HOUSE: Render unto Nero the drinks that are Nero’s
These days, Nero are fronting a swell of popularity for back-track beats and remix thumpin’ that gets the dance floor jumpin’. The UK DJ’ing duo are headlining the Starlite Room’s Bassic Examination End of Exams Party Monday night. The concept of thumping subwoofers seems like just the right amount of fun – although DJ/producer Joe […]
The DAILY FUNNY: More-or-less contemplative birds
All right, it’s been 48 hours since 4-20 and we no longer have to officially pretend we like our dirty hippie doobie smoking friend’s lousy habits. With that in mind, check out these honest anti-marijuana PSAs that even your most hoolied of amigos can understand. Meanwhile, if you’ve been fretting over the fact that you’re […]
FISHEYE: To baldly go…
A majestic-yet-timid bald eagle soars higher and higher as it watches over a red fox it had just dropped to its death on a frozen riverbed. Its mate was also lingering, both between Toad and Wood creeks in B.C., so we left them to their handsome business. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature […]
MUSIC: Miss Uncensored not your average country sweetheart
Question of the day: What makes country “alt”? Answer: If the musicians on stage are wearing cowboy hats ironically, then the music they are playing is probably alt-country. Thing is, one usually can’t tell irony from a distance. Or even by the sound of the music, sometimes. That wasn’t much help after all, was it? […]
COMEDY: Garfunkel and Oates’ “Weed Card” for 4-20
Today’s a special day for a whole bunch of special lil’ folk. Like pixies and leprechauns, these wee folk take to the hills and the woods and the forests, shying away from the light of day, their existence shrouded in myth and ceremony. Yes, we’re talking about hippies. And the date today is 4/20, which […]
FISHEYE: Spanks for the memories
The various nursery rhyme tile mosaics on the walls of the Royal Alexandra Hospital make up some of the coolest public art in the city. Where else, for instance, can you see a promiscuous, shoe-dwelling crone spanking her child’s bare ass on the side of a children’s ward? Our regular photo of the day (potd) […]

Worried about the oil sands, our economic future, and the environment? The Onion offers this reasoned debate between two seasoned veterans who’ve assessed the future of carbon.

THEATRE: Chris Craddock is King of All Media
Great – another one-man play at the Fringe. Wait, this isn’t the Fringe. There’s snow on the ground. For a one-hander to go against theatrical behemoths like The Three Musketeers (Citadel) or the new spelling bee comedy at the Mayfield in the regular season of subscription fun in Edmonton, it must be very special indeed. […]
FISHEYE: Brighter days ahead
I know, I know – you still hate winter, we still love icicles … but these guys won’t be along much longer, promise. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city.
Avert your eyes! F-bombs in story below!
WHAT THE FUCK? Since when is it acceptable to talk about a MOM I’D LIKE TO FUCK? Like seriously, I’M LAUGHING MY FUCKING ASS OFF! Oh, don’t be so shocked. We see this sort of thing in the mainstream media all the time. You probably know the above better as WTF, MILF and LMFAO. Don’t […]
