Adidas has been synonymous with style since back in the day. Fun fact, back in the day is an actual measurement of time, like once upon a time and that one time.
Another Day, Another Sumwich: Remembering the Denny’s Rock Star Menu
Mon, 11/21/2016 - 15:09 by karyn
If you can’t be a rock star, at least you at eat like one, right? In 2008, Denny’s, America’s monument to chronic insomnia and poor eating habits, unveiled the Rock Star Menu, a feast for the senses honouring that celebrated synergy between music and food, particularly during the wee hours of the night when the show’s over and we’ve got nothing to eat but our feelings and maybe a Moons Over My Hammy.
Artful Vision | Nastia Cloutier-Ignatiev

We've all been there: you know you're good at something, but it's just not what you see yourself doing for a living. From that realization, some follow their gut feeling while others stay complaisant. Though Nastia Cloutier-Ignatiev struck everyone as the marketing/entrepreneur type, that wasn't going to cut it for the young artist.
Film Review: Arrival
Fri, 11/18/2016 - 13:34 by karyn
This week I watched a science fiction film that has moved me more than any other in recent memory: the newly released Arrival film headlined by Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Forest Whitaker. This science fiction movie was elegant, with striking effects and was surprisingly inspiring, which is something quite odd for this particular genre.

Video of the Day | Peter Peter "Bien réel"
Thu, 11/17/2016 - 17:17 by karyn
Peter Peter's new video for "Bien Réel" is initially underwhelming, but evolves quickly to match the energy of the second single from "Noire Eden."
Directed by Bertrand Touchard, the video relies heavily on the Droste effect - or "mise en abyme" for you art kids/Quebecers - but the multiple exposure shots make this a must watch, but maybe with the audio off. As beautiful as the song is, I can't help but feel like I'm listening to Thom Yorke sing in French.

Montreal visual artist and muralist Olivier Bonnard is one to take risks and be creative. A fast-rising artist to say the least, Olivier Bonnard's work can be found across the globe. However this week, no need to travel the world to get a glimpse of his vision. If you live in Toronto, or perhaps just passing through, make sure you stop by Olivier Bonnard's first solo exhibition "Contortions."
Pissed Jeans - "The Bar Is Low"
Tue, 11/15/2016 - 13:40 by karyn
Sub Pop’s mighty Pissed Jeans are back. The first single, “The Bar Is Low”, from their upcoming album Why Love Now dropped today and it’s perfectly as angry, sarcastic and scathing a song as you would expect from the Philadelphia-based post hardcore purveyors. All grinding bass and authoritative riffs, “The Bar Is Low” is an indictment of today’s male and how often so many of the men that we look up to end up being revealed as awful people.
Encyclopedia Hearsay | Australia

The Encyclopedia Hearsay was founded on four principles: misinformation, rumours, half-remembered conversations, and outright lies. Anyone can contribute, so long as articles are written with no research whatsoever. If you are citing The Land Before Time as a source, or abusing footnotes like David Foster Wallace, you are on the right track.
