Vazaleen remembers Will Munro at Wrongbar
As you may already know by now, Toronto artist, DJ and queer icon Will Munro passed away in May following a lengthy battle with cancer. He was thirty-five, and he’ll be missed by the great many people who got to feel his impact on the city and its culture throughout the years. If you’re one […]

Link of the Day: Kraftwerk
Kraftwerk’s got a pretty great website. It’s deliberately simple and kitschy, but in an odd way, it’s also surprisingly rich. There are very few bands who could get away with something like this, but it’s in keeping with their aesthetic, and it totally works.

Published today: David Cross and Mathias Mental reviews on Chart
Two in one day! I enjoyed the new David Cross album, which has a lot of great moments, but it’s not his best work. It’s good, but he set a pretty high standard with his first two albums, and this one’s just not as strong. My review of the new Mathias Mental album was a […]

Link of the Day: Chainsawsuit
If you’re into something simple and surreal, then you’ll probably find Chainsawsuit to be one of the better webcomics out there. Thanks to David Cheung for posting the tip way back when.

Link of the Day: VotingBloc.org
Definitely a notable resource when it comes to “organizing and uniting voters behind issues not parties. If you are tired of partisan politics and elected officials ignoring the issues important to you then become a strategic voter.” You can join a local or national voting bloc related to the issue of your choice, and you […]

Published today: Peter Wolf Crier review on Chart
I quite liked this one. It does have a bit of a rough “indie” feel to it, but the tunes are there, and they’re great.
