I nearly burst into tears when I pushed play on this video…New Order are back! Oh how this band has been missed. While I enjoy Depeche Mode my 80s synth heart beats for New Order. I carved our names into a tree, giant heart…big arrow…the whole deal.

Here instantly captured my attention with the clever Portishead Glory Box sample. It took a couple of listens to actual move past the sample to “hear” what Alessia Cara was saying. She riffs like Def Poetry Jam in structure and style. I don’t understand how the machine…the system works?
How does a girl go from Brampton, Ontario to performing on BBC Radio 1?

Like most people Kanye West’s Touch The Sky introduced me to Lupe Fiasco. His debut album came with Kick, Push a smooth rap song about skateboarders. Alright Lupe you have my attention; once he had that I was rewarded with The Cool. An outstanding rap album: complex, dark and soaked in creativity.
Craig White…the dynamic host of Verbal Paintbrush is hosting a booth at Artfest this long weekend in the Distillery. Right beside the Love lock sign (which is kinda ironic since he worked on the Lovelocks logo). Go forth and check out the art…his and all there is so many fantastic booths. Oh and beside Craig’s booth…there is a patio and beside that is an ice cream store selling Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Oh Yes…
