  2. I'm a fan of Bidini's writing and thought I'd share for those who have not yet heard about this.

    Dave Bidini’s column appears in this space every other Wednesday. Dave is the author of eight books, including Tropic of Hockey, On A Cold Road, and Around the World in 57.5 Gigs. He’s also made two films, The Hockey Nomad and The Hockey Nomad Goes to Russia, and recently adapted his erotic story collection, The Five Hole, into a critically-acclaimed stage play with the One Yellow Rabbit Theatre Company. His former band, Rheostatics, are considered among the country’s finest, having won numerous awards and citations.

  3. btw - I highly recommend people get the Constantines album from a record store as opposed to off iTunes if you can b/c of the cool artwork. Available starting April 15th (this Tuesday) at stores in Canada.

    Dallas (the bass player) did the art-work for the album and it's pretty fuckin sweet. The inlay replicates the Cons' practice space and the exterior unfolds to replicate an airplane.

    Dallas also has some of his model airplanes on display right now at an exhibit @ the Whippersnapper gallery in Toronto (across the street from Orbit Room).

    It's part of a cool exhibit happening right now (ends Monday I believe) that is a bunch of musicians' artwork (including folks like Buck 65, Andre Ethier, Justin Peroff of BSS, Chad VanGaaleen, etc. etc.) more info here:
