Metro: Liquor hikes tomorrow →
The price of hard alcohol in British Columbia is being raised tomorrow by $2 per 1.75-litre bottle while 750-ml bottles are going up by $1 — a price hike that’s expected to boost government revenue by about $7 million.
blownspeakers: Fuck you too, government.
While in Calgary last weekend I picked up a 26 of espresso vodka and 6 COLD import beers for less than $40 including tax. Sadly, this...

Mountain Dew: An Extreme History →
“Terminate with extreme prejudice.” That’s how people used the word extreme in 1979. You say it when you’re talking about assassinating a dude in Vietnam. Six years later a rock band calling themselves Extreme formed and ever since then, the word extreme has been ever so gradually losing its impact. In 1999, every flavor of Doritos was extreme.

Metallica invades SXSW as `young band from Norway' →
“Here is the grass roots. Here is the basis of why we like music. Artists are getting up in front of 2,100 people and giving it what they got,” Hetfield said of SXSW. “We’ve always wanted to support live music. We’ve been road dogs since the day after high school.”
Hang on a sec… you can’t be all grass roots and givin’er for the fans in...

Idea for a micro-blog #649
A blog which posts the craziest, bat-shit, tin-foil hat, xenophobic, change-hating comments posted at the end of news stories on cbc.ca.
I realize there would be a lot of material. Maybe start with this guy’s ramblings. He really doesn’t like Vancouver. Safe bet that he lives somewhere in NFLD Quebec and has never visited BC.
WatchRE: Public Enemy featuring The Roots performing “Bring The Noise” on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
Is it me, or did Black Thought completely steal the show when he performed with PE?! He’s been completely under utilized as a part Fallon’s house band… dude’s been couped up, give him a verse on a classic track like this and it’s GO TIME.

Video Twins: Ice Cube and Weird Al →

Cube says breakfast, show him eating breakfast. Weird Al says fanny pack, show a close up of the fanny pack. My favorite: Ice Cube says, “Woke her up around 1,” while we see him waking up a sleeping woman with a clock in the foreground reading 1:00. This kind of...
