Beth Ditto Solo Project
We're digging on the new Beth Ditto, of Gossip fame's solo stuff. First single, "I wrote The Book" is poppy and fun and like so much of what the Gossip do, it'll probably have many lives in remixes on gay and straight dance floors everywhere. But the video, which has got to be inspired by Madonna's "Justify My Love" period, is a gorgeous throwback to the fun part of the 90s. Big hair, matte makeup, peek-a-boo underwear, black and white, minimal beats and glamour. We love love love it. Fresh to death.

DÉCLASSÉ-FIED: Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
Justin Bieber falls victim to internet bullying, sexy Soviet spies, The Black Eyed Peas are revolutionary, and mini-Madonna is making her mark on materialism.
Half a million strong to send Justin Bieber to North Korea! This is why I love the internetz. An official contest was launched where fans get the opportunity to vote to have Justin Bieber tour their country; location with most votes wins. The Spice Girls did this during their reunion tour. (Toronto won, obviously.) Well, epic website 4Chan, notorious for being hilariously hilarious and spawning an internet sub-culture of LOLs, took over every girl's dream...

Phoenix w/ Holy Fuck en Revue
Toronto's own Holy Fuck and France's golden boys Phoenix rocked the shit out of the stage at the Sound Academy Saturday night. Although the weather outside was a bit on the chilly side, inside was radiating with heat from the energy of the hundreds of people waiting for one of France's most famous exports.
