Pink Mafia came out to represent at Camp Bisco X in full effect but getting there was one hell of a trip.  Directions were strange.  Lineups hellish. Shuttle buses didn't show up at the Amtrak Station as promised (or not as frequently). Promises weren't kept on certain ticketed VIP items (more to come on that).  But more importantly, the heat was in full force.  Ravers and hippies alike were in full force on the grounds of the Indian Lookout Country Club this weekend during the...

Montreal native MELISSA AUF DE MAUR is definitely no newbie in the industry. With an extensive resume playing for Hole for five years and touring with bands such as The Smashing Pumpkins. Melissa is now touring for her second solo album “Out Of Our Minds” Melissa went to an arts elementary school and high school then went to Concordia University to which she got her BFA in Photography. “Out Of Our Minds” is not only an album it is also a film and a graphic novel. When I asked Melissa as to why she decided to make the album multi-media based...

Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky is about the tumultuous affair the two shared during the 1920s. The film chronicles how they met to their departure from one another, and the people they hurt along the way. The movie originally premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival year and here are my thoughts: The Good: First and foremost, the film is beautifully shot with awesome colours and art deco motifs, not to mention the fantastic clothes (and one should expect nothing less from a film about Coco Chanel!) Secondly, I thought that of the three Chanel films...

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...

Plot Synopsis: Following the death of their son, a married couple go on a trip to 'Eden,' their cabin in the woods, but the wife finds it just a bit too hard to cope with the pain. Genre: Drama/Horror Starring: Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe Director: Lars Von Trier Review: Every once and awhile, a movie comes along that rekindles my love with cinema and in today's word of recycled film, it's nice to see something as original as this. I loved this movie. Two words: genital mutilation. When I think back to when it premiered at Cannes, I remember reading about how audiences...

If you've ever had a soft spot for 90s Britpop, you need to get your hands on No Distance Left To Run, the new documentary about British legends Blur. The story behind Blur is one of complex misleadings, theft, and an explosion onto the international music scene that led to the infamous "Battle of Britpop" between Oasis and themselves. The chart rivalry that should have been the most exciting time of their lives shed light on a real issue--musicians are human beings too. As guitarist Graham Coxon once said, "I started to wonder if I was in the wrong band....
