Steven Page has left The Barenaked Ladies, as announced late yesterday in a statement posted on the Toronto-based band”s website and Page”s own blog.

Page intends to continue to sing without the band, with plans of recording a solo album and collaborating with The Art of Time Ensemble, such as in the concert I quite enjoyed last June.

He also intends to try his hand as composer for a production of Bartholomew Fair at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival later this summer.

The band was co-founded by singers Page and Ed Robertson over 20 years ago in Scarborough, Ont. Their early hits such as Be My Yoko Ono, Brian Wilson and If I Had a Million Dollars quickly earned them radio airplay, which led to numerous other radio hits and over 10 million records worldwide.

I still have the Barenaked Ladies” first EP released on cassette tape, perhaps best known as The Yellow Tape.

The band had recently recorded Snacktime, a kids” album, which they were also touring recently in between stadium shows for adults.

A shocking turn of events on Bromance! No, it”s not that Brody threw a hissy fit (albeit a fake one). It”s that Alex was eliminated, thus taking him out of the running to be America”s Next Top Sidekick. This was a surprise - at least to me - as Alex seemed like the one to beat. He seemed nice, grounded, and just muted enough to be the perfect second banana. However, when he failed to be honest to Brody during a prank concerning flamboyant jeans (dubbed “BJs”), his stock rapidly plunged. Personally, I felt this was somewhat unfair. Yeah, Alex didn”t man up and express how he truly felt about the jeans, but given the dynamic that Brody has created - one where these guys are actively seeking his approval - what else could the Brodester really expect but genuflection? Of course, not everyone kissed Brody”s ass. Femi was straight up honest and bashed the outfit, but I still wonder if his motivation stemmed more from fear of public humiliation or genuine concern for Brody”s reputation. Then again, does it really matter? No. No, it doesn”t.

The jeans foible was regrettable, but what really did Alex in was his inability to communicate with a super hot Playboy bunny. Instead of engaging in conversation, Alex pulled an electric guitar off the wall and blurted out some odd tune that sounded a bit like John Mayer, Jason Mraz, and Dave Matthews all rolled into one. In other words, it was awkward. (One thing I learned upon moving to LA eight years ago: people don”t really like jam band sounds out here).

Well, one thing led to another, Alex was sent packing, and now we only have three contenders left. And guess what? Now we only have one episode left. That was quick. On to the photocap….

The much anticipated release of Martha Stewart’’s Cooking School: Lessons and Recipes for the Home Cook has arrived in time for the holiday shopping season.  Martha has produced a cookbook that will please anyone on your gift giving list that enjoys cooking.  From the basics of cooking eggs through braising and roasting, it’’s covered in this easy to follow book.

Upon opening this book, I was struck by the beautiful, step-by-step photos throughout each chapter.  The various ways of cutting vegetables are not only described, but also appear in photographs on the same page.  Deeper into the book, the step-by-step photos take you through prepping a chicken for roasting through what it will look like when it’’s ready to come out of the oven.  Martha takes it a step further by showing the novice how to carve a turkey or a chicken as well.

Need a one-of-a-kind scarf? Try Happybee or BelleCheri.

Affordable jewelry that you'll see nowhere else? Look into Elegant Intentions or Pete Racey.

And I found some amazingly cute bags at breagha and Edie Castle and sd creations. There are so many more, but I only have so much space here.

Like eBay, check the seller's rep and feedback to make sure you're dealing with the most reputable people. Happy shopping!
