Sadly this year I didn't get to attend Ottawa International Film Festival ‘s Music Video challenge at Babylon Nightclub on August 19th. It was the music video challenge where musicians and filmmakers come up and make great music videos. Which was voted by a panel of three judges. This year there was no fan favorites for voting. There was alot of great videos being shown. The winner this year were (A three way tie): [...]

Es mejor tarde que nunca, dicen por ahí. Y es aún mejor cuando podemos meter en el Mixtape algunas de las canciones que más nos han gustado durante las últimas semanas. Hacía bastante tiempo no teníamos un compilado de lo mejor del mes con tantas caras conocidas. Gente de grueso calibre como Stars , Tame Impala , Noisettes , JEFF the Brotherhood , Freelance Whales , Dum Dum Girls , Natural Child , Eternal Summers y más. Esta semana nos tendremos que contentar con el [...]

(Zoë Baranski) Back when we were in high school, my sister rowed competitively. For years, my family and I would spend Spring weekends watching her out on the water with her crew, wondering how a nice Italian girl like her ever got interested in rowing a skinny little boat like that for sport. We did know the answer-she was partly inspired by Silken (one K) Laumann, Canadian Olympian and three-time medal winner-but never in a million years did we ever think this would have become her chosen sport. Kind of like never in a [...]

Going into this show, I really didn't know quite what to expect from Montreal's WE R DYING 2 KILL U . I knew very little about the band beforehand - what I could glean was that they were some kind of art punk project, that they were political, and most significantly, that this show would be a collaboration with punk legend and Crass founder Penny Rimbaud. What I didn't know was exactly what form said collaboration would take or what the band really sounded like in general as I couldn't really find any audio or video [...]

First night of Westfest 2012 happened on June 9, 2012. For those not familiar with Ottawa events. Westfest is a three day free outdoor music festival that takes places in Westboro, Ottawa. You can say the first night was kind of "Dance Theme" show. For the in between sets it was DJ Lakes District I was more interested in seeing Ottawa's Silkken Laumann play live. I've seen them play live various times. But this was [...]
