Neko Case

Neko Case

There’s shady work afoot in Peterborough, Ontario where the local arts-focused high school Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational School may end up getting closed.

Some enterprising students are campaigning against this happening, though, and a pair of singers named Kate And Janelle have gone viral with their protest, which comes in the form of a Neko Case cover.

Aaron tracked the gals down to talk about their school and meeting Neko, all with some bonus commentary from PCVS alumni Serena Ryder.

The Black Belles

Women who wear black and sing about creepy dead things rule. Relatedly, there were a lot of such women making music this year.

So many, in fact, that AUX TV decided to consider the Ascension Of The Witches one of the “nice” trends for their annual Naughty Or Nice list this year.

Aaron wrote said story and you can find it by clicking here.

Top 11 Music Videos Of 2011

Beastie Boys' "Fight For Your Right Revisited" Ruled

Beastie Boys' "Fight For Your Right Revisited" Ruled

Aaron recently went down a verrrrry deep Youtube rabbit hole and when he came out a couple days later he had created the Top 11 Music Videos Of 2011 for Spinner.

You can argue there were artier, more clever, or more ridiculous videos — and there’s a chance you’ll be right — but after seeing every variant of partial animation, exploitative use of child actors, famous people cameos, and use of disturbing prosthetics imaginable, we’re pretty comfortable with what’s there.
