| Heath Ledger found dead
231 was using pages of a dictionary for toilet paper and then couldn't spell when posting. Coincidence? I think not. Some people use drugs to get high/party - it's called "recreational drug use". Some people use drugs to self medicate. Those people are hurt in some way. .
Radio silence
If sombody lives in a high rise and can't get AM, there's always this internet thing I've heard so much about and am using right now.
Many urban areas are limited in the amount of urban music they can get because of the nearly lilly white talk CBC stations on FM. Posted 05/02/08 at 11:28 PM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment .

Movie Review: "Be Kind Rewind" steals your heart like it stole its ...
It has all been done before. Everything that there is to be said has been said, to be thought or felt or considered has been thought and felt and considered. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the world of entertainment, where any film that is successful is promptly copied by every other studio in Hollywood. When lamenting the fact that there is no new material left, most Hollywood types will say things like “The Simpsons already did it" or “That's just Star Wars meets James Bond." “Be Kind Rewind," the new movie by “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" director Michel Gondry, doesn't copy any of these things. But it does copy Nickelodeon. .
Christmas Shopping Picks Up After Slump
Following a slow start to December, there had been concerns among retailers that hard-up shoppers were planning a frugal Christmas. But on the last weekend before the big day, it was clear people were finally taking the spending plunge and responding to early sales events and heavy discounts. Retailers described it as a critical trading weekend that could make or break their Christmas profits. The decision of many leading chains to offer big discounts to tempt customers appeared to be paying off. A spokesman for the British Retail Consortium said: "We are expecting by close on Christmas Eve to see a modest growth, similar to last year, of about 2.5%. "I think retailers will feel in the current climate that they have done well if they match year on year growth." In London, a spokesman for the New West End company which represents retailers on Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street, said Saturday's sales had exceeded retailers' expectations.
