Broken Social Scene is pretty much the Kevin Bacon of Canadian Indie Rock.
We’ve put together an infographic to show the creative span of supergroup Broken Social Scene! The band has had more than 20 members who have formed their own bands, and in some cases those bands have featured members of other notable acts.
To emphasize the collective nature of the scene, we’ve also included several members who simply collaborated on recordings. For instance, KC Accidental was Kevin Drew and Charles Spearin’s band, but their recordings feature at least seven other BSS members.
Oh, and if you’re curious, BSS is only two degrees removed from Kevin Bacon.

Obviously needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but very eye opening.
Damn, this is a very niche joke and I’m definitely in the niche!

The Postal Service Auditions (Funny or Die)
Wow. Starring: Jon Wurster, Foo Fighters’ Nate Mendel, Aimee Mann, Duff McKagan, Moby, Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge, Weird Al, Helmet’s Page Hamilton, Jimmy Tamborello, and Ben Gibbard in a very ridiculous wig.
Should have gone with Page Hamilton.

I saw the first episode. It is safe to say I’m going to see every episode.
Japandroids’ “The House That Heaven Built” is #5 on our Top Tracks of 2012.
My favorite of the year- or at least recent memory.
You can’t determine the ethos of an entire age by looking at a sub-sub-sub-sub-culture. Rather, there are far more prominent indicators like, for example, a society’s cultural output. Take that into account, and a different picture emerges. The success of filmmakers like Judd Aptatow, the increasing popularity of ultra-sincere indie artists from Arcade Fire to Vampire Weekend, and the proliferation of wholesome, though not traditional, family-centered television shows like Modern Family point to a rise in what some call the “New Sincerity.”
I am involved in the ongoing liquidity risk assessments of TD Securities lines of businesses. Along with my colleagues on the Treasury Initiatives team, I ensure that any possible liquidity risk is identified and modeled accurately. Additionally our team is responsible for interpreting new regulation, developing new reports and reviewing current assumptions.
Recent projects I have worked on:
-Interpreted, produced and continue to report the Basel III Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). Additionally, I developed an automated process around the report in anticipation of more frequent reporting requirements.
-Contributed to the development of a Contingency Funding Plan (CFP) for TD Securities.
-Developed a counter-party specific market risk report, that details the derivative exposure of a single, or list of OTC counter-parties.
-Developed and currently produce a monthly liquidity risk dashboard for the wholesale bank. Including the monitoring of key market indicators, currency liquidity gaps and funding spreads, etc.
I was responsible for issuing and responding to daily margin calls, moving collateral to and from counter-parties, and daily regulatory reporting.
