Van Ness Sifting Enclosed Cat Panâ„¢ (CP66)
Since taking over the duties of cleaning the cat leavings in our apartment (damn you toxoplasmosis!), I have developed a love/hate relationship with this device. On one hand, it makes complete sense and leaves to scoop out of the equation. There are two “bottoms” that fit nicely together with [...]

Random Gossip

Kanye West used his Centurion American Express card to purchase $186 worth of magazines at the Blowers Street Paperchase.

Price is Right

As much as people bitch about the price of gas, do you realize people are paying $1.79 for 2 oz of guacamole?

Squish-alicious

I always dug the Windom immensely when she played it on the show, and I finally have in my hot buttered hands the new record, called Gold Wave.

Squeezed

Forgot to mention it, but Shane and Tom’s Squeezebox actually played a couple Windom Earle covers at the end of their show last week on the accordion.
Plus Windom Earle was featured in a Halifax Band Family Tree that was in the Dalhousie Gazette. It will let you know when it is online/scanned.

Waiting to be Disc-overed

Eye Weekly’s Disc-overy of the Week:
WINDOM EARLE
Gold Wave (Boost Ventilator) * * * * The thing about being from the east coast is that you can be pretty sure the rest of the country will ignore you until forced not to. Mostly unknown due to the gaping cultural void between Fredericton and Quebec City, Windom [...]

Teenage Sleeping Patterns

Waking teens from their deep REM sleep before 7 a.m. — which during late fall and winter is well before the rooster crows — is much like approaching a lion gnawing on an antelope carcass.

What Bob Odenkirk Has Been Up To

Let’s Go To Prison
Yeah, pretty shitty trailer, but as long as his sense of humour is actually intact in the film (like The Pitty Card…unlike Run Ronny Run) maybe it will be worth seeing.
Speaking of movies, anyone see a trailer for Mike Judge’s Idiocracy? There’s an interesting interview/profile in Esquire.

Sea Bee See Radio Three

Windom Earle made the CBC Radio 3 podcast…thanks to Steve for pointing it out. I usually let the episodes pile up and plough through them when I get a chance. I was starting to think Joel Plaskett would have to retire before another Haligonian got a spin, but they managed to play both in the [...]

Later That Stevening…

I get thrown-up against a wall in this movie. The soundtrack also contains some Windom Earle.
There are also some myspace profiles you might want to check out.

Paper Thin Walls

My parents should be prepared to sue the internet. Because if I read another record review, I’m going to shoot myself in the face.
