Our interview with fellow ponies, Side Pony Nation!

They’re hot, they’re funny as hell, and they’re fellow ponies! When we caught a glance into the lives of Side Pony Nation via Youtube, we laughed so hard our scrunchies came loose. Together, Lynn Moffatt and Tanya Casole-Gouveia have taken rap-pop to a refreshingly comedic level with catchy guitar riffs and spunky lyrics. Sitting down together, ponies alike, we asked these girls how they got started – seeing as they’re just getting started.

Shane Koyczan’s Short Story Long use wordplay to captivate their audience.

Let’s be blunt: there’s no question that this performer is not aesthetically what audiences expect to see on centre stage, spotlight beaming in on all of his glamorous imperfections. But Shane Koyczan has developed a comfort with himself that few people can pull off; a comfort that both radiates and sucks in the audience, and obliges them to listen to what he has to say: “Fuck physicality, give me some reality!”

An album review of Toronto’s own, Drake: Thank Me Later.

Being famous is hard. That’s the message Drake hammers into the listener as he blathers on about the difficulties of being able to make it rain coin like Mario headbutting a question mark. Normalcy seems to have escaped him, as evidenced with lyrics such as ‘Niggaz wit no money act like money isn’t everything’. Funny, last time we checked, it was. Flaunting his hefty pockets, teasing those less fortunate, and talking about ‘stacking dollars to the perfect height’, Drake should seriously consider spending less time constructing scale model towers of money, and spend more time buying drugs. Because for someone stuck ‘throwing hundreds when he should be throwing ones’, a solid injection of reality might do this architect some good.

Our Rodeo Rocker’s drunken interview with local hit, The Commandeers.

So I was sitting at Ronnie’s in Kensington, basking in the sun and getting ready to meet up-and-coming rock group: the Commandeers, when two giant Vikings (in town filming the prequel to John Carpenter’s “The Thing”) sat down and started feeding me beer. I couldn’t exactly get away from them because I abide by the moral maxim that one should never leave a beer unfinished. So needless to say, they got me wasted and told me to find the band’s balls when I interview them. Once I reluctantly agreed, they let me go without any raping or pillaging, and I made my way towards the interview for some much deserved shotgunning.
