Today is one of those rare and strange days with absolutely no commitments. Made even more odd because it’s a Tuesday. You know how people like to find celebrity lookalikes for themselves and their friends? Yes? No? Just the foolish people I know? For whatever reason, my friends are always at a loss when it comes to me and can never think of anyone. EXCEPT this one time a girl told me I look like Ingrid Michaelson. I think it’s the […]
I loved them when I was 14 and I love them now. The band Stars are Montreal legends. It has become tradition that, every autumn, the lovely Ms. GB and I attend a Stars concert in the fabulous city that both we and the band calls home. Sadly, my bestie and I are parted at the moment, but I was fortunate enough to be asked by another stellar individual to go to a free Mother Mother and Stars concert organized […]

This morning a message from one of my favourite singers, Kate Nash, popped up on my facebook feed. It urged me (and I suppose the rest of the ‘like’ Kate Nash community) to go buy the newest Peggy Sue album, Acrobats. I didn’t- but I did check them out. They’re a pretty cool band from Brighton, UK. I’ve embedded my favourite, but there are also some really great ones of them doing street-side performances in a few cities. The video […]

Hey friends. Most of you have noticed that I’ve been really slack on the whole snapshots and needle drops business. My apologies. I promise to post a lot more frequently this month. I just spent a couple of wonderful weeks on the west coast and I snaped some pics that I’d like to share with you all- starting with this one of the laughing statues at English Bay in Vancouver. The song is Raggamuffin and is the first single by the young Belgian […]
Michael Bublé and Tony Bennett have done a duet to Don’t Get Around Much Anymore. I’ma say it again: Michael BUBLE and TONY FREAKIN‘ BENNETT did a duet to Don’t Get Around Much Anymore. You might have to watch an ad. What were you really going to with those ten seconds anyway? The video, which has just as much swank as these boys do, is free on itunes this week. No further explanation needed. GO!

This beauty was waiting for me by the staircase to my apartment. I’m a big fan. You can’t really tell from the photo, but this mama is huge. Probably about 30cm wide- pretty big for the urban jungle. I thought I’d follow up yesterday’s super sombre post with a super jubilant one. I especially feel this song is apt as this is my first post from my brand… new… computer! Woot! This baby allows me to open iTunes and iPhoto […]
