This is a very special episode of the TIM podcast, as it features an interview with Nathan Stretch from Bass Lions, and he even performs an exclusive, brand-spankin'-new track for us! I should also add this episode has 50% more acoustic guitar string squeaks than usual. Listen close.

Tasty Bites by Expo

The End Of The Album by Bass Lions
With You by Brett Caswell
Scout Leader by Brian Borcherdt

When you're able, raising money can be fun. STAND Canada hosts its first Cocktails For A Cause event in Yorkville to help end genocide in Darfur, Sudan. I also went to the fourth annual A Benefit For WaterCan at the Steam Whistle Brewery, where MTV veejay Nicole Holness and model Stacey McKenzie were in attendance. Both were part of a soon-to-be-aired WaterCan public service announcement.

On this podcast we have falafels, beer and Chinese noodles at the opening night of the Toronto Jewish Film Festival. Then we head over to the Lend To End [Poverty] fundraiser to learn about micro-lending to women in South Africa, where the effects of apartheid continue to hinder progress.

There were also a couple of surprise guests - Ben Mulroney of CTV's Canadian Idol and Evan Solomon, host of CBC News: Sunday.

The Arts Now has gone to video! After a short hiatus, Amil & I bring you a special video edition of the Arts Now.

Warning: Nudity and silly sex talk.
