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 […]
The DAILY FUNNY: Green onions and reusable energy
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. Timing might have been a little off, though….. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead fame reshoot Star Wars. Well, one particular […]
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.

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 […]
EDMONTON RADIO: Yerxa’s big idea
Edmonton does not need three top-40 radio stations. One of them has to die. But I hope it isn’t Hot 107, despite an unfortunate allergic reaction I had to “the new and even more annoying Bounce” after it launched last fall. Got sick on the floor – which I later learned from J-Lo is a […]
COUNTRY MUSIC: Tommy Hunter’s last yeehaw
Canada’s Country Gentleman is hanging up his spurs after nearly 55 years in the business. Tommy Hunter doesn’t sound particularly torn up about it, though. Relaxing at his Florida home before the final tour that will take him across Canada this month – playing at the Jubilee Auditorium tomorrow (Sunday, April 17, buy here) at […]
