Very stoked the Tricky Woo doc 'I'm Not A Man I'm A Coastline' about the Sometimes I Cry album is finally out in the world. Tricky Woo remain the rock band which I judge all other rock bands against. Here's a love letter I wrote to them in 2002…

@DownGoesBrown The real question is “does this ‘partnership’ block AEW from running shows at Scotiabank Arena or Coca Cola Coliseum?” which would be a * very * relevant clause for a strong graps market.

For the first time, the @PolarisPrize will award an artist or group for penning the best Canadian song of the year.

I asked the five finalists — Mustafa, Saya Gray, Yves Jarvis, Ribbon Skirt and Lou-Adriane Cassidy — to break down their nominated tracks.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne. Sabbath are one of my pillars. When he came to Toronto in 2003 (probably his last great stand as a performer) he very specifically tried to play the longest set he ever had. Check out all the bangers on this list.

RIP Connie Francis. Whenever I listen to modern pop balladeers I always compare them to this song and they always fall short.

@JomboyMedia Can we take a second to salute science for creating the conditions where this wild sequence could be filmed in slo-mo and thereby butterfly effect a man to crawl all over a desk?

@0sttttt @RaveDrool @Finger_Eleven Note for @RaveDrool. There's a story called "Sloan ♥️Elevator To Hell" or similar, written by Chris, that's pretty definitive. I think it's in the issue with David Usher on the cover. There's also a Sloan ♥️ Sonic Youth interview with Jay + Thurston Moore in another.

@JesseGranger_ @goaliesonly @VGKgoaliegirl I don't know how to define what pornography is, but I know it when I see it.

I’m at the #Leafs game right now. If I get on the Jumbotron I’ve resolved to do the Mockingjay salute.
