Thank Him Later. Much, Much Later.
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.

Calling All Commandeers.
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.

A Summary of Canadian Music Week.
Concert reviews by our bandwagon cowboy, Ross Gower.

Sometime shortly after CMW the weather became unusually beautiful and I suddenly woke up a week later realizing I hadn’t accomplished anything. Well, it gave my thoughts some time to stew at least. And during the festival, I’d teamed up with my talented photographer friend Luke Champion hitting the scene hard. Here’s an outline of our adventures.
