• Just in case you missed it yesterday, Toronto Star writer Vinay Menon gives a pretty good rundown of yesterday's Late Night with Conan O'Brien Show. I fell asleep before I had a chance to set the VCR, but the rerun is showing tonight on StarTV at 10 pm EST!



• Toronto Star: Grimly funky dance masters make History: Fans get controller.controller disc: Punk-disco band big on guitar sound - I've known for about a month that controller.controller's debut CD is soon to be released. Can't wait for those 'death-disco' grooves! I still recall how wicked the band was live during the 2003 Pop Montreal festival. By the way, the band plays live this Saturday February 14, 2004 at Rockit as part of Wavelength 200. See details below(info taken from Eye Weekly:Concerts):
