Spring is when we get busy here in the Ist-A-Verse. Very busy. But, after staying bundled-up indoors all winter, it's nice for us to be out, about, and collecting things to write about for you. Here's a glimpse at what's been keeping your favorite citybloggers busily away from home and out of bed.

It's Thursday evening, you have a few dollars in your pocket and your stomach is running on E. You're tired of eating grilled cheese sandwiches every night, and you're out of ketchup anyway. Next thing you know, the softwood lumber deal comes through. "Good for the provinces, good for Canada," you say to your roommate. Now it's time to celebrate.

In a world where people are willing to spend unimaginable amounts of money on grilled cheese sandwiches and Travis CD's, it's a refreshing change of pace to get a CD free of charge.

The catch - Absolutely Kosher Records offers the free compilation of independent hits (and misses) only to those willing to join their mailing list.
