The Walk

The Walk

There’s a thing going on right now where Hollywood isn’t just churning out remakes and franchise flicks, it’s also mining the world of documentary filmmaking in order to create new feature films.

Sarah took a closer look at one such example, Robert Zemeckis’ new IMAX film The Walk, to parse whether or not this is a good thing.

Jazz Cartier

Jazz Cartier

Jazz Cartier, whose excellent debut album Marauding In Paradise is filled with Toronto-isms, is doing a mighty good job of his own to romanticize the 6.

I spoke to him for SOCAN’s Words + Music magazine about the city and how he created his unique cut ‘n’ paste songs.

10 Anti-Stephen Harper Songs

Blue Rodeo

Blue Rodeo

A few days before the Canadian federal election Sarah was commissioned to find a bunch of anti-Stephen Harper songs.

It wasn’t difficult.

After all, relatively mainstream acts like Blue Rodeo and Yukon Blonde had weighed in with their own related protest tunes.

Anyway, we’re pretty sure this list is the main reason why Harper lost to Justin Trudeau in the election.
