The theory that new Alberta finance minister Ted Morton was put in place to placate the fiscal and hawks and play the cold-eyed budget-slasher—a zombie Steve West—was always dubious. I’m not saying Morton wouldn’t suit the role, and he may still be called upon to wield the scalpel. But the Stelmach government has one obsessive, [...]

Gordon has been playing out again : IT'S not often you go to bed in Paris and wake up in Amsterdam. It's not often you read an opening line like that. Unless it's been written on lined paper and is accompanied by crayoned picture of the Eiffel Tower. Last year I went to Salt Lake City with COLDPLAY and ended up on their private jet as they kidnapped me for the week. And on Monday I was in the same...

Back to the rainbow, and the last of the primary colours. While I found myself with a redundancy of reds and enough blues to paint two p osts , songwriters seem less enamoured with the colour yellow. We'll deal with why that may be further down this list, but for now can I just point out: YOU WILL NOT FIND YELLOW FUCKING SUBMARINE ON THIS LIST! I really shouldn't need to explain why. Oh, and there...

You gotta love the Internet. Keeping musicheads connected one tweet at a time :) I was doing a little searching tonight and came across a blurb that said The Roots had put together a bunch of covers of J Dilla beats.

I've heard a couple of different discussion points about the Super Bowl. And they're both clearly hardening as conventional wisdom. And they're both wrong. "Peyton Manning only played three-quarters of the game, because the Saints did such a great job keeping the Colts offense off the field..." Time of possession: New Orleans 30:11, Indianapolis 29:49.
