Dark Mean

It seems as though my music genre of choice this years is folk.  I recently bough Devendra Banhart’s breakout album, Rejoining in the Hands, I’m loving Bon Iver, and I’m really looking forward to Rock Plaza Central’s new album.
And just recently I’ve come across a great new band: Dark Mean.  They may not be folk [...]

Bravo Miss California

OK, So I’ve been hearing about this Miss California controversy for days now, and it has upset me enough that I’ve been moved to speak up.  Basically, my problem with the recent media coverage is that it has not given Miss California’s answer the credit it deserves.  Everyone is debating one [...]

Despite her swagger, Lilia cannot play guitar hero, 2. look for a cameo from Theresa the Wino, 3. Click the video below to [...]

Provinces in Peril

For all of you who found my Canadian Politics posts a little dry for your liking, you will probably find these clips from Mr. Stewart a little more interesting.  Frankly, I’m surprised he dedicated so much of his show to Canada.
Although I am a little disappointed in his reliance on tired Canadian jokes, such as ones targeting [...]
