- McGill University marks the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species" and his 200th birthday anniversary with events and experts: http://www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/news/item/?item_id=104023 including an event on Sunday February 15 from 13h - 17h: "Evolution - It's About Time!" - interactive family activities (for the kids) and February 19, 18h: "What Darwin Didn’t Know" – Panel with evolutionary biologists moderated by the Museum's director, David Green.
- TERESA LAVESEUR: "FANTASIZE" (Toronto, ON, Canada) Indie Blues ... a track to get you into a Valentines Day frame of mind.
- PLANET EARTH: "TESTIMONY" (Toronto, ON, Canada) Indie R&B ... Howz about a "testimony" to illustrate your little heart's desire will last longer than the cut roses by giving a "potted" plant.
- HOLLERADO: "JULIETTE" (Montreal, QC, Canada) Indie Rock ... a track for all you Romeo & Juliette lovers gearing up for Valentine's Day.
- PYCHOTIC 4: "CHEAP ROMANCES" (Montreal, QC, Canada) Indie Rock ... a track dedicated to all the bachelors (like me) and bachelorettes (perchance you.) Loving comes in many guises does it not? To quote that ole Bachman Turner Overdrive song verse, "Any loving is good loving, So I took what I could get ..." Point to ponder, Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliette tale didn't exactly have a happy ending now did it? Exactly.
