Oh to be that shoulder strap.

I have just become a huge fan of Chloe Charles. Saw her perform on Thursday afternoon at a free concert and I was blown away. Listened to her Break the Balance CD and was not dissapointed with any of the songs.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the reports on the rain and flooding in Toronto ! I hope all of our brothers and sisters in the TO area are doing fine and that the next storm is mild compared to yesterdays

Thanks Ally. My troubles are minor compared to some other people in the neighbourhood. A few people had almost two to three feet of water in their basements including sewage water .
I Spent my morning talking to my Insurance company to get an adjustor out here. Oh joy. Other than the property damage to theCity and the residents, we are lucky there were no casualties.

First the Calgary floods, then the fatal disaster in Lac-Mégantic. I wish all those affected in these tragedies Godspeed. Their situations were quite horrible compared to what happened to us in Toronto yesterday (Monday) afternoon.
Toronto go hit with an epic rainstorm.125 mm (5") fell in just over an hour . Flooding everywhere. 1400 people had to be rescued from the GO Train (the regianl train service). The highest one day rainfall ever recorded in our City. Backyard was flooded and spent all night mopping and squeegin the basement.. No power so I couldnt shop vac until power was restored this morning.
More rain storms coming later today. Yippee

Ford is such an easy target, though...mind ya I reckon you can paint a pretty big bullseye on the fat fucker's chest
I think the Rob Ford vs the media war all started with the This Hour Has 22 Minutes incident a couple years back (when they more or less trespassed onto his property then filmed & broadcasted his totally justifiable freakout). I think that incident proved to the media that Rob Ford can't take a joke but has a pretty thin skin on top of it. Once a politician shows weakness in front of the media, they're like pihranas
(and I say that as a former freelance journalist. The parasitic nature of the trade is a big part of the reason I walked away and took up painting houses for a living...)Personally as far as this "Rob Ford smokes crack" controversy goes, I think I'll reserve judgment until they actually show the goddamn video. They want six figures for the video apparently...yer tryin' to tell me that the fucking CBC or the Toronto Star can't pony up the dough for such a hot piece of footage?
The Ford crack video story keeps getting wierder and better everyday.. Six of the Mayors staff resigned (rats are fleeing ship), one of the people in the video was murdered a few weeks ago (dont know many) details) and story keeps continuing. Rob's brother holds a press conference on behalf of his brother. And Rob he keeps pretending the whole thing does not exist, so why did all his staff leave.
The whole family is a bunch of Douches

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford in 'crack cocaine' video scandal.
What a douche

Porcupine Tree. Been on a Prog Rock kick lately

For some reason I can't stop listening to 1975 Baton Rouge and June 21 1977 LA show. Over and over. My wife is getting pissed.
-
The Ford brothers are total NOBS. They have made a mockery of the Council and bullied opponents with constant intimidations and threats. DICKS of the highest order.

Watched Jack White and his two bands Live yesterday afternoon on Itunes Festival. Very good performance.
Gained a great appreciation of his talents when I was at the Premiere screening of Under the Northern Lights in Toronto Film Festival in 2009. He was quite funny also at the end during the question andanswer when he poked fun at Kanye.
Now if only I can get tickets to his show in T.O. at the Sony Centre

OK since this thread seems to be resurected, I have a question.
Been a Zeppelin fan for over thirty five years and seen TSRTS a thousand times but I still don't get the significance of the other characters in the Gangster scene,.
Specifically the Wolf getting shot and sand coming out, Nazi cards, the eyeless man, clear liquid blood from one of the character as he slides down the mirror, etc. Is it a metaphor or am I reading to much into it.
Can somebody give me their opinion.

That caption says to study sex. When is the exam Brooke.

So sad, that is too young. Spent many hours with friends in T.O. looking through his store.
The founder and owner of Steve's Music Store has passed away at 65. He had stores in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa
Myles Goodwyn of APRIL WINE paid tribute to him on AW's homepage http://www.aprilwine.ca/
The tribute is on the lower part of the homepage ...scroll down the page and you will see it....

