Hoooo boy! Looks like somebody fed us way too much turkey this weekend. We've just come out of our tryptophan-induced comas and realized we lost an entire day. Not only do we have to deal with our tardiness, but also figure out what to do with that permanent dent in the couch. If you can manage to roll out of the house after stuffing your face all weekend, you can burn off some of......

By virtue of the world wide web, Neil Young's famous 1973 concert recording, Time Fades Away, is now available in digital format. Online petitions abound, the classic Young performance has been mythologized as one of the greatest live performances not for sale - supposedly on par with Dylan's Newport performance since Young peeved off the audience with his song choices (ie. not playing Harvest). The songs can be heard right here Other notable unreleased......

Perhaps sampling Rockapella (Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? fame) and referencing Jonathan Swift and his Modest Proposal in your lyrics doesn't seem like the best way to develop one of Toronto's most loyal fanbases.

While we were chowing down on some Lamb Saag and reading a day-old Metro -- oh, Enza the Supermodel, will your antics never stop? -- who should walk in to the eatery but Da Vinci himself: actor Nicholas......

Local playwright Darren O’Donnell got himself in a bit of trouble the other day, when he told Eye’s Paul Isaac that the Toronto theatre scene was, by and large, “worthless.” That’s just not something that you say. Especially when your contribution to the year in theatre was a garbled piece of new-agey nonsense called pppeeeaaaccceee. After realising that he had not only bit the hand that feeds him but his own hand too, O’Donnell –......

With New Order's "Ceremony" featured prominently in the The Life Aquatic trailer, one might assume that Wes Anderson had updated his soundtrack cuts from the late 60's pop gems of Bottle Rocket, Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums to now include like-minded pop gems from the late 70's. With this week's release of The Life Aquatic Origninal Soundtrack, that assumption proves only half right. The soundtrack does hover around the latter half of the disco decade,......
