The red and white striped shirt is an iconic staple for children who’ve grown up reading the first Where’s Waldo? book published in 1987.

Spun: Lykke Li
In 2007, Stereogum, a popular music blog, proclaimed Lykke Li an artist to watch, but they did so with a caveat: they stated her music was “powdered-sugar pop” and in the same vein as Kylie Minogue. It was a problematic assertion. There were and still are certian pop sensiblities that pervade Lykke’s music, but it’s… Continue reading Spun: Lykke Li
Wanda’s Visit comes to Lunchbox Theatre, won’t overstay welcome
Is there a better way to shake up a dull marriage than to have the husband’s bombastic high school fling come and visit for an indeterminate amount of time, all the while openly flirting with that very same husband? Yes — there are probably hundreds or thousands of ways. But it’s definitely a recipe for… Continue reading Wanda’s Visit comes to Lunchbox Theatre, won’t overstay welcome
Filmmaking for cheap at local festival
As time passes and we become more entrenched in this digital age, we forget about the importance of analog. Audiophiles argue that the warm sound provided by a record cannot be compared to the tin sound of CDs. A similar attitude gave rise to Calgary’s $100 Film Festival, now in it’s 19th year, which showcases… Continue reading Filmmaking for cheap at local festival

This is a big week for Newfoundland’s sweethearts Hey Rosetta! Their third full-length album dropped on Feb. 15 and its release has already set off a new wave of comments about the band’s similarity to Canadian juggernaut’s The Arcade Fire. While always a compliment, it’s quite daunting for the Newfoundlanders to be compared to the… Continue reading The Seeds have been

Into Eternity raises questions for the ages
No one has ever argued that the use of nuclear power is risk free, but the focus has long been on preventing disasters directly related to active power plants. Meltdowns and fires are the focus of safety efforts as they can have disastrous consequences, as demonstrated by the Chernobyl disaster. Over time, through diligence and… Continue reading Into Eternity raises questions for the ages
Lauchie, Liza and Rory, sibling rivalry at its finest
One would assume that a play called Lauchie, Liza and Rory would have at least three actors performing three characters. It doesn’t. The play only has two, and those two actors– Christian Murray and Natasha McLellan– are responsible for 10 different parts. The play focuses on the story of twins in a small Cape Breton… Continue reading Lauchie, Liza and Rory, sibling rivalry at its finest
