I hope the appeal results in a 90 day sentence.

Ithica sounds cool! The only thing the City of Ottawa would commemorate is the day property taxes increased or the time USA Today named us the 11th most livable city in the world. Ottawa - the city that fun forgot.

I don't know (but that's never stopped me before). You can extrapolate from this - Canada's 3 territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut) combined have a population of approximately 100,000. That's all. Oh yeah; the 3 territories make up about 40% of Canada's land mass.

No need to apologize for that. Interesting piece. Thanks I saw The Constantines and The Sadies do a great version of Astronomy Domine last year - somebody should invite them.

Besides the obvious (The Jam is reforming without Weller), the oddest thing to me about this is that Weller has only seen the other 2 once since 1982. When he says he's walking away, he walks away.

They could do 2 weeks on Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? alone

Said Jack White: Having never done a full tour of Canada, Meg and I thought it was high time to go whole hog. We want to take this tour to

and if I'm 11 and my parents are going through some ugly divorce and I'm living with my mom and there is an outside chance my dad might call me a thoughtless pig, I might not be that punctual returning calls either. In Baldwin's defence, I've said things to people I have regretted afterwards

and Kanye. and Alejandro Escovedo. An interesting lineup.

Them thar Wilco are apparently pretty popular...... I know because I was refreshing every second or so that I was in pretty much instantly. I had one goof up with the stupid code but even with that, I was at the request page within 15 seconds of onsale and I was offered gallery (aka second balcony). The AmEx front of the line tickets were a little better but still no screaming hell.

I was at that show and it was also a date. In answer to the inevitable next questions, I was not in grade 8 and my family didn't come.

No problem. Monday it was just a book. This morning I'm lying in bed and hear he's dead and it was no longer just a book. It felt very odd and I can't say why.

Lyrics are tiresome but otherwise this is better than I expected
