City And Colour
I interviewed City And Colour‘s Dallas Green awhile back and he gave me a bit of early inside stuff about his upcoming next album.
Basically, it’s not going to be some crazy free jazz freakout. Mostly it’ll be like past City And Colour albums, featuring “sad sounding, melancholy songs.”

Ice-T & Snoop Lion
Ice-T was in Toronto recently for TIFF 2012 to promote his film Iceberg Slim: Portrait Of A Pimp. The film features numerous contributions from rappers talking about the original pimp-poet, including a pre-Rasta conversion Snoop Dogg.
Sarah interviewed Ice-T about the film, and when she had some down time she also asked him about Snoop Lion and Snoop’s other TIFF film, Reincarnated.
Ice doesn’t think “Snoop Lion” is going to last.

Arcade Fire
To coincide with TIFF 2012 the Arcade Fire, K’naan, Raine Maida and Chantal Kreviazuk performed at a fancy charity show to help Haiti put on by a group called Artists For Peace And Justice.
The party was filled with A-listers like Jude Law and Eric the vampire (Alexander Skarsgard).
Sarah was there. And when she wasn’t somehow constantly running afoul of Paul Haggis (dude, you’re not that important) she managed to write about it for Spinner.

Snoop Lion
The director of the film Reincarnated says Snoop Doggs conversion to reggae rastafarian Snoop Lion is the real deal.
Snoop recently had a chance to explain his new worldview himself at a Reincarnated press conference during the TIFF 2012.
He answered some questions, but mostly left everyone guessing in the end. Essentially, there’s still some Dogg in Snoop Lion, what everyone’s trying to figure out it “How much?”
Sarah recapped the event for Huffington Post Music Canada. You can click through to read the whole thing here.

The film, which is debuting at TIFF 2012, was directed by Andy Capper, the man behind the insane-o VICE Guide To Liberia series.
Sarah spoke to Capper about Reincarnated for Huffington Post Music Canada. Capper told her Snoop’s conversion is “the real deal.”
