Hey, Canada, you actually need to check this out. I’m not normally a fan of Classified, but you really need to watch his video for “Oh Canada” from his album Self Explanatory.

Check out this brilliant cover of the day that started circulating on Tumblr tonight. The video features singer Lauren Zettler with her musician friends Cameron Mizell, Kait Lawson, Allison Weiss, and Danielle Owens-Reid performing Go West’s “King of Wishful Thinking” and played on mandolin, ukulele and banjo.

Alright, Lost fans, another interesting video leading into the sixth and final season. Producer Damon Lindelof tweeted the link to this video today, and it’s well worth a watch.

For those of you who celebrate such things, Merry Christmas! Here’s a little Christmas jingle by Mariah Carey to get you in the holiday spirit (honestly, I’m not a fan, but this is an awesome Christmas song). Now off you go – eat, drink and be merry!

By W. Andrew Powell • Dec 23rd, 2009 • Category: Television

I couldn’t help but pass this along; the latest promo from ABC for the next (and final) season of Lost, which debuts on February 2, 2010. There are few shows I’ve been this obsessed with, and I don’t know how I’m gonna get along without Lost, but I still can’t wait for this season to start.

Bring on the answers, people.



The Muppets sing Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”

By W. Andrew Powell • Nov 24th, 2009 • Category: Features, Music & CDs

Maybe the most awesome thing I’ve seen this… year? I don’t know, it’s pretty freakin’ ridiculously great though. As a huge Queen fan I’m surprised I’m okay with this since I’ve hated quite a few covers over the years, but this is The Muppets we’re talking about. Can they really do any wrong?



Zero Punctuation: The 100th episode

This is a bit late, but it’s well worth celebrating, so I had to pass it along.

On August 5, gaming critic Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw, AKA the man behind Zero Punctuation, celebrated his 100th Episode over at Escapist Magazine.



Harry Potter… the music video?

By W. Andrew Powell • Jul 21st, 2009 • Category: Movies & DVDs

Okay, this is officially my last Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince coverage, at least for the forseeable future, but I had to pass this along.

Going above and beyond the normal call of duty for film promo material, here’s Josh Powell’s video for “Big Beat Repeat”, which appears on the film’s soundtrack.



Playing the bully: Tom Felton talks ‘Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince’

By W. Andrew Powell • Jul 17th, 2009 • Category: Features, Interviews

Tom Felton was 12-years-old when he first won the role of Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. At the time, Warner Bros. had picked up the rights to the first four books from author J.K. Rowling, but it is hard to imagine that anyone realized then just how big the franchise would become.



Danny ‘Music Man’ Michel

By W. Andrew Powell • Sep 29th, 2008 • Category: Music & CDs

Aside from my Basia Bulat fixation, and watching the CBC Radio 3 vodcast, I’m suddenly on a big Danny Michel kick again. Haven’t seen Danny in concert in months, and I’m starting to get that nervous twitch (on the bright side his site says he’s at the Rivoli in Toronto from December 11 to 13, so I guess I can survive another couple of months).
