My friend has a great NHL Stanley Cup Playoff Blog that you should read.
He doesn’t just recap scores/games/plays whatever.
He writes it from the point of view of all of us over-analytical hockey fans.
He writes with a lot of humour, wit, and hockey knowledge… and he updates frequently!
If you’re following the NHL Playoffs (or more specifically [...]
Best YouTube Parody I’ve seen in a long time.
Combines two of my biggest passions:

You’re welcome.
Thanks to Jason for showing me this amazing video.

Contra – Vampire Weekend
For some reason, and I don’t know why, I became increasingly interested in Vampire Weekend as the release date for this record neared. I revisited their first album, only to discover that I actually liked it quite a bit more than I did when I first gave it a listen. I [...]

So I just saw Morrissey in Seattle.
This was my second time seeing the militant vegan. And I was so excited.
In fact, the whole time I was driving there, I was thinking how I couldn’t wait to get back and write on my Modline Blog about how awesome the show/ he was.
Instead, I’m going to write [...]
At work, we tend to only listen to top40 radio stations. I’m not a big fan of most of the trends that are hitting the airways now (i.e. electro-fo-hos), especially if it’s Canadian top40. I find it to be an embarrassing parody of American top40, and I cringe when it is played… which is a [...]
I’ve got a slight rant.
On October 13, I decided to make the long journey to Portland, Oregon to see one of my favourite bands, Brand New.
