    Street artwork that blows the mind...

    There's been a lot of cool pieces of chalk artwork, but I haven't seen any in the past quite this detailed. It's incredible... the amount of planning that must go into these has got to be intense. http://io9.com/5159210/little-towns-consumed-by-lava-flows-and-crumbling-glaciers

    Topless coffee shop in Maine...

    So, it appears that a unique coffee shop has just opened in Vassalboro, Maine. It's unique in that... the waitresses are completely topless.

    Steven Page leaves the Barenaked Ladies

    I might sound a little ignorant, but I'm not sure how big the Barenaked Ladies ever got in the United States, but it's a band I grew up with, and I recall singing their songs even when I was just nine-years-old ("If I Had $1,000,000" for the win!), and I consider some of their songs to be...

    From our front-page news: As much as the music industry would love to see an end to music piracy and album leaks, I think we can confidently say that it's never going to happen, at least not until extreme measures are taken (which I doubt is going to ever happen).
