Maybe they weren't so driven to fear by the media back then. Because yeah, I wouldn't do that either.

Did you plug it in?

I'm looking to download the entire Pitchfork Media Top 50 albums on 2006. Last year I found the 2005 list on oink but oink has banned "collections" since then. Has anyone seen a download to this collection? I don't know too many sites past oink. Thanks.

Yep: Monahan had limited input into the consultation. His advice? "Don't plant any trees." Keep the sightlines clear. I'm a visionary.

Happy Birthday Jay!! You piece you.

It made #5 on Pitchfork Media's best of 2006: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/40007/Staff_List_Top_50_Albums_of_2006/page_5

BNB at Mavericks.

Thanks for the heads up Dave. This will make a great Christmas gift for someone I know. I wouldn't mind checking it out myself... loved these guys. R.I.P. Paul Hester

I'm in if my root canal doesn't get botched.

Yeah, like I said. In his defence he decided to move house in the middle of the project so he probably won't be up and running again until some time next spring, as a guess. Still a great person to contact as he's done lots of research and loves to share.

Hang tough Cully. I know this must feel like an impossible time for you but a lot of us have been there. All my best to you and Kaya.

Hey kitkat, You should contact my friend Randy. His username on here is barcode. He's in the process of building a system that will allow him to convert vegetable oil to biodiesel, although I'm not sure I have that exactly right. He started a blog but it hasn't been updated in a while. Still worth a look: http://www.vegoil.ca/

Last night's episode was one of the best of the season and I still haven't seen the first 20 minutes. The black marker was over-the-top awesome. They might get some heat for that. Such a great, great cast. It should be an hour every week.

That's great. Right up there with Stephen Harper shaking hands with his kids as a truly Canadian political photograph. I'm gonna keep an eye out for Dion on my way to work from now on.

Yeah, I'm up for some local politics. O'Brien is a bit of a joke, isn't he? "But he's a BUSINESS man!!" Ha ha. I think Light Rail is a bad idea but I hope we don't lose a boatload of cash over nixing the deal.

Good stuff. When do things get underway?

Happy Birthday mooose!!

Vernon Fiddler?

Brilliant!

Bah! Missed the replay on Global. Mininova...

And I just clued in at 8:20pm.

Janssen... yeah, the guy who "finishes strong". He's fun to watch.

Whoa does that dude ever look mean. I love how there's interesting players like this in the Western conference that I don't even know exist.

I didn't notice she got the cover story too! More congratulations!

I feel bad when I invite someone to a bar show and the act doesn't start until 11:30pm. It can be a real downer for someone who isn't used to the way a typical bar show works.
