City

What volumes are in a simple scrap of paper discovered on Brunswick Street. Is the person who wrote these simple translations a suspected terrorist? An immigrant trying to watch Law & Order reruns? A maid getting a second chance? Only our novelists will know for sure.

I was well on my way to declaring Justin TImberlake’s “SexyBack” as brilliant until I saw the plot-a-confusing video. Watch closely…he rips off her pearls, yadda, yadda, more hotness, yadda. Wait. She reaches for the nightstand drawer. He stops her. What do people keep beside the bed?? Condoms!! Yes, they’re spies or whatever, and sure […]

How sad to see former phys ed teacher and current premier Rodney MacDonald ending his marriage. After campaigning like a Republican on the value society must put on the family unit, he must feel like a big lying hypocritical failure. Unless he’s happy to be proving the adage “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, […]

Last Thursday’s “Reality Bites” criticized Halifax for fawning over 8-year-old Arjun Thaker. Then Friday’s Herald said Arjun is dying. What the? According to all the coverage of Thaker’s trip to the east coast—and there’s been a lot, lead by the Chronicle-Herald but picked up by such organs as the National Post—he’s a regular boy from […]

BUT Bars can get awfully overcrowded — I love Wintersleep but I dread their shows, especially when it’s university […]

Kabbalhuh?

I am well aware that this is old news, but having just returned from a week’s sojourn in Toronto, I still want to talk about it. Kayne West is opening for the Rolling Stones when they come to ruin the Halifax Common. It’s $100. Or for a student, $79. Which is much more reasonable. But […]

Brotherhood is fucking great. I fell in love with Providence a couple years ago, but frankly the series makes me scared to go back. And I do have to cover my eyes at least twice an episode — with the hammer and the teeth and the chipping? And the neverending ear thing?!? — which I […]

Those cats over with the HRM sure are sensitive about how they’re protrayed in the media. Last week, a release from Deputy mayor Russell Walker, and then another from communication manager John O’Brien were sent out in immediate succession, explaining to local media how the city wasn’t being fairly treated by the local media. I […]
