Keep Coming Back to Kanye.
Kanye West’s new album is being compared to Mozart. Why is that?

Yesterday, Ben Kaplan of the National Post compared Kanye West‘s newly released album: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to the works of prolific composer, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (see article here). It’s a valid comparison. Because not only does his album redefine what we’re used to hearing on the top charts, but his 40-minute film, Runaway, brings that music to life in a contemporary and beautiful form of video art.

A while ago, we had the opportunity to interview the very talented Mr. Jay Jolliffe who is otherwise known as DJ Lucy ‘Lo. His mixes specialize in house and techno; worth downloading here. But what’s more important, is he’s now been hooked up with the one and only Mowgli for a one-off show this coming Saturday at The Social! The party goes until 4:00 a.m. so prepare for a big one! See you ponies there!

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.

Concert Review: A Short Story Long.
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!”
