The open road. For almost all aging rockers, the very concept is synonymous with freedom and vitality, the kind of place where the soul can heal following a tragedy and return from the abyss with renewed strength and, with any luck, maybe even the creative spark needed to produce a late period masterpiece like the Monkees’ Pool It! or the Beach Boys’ Still Cruisin’ (wait, these are terrible).

Dirty Projectors have always been divisive. They are the type of band that people desperately love or hate and it’s easy to see it from both sides. Their records all share the same touchstones such as complex musicianship, unusual rhythm and melodic structures, abstract lyrical concepts and challenging arrangements that can culminate in a pretension that many find unappealing.

Though currently quite hyped across both contemporary and classical scenes, it was really just over a year ago that Montreal-based pianist Jean-Michel Blais was playing for an audience of one. That is, unless you counted a few roommates and neighbours that could sense him gracefully stretch his fingers across his apartment's old upright in the early a.m. hours, some more willing to hear this than others.

It’s still winter outside. It’s winter inside too but you probably have the heat on. It’s going to be winter for another couple of months. Maybe you need new boots? Maybe you want something different but reliable? Maybe you want something with rubber because why not? Maybe you already have tall boots but you want something ankle-length?

Winged insects serve a purpose in our world. Not sure exactly what that purpose is but some of them are colourful and pretty. Butterflies are moths on Prozac. So what if they have to take medication to happy? Most of us do. Respect the moth’s medicated cousin with the Masowild Butterfly Embroidered Shirt from Yes Style. The butterfly is small enough that it doesn’t take over the whole shirt.

Flowers are pretty but they have a secret weapon inside them that turns noses red and eyes to waterfalls. That weapon is pollen and it’s the worst. It’s hard to get flowers without pollen because they’re like equipped with it. Or something. Ask a scientist. For those of us who are allergic to pollen but still want pretty flowers, there’s the Floral Fit and Flare Dress from Front Row Shop.
