I have recently fallen in love with CBC Radio 3's podcast! It is just SOOO good!

They have some really cool music, some sparse (at least, thus far) commentary, and it just plain rocks. I like how they promote new and emerging artists...

So, what will ShaneWorld.ca podcast become? A podcast to promote up and coming writers? Hmmmm.

This morning on the CBC Arts section and there is this great article about John Cusack entitled the Cult of Cusack: Why to women love this man?.

John Cusack is no Brad Pitt. He’s got an oval head, a thorny nose, a maw like a coin slot and eyes that seem to disappear when he squints. His face is one of a kind, to be sure, but he’s nobody’s idea of a hunk.

And yet throughout the trite new romantic comedy Must Love Dogs, females repeatedly — almost mechanically — tout his character’s cuteness, which only proves the extent to which the Cult of Cusack informs our culture. Even screenwriters have bought into it.

The truth is Brad Pitt wishes he were John Cusack. For women of a certain age — maybe between 25 and 45 — Cusack is the ideal male. It’s not the image of perfection perpetuated in hip-hop videos or, say, a Brad Pitt movie, but rather a figure a teen girl might rhapsodize about in her diary.

To me the answer is simple. John Cusack is an "everyman". Everyone loves him.

The Globe and Mail is the best paper in the world. They cover all the important national and world news but are not afraid to cover strange and funny things.

There have been salvage operations to recover gold, silver coins and other forms of sunken treasure. But in a first, divers plunged to the depths of Quebec's Saguenay River yesterday to recover 2,000 pounds of sunken cheddar.

This was no random shipwreck's cargo.

The cheese was deliberately dropped to the bottom by an entrepreneurial cheese-maker named Luc Boivin.

I would try the cheese. Would you?
