So I have the week off so some friends and I were looking to take a vacation. We found some cheap flights and hotels in Ft. Lauderdale so that seems to be the number one option at the moment. The concern right now is if the nightlife (bars, clubs, etc.) is any good in the city or any of the surrounding areas. Do a lot of younger people travel there? If not, we may just head to Brooklyn where we can crash with my aunt and party in NYC, sans the beaches.

What on bloody earth do you mean by their own "level"? Their own level of popularity? If so, you're a bigger idiot than I thought. You only real worry is that K-OS isn't good enough to work with them, which is fine, however many people think that K-OS is one of the most inventive and varied mc Canada or the world as seen, and would mash up great with BSS. It worked well when he collaberated with Sam Roberts. I actually can't think of a Hip-hopper I enjoy more than K-os.

Collaberating with groups like The Dears and k-os is what makes BSS great. Recording with the likes of Emily Haines (Metric) and Feist wouldn't exactly be pandering would it? So why would it if they're playing with k-os? Because he has a bit of mainstream appeal in Canada? Heaven forbid. It can't be that their fan of his work as a producer/mc would it? It'd be best to reserve judgement about the collaberation until you've heard it. Same deal with The Dears. Or did you hear them on the radio a couple of times and come to the conclusion that bss are trying to ride their coattails? (even though bss get more airplay). I doubt that MuchMusic has even played their videos more than a handful of times. I certainly haven't seen them. Step back from your elitist attitude for a second maybe you'd understand that bands work with others for reasons other than a sense of 'pandering to their community', but rather the fact that they respect the artists enough to work with them and record something worthwhile. I also love how you imply that DFA1979 are no longer a favorite of yours simply because they did a remix with k-os. Or that opening for the Foo Fighters are suddently destroying their oh so valuable indie cred.

Well said, Mike.

Goo Goo Dolls "Iris" from City of Angels

October 4th, self titled. Collaborating with K-os, the Weakerthans Jason Tate and the Dears Murray Lightburn. from: charattack.ca The tracklisting for that EP: 1. her disappearing theme 2. canada vs. america 3. baroque social 4. no smiling darkness / snake charmers association 5. all my friends 6. major label debut (fast) 7. feel good lost reprise 7/4 (Shorline) Fuck, this song is awesome. If the rest of the album is as good as this song, then it's a shoe in for album of the year. I can't wait to hear the tracks featuring K-OS and Murray from The Dears.

I hate this company.

Both albums are fantastic.

If any of you are going to the Download Festival, I hate you. And be sure to bootleg it and upload it here.

I guess nothing in this article is especially new, but it's a good summary of the political climate in Haiti right now and the way that Canada and the U.N. are responsible for (or at least ignoring) much of the violence:

I saw them live a couple of months ago. Pretty disappointing performance.

What is the age of consent in Kansas? Most US States? Edit: Google tells me it's 16. But yeah, based on the technicality of the situation, it seems silly to jail him.

"Homer: Bad Man" is one of my top 5 favorite episodes, maybe even number one.

It's an ECW's Greatest Matches 2 disc set apparently.

The signs that the show was declining didn't hit till around Season 8-9. Season 6 was producing some of the best episodes of the series. In no way should this season be labelled as 'bad simpsons'. They should have reserved the stupid head box sets starting with Season 9 or 10.

Good band* *not really

Apparently the movie has been leaked and the torrent is available at demonoid.com. Gonna take about 400 hours for it to download though. Anyone find it anywhere else?

If your "sick", your "sick". There shouldn't be silly three month rules about that sort of thing.

Gwa?

Jesus, I can't believe they actually produced that video. I didn't even know they aired a segment with Hassan telling Davari that he would be a sacrifice. I can't imagine how they were planning to continue the angle or how Hassan would explain himself.
