1 Canoe 2 | Letterpress Calendar

Happy New Year! We've all said goodbye to last year—with "Dear 2013" Facebook statuses and "Best Moments on Instagram" slideshows (that Statigram theme song is still stuck in our heads)—but now it's time to turn over a new leaf, as they say. A new year, a new blank page, a new calendar. Sure, our computers and phones have a calendar App, but it's always nice to have a physical reminder of the date up on the wall, on our desk, and in our hands.

Garmentory

We love a good sale (I mean, who doesn't, really?), but we don't necessarily like sifting through a mismatched sale rack of the season's leftovers. This is where Garmentory comes perfectly into play: shop sale items directly from the independent boutiques and designers that you love—without the hassle of feeling like you're digging through a bargain bin. 

B.A. Johnston | No Frills

With the opening track on his new album Mission Accomplished called “As I Am in Tim Hortons, I Realize I Hate Tim Hortons”, it’s definitely safe to say that B.A. Johnston is the most unique and to-the-point musical artist out there. Armed with his facial hair and distinct, hilariously honest attitude, Johnston is releasing his ninth full-length album and once again doing an extensive Canadian tour, which runs until the end of November. ION’s Music Editor Trevor Risk chats to him and finds out more.

The Darcys | Itchy Blood [VIDEO]

Do you remember the first time your parents let you stay home without them? Did you concoct a drink out of 7Up and chocolate chips and then dare your younger brother to drink it? Did you frantically search the house for stag mags, trying to see if there were boobs SOMEWHERE in your home? The Darcys' new video for "Itchy Blood" takes every viewer back to a time we can all relate to, and as a bonus it stars two ball-hurtingly hot women who are styled to dreamy perfection.

Trentemøller | The Great Dane

If you’re looking for run-of-the-mill house music, Trentemøller won’t be your thing. This Dane seems as though, at times, he surprises even himself. Lacking the fear to branch out and try something new and unexpected, has ended with a traditional DJ heading out on an arena tour, full live band in tow. We can’t wait to see where else he might go, and neither can he. We asked Jemayel Khawaja to speak to Anders Trentemøller about his influences, creative process, and where he draws the line.
