Here’s a quick list of some of the goodies I’ve been checking out online lately:

• Making Friends — In which National Post staffers try to stop stabbing people.
• How the Mainstream Media Really Work, Part 25 — Why the CBC perhaps does need to be able to sell ads.
• Cinnamon apple dutch babies — This food blog makes me think I could maybe actually cook.
• Braithwaite Wallets — I really want one of these limited-edition wallets from this cool Calgary company. If only there were money in my current wallet. (Via Boing Boing.)
• “I’m Confused” — New Handsome Furs track. Nothing wrong with that.
• A Softer World — Just because.

Here are some of the things I’ve been reading and listening to on the web recently:

“Miracle” — a poem by Zach Wells. Sample: “I had the freakiest shit today/no, wait, don’t walk away”

“Love’s Grave” — world-weary songs from Amelia Curran

In-Flight Safety — is this Halifax band going to be the Next Big Thing? Dunno, but they’ve got a nicely polished sound. Here’s their YouTube channel.

“Shot Tower” — music from urban hillbillies from Montreal, aka The United Steelworkers of Montreal. Check out their video:
