This is a link to my coverage of the annual CMJ Music Festival at the sister blog to this one, Honourary Canadian. The post, Three Fun Showcases for Great Canadian Acts at NYC’s CMJ Music Festival, includes lots of pictures like the one of Yamantaka//Sonic Titan at the top of this post, and a video of the band Kandle, from Montreal.
Posted yesterday at HonouraryCanadian.com, sister blog to this one, a brief post with a photo of some amazing baking done by my wife Kyle Gallup, an artist in paints and pastry. 
Last June at BEA I picked up an advance reading copy of the forthcoming book Chaser: Unlocking the Genius of the Dog Who Knows a Thousand Words by psychology professor John W. Pilley, then made it my #FridayReads one week in August. I’m writing again about it now because Shelf Awareness posted a charming video trailer for the book today. This amazing book on the science of the canine mind will officially be published October 29.
