20 Questions with Cam Hunter and Tyler Armes of Down With Webster
Hailing from The Beaches right here in Toronto (call it the Beach and it's all over) the seven guys of Down With Webster have hit it big in the last couple years. If you're like us, then you were a fan before radio and MTV got a hold of them and you know that these guys have more variety and skill then 95% of artists on TV these days. DWW has been described as a modern-day Sly & The Family Stone meets the Beastie Boys. You can catch them performing at the MMVA's on June 20th where they've been...

Wednesday June 16
If your weekend warrior status starts on a Wednesday, the Bovine Sex Cub is starting off the after hour splendor at 2AM on Wednesday with performances by Victim Party, The Decay, The Cavaliers and DIY it up. We can't make any promises but there's a good chance that Eagles of Death Metal are going...Cooking: Grilling for Girls
Same old story. You do all the work and prep and Mr. Macho man gets to be caveman for a day and stand around with his stupid little tongs and his still warm PBR and take care of the serious business of grilling. Eff. That. Noise. Grab your spatula's ladies. Barbecue season doesn't have to be all beards, burgers, and beer. you can totally have a healthy girls night around the barbecue without the gristle. We made grilled tomato bruschetta, glazed salmon, and grilled peaches with sweet coconut cream. Grilling the tomatoes releases lycopene, a strong antioxidant. Salmon is chockfull of...
Understanding Olive Oil
I effing hate Rachel Ray, like throw her into a venomous pit of snakes and laugh while I shake my fist hate. However; if we excuse her for her general person and overuse of her repulsive acronym E.V.O.O. sister makes a point. Extra virgin olive oil is the shit no matter how you say it. Extra virgin (if only) has a less acidic quality than regular old olive oil and its loaded with antioxidants as well as omega 3-6-9 fatty acids, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats . Olive oil can prevent a whole string of diseases and ailments, when you're...

Review: The Sadies- Darker Circles
The Sadies have been one of the few modern bands able to create an ache of nostalgia for music past. If we were to include all their collaborations since 1998 Darker Circles would be their thirteenth studio album, Darker Circles is far more pensive than its predecessor Country Club (feat. John Doe), it pains me to use such a cliché but it really does sound like the soundtrack to an unwritten movie. Guitarist brothers Dallas and Travis Good, drummer Mike Belitsky and bassist Sean Dean have paired with Jayhawk and producer Gary Louris to make an album that...
Canada, Eh! Mmm…hmmm: “Vanity Insanity”
The tales of Canadian girl from Toronto now living in Southern Virginia... When you examine a person’s car, you cannot help but imagine what the driver is like—everything from their physical appearance to their personality. Here in Virginia, not much is left to the imagination. Believe it or not this is the number one state for vanity plates, according to the Department of Motor Vehicle’s June 2009 report. The data collected was based on 6,025,517 vehicles, and 1,668,137 of them being registered for personalized license plates.
A regional publication, the Virginia Pilot did a brief story about a...
Malibu By U: Draw Your Own Boobs & Guns
Despite the fact that it gets its name from the wrong side of Mexico, Malibu Rum hails from Barbados and stinks of straight-up leisure (plus 21% alcohol). Like so many morning-after Facebook photos, each bottle is a testament to all of your best and most rampantly drunken Caribbean memories, such as:
- Barfing into a steel drum;
- Barfing through a ghost pirate;
- Barfing a mélange of rum and jerk chicken onto a voodoo priest named Shango-Shango Motumbe at a Bob Marley festival.
Toronto Fashion Week Doesn’t Have Any Real Friends
Editor's Note: If Toronto Fashion Week had real friends, they would tell her that the lighting was garish at the Allstream Centre, that the Allstream Centre was basically in Etobicoke. She would hold her while she cried for nights on end about how there is no support and no money for young talent in Toronto or Canada and that's why she must keep whoring her self, for cheaper and cheaper as the years go on and she sinks further into the depths of "for real? this is the best you can do?"...
Tiger Tiger Woods Ya’ll
2009 was a year of upset for Pink Mafia. As the Tiger Woods scandal broke, the harsh reality hit. It was the year we had been out played, out macked and out sexed by a golfer. SHOCKING. Tiger doesn't really run in our social circle, or our desired social circle, or even our make believe social circle so obviously we don't pay much any attention to him. But once his tally of mistresses hit 14 we were nothing but impressed with his stamina. Maybe we should take up golf? Anyways the point is, we wanted to share the above photo with...
Ron Jeremy’s secret: Kiss, Pull, Squeeze
Pop quiz: You're a young lady, at a hotel party, enjoying some beers. Ron Jeremy saunters up to you, grey-black mane dangling like a greasy mop at his shoulders...he caresses your little hand between his two beefy paws and requests, like a gentleman, if he can go down on you. What do you say? TOO LATE. He already made you explode like a chinese water fountain. Just from being there. Just with those two stoney eyes locked into your own, in those two seconds between "Hello" and "I'm Ron." How does he do it? Men have always wondered how this...
