The Sadies
Backing band to the stars The Sadies have recorded a song with Neil Young and they’re going on tour with him, too. But the band haven’t really had a chance to actually talk to him or hang out with him yet.
When they do drummer Mike Belitsky knows what he wants to talk to Young about — the San Jose Sharks hockey club.
At least that’s what he told Sarah when she interviewed him.

Peaches
Presumably you’ve forgotten about this already, but Pussy Riot are still locked up in Russia because Russia’s fucked up.
Electro rocker Peaches hasn’t forgotten, though, and Sarah spoke to her recently about the whole Pussy Riot imprisonment thing for Huffington Post Music Canada.

Feist

In the latest edition of PP I looked at the aftermath of Feist winning the 2012 Polaris Music Prize. There were funny gifs, fancy photo essays and confessional columns.
