This Khatsahlano! Music + Art Festival is Vancouver’s biggest free music event, taking place on Saturday July 13.

Louise Burns has saved us all the pain of having to edit our iTunes playlists by not changing her recording moniker even though she's nearly 180'ed her sound on her second effort, The Midnight Mass, and for that, we thank her. We also thank her for this glowing tribute to The Old Grey Whistle Test on her new video for lead single "Emeralds Shatter".

We all know that phrase “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” and now there’s an easy way to turn that into reality, thanks to Toronto’s new online crowdmap Trashswag. Started by Gavin Cameron and his friends who are “into salvage” and restoring old furniture, they turned a hobby for their small group of friends into something the whole city can be involved in. It’s a site to encourage people to reuse things and take discarded materials and turn them into something new.
