This is why I hate the Internet.
Why is it any time any anonymously written blog gains critical mass journalists (and I use that term loosely) feel the need to out the author (see: Fake Steve Jobs, Gerard vs Bear et al)? Does anyone actually gain anything from this? Or is a simple case of jealously of another writers success played out in public?
Either way, it’s the online equivalent of...

WatchVideo: Late Night with Jimmy Fallon vs The Lonely Island
Starts slow but get’s wonderfully obsurd towards the end. Best part is the gasface/head nods.

Starving. A little hungover from a few too many scotches at Shebeen last night.
I am A LOT hungover from Shebeen (the two bottles of wine, before hand, at Jules didn’t help). So much so, I’m barely functioning at the day job (what am I… 23 again?). I’ve been in 2+ hours of meetings and every comment that has come out of my mouth has made me look retarded. ...

So, depending on how you look at it, as of September 2009 this is the new Richard’s on Richards. Either way, the whole thing smells of UGH! Specifically:
the owner declaring Vancouver a “fishing village”… that is until Richards II opens, then Vancouver = cultural epicentre
a 6,000-square-foot unisex bathroom… because Aly McBeal is still relevant

True Hip-Hop Stories: Buckshot (of Black Moon)
In this edition of True Hip-Hop Stories, Buckshot (of Black Moon) discusses the writing of the Black Moon recording “How Many Emcees”…
Interesting stuff, if you’re a nostalgic old rap nerd like myself.

(1) it’s happen before, you got over it, (2) this is what businesses do to cover their asses, (3) it’s not like you or Zuckerberg were going to make millions off your status updates

WatchTom Jones - We Got Love
Good lord, Tom Jones is (still) hot sex on a platter… and he’s performing a Take Away Show? Awesome.
I’ve actually spent way too much time rooting around La Blogotheque watching Take Away Shows this weekend. There’s lots of mellow gold to be found… that Fleet Foxes clip is positively sublime (thanks, CamR). Also, I really like this...

…but if I were charged with [the Granville Island] drunk hit and run that killed some poor couple who just got engaged, I would make my Facebook profile private.
Even better (uhhhh, worse?) are the comments on the dude’s wall. Highlights include variations of stranger rage (related to jail, rape, karma, etc) all the way to dumb-ass apathetic friend sympathy (oh hey, it...
Tours you wish you saw?

Listening to Zooropa on the way home from work today and I once again lamented the fact that I was just a touch too young to see U2 on the Zoo TV tour. I would have loved to have seen that insanity…preferably on the earlier legs before the Zooropa stuff started making it into setlists.
I actually saw the Zoo TV tour… outdoors in England of all places. I really was too young to...

Hooray! Gang violence… spitting distance from my place.
Actually, as someone who goes to that IGA and gets completely frustrated by the crap parking, shit selection, long line ups, and useless staff, I completely understand the desire to go on a shooting spree while there.
