it for cash, the above Used Vehicle Information Package is unnecessary...

Good luck Skelter and thanks ya'll...

I did a little poking around and apparently you have to get a Used Vehicle Information Package custom ordered. That link has info on it.

Pooper. I thought I was just going to sell my car tomorrow, buy a QP of DMT and finally ride my bike to the moon...

I'm selling my car if anyone wants it. It'll get you to Ottawa. Not sure about the ride home...

That's hilarious. I've always loved that bit...

Thanks for the help ya'll. Between Craigslist, AutoTraders and Kijiji, my inbox and phone are blowing up...

Thanks for all the advice folks. I just put up a listing on AutoTrader.ca (no fee!) and am about to look into Kijiji...

Ollie, the car is very high milage (circa 300,000 km). It's a '99 Golf and will probably need work in the not too distant future. In all honesty, it's probably not what you're looking for.

In regards to your other question, I brought the car over from the States when I moved here and that process was timely and costly. I'm sure bringing it in from QC is a different ballpark though...

I have an old VW Golf with high milage that I'm hoping to get rid of. I've never sold a car; always driven them into the ground or traded them in. Does anyone have any advice on avenues, other than craigslist, to sell a car in Toronto?

Thanks in advance...

Hells Yeah!

I'm tempted but with the nice weather, 4/20, and no cover, I feel like it's going to hit capacity pretty early. That being said, I don't know what kind of draw these guys have. Thoughts?

99 Problems - Jay Z

How Sweet It Is - JGB

Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd

one of the three might work...

Mine is the ending lyrics to the Disco Biscuits song 'Magellan'.

"Years along the sea and I thought I'd find the sun,

Once around the world and now I think I'm done."

I always found it a bit of a mouthful, but, once it got shortened to YATS, I figured I'd keep it...

All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone...

April Fools was so 2 weeks ago...

p.s. The Onion called requesting a re-write...

Happy Birthday!

This is Canada...

I wish I had a work to hate

Awesome show!

Awesome thread...

I'm a music journalist - I've read 8000 more things about music, books, articles than you have - it's an informed opinion and I think I made pretty clear it was just my opinion.

At least you form you're own opinions...

Well in this case 'in the know' meant for me two musicians in prominent (one-ish) bands, one Soundscapes on College record store employee and our own Allison Billings whose literal estimation was that the Cave Singers stood out over headliners Dr. Dog (I want to say M said the same thing)- you have to remember I take straw polls at most shows and recognize alot of people from growing up in TO and covering concerts later in life, I keep my ear to the ground in a way that a casual showgoer doesn't (nor should they).

Nice piece. Thanks for sharing...
