The inevitable has happened:

Somebody gone and made a t-shirt. I expect more to pop up from the likes of Busted Tees any minute now - if I see more, I'll keep you updated. Cause this tee is pretty good and all, but I think it could get better. What would you want …

Man oh man - if you haven't heard this already you're in for a trip. Someone has set the original Christian Bale Terminator: Salvation freakout to techno and completely remixed it. IT IS AMAZING. I can't stop listening to it. I want it on my iPod NOW.
NOTE: This is …

It's a good day to be Nickelback. Not only will they be performing at the Junos, but it was just announced that they lead all other honourees with five nominations. It's the big'uns too - Album of the Year, Single of the Year, Group of the Year... and how …

I'm not sure how true this is, but I just had to scrape my jaw up off ma desk, so I think it's worth mentioning. ANYHOODS, as you may know, Hilary Duff has been cast as Bonnie in the new Bonnie and Clyde flick, a role originally portrayed by Faye Dunaway. When Duns …

We know the winter hasn't been kind lately, with dropping temperatures and snow piling up outside. But if there's one lady who can warm anyone up, it's Canadian Sarah Rosete. The dancer-slash-singer stopped by MuchMusic to talk …

Here's a recipe for disaster - take a Nova Scotia rock band rooted in loud guitars and drinking songs and have them perform in a seated theatre with only acoustic instruments.
Fortunately, things went surprisingly well for The Trews, who …

Taylor Swift is a sweetie. She came out with an "aw, shucks" attitude to an ear-splitting audience and signed autographs each break. After her interview, she went around the room and took pictures with fans - usually celebs will pose, but not many will actually take …

If you've been to any …
There is something so inherently comical about Katie Couric interviewing Lil' Wayne. I don't know if it's Katie's serious reaction shots, Wayne's Homer Glasses, all of it, or just this interaction:
Katie: If you had to ask President Bush a question about [Hurricane …

The Clips (NOT to be confused with the Virginia-based hip hop duo Clipse) are a Vancouver fivesome that I accidentally happened upon at last year's Pop Montreal several slots before Woodhands was set to perform in the seedy basement of a Portuguese community centre. …
