Music Monday – “Everywhere I go/People know this place/The pride that we all show/Is visible from space” #riders #clf #greycup

Will Kids Be Playing Kronum in the Schoolyard in 50 Years Instead of Soccer or Basketball?

Kronum is a new sport that combines elements of football, rugby, basketball, handball and even Quidditch to create what players are hoping grows to become the first big league sport created in over a century.

RIP Lou Reed (And A List of My Top Five Concerts – Which Doesn’t Include The Lou Reed Show I Saw in Toronto Unfortunately)

The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band. – Brian Eno Growing up and living most of my life on the bald Saskatchewan prairie, my opportunities to see certified rock legends have been extremely limited. Luckily, in June 2000, I was in Toronto for a publishing […]
