Stevie Nicks
UPDATE: Because Spinner is RIP this full story can now be found here.
Fleetwood Mac recently performed in Toronto and by all accounts put on a pretty heartening show.
While she was in town Mac singer Stevie Nicks had a sideline agenda of sorts, heading down to the TIFF Lightbox theatre for a screening of her documentary In Your Dreams and a related Q&A.
Sarah was there and wrote about the whole thing for Spinner.

R.E.M.
UPDATE: Because Spinner is R.I.P. this full story can now be found HERE.
We recently passed the 30th anniversary of R.E.M.‘s debut album Murmur and to celebrated I decided to go through all the band’s studio albums and rank them “from ass to awesome.”
Understandably, there were people who didn’t think particularly highly of this exercise. Especially after I ranked Out Of Time 14th out of 15.