WOW she looks hot. Oh my the 1970's Pubescent wet dreams I had with Barbara Eden, Angie Dickinson, Cheryl Ladd and Lynda Carter.

I live in the Ford's ward. The Ford's have learned many a thing from their favourite NeoCons that skewing actual true facts and statistics, etc should never stand in the way of making public policy.
My rant.
Ok. I'm pissed off. Toronto's Mayor Ford is considering closing libraries (among other things) as part of an effort to trim budget costs. It would be one thing had he presented this with some evidence that they're 'little used'. Trouble is, the one he used as an example in his own ward, Northern Elm, has actually increased in checkouts by 15% compared to last year.
TORONTO STAR: Constituents to Ford - Lose our library and lose our votes
Northern Elms is one of the libraries singled out because it has the sixth lowest borrowing rate. But stats alone of course don't accurately present its value to the community. It's a small library so the numbers are proportionate to its size, but it is vital to the community's immigrants, parents and children, and the elderly. You know, PEOPLE who make a place a COMMUNITY by participating in programs that help others, and keep citizens engaged and intelligent.
G & M: Library cuts will happen "in a heartbeat," Ford says wherein Ford further endears himself by insulting national literary treasure Margaret Atwood.
Clearly doing his due diligence before speaking, Ford claimed that there are more libraries than Tim Hortons in his ward. The horror.
FACT CHECK: Tim Hortons franchises outnumber public libraries in Etobicoke (where Doug Ford lives) by a margin of three to one. There are 13 public libraries in Etobicoke, and 39 Tim Hortons franchises.
So, to sum up bike lanes (rant for another day) and books: bad. Timbits: good.
Here he is paying attention during today's depositions.
Timbit crash.
This guy needs a Timbit like a drowning man needs a glass of water. Keep your greasy hands off our libraries, Fatty.

I was in Barcelona, on vacation, and while at the Joan Miro Museum I saw this album as part of an overall Art exhibit about different types of media prior to Internet. Sorry, that it is blurry, my wife took the photo.
It looks as if it is Russian. They artist also had Led Zeppelin II, with probably another 250 albums, some obscure and some popular, spelling a word.
This album looks familiar. Does anybody here know when or where it came from
Thanks.

Anything by that little skank Keisha makes me laff coz it is just so retarded.
WTF.

Big Sugar. Great Little Canadian Band. Not really new but they are always playing shows all over the place here in Canada and they are great live. The guitarist / vocalist even plays the Gibson double neck that Jimmy made legendary.
This is a good song. But you should see there other songs/vidoes for yourself
-
Saw Dio in August 1982, at CNE Grandstand in Toronto when he was with Black Sabbath. I think it was the second leg of the Mob Rules Tour. What a great concert.
Then I saw him solo at the same venue in 1985. Another great concert. Both times his vocal range was unbelievable.
He is definitely missed.
-
I think I saw some videos here already. But I love The Mars Volta. A lillte King Crimson, Rush, Pink Floyd, etc. thrown in a blender and you get great new music.

Video I took during Thank You at Jason's Concert in Toronto at Sony Centre. It got a little emotional in the theatre after song had ended.
-
Video my wife took of Jason saying a speech during meet and greet at the Sony Centre in Toronto. Quite Nice.
-
Video I took during the encore at Jason's Concert in Toronto at Sony Centre. . Its the middle part only of Whole Lotta Love.
-
Great pics! "The 4 Runes", did you have to pay extra for the meet and greet?
Yes I did. VIP tickets for me and my wife. They even had a table with some sandwiches, sweets and refreshements.
I just wish they had given us a little more time to talk but overall a good experience. This will be the closest I will probably ever get to any member of Zeppelin.
What's the Next Concert You're Attending?

Going to see Arcade Fire March 13 at ACC. A week later going to see Dream Theatre kick off their tour at Massey Hall
