Video of the Day | Peter Peter "Bien réel"

Thu, 11/17/2016 - 17:17 by karyn

Peter Peter's new video for "Bien Réel" is initially underwhelming, but evolves quickly to match the energy of the second single from "Noire Eden."

Directed by Bertrand Touchard, the video relies heavily on the Droste effect - or "mise en abyme" for you art kids/Quebecers - but the multiple exposure shots make this a must watch, but maybe with the audio off. As beautiful as the song is, I can't help but feel like I'm listening to Thom Yorke sing in French. 

Cupcakes & Cashmere: Felicity Faux Suede Shift Dress

Thu, 11/17/2016 - 11:21 by karyn

What’s your suede situation? Suede is so happening right now. If you don’t have suede stuff, what are you waiting for? Oh, you’re worried about the weather ruining it? Understandable. What about faux suede? The Felicity Faux Suede Shift Dress from Cupcakes & Cashmere lets you take advantage of the suede craze without worrying about the damage fall’s wet weather can bring. You don’t want wet suede. It’s like, ew, stinky. No thanks.

Pissed Jeans - "The Bar Is Low"

Tue, 11/15/2016 - 13:40 by karyn

Sub Pop’s mighty Pissed Jeans are back. The first single, “The Bar Is Low”, from their upcoming album Why Love Now dropped today and it’s perfectly as angry, sarcastic and scathing a song as you would expect from the Philadelphia-based post hardcore purveyors.  All grinding bass and authoritative riffs, “The Bar Is Low” is an indictment of today’s male and how often so many of the men that we look up to end up being revealed as awful people.

Rag & Bone: Harrow Boot

Thu, 11/10/2016 - 09:57 by karyn

Not sure if the Harrow Boot from Rag & Bone was named after a farming tool, a school in England or a municipality in Ontario but you need a pair so who cares where the name comes from. These boots are classic and can be paired with denim or fancy wear. Plus, they’re this blushy taupe colour that’s so hot right now. The Harrow’s are leather-lined and have a padded footbed so you can wear them all day without your feet hating you. Don’t you hate it when your feet hate you? The worst!

1994: The Year Boomer Hate Rock Broke

Wed, 11/09/2016 - 18:24 by karyn

When five middle-aged schmucks get the band back together after years away from the spotlight, it’s usually the kind of nostalgic feel-good ride saved for a Hollywood sequel, not an excuse to spew bile on their audience being led astray. After all, it’s not like the Eagles, America’s patron saints of bridge and tunnel rock, were ever known for pushing any sort of political agenda beyond venerating SoCal hedonism and the male ego, both of which contributed squarely to their demise in 1980.

Trentemøller's New EP 'Fixion' Doesn't Disappoint

Wed, 11/09/2016 - 12:12 by karyn

Danish producer Trentemøller is back with a new EP entitled 'Fixion' and I couldn't be happier about it. His productions are deep, haunting and evoke emotions that are at times both melancholic and beautiful. Andres has been around for a long time but he always manages to stay relevant by reinventing his sound while never failing to affect. 

Song of the Day | Bonobo - "Kerala"

Mon, 11/07/2016 - 14:29 by karyn

Throughout his career, Bonobo has consistently delivered some of the best contemporary electronic music, drawing from a deep well of styles and inspiration in a state of constant evolution. His 2010 release Black Sar1ds is a triumph of electronic music and The North Borders which followed felt like a natural progression from its predecessor. His latest single "Kerala" reminds us why Bonobo deserves our attention.

Video of the Day | Train's "Drive By" (For those awkward, middle-aged one-night stands)

Sat, 11/05/2016 - 07:39 by karyn

Summer might be over, but who can forget those hot Okanagan nights? Thanks to Train, listeners can enjoy the carefree joy of a budding summer romance any time of year. I really don’t know much about Train, other than the fact that they dress like denim-clad dads kicking back after a beer league softball game. “Drive By”, the debut single from 2012’s California 37, starts this party off right by comparing the casual nature of a one night stand to a gangland shooting. Is it in poor taste?

The LEGO Batman Movie – Trailer #4

Sat, 11/05/2016 - 07:31 by karyn

The LEGO Movie was great and I love Will Arnett's "LEGO Batman" character, but I'm a little vexed about this movie. Is there a LEGO Gotham City? Does LEGO Gotham City exist in the same universe as The LEGO Movie? Are they still in Will Ferrel's basement? 

Why is there much pop music in this trailer? Are music royalties way cheaper if you're making your movie in LEGO? Did they get LEGO Wiz Khalifa to perform "Black and Yellow"?
