the question of which hockey player is the single best in the history of a franchise more than a century old will not be resolved by me. all i can offer is a humble statistical analysis to present my case for Auston Matthews. as of writing, there are 982 people who have played at leastContinue reading “is Auston Matthews the greatest Maple Leaf of all-time?”

happy new year’s eve. we’ve finally reached the end of the dreadful year known as 2021. 2022 will not be any better, but whatever. all years, to date, have been bad. to exist is to suffer. anyway, what if i talked about music for a little bit on here? would that be allowed? here areContinue reading “my top 50 albums of 2021.”
top 10 songs by “the beatles.”
the beatles. you know ’em. you’ve heard about ’em. incessantly. for fifty years. i’m sure your mind’s already well entrenched in whichever side of this ongoing cultural debate about “whether the beatles were good” you land on, so i’m not going to change your opinion about them either way. i just felt like sharing myContinue reading “top 10 songs by “the beatles.””
one must imagine a Leafs fan happy.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are owned by the two largest telecom companies in Canada. They’re the richest team in the sport of hockey. News about the team and its players dominates the airwaves. While all fandoms of professional sports teams have obnoxious and unsavoury elements, “Leafs Nation” can be uniquely annoying to opposing fanbases simplyContinue reading “one must imagine a Leafs fan happy.”
The Mags 10
Ten essential albums that define my musical taste I could not be so pompous as to refer to the following ten albums as “the best.” Music is inherently subjective, and I am one human out of seven-plus billion currently living on this wretched orb. My opinions on the subject are no more or less valuableContinue reading “The Mags 10”
The Polaris Project – June 25-27, 2021
Took another few days off because the thought of having to come up with more words to describe a bunch of albums I listened to one time in the middle of a workday felt daunting. Sometimes I just run out of words! But then I remember that I can just put whatever in here, secureContinue reading “The Polaris Project – June 25-27, 2021”
The Polaris Project – June 22, 2021
Easy Morning by Elliot Maginot More like Elliot Maginot Line, because this album was a tactical disaster!! Just kidding. Going to break out the ol’ stand-by of “it was fine.” The religious nature of the lyrics didn’t really resonate with me as a godless heathen atheist & the orchestral pop melodies never strayed from well-troddenContinue reading “The Polaris Project – June 22, 2021”
The Polaris Project – June 21, 2021
Took a few days off, but now I’m back to speak in cliché about some albums I listened to. Let’s go! Sundry Rock Song Stock by Yves Jarvis Some very chill soft rock vibes to be found here, alongside experimental electronic bubbles and blips that surprise without being disorienting. Unfortunately, it was so chill thatContinue reading “The Polaris Project – June 21, 2021”
The Polaris Project – June 18, 2021
Three Little Words by Dominique Fils-Aimé Lyrically straightforward songs about love, heartbreak, and personal growth, delivered with smooth, soulful vocals. Not much going on beyond the surface level, so it didn’t hold my interest. It was reasonably pleasant, if slightly boring, to listen to. (How many more times am I going to say some variationContinue reading “The Polaris Project – June 18, 2021”
The Polaris Project – June 17, 2021
Memoryland by CFCF I don’t know how to review electronic music from a technical standpoint. All I know how to say is “these beeps, bloops, and vocal samples really hit!!” or “these beeps, bloops, and vocal samples aren’t doing anything for me.” Anyway, this album? Closer to the latter than the former, but that’s fine.Continue reading “The Polaris Project – June 17, 2021”
