"If you take a brief tour around cbc.ca/arts, you'll find a passionate
attack on book clubs, a story about a magazine published in Vancouver that caters to high-end canine owners and a chat with Douglas Coupland about his latest novel. Katrina Onstad reviews Don McKellar's new film, Childstar; Liz Hodgson profiles controversial architect, Daniel Libeskind; and in the first installment of a regular feature called "Alternative Canadian Walk of Fame," Andre Mayer gazes back wistfully at the biggest media rodent of all time, Hammy Hamster. - Greig Dymond, Senior Producer

"When asked to give a quote for the dust jacket to Kurt Cobain's posthumously published diaries submitted this quote: 'Please don't do this to me after I kill myself.' (The publishers opted not to use the quote.)" - From the Eel's All about Blinking Lights and Other Revelations. You can listen to a little bit of it here.
Ween's "Where'd the Cheese Go?" in lego form.
Beck's "E-Pro" video by Shynola and "Hell Yes (Ghettochip Malfunction 8-bit remix)" (win or real) by Mumbleboy.

Apple's Magic Act (January 12) | Fool.com
The Mac Mini and the iPod Shuffle may sound like good news to some, but one Fool thinks he hears the sound of Steve Jobs slipping his foot into a neoprene booty, slipping on Fonzi's leather jacket, and preparing to take a trip off the ramp and over the shark tank. By Seth Jayson

Don't let the headlines fool you (little f). It's about more than the iPod. But the amazing increases in profitability at Apple have one Fool wondering if he's not the one putting on the leather jacket and grabbing for the waterski rope. By Seth Jayson

Post (Halifax Locals)
Junior Boys (makers of Last Exit) at Reflections on March 4th.
That is, if I can believe what I read on the internets.
Here is a thing on the Concert for Asia and an EPK thingy for Matt Mays.
Note: ex-pats Bontempi have a nice, cozy home on the web.
Yet another "next big thing" article on Buck 65 (<- recently renovated).

Film
After reading this pretty typical Top 20 DVD list for the year, I scrolled to the bottom to find 15 other lists that may open my eyes to something new this year. Also, Mark Palermo has listed 175 films of 2004 in order so you don't have to.

Stupid Baby Names
Some may see this as a new low, but I can't help it if parents are stupid enough to label there kids with such silly handles...and publish it in a newspaper. It's not like I am making fun of how stupid many of them look. That would be cruel.
Here are some dandy ones:
* Cash Bartholomew Bertolo
* Maximilian Logan Butler
* Connor John Joseph Cool
* Ayla Laurine Pearl Hogg-Chasbassol
* Logan William Kenneth Leigh Stewart
I also noticed a pattern of frigging up the spelling (I am one to talk) of normal names like these: Emyleigh, Emilee, Rebekah, Rebekkah, Sydnee, and Madyson. Also, the mash-up is popular, like Rylan, and I also gave bonus points to someone for naming their child Autumn Pilgrim.
