I don't like/dislike Taylor Swift, but that Pixies rip-off on the new album is infuriating and I hope they sue for credit.

Katie and I went to a restaurant last week and were shocked the bill was under $40 for two entrees and drinks, like spotting a unicorn.

As a more recent Rush fan, I'm excited. I watched the announcement, and Iike the way they're going about it: as a tribute to Neil. Plus it gives new fans an opportunity to finally see them.

As this will likely be my only chance, if I don't have to skip a mortgage payment to afford it, I'm going.

Weekend movie pick was mine this week, went with THE SIXTH SENSE. Knowing my daughter likes plot twists but doesn't like horror, I was curious how this would go, but she loved it - completely bamboozled by the big reveal. All morning she's been texting her friends to have a movie night to watch it.

Sicilians hated the Mussolini government, and welcomed the US Military (with the aid of the mafia and Lucky Luciano) onto the island during WW2.

That said, Sicily has been conquered so many times, most residents probably shrugged and said "good luck."

He's correct. Even for a hermit introvert like me.

Our local Lego store has a happy hour - no booze, but tables of loose bricks are 1/2 off. You sort through thousands of pieces, get to chatting about your builds, see the same people each week.

Is this the first time there's been a sequel to disaster movie? I can't think of another one.

And I can't believe Roland Emmerich didn't do it first.

We're discussing Adrian Belew’s forgotten 1990 gem Young Lions - where the King Crimson guitar wizard wrote perfect pop songs with ELO hooks, Talking Heads weirdness, and David Bowie guest vocals. #music #podcast #AdrianBelew

My wife and I have been fans of Amy Poehler since she showed up as Andy's little sister on Conan O'Brien's late night show in the 1990s. We've been enjoying her new podcast Good Hang and decided to build a MOC of her studio.

Having flown with my 9-month old, I was more anxious about her disturbing the passengers than anything. Everyone around us was nice, we managed to time her naps with the flight.

Flying home I held her for 2-hours straight and my arms went numb, but she didn't cry, so I took the win.

Listening to an Adrian Belew album for the podcast, this song is an earworm

I'm looking through my telescope
Looking for a UFO
I wonder what they see on earth
Do they see the hate and hurt
Or do they see the Christmas lights and mirth
And hear songs of peace on earth

Gord was my favorite lyricist. Still get choked up when I hear certain songs/lyrics.

Are you really Canadian?

Name three Big Wreck songs, then name three I Mother Earth songs, then name three Sloan songs, then name three Bachman-Turner Overdrive songs....
