Random Bump – A Street Cat Named Bob

I happen to run into this title whilst browsing Youtube. It’s about a real life chance encounter by a orange tabby named Bob and a London street musician, who was a recovering heroin addict when the two met.

This 2012 U.K bestseller has just recently been released on paperback and as an iBook.

Random Bump – Go Long (!)

Ottawa folk jazz trio Go Long (!) has just released their first CD, entitled
Strings Untied“, and their first music video, “Hurricane”.

This CD, which is also available to download from CD Baby, also includes rather impressive covers of Alannah Myles’ “Black Velvet”, Tom Waits’ “Green Grass”
and T.I’s “Whatever You Like”, the latter being better that the original in my opinion.

The band is currently promoting their album with performances in Eastern Ontario.

I am so tempted to get this…

I used to watch the Kids in the Hall quite regularly on CBC in the late 80’s and early 90’s. It’s pretty much responsible for my dark humour, along with Black Adder, Father Ted and Monty Python. 😉

This 2006 version of the Kids In The Hall Megaset is on sale at Amazon.ca and Amazon.com. But a more recent 2011 megaset is also available at Amazon.com, which apparently includes the “Death Comes To Town” mini-series.

A Big Year For Heart


A Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame nomination and exhibit, a new auto-biography, a new boxed set, a new album and now a new star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame in front of The Musician’s Institute !

The presentation ceremony for the new star will be streamed online from the official Walk Of Fame web site at 11:30 am Pacific time on the 23rd of September, 2012.

If you happen to be in Los Angeles on that day it will be at 6752 Hollywood Boulevard, at the corner of North Highland Avenue near the Hollywood/Highland Subway Station.

The Musical Institute is located next to the Guinness World Records Museum and The Green Room. It almost faces Fredericks of Hollywood.

Congratulations Ann & Nancy !
