Maybe he's going for this kind of look:

He's 25 years too late for anyone but newbies to Q107 to care.

There was a quiet switch from alternative to modern rock in the late '90s. Alternative started to be perceived as a genre. The Pixies were certainly embraced by the alternative scenesters, but their sound had/has lots of mainstream appeal, even though they had just one real hit.

I heard about this the other day. Very tragic and shocking news.

It would be great news for Hamilton's downtown revitalization if the stadiums are located near the core.

Hey Greg, how close to downtown core will the new stadium be? Those pics look cool.

Yes, Hamilton will be getting a 15,000 seat track and field stadium (and velodrome) that will be converted after the games as a new home to the Ticats. One good thing about the new stadium is that it will be located very close to downtown. But personally, I don't like football played on track fields since they push the seating back.

zero is correct. The single crossed over from alternative to the mainstream, which was almost unheard of in the sucky '80s. The Replacements wrote some awesome power-pop singles, but they never crossed over, although I doubt they could have handled the fame if they did have real hits.

Likely because it was in the It's Pat movie.

Overrated? Big hits - or even if a band really has just one chart topper - often are viewed by fans as overrated, but "Here Comes Your Man" is still a perfect pop tune from a decade filled with shit.

I've had the pleasure of witnessing The Pixies do "Here Comes Your Man" live, even if the show wasn't overly pleasurable since it was at Mississauga's horrendous Arrow Hall.

I like that some of the regions of the Golden Horseshoe will get well needed and deserved mass transit infrastructure and Canada will benefit with a few new athletics facilities - Toronto's mostly disgraceful waterfront will get some positive construction boosts for a change - but it will be difficult getting enthused about travelling/commuting quite lengthy distances to get to the events. Barrie, Oshawa, Markham, Scarborough (in a depressing part of the borough), Hamilton, to name a few, are all hosting key events, but they aren't centrally located nor close to one another either: I don't know that I'll be jumping on a GO Train to see Bolt run at the new track in Hamilton. But then again, it is the Pan Am games, where the only events I care about are track and field (with the US, Cuba and Jamaica), baseball, boxing (Cuba, US and Canada) and soccer. It'll be interesting to see how Toronto and the governments will spin the upcoming logical mess these games will pose. Welcome to the commuter/urban sprawl games.

"Here Come Your Man" is one of the great power-pop tunes on the '80s. The Pixies rule.

It was unfortunate, but it was shoulder to back and his head hit the glass, but not a head shot. Charging? You bet. It's all pretty ugly and I really hope the kid will be ok.

Was it a head shot Roller?

Even noted pacifist and all round weasel, Damien Cox, seems to think Liambas isn't a goon.

Tyke baseball, hockey and basketball. Does drunken darts at Ryerson or Chunga Dave count?

He's earned a break. I can't wait for his return, no matter when it is.

I haven't given it much thought - I've been mentally making a Top 10 of the decade list instead. I like the Monsters of Folk album quite a bit though and perhaps Dead Weather.

But hey, they've added HD-Big Ten. Why? I don't know, but the channel will come in handy during the NCAA basketball season.

I'm going that route for every MH show I am too.

Really? At least I can still watch Supernatural on WB. Other than that, the station blows.
