In this internet age, originality is a concept becoming more and more (understandably) difficult to come by, and the challenge is whether or not an artist can present some new ideas while still remaining melodious and enjoyable.

So when I'm listening to the band The Wilderness of Manitoba , that is exactly the thing that pops up in my mind. Am I making any sense? Is this too meta? I don't even know.

It is a series that has successfully [...]

In the past five years, the Drake has become many things to many people, and the various factions that have attempted to make the Drake their own have often bumped against each other. Members of the dance rock outfit OPOPO play the Drake Hotel Underground during the year end "What's [...]

(Ed. Note: I've fallen a bit behind on daily posts, due to the prep work for the launch parties . Yesterday's planned post about the Rhubarb Festival should go up late tonight, and this post is just getting in under the wire. Busy busy busy! - Steve) Ruby Coast at McMaster University's frosh week, Sept. '08. Tonight's a tough call for music. I suppose it depends on whether you're more into the indie rock or comedy scenes, but either way, you'll be tapping your toes, if [...]
