People are observing that instead of an “October Surprise”, Donald Trump appears to have an “October Advent Calendar” with a shocking new revelation or error every single day. Today’s video of him making crude comments about cheating on his wife, an actress he’s about to meet, and […]

Music Monday – “And the girls would spend a couple of bucks/Just to meet the boys working at the pumps/And they’d grow up and fall in love/And they’d all move away.”

Friday Fun Link – Dancing at the end of @officialRPL 50th Anniversary “Retro” Party

Music Monday – “From Winterpeg/The wind is cold, yeah/From Barcelona to Bars so lonely/To semi-on a date”

The Greatest Tragically Hip Video On The Internet?

And I know because I’ve watched them all! But seriously, this part of a longer concert, recorded on Canada Day in London ON in 1989, before The Hip blew up and with maybe 20 people in the audience, is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen… (You may have to fast forward to 27 minutes to […]
