JUNO what?

One of the runners up in the Jazz award section of the Junos is an up'n'coming Russian-born, 21-year old, Toronto-based sensation, Sophie Milman. She has a very mellow and melodious voice and is well-complemented by her back-up band. You can actually hear some of her tunes online (without paying or registering!) at her website and there's another free tune over at her Record Label's site here. (REVISION: Those links are defunct, so you check out her site here.)

Give it a listen...you'll be glad you did. (Oh yeah, she's cute too!)

Ups and Downs.

Yay. My favourite Jazz Singer, Diana Krall won a JUNO award for her Christmas album. A JUNO is Canada's version of the GRAMMYs. They both mean better sales for the artists and the ceremonies usually have slutty hosts. (Case in point...Pamela Anderson just hosted the JUNOs)
Boo. The Leafs lost in a shootout. Bang, bang, they shot me down. Sure they get one point, but at this point, it's pointless.
