Film | STAND

Mon, 05/06/2013 - 14:13 by Natasha Neale

As I walked into the Frederic Wood Theatre at UBC on Friday evening, there was a palpable and distinct buzz in the air, and a long circling line around the corner. People were excited, and all gathered there for a reason: a joint cause and passion. And after seeing this powerful documentary—a grass roots campaign to raise awareness and protect British Columbia's waters from Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline, by B.C. filmmakers, Nicolas Teichrob and Anthony Bonello—it’s easy to see why.

Exhaling Change | Project Thankful

Wed, 05/01/2013 - 14:36 by Natasha Neale

Community is so important, and with the world of social media changing so fast, it clearly alters all the ways in which we interact with people. While the social media world is fascinating and allows us to connect with more people in a fairly easy way, human interaction and connections are still so important, especially within communities.

The Pastels | Check My Heart [VIDEO]

Mon, 04/29/2013 - 23:45 by Natasha Neale

The Pastels' new single, "Check My Heart," from their forthcoming album Slow Summits premiered this week. Shot on 16mm film with minimum set-ups, "Check My Heart" is the story of one early spring Saturday in Glasgow, Scotland, where "lives overlap, connect, coincide, the music is a constant; sometimes only playing in our heads."

"Check My Heart" released on 7" yesterday, which includes the b-side "Illuminum Song." Both songs will be available digitally as a bundle from May 27th.

GRAPES OF WRATH | High Road [review]

Mon, 04/29/2013 - 12:40 by vanessa

I didn’t expect much before listening to this new Grapes of Wrath album, High Road. I was forced into learning about the Grapes of Wrath when my sister-in-law gave me a shirt autographed by all four members from the early nineties. My knowledge of them is still cursory at best, but I have a deep appreciation for their album Now and Again. High Road has quite a bit in common with Now and Again. The songs here are strong, have dynamics, but are very overproduced.
