I don't know the song.

What, the Sloan album?

if that's a word. I know it's not' date=' cause I looked it up. [/quote'] So did I: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/underwhelmed

They don't jam or change-up their songs live, so I'd be shocked if they played longer than 90 minutes.

I saw Kings of Leon on their first-ever gig in T.O. four ago at Lee's Palace. The were on a bill with... gulp... Jet. Anyway, Leon played a good set, but it barely scratched the 50 minute mark.

Richard Jeni killed himself yesterday. Here's Ain't It Cool's report: Rest In Peace Richard Jeni Hey guys. Quint here with some sad news. Comedian Richard Jeni died yesterday from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Of his movie appearances, the only one I really remember with any fondness or clarity is his portrayal of the best friend to the Jim Carrey character in THE MASK. He was very natural and likable in that flick and looking back on it now I'm surprised he didn't get more supporting work. My main memories of Jeni come from my adolescent years when his specials ran on cable. I was addicted to stand-up comedy at that age and I would watch anything I could, as long as there was a mic and a comedian trying to make me laugh I was happy. I loved the stand-up movies, like Eddie Murphy's RAW and DELIRIOUS and RICHARD PRYOR LIVE ON SUNSET STRIP and BILL COSBY'S HIMSELF. As much as I liked those films, there was something about watching a cable special, like George Carlin's stuff, or just random people I hadn't heard of and had no expectations of... I don't know, it was almost more personal, more affecting to watch a cable special than a feature. I caught Jeni's work there and I seem to remember him hosting some USA channel comedy specials. He always came off as a laugh a minute, happy man, which makes his apparent suicide all the more shocking. It's a shame whenever anybody takes their own life and I wish he was in a better place in his life and didn't feel he had to end it. My thoughts go out to Jeni's friends, family and fans.

Seconded. The best Monday night of music in the city no matter who's playing.

With no Syracuse (and I don't think they deserved to make it this year), I'll be pulling for 'Nova or another Big East school, but not the Hoyas.

I've been on a few boards chatting with some big Leon fans and the majority say that the Leon boys still play a 60-75 minute set. I was underwhelmed by their last album, but have heard good things about the new one.

I got this from Ain't It Cool. I like the guys involved. I will check this out. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31799

R.I.P. Mel Tormé.

It's pretty common for people and critics to dump on a band when they release a follow-up to their breakthrough. The rant made me tired.

It's about sales. I doubt even the great Time Out out-sold those hack albums. Jazz doesn't sell well compared to pop, although I believe Head Hunters is still the best selling jazz album of all time.

I'd bump Dusty off of the list for Mr. Nat King Cole.

In the Borat film, his scenes involving overt misogyny and sexism worked because it's symbolically true in many parts of the world and even to a smaller extent in North America. Same with anti-semitism and gay-bashing.

It's hard to argue with sales even if there are far better albums out there... and there is. Public Enemy sold lots of albums but Boogie Down Productions in some ways were more groundbreaking.

Although Eminem has him beat sale wise thanks to the crossover appeal - i.e., white audience.

The list makes sense since it reflects sales and not influence and longevity. Certainly the first Clash album was just as influential as London Calling. Live At Leeds was a precursor to punk as was Kick Out The Jams and The Stooges' Fun House. But they barely scratched platinum in sales. Go figure.

The song Toronto is on Five O'Clock Bells. As far as I know, he never wrote a song called New York City, but he mentions both cities in the song Five O'Clock Bells. Theme: Songs About Toronto 1. Final Fantasy - The CN Tower Belongs to the Dead 2. Rheostatics - Dope Fiends and Boozehounds 3. Rush - YYZ 4. The Shuffle Demons - Spadina Bus 5. Tragically Hip - Bobcaygeon 6. K-OS - Flypaper 7. Maestro - 416/905 (T.O. Party Anthem) 8. Kardinal Offishal - Bacardi Slang 9. Lenny Breau - Toronto 10. 11. 12.

I think they can beat Indiana and Cleveland. They match up well with Chicago, but Detroit will clean them. However, if they play like they have over the past 5 games, they won't make the playoffs.

Sometimes albums connect to one generation. I think Alanis' big album may find the same fate as Tapestry, and I think they are comparable. Both are women-empowered themed, but during different stages historically.

I second checking out Camille Paglia. I don't agree with everything she says - I'm not sure she believes everything she says - but she's an important and controversial feminist.
