If I were stuck on a desert island, here are a few things I might bring...
So, I’ve been wearing out my Guerrilla 24 jeans as much as possible since they arrived at my doorstep one balmy fall afternoon. I’ve decided to track my progress through this photo series. I can’t say there has been a tonne of creasing or fades …
I hated overnight camp. I felt left out from everything, maybe because I wasn’t suburban enough. I don’t know, but this looks fun. I’m excited to see what dry wit and chemistry Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola might dream up.
I got snared into going to the Gladstone Hotel for New Year’s Eve the other week and the only thing that made the stupid 40$ cover charge justifiable was that I would be seeing one of my favourite Canadian Fool’s Gold Record’s DJ teams rock the house. In anticipation of the night, I did some googling, and lo and behold, it turns out that the god damn interview that I did with them for AOL Spinner’s SXSW preview coverage a year back is quoted on their wiki page, aaand i’m the only journo quoted. You’d think that they’ve had some better press out there, but I’m not complaining :)
Well, it’s nice and all, but i think this new JOT5 EP album cover and album preview probably has a bit of a broader appeal.

I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty excited about Museum Secrets – Season 2. Being an ancient history geek and Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations studies grad from U of T has its benefits when it comes to specialty TV these days. One of the great …
Glerups are an exciting product from the Scandinavian land of warm and fuzzies, a.k.a. Denmark. I quite like the vibrant, earthy, woolly tones that they’re available in. But what are they exactly? It’s a sock, it’s a shoe, it’s a combination of both that is ready for indoors and outdoor use and abuse.
Made from 100% wool, the makers of Glerups actually encourage users not to wear socks with them, exploiting the natural fibre’s natural self-cleaning attributes and their ability to keep warm even when damp, five times warmer than any other fabric even.
Glerups come in three styles, the slip-on, the shoe and the full on ankle boot. All models are lined with calfskin soles that provide whisper soft steps, and come in a wide variety of colours. So far, you can order yours at www.glerups.ca. I’d love to be able to see what a pair can do in this cold-snapping of a Toronto winter we’ve been experiencing.
As a horror/gore buff I’m ashamed to admit that I don’t remember watching John Carpenter’s The Thing, or the shoddy remake of recent years, but I have reconnected with my favourite Swiss penguin mime, Pingu. This claymation remake is impossible to resist.
My favourite Montreal slo-disco producer CFCF has recently released this remix for Active Child, one of the more interesting groups on the post-dubstep/chillwave/borderline witch house groups to emerge from the Vagrant Records roster. Ok, he’s probably the only one. Listen to the end for the …
I scored my first pair of Palladium boots at Lavish & Squalor maybe 4 years ago. I loved them because they were leather, winter proof and looked like a really upscale and rugged Chuck Taylor. Sadly, my cat pissed on them one day a few …
