Just to the right of that, a mob of incessant cheering has broken out and will most likely ring on for about an hour or so. Right in front of you, people are probably parading around to the cackling of talent-bereft pop monstrosities, […]

But one trend that seems to be ever-growing – and for good reason – is that of environmental friendliness and, for specifically, supporting local food.

Results are in: McMaster band Of Gentlemen and Cowards is headed to an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman in mid-September.
