It was only a happy accident that found me in the audience at the Matchbox Twenty show at Caesars Windsor last night - an extra pair of tickets and a why the heck not? shrug of the shoulders. Sure, I'll admit to owning copies of Yourself or Someone Like You and Mad Season. I have car danced to "She's So Mean", and, okay, Rob Thomas is still ( Read more... )

Borrowed from mrsmaynard:

Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, answer these questions. You can't use the artist I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think! Repost as "my life according to (artist name)"

I don't know if anyone else pays attention to or cares about this kind of stuff, but the Grammy Nominees were announced the other day: 50th Annual Grammy Award Nominations List.

Scott and I went to see (along with his parents and some of his parents' friends) Classic Albums Live do up The Beatles' Abbey Road tonight. Not a Beatles tribute band, so much as a group of super talented adorable fanboys reproducing a classic rock album live ("Note for note. Cut for Cut." as they say) for an eager, nostalgic audience ( Read more... )

Maple Leaf storm buries Bruins
This one was on Leafs TV so I only caught the highlights. 10-2! Makes me feel really bad for the Bruins. And I'm glad Steen is finally getting some goals, even though that third one he put in was really weak.
Tucker, Wellwood won't play Saturday
I spoke too soon about Welly, I guess. *sad face*

My absolute favourite photograph of John Lennon was taken at Shea Stadium, August 15, 1965. John is leaving the concert (with the rest of The Beatles, of course), gazing up into the stands at the mass of fans gathered there, and waving, the light from the flash bulb washing over his handsome face and catching the wonder in his eyes at precisely ( Read more... )
