I wonder if this is going to be mentioned by any media....

R.I.P. Neil Hope a.k.a "Wheels" on Degrassi Jr. High Just found out on Facebook via one of his high school friends. He's been missing for years, and his family just found out he died back in 2007... He was estranged from his family for such a long time, his whereabouts have been unknown until now. He apparently struggled with addiction issues but on twitter it says he died of natural causes. I used to hear about him working at Money Mart on Lakeshore & Islington in Toronto and getting upset that people recognized him from Degrassi. ....Child stardom, sounds like it's a killer.

Hey there, I'm looking to put a list together of the best funk bands, in hopes of finding some to bring to Toronto. here's a list i've put together so far... Soulive New Mastersounds Breakestra Bamboos El Michaels Affair / Menahan Street Band Sharon Jones & The Dapkings Bran Van 3000 Chali2na Galactic Aloe Blacc Bernie Worrel

Saw the season closer tonight, so many great twists! looking forward to the dragons and white walkers in Season 2. Now I gotta find another good series to watch, any suggestions? p.s. that Steve Job's book was great. But what genius asshole.

ha well played... wow, 9th episode really blew me away.. can't wait to see the last one of the season..

nice one! did you also know that Rusted Root is back together? - new album and big tour

Anyone else watching this? It took awhile to get rolling, but I'm really enjoying this one! I'm only 2/3 way through the first season so far... these last couple of episodes look like they are going to be exciting!

All I said is that I found it amusing. I wish them all the success in the world. Brad and Andrew are some of my favorite musicians.

coming up quickly... The Annual Bob Marley Birthday Tribute is back at Lee's Palace with hometown reggae All-Stars The House Of David Gang and Friendlyness & The Human Rights plus special guests including Michael Garrick! This show is also going to be the release party for the new vinyl 45 split by these two Canadian reggae heavyweights. Doors open at 9pm and admission is $10 with a canned food donation to Parkdale Food Bank or $15 without. come join our FB group: http://www.facebook.com/events/258180610913798/

Thanks for sharing. Pugs are great. RIP Marley.

In talking to people from NY music scene who's point of reference is knowing them as The Slip, they find it a bit amusing that they've been announcing themselves as 'from Montreal" so frequently that they feel it's a bit over done. I don't mind teasing them that they are fellow Canucks. Hey if it worked for Arcade Fire then I say go for it. I guess I should ask you Northern Wish, do you consider yourself from Ottawa or From the East Coast (Fredericton is it)? I was born in Toronto, lived in Montreal for 3 years as a kid, Toronto for middle school & highschool, lived 6 years in Nova Scotia then back to Toronto. I'm gonna be in NYC for 2-3 years... Still consider myself to always be a Torontonian with East Coast roots, maybe it will be cooler to say New Yorker in a year or so...

thanks Sean, I'm getting into Games of Thrones, anyone deep into this one?
