The easiest way to make a cover version sound unique is to slow down a quick song. Dozens of artists use this trick on their own hits and on the hits of others (and some artists seem to specialize using this trick on all kinds of songs). This week, I thought I'd feature a particulary […]
Because who wouldn't pay one grand for a single graphic of a red diamond that doesn't do anything else except prove that you have too much money?
I thought about posting a picture I snapped of what my foot looked like underneath the cast but it's kinda gross – still some bruising and a really ugly blister on my heel. Anyhow, I'm now into a walking cast for the next 2-4 weeks and then hopefully I'm walking like a normal person again. […]

Tonight, the Riders clinched the CFL's Western Division for the first time in thirty-three years. (We won't spend time contemplating this level of futility in what has long been a four-team division – yikes!) Anyhow, since I used my most current Rider-themed photo last week, I thought I'd dig in the archives for one from […]
