Gord Downie is a man who made the mundane beautiful and never turned his back on his country. This news is just crushing my soul.

You just reminded me I have 4!

Check out In Violet Light, the album that came out after Music @ Work. I would especially recommend the song "Leave". It's a gorgeous song.

Trouble at the Henhouse and Day for Night are my personal favourite albums of theirs.

I've been absent from these comments because my heart is fucking broken. The Hip have been such a huge part of my life. This is such a bummer.

And Nautical Disaster, a song without a chorus!

It kind of is. In this day with sophisticated digital printing, surely a high resolution JPG would suffice.

Those tickets are definitely pricey. $100 to see The National, Hayden, and that guy from the Arkells. Not entirely worth it, unless they will give me a receipt so I can claim it as a charitable donation for 2016.

Goddamnit

Nah TIFF is more pretentious than polite.

Yeah, well, what will the Toronto line up look like? Riot Fest Toronto is always diluted in comparison. My husband and I must find a way to Chicago this year, especially if Morrissey AND Ween are there.

There is definitely an attraction, though I think Tormund is the hottest guy on the show right now so there's that.

But why would The Hound ever join the Sparrows? That would be so disappointing if he allowed himself to be brainwashed like that.

This seems like something Matt Damon would be better suited for. He always plays the exceptional.

Cool! A Canadian movie, directed by a woman, starring two women, and it's actually getting some press outside of Toronto. That almost never happens.

This looks fvcking ridiculous, and by ridiculous I mean it looks like total shit.

Tommy or GTFO

***SPOILER***

Who woulda thought Blake Lively could potentially carry an entire movie. I do like her though, and always thought she could play the perfect Blair in a Less Than Zero reboot.

When I was in grade 9, my boyfriend at the time (now my husband) had a black Dying Fetus hoodie that he got at one of their shows and I thought he was like, so cool.
