What’s on Billy Corgan’s bookshelf? Oh I don’t know, maybe some Dostoyevsky, some Philip K. Dick, and definitely all of the Twilight books.
Was his feeble cry for sympathy an attempt at making 2008 a really really sad year? Billy bud, your best piece of music was released over 15 years ago. Then you went and followed that up with a bloated double-album and shed your hair. It was over when we realized that the girl in the band wasn’t actually singing; it was you all along wasn’t it?
So here are a few albums (in no particular order) that made 2008 rock for me:
- Blitzen Trapper – Furr
- Wolf Parade – At Mount Zoomer
- Beck – Modern Guilt
- Deerhunter – Microcastle
- Hayden – In Field & Town
- Stephen Malkmus – Real Emotional Trash
- TV on the Radio – Dear Science,
- Why? – Alopecia
- The Dodos – Visiter
- Blood on the Wall – Liferz

It’s officially over between me and Rogers. Here is a transcript of the latest battle between yours truly and Accounts Receivable:
Me: Why is there still $44.00 in extra internet usage charges, and why was I billed for the month following my disconnection?
Rogers: Do you know what bandwidth means?
Me: Never heard of it, enlighten me.
Rogers: We calculate all information sent and received by your modem.
Me: I think my modem was compromised, do I still have to pay?
Rogers: Let me check, please hold.
Me: Hold my ball-sack
Rogers: Pardon Sir?
Me: Hurry back.
Rogers: (2 minutes later) If your modem was compromised then you don’t have to pay it. Are you saying your modem was compromised?
Me: Where the fuck is Ted, I want to take this to Ted.
Rogers: I’ll log it as compromised, you don’t have to pay that charge sir.
Me: What about the extra month you billed me for, I don’t want to pay that either.
Rogers: You didn’t notify us within 30 days of your disconnection, so that is an eligible charge.
Me: Eligible for what, parole? I’m not paying that, no one told me to notify you.
Rogers: No one told you that you had to notify us within 30 days?
Me: That’s what I’m saying.
Rogers: Oh ok, then we can remove that as well. Anything else today sir?
Me: Goand.
Rogers: Pardon Sir?
Me: Go-and.
Rogers: Go and what sir?
Me: Fuck yourself.

[...] hate Rogers Communications. I danced in the streets when Ted Rogers kicked the bucket, and I used to phone their customer service department just to toy with their feeble minds. Today, Bell Mobility has crossed me in a way that makes me wish I could just dig up old uncle [...]
