Menzingers – Nice Things
The video kind of blows, but the song is genius, and the album it comes from is 2012′s best, so far. These guys are now what Against Me stopped being,…
On the lesson of Alberta, and Grits
…polls, and pollsters, get things wrong. The Angus Reid Group was one of the pollsters who got things dramatically wrong in Alberta, for instance. That said, this puny online survey…
Byline, May 23: on s. 13 and human rights
Lilley and I duke it out on s. 13. I’m right.
Courtney’s cure
I don’t ever post these sorts of appeals, but if my brother Bernie Farber asks me to, I will. Here’s The Cure for Courtney.

Johnny Ramone’s autobiography: I don’t wanna read that book
I bought Johnny Ramone’s posthumous biography a few days ago, in Belleville, on the way up to the cabin. I liked the cover, above, and the design. I’m a sucker…
Prejudice and pride

For those who are after the Hot Nasties pressing
Hey, Simon from Ugly Pop here. It was an honour to release this– one of my very favourite Canadian records ever! Glad you were happy with it, Warren. We made…

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, the geniuses of capitalism at work, once again. I so love it.
Hot Nasties EP reissued!
After THIRTY-TWO YEARS – the Hot Nasties’ EP has been re-issued by Ugly Pop records! We recorded it in a garage in Calgary in 1980, overseen by a couple of…
This is a weird column
But you’ve got to admire his willingness to make a pile of predictions, willy-nilly, with nary a qualifier in sight. This is a columnist operating without a safety net, folks,…
In today’s Sun: Mulcair is a disgrace
It’s early days. But watching NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair destroy himself, as he is now inarguably doing with his anti-West tirades, makes for compelling theatre. In politics, no wound is…
In today’s Sun: Message this, Angry Tom
What a week newly minted NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair has had! Ever since he donned his tinfoil hat and started hollering at passersby, quite a few of us have started…
