BLOG YOURSELF TO DEATH

This morning I woke up to a new CNN report that bloggers are dropping dead from overwork and stress. Puhleeze. Besides ass piles, sore fingers and the occasional funny bone sprain...people will find anything to whine about. Newsflash. Work is hard. Journalism is hard. Entertaining people is hard. Boo fuckin' hoo.

But not today. There's oh, soooo much to talk about. Like...
The Juno awards! Oh yeah, they got awards up in Canada too, eh? Alls ya gotta do is sell about 300 copies, fill out a form and send in a fee and you too can be Juno nominated! Surprise, surprise Feist took Single of the Year, Album of the Year, Pop Album of the Year, Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the year. All well deserved, it's just too bad it takes a move to France and an Mac commercial for people here to "get it". And "get it" they have! Seems every single ad campaign now has a "Feistalike" singin' the jingle. Ohh dear.

Avril Lavigne performed her tired single "Girlfriend" and indeed, looked about as bored as everyone in the audience. I wish I had a pic of how bored that audience looked. If I didn't know any better, I'd have sworn they were cardboard cutouts. Or zombies.

Another fingerwag at the Juno committee. What's UP with the big nasty pile of oil drums on the stage for set design? Yes, oil comes from Western Canada. We know that. Too bad most of what's being pulled out of the oil sands are going...south. And too bad the Oil Sands project is tantamount to one of the greatest man made ecological disasters...ever.

Good show, Calgary! It almost made me miss the good old days of


almost.

Muuuusic...muuuusiiick.
Congrats go out to Deadmau5, who picked up a Juno for best Dance recording.
