Hello/Bonjour

Hi world, I'm back from Nova Scotia, and it was wonderful. During my time in Eastern Atlantic Canada, I encountered some very interesting local music. In the EAC there was a much greater presence of Folk Music in their mainstream radio than in the states.

Their music is a combination of Scottish, Irish, French, and North American country-like elements. Here are some new goodies I encountered.

Molly Thomason:
I heard this girl on the radio, and yes girl.
Listen to this: http://mollythomason.ca/Molly_Thomason/Home/Home.html

SERIOUSLY LISTEN. She is only 14, but she will shock you with her mature voice. Very talented youngster from Antingonish, Nova Scotia.

Also, while on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, I really took to the radio station 106.1 Cheticamp. It is an Acadian station that features traditional Nova Scotia music in English, French, and Local Acadian. So Fun!!

Stream it live...http://www.ckjm.ca/english/home/index.cfm

And this gem of music form Stompin' Tom Connors.
And yes this is the real deal from Prince Edward Island.

I'm Lester the Lobster from PEI
An ugly little bug with beady little eyes
I can tackle anything up to twice my size
I'm Lester the Lobster from PEI

Now some people hold to the silly little notion
That every single lobster in the big wide ocean
Is as green as can be until they're boiled
But I'm as red as Prince Edward Island soil

Well I'd like to send a message to the people of the world
If anyone should come across a little lobster girl
Who's as red as Prince Edward Island, sittin' in the sea
Just crate her up and ship her here, and send her C.O.D2

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it...

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement ...

Spotlight/Shoutout: OG Mudbone (One Year of S/S)

!!!ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! Can you believe it's been a year already since Spotlight/Shoutout started off on the third Thursday of August? The first ever s/s went to Kyle MacLachlan, and then the spotlight was stolen by OG Mudbone...........the funniest man on earth according to some Youtube videos. For those of you who do not know, OG is an FOC "Freak of Co*k" adult film actor. And yes, I censored the C word, just in case the word cock offends anyone. OG Mudbone takes the 1 year prize because he's enormous (and he shoots and scores), and it doesn't matter if his adult entertainment masterworks are real or fake. His foul mouth is more exciting than many. Seriously, get some google images. height="385"> In other news, Spotlight/Shoutout has had some great ups this year. I hope there are many more to come, and indeed there will be. QATFYG: If anyone has seen his films, can you still drink soymilk? I can't! Happy 1 year!! s/s
