No real surprises on the Johnny Blue Skies album except that "Stay On That" really reminds me of modern day Hanson. This is a compliment.

Wait, so the President of the United States watches Drag Race?

The last time I was there we had to remind them to start the movie. Sad to see her go.

I got comps for a show last night and I could spend time praising in public forums but the thing is, if I hadn't had the comps, the cost for a single ticket would have had three digits and I don't feel great telling people to shell that kind of money out for a show that could be called Good

Canada, we need to talk about our gun problem, and our mental health services problem, and….

I co-produce a comedy tournament called Sketch to the Death at Comedy Bar Danforth - every Wednesday until Feb 25! Winner receives $1000CAD which is the largest payout in local sketch comedy history probably

OPINION | Canadian TV needs to get weird again | CBC Arts In the ‘80s and ‘90s, English Canadian screens were filled with bizarre, fever dream-like shows. Writer Niko Stratis argues that we need to back to that

For CBC Arts, I wrote about why I think Canada needs to revel in the beauty of its weirdest impulses www.cbc.ca/arts/canadia...

The guys behind Toronto’s next sketch comedy boom With their monthly Spotlight at the Second City sketch series, Gabe Meacher and Taylor Hreljac get serious about making people laugh

One of the most exciting monthly comedy shows spotlights two up-and-coming sketch troupes and is performed at the Second City.

On Tues all HBO content on Crave stopped working for us when using an HDMI cable from our laptop to TV. I contacted customer service and they said they would call us back w/ next steps. They called today to say this should now be “expected” when using an external device to watch HBO on Crave.

This video is relevant to mine and @jhackett.bsky.social ‘s interests and I need to see it as soon as possible.

Today is the 12th day of Christmas so don’t do anything you don’t want to do.

Punkinhead by Wilf Carter looms large in our Christmas

Gale’s Snack Bar got a brand new sign and I feel conflicted.

Put your money in this pocket!

One of the funniest troupes on the scene in North America now have a podcast!

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

I probably need to go back to grade school, but surely Her Honour has the duty to participate in stopping bills that will cause people to lose their homes?

We had someone enter our apartment when we were not home years ago, (they took a garbage bag, and a can of beer from the fridge?!) and in response my mom got us one of those cameras for Christmas. I couldn’t have imagined a creepier thing so we used the gift receipt to exchange it for a table 🤷‍♀️

I am deeply disturbed and worried about the Ontario that Doug Ford is creating, but am disassociating by being actively upset that there was not a Blue Jays float in the Santa Claus Parade even though Rogers had the broadcast rights this year. Have you no joy?! #Canada150

My favourite thing about Toronto’s 500 million dollar streetcars is that they only have three call buttons each and they are always 13 feet away from where you are sitting or standing.

Give! Us! Pull cords!

First stop tonight… November Spotlight Featuring Red Hot Sili Peppers and Summer Fadat Second City #Toronto

New Feeling is 5 Five years ago, we launched New Feeling with a simple but important idea: music criticism can be worker-led, community-funded, and accountable to the people who make and love music. We started small, ...

At the beginning of the pandemic, the ad $ most publications rely on dried up, and editors started killing assignments. Publications closed. @newfeelingcoop.bsky.social is 5 because a group of music writers across "Canada" figured we shouldn't keep living like that www.newfeeling.ca/new-feeling-...
