Despite the huge feminist movement as of late, it seems that woman are still dealt a losing hand in today’s society. Look at magazines like Sports Illustrated, which sells to a demographic of heterosexual men by putting women in bikinis in their issues. Many woman would agree that this is degrading. Why is it that so…
I have had the opportunity to see both Bruno Mars and One Direction live within the past week, which is extremely lucky. So if you are just as lucky and you have the chance to go see either band live I have the low down to see I either concert is a good fit or you!…
These are some of my favourite, easy to listen to songs to play to whenever I need a break or just feel for calmer music. There’s a great mix to this list, from soft and mellow to more upbeat (though nothing too crazy), and from sad and melancholic to uplifting . I also love putting…
I had the pleasure of meeting Vancouver’s Sunshine, a five-person indie, pop and shoegaze band. Their music has hazy guitars, soft and breathy vocals, and overall make you feel happy and uplifted!

I love OK Go. They prove that music videos can be original, imaginative works of art, rather than just closeup shots of good-looking people dancing suggestively. (Besides, they sound pretty awesome, too!) One of my favourites is “All Is Not Lost.” If you use Google Chrome (high five!), go here to see the video with…

The deep fried Pop-Tarts are simply a treat that you’d get for the sole leisure of trying something different.
As the world becomes increasingly dependent upon the media, public figures such as pop stars receive more attention than ever before. However, one pop star in particular is taking the world of music by storm. Regardless of what stance you take with her (she’s annoying, she’s inspiring, or she’s just plain weird), it is completely true…
Local hip hop artist Dan Bennett, more commonly recognized as Transit, has recently produced a single with acclaimed Calgarian songwriter Jann Arden. Fittingly, the name of the single is called “Calgary.” The song represents the music scene in the city of Calgary, showing that “we are not all cowboys” and that this city is more…
Remember the DJ I talked about last time, Masa. Well, now he just got a brand new mix of k-pop in 2010. This time he mixed 60 songs together in one, itsn’t that amazing? [youtube Zz2Fgdbj9lc] Here is the list of songs that are featured. 2AM – Like Crazy 2PM – I’ll Be Back 2NE1…
