George Stroumboulopoulos 🐺

Undersung hero. When classical music met the club floor with cello, electronics and that ghostly, fragile voice. Arthur Russell’s music was from another timeline. Another devastating loss from AIDS. He would have turned 75 today.

More than reasonable. #GHG

This is the song for today. “Everybody Loves the Sunshine” Roy Ayers.

MONTRÉAL, ÊTES-VOUS LÀ? MONTREAL, ARE YOU READY? #GoHabsGo

@EdInTheBush Yes! Here’s the link with that animation m.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ1YwA…

Those ‘Best Story Ever’ stories were epic - and the introduction/animation! The ones that sticks out for me were the craziest. One was about the gold medalist who broke out of the cop car and the other was about some dude who used to put on a snorkel in the men’s bathroom. A wonderful collection of the craziest stuff you will ever hear.

We used to do a thing on the red chair show called Best Story Ever and Robert Pattinson served up this one. Happy 40th Robert !

Classy move by the Toronto Tempo ahead of tonight’s WNBA game. A moment of silence here for Jason Collins, the first openly gay NBA player, and Canadian NBA player Brandon Clarke. Gone far too soon.

He changed the job description of what a comedian could be. He was a cultural diagnostician disguised as a stand-up comic. This a George Carlin appreciation post on what would have been his 89th birthday. Happy Birthday to the OG Carlin.

Situated in the eastern part of the Nile delta, lies the city of Zagazig, Egypt. And there you can find this trio of teens making punk rock (and maybe the only band in that town). Loving Vemto’s rooftop performances.

Only in Montreal do they make a Stanley Cup replica out of city construction cones 😂🔥

Baldwin becomes more incisive with time. Novelist. Short story writer. Playwright. Essayist. Unrecognized American Philosopher.

Le calme avant la tempête The calm before the storm #GoHabsGo

Love this band. Flashback to 2010 performance of the haunting beauty of “Islands” from the xx. #flashbackfriday

13 years ago, the Rana Plaza tragedy in Bangladesh killed more than 1,100 people - mostly women - and injured 2,500 others. Many of the cause of the disaster continues to affect garment workers today. The Rana plaza tragedy must not happen again. Companies and suppliers must be held accountable for human rights abuses. Workers must have the right to freedom of association. Workers’ rights are human rights.

‘Some Might Say’, the band’s first UK chart topping single, was released #OnThisDay in 1995!

50 YEARS OF ‘RAMONES’ Released 50 years ago today, the ‘Ramones’ debut album defined a new genre and remains a staple in Rock ‘n’ Roll history. Throw it on today and turn it up loud in celebration. ramones.lnk.to/R40DE

@strombo My ears are still ringing from seeing in 94 at The Phoenix.
