Posted by: Paul Little • December 22, 2025 @ 1:43pm
Two Crows for Comfort are a Manitoba folk duo (with roots and country leanings) who spend a good chunk of their year touring around North America with their dog in tow.

Heist movies are great. I love putting the plan that's unfolding onscreen under a microscope and picking it apart. Who doesn't like to think they are smarter than a criminal mastermind?

I'm out of town this week, so there won't really be explanations for my Top 5 picks (but don't worry, they're still below).

Grand Analog can't be pigeon-holed into one musical genre. Incorperating elements of hip-hop, rock 'n roll, reggae, dub, blues, and even a bit of punk rock, there's a lot of musical flavour to experience.
There's been quite a break since I last posted the late night line-ups on ShowbizMonkeys.com, but I hope to keep this up regularly from now on.
The sophomore prom has ended. Well, the school-sponsored part of the night is over, anyway. The drama, however, is only just beginning.
