Fuzzed out guitars, a voice made of reckless sunshine and just enough outlaw to put some bad ideas in your head. Cobalt Cranes' "Flowers on Your Grave" makes me want to steal a Chevelle, rob a small town bank for building supplies and beer money and start a new community in the middle of the forest. Best summer ever man.

Walking around Montreal, you will likely be struck by two ubiquitous details: its street art, and its homeless population. This contrast of beauty and desperation inspired Matt Dajer, a recent McGill University graduate, and his team to start Heart City Apparel. This start-up sells clothes designed by artists that give back to the homeless in their cities.

Okay, so here's the thing with Joanna Newsom; sometimes I don't want to have to get into a crocheted hot air balloon to reach the top of Whimsy Mountain in the town of Gelfling. As an alternative, how about taking a stroll through the lush green hills of Endor with your little furry, though terrifying, Ewok buddies to their treetop metropolis? I know what you're thinking, "but I'm gonna have to hear that terrible 'Jub-Jub' song the whole time!" No worries friend.

There will be many mentions of how White Fence’s new album For the Recently Found Innocent was produced by Ty Segall, Tim Presley’s newfound partner in psychedelic crime. More noteworthy, though, is the mere fact that these songs were given the full studio treatment. Innocent… is Presley’s fifth album, but it’s his first solo effort to feature studio polish, such as live drumming. The album is cleaner and, with less of the bedroom fuzz and crackle, perhaps a bit less uniquely White Fence. But much of Presley’s trademark style remains.
