“Liminal” by Rodney Mullen, Inventor of the “Ollie” Trick That Most Skateboarding Tricks Are Based On
Pace is getting into skateboarding which means that I’m getting into skateboarding. š But I came across this article and video recently and did want to share because it’s *very* cool – the guy who invented “the ollie” (flat ground version) on which most modern skateboarding tricks are based who is now 49 years old […]

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 onĀ Canada Day in London ON in 1989,Ā 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 […]

Music Monday – “She’s so young/She’s got the answer/She doesn’t need to question herself like I do”
The Trans-Canada Highwaymen is another Canadian supergroup made up of members of Sloan, Barenaked Ladies, The Odds, and Pursuit of Happiness with a conceit that they’ll play hits from their own bands but only songs that each member wrote for their other groups (which is why it’s ironic that they stick a bit of “Poets” […]
