  • Kids From 95-Live From 95 – Here's a video of some kids from NEEDS CENTRE, where I used to work and still volunteer, and 95 Ellen Street/ IRCOM here in Winnipeg. They're telling it like it they see it! They all came here to Winnipeg as refugees within the last couple years. It's true what they say in the song, they've worked hard to be where they are. These kids are awesome! I feel proud of these little dudes. It's nice to listen to music that means something to the musician. "From all around the world, from the war zones..."

  • Empire of Illusion – Those familiar with this website/ band might have noticed i'm interested in the work of Chris Hedges. He has a new book, Empire of Illusion. As has become customary, i am forced to urgently recommend that the general public attempt to obtain, comprehend and act upon the analysis contained within its pages. Post-haste people. Time is short. (08/22/09 by Jesus H. Chris #)

  • Dominion Interview – Erin Empey, guitar hero of Canada's best living punk band, The Rebel Spell, moonlights as a journalist. Here, in the soon-to-be prestigious Dominion magazine, she asks Chris such penetrating questions as "when are you playing Vancouver?". Wait, there's more (although i just noticed that my comments about Afghanistan, The Vancouver Olympics and the Stephen Lewis Foundation got left on the cutting room floor. is there no justice?! will i never be heard?!?). Watch for a potential Propagandhi/ Rebel Spell onslaught in Western Canada this fall. (06/12/09 by Jesus H. Chris #)

  • When the credits finally… – What do Oprah Winfrey, Anthony Robbins and Chris Hannah all have in common? No, it's not that we're all multi-millionaires. Close, though. To find out you'll have to watch the documentary Food Matters, a film by James Coluquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch, nutritionists turned filmmakers. It's a very interesting look into human health and our food/ medical systems. Keep a keen eye on those credits if you wanna have a good laugh! (04/08/09 by Jesus H. Chris #)
