Probably the two most viral pieces of multimedia last week were the audio of Christian Bale ranting and raving on the set of Terminator Salvation and David all drugged up after going to the dentist. If you somehow missed these clips, here's Christian Bale's rant (NSFW) and here's David After
Me and my nerdy friends were sharing this video today. It's an ad for Seagate but it's actually pretty good. I don't want to like it, but I do.
I'm going to make my way over to the Kool Haus soon. I'll be checking out the 2008 CASBY Awards. One of the bands performing, USS, impressed me when I saw them at Edgefest. I wonder if we'll hear Porno Star Trek tonight?
I recently shared the literal version of A-Ha's "Take On Me". The people at Funny Or Die have released a second video in the series. This is "Head Over Heels" by Tears For Fears.... literally. Fellow University of Toronto students and grads take note. Do you recognize the library in
I decided to wake up to EZ Rock this week so I could check out Humble Howard's new morning show. Today my alarm went off while Kim Mitchell was singing "Patio Lanterns". In 1986 I couldn't escape that song. It was everywhere. It was on high rotation on 680 CFTR,
Radiohead fans called it "Big Ideas (Don't Get Any)", but Radiohead calls it "Nude". The song was at least a decade old when Radiohead finally slapped it on an album. It's the third cut from the awesome In Rainbows. To promote the release of the single, the band began a
JewelGurl tipped me off that there's now an official video for Weezer's "Pork and Beans". If you're up to date on your viral YouTube videos, you'll recognize a number of the faces in this vid, from Tay Zonday to Chris Crocker and Miss Teen South Carolina. =w=
This is a new Radiohead video, and it's pretty good. Radiohead's In Rainbows actually gets better with every subsequent listen, and I'd be submitting this for SLS consideration except we only allow one song per artist and I'm reserving that spot for "Jigsaw Falling Into Place". It's two children with
Today is the perfect day to share my favourite song from the first band I saw live in concert, Chalk Circle. April Fool
This is The Pogues with The Dubliners performing "Irish Rover". Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Throughout the day, I made four trips outdoors to shovel this snow. It's coming down so hard right now, I'm just going to leave it for the night and get it all tomorrow morning. I'm not complaining about all this snow, I actually don't mind shovelling, I'm just impressed by
Do you remember the Sean Connery movie Finding Forrester? It wasn't a bad little film, I recall enjoying it at the time, but today the first thing I remember about the movie is the song that played during the closing credits. It was "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and "What A
This was BoingBoing'd the other day, so you may have seen it already. It's a cool new video from Canadian band the New Pornographers. It's a visual grilled cheese sandwich on a cold, snowy day.
In addition to My Hootastic Cross to Bear I must confess to another guilty pleasure from the 1990s. I'm throwing this out there in the hopes that my full disclosure will absolve me from all sin. In 1997, Christian-ish rock band Creed released their debut album My Own Prison. Creed
I loved the first Everyday Normal Guy rap song from Jon Lajoie and HhDotCom tells me there's a sequel. Here's the very funny and very NSFW Everyday Normal Guy 2.
retroCRUSH posted the best duets ever, so I've decided to follow their lead and throw down my top ten duets. I've disqualified all duets from bands that are naturally duets. For example, Simon & Garfunkel, Sonny & Cher and Stars. Here are my favourite ten. 10. Eminem and Dido -
Eddie Vedder has unveiled his first solo music video for "Guaranteed," taken from his Into the Wild soundtrack. My brother lent me this soundtrack on Christmas Day and I love it. As a long time Pearl Jam fan, I remember when they stopped making videos. The video for "Jeremy" was
I'm emotionally drained. Today I attended a company breakfast and some speeches, attended a funeral, visited the cemetery, attended the reception, met up with some colleagues for more speeches and a seemingly never ending dinner at Canyon Creek filled with good food and big laughs. I'm winding down with Scotch
Kingston, Ontario's Bedouin Soundclash did an awesome cover of U2's "New Year's Day". Enjoy.
Oh 2007, where have you gone? It seems like only a year ago you showed up, all fresh and new. Now, it's time to say goodbye. It wasn't easy trying to come up with my ten favourite songs from 2007. I had "Nature of the Experiment" from Tokyo Police Club
One of my favourite songs of the year is "Take Me To The Riot" from Stars. It's just a great little ditty. Here's the video. The Stars are responsible for one of my favourite songs of all-time. I don't remember the last time I synced my iPod without including "Your
I shared The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" earlier in the month as a weekly MP3. Normally I only host MP3s for seven days before yanking them, but dammit, this is Christmas, so you can still grab it if you haven't already. If you can't wait to hear this holiday
Is there really only a week until Christmas? Holy crap. Here's a little something from me to you. It's Wham's "Last Christmas". Don't pretend you're not ecstatic.
After hearing It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back for the first time, I couldn't believe my ears. I had finally found music that got my heart pumping, my head banging and my mind racing all at once. A standout track on that phenomenal album is "Bring
