The Torontoist’s fantastic list of Cover Songs

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

I’ve gotten a lot of recommendations this morning to check out an excellent article and list of Cover Songs from the Torontoist. I like how they’ve grouped them into sections (like “Better Than the Original” and “Updating the 80’s”). There are even some links to great YouTube videos.

What I think I’m liking the most, however, are the comments. Some great ideas there for future shows, and of course, excellent suggestions for nominations into the upcoming 2006 Cover Song Countdown.

(Thanks to Dale, Prescott, Jordan, Dan, Jonathan, Andrew, Paulie Coconuts, Winston Wolf, and Henry for sending me a link to the article. You folks are really on the ball.)

Happy Black Friday!

Friday, November 24th, 2006

I’m not one to use a post to post an advertisement, but in this case, since a lot of folks have told me they’re buying iPods this Christmas, I thought I’d post a link to Apple’s amazing deals for today. I’m picking up a new laptop bag, myself, as well as a few gifts for other friends and family (who happen to read this blog, so I can’t be too specific.)

Use the link below, and happy shopping!
