Wynn Las Vegas & Encore
Have you been to the Encore Beach Club? No, then apparently you’re missing out on one of life’s great baccanalian adventures. So says Sarah who got to spend some time there as part of a whirlwind Las Vegas adventure awhile back.
She found the entire facility at Wynn Las Vegas & Encore particularly awesome, from the afternoon pool parties to the entirely classy hotel.

LMFAO
Contrary to popular belief, we aren’t entirely no-fun cynical haters of populist music. In fact, the Risky Fuel homestead welcomed the music of party rockers LMFAO into our household a few months back and it’s been a non-stop danceathon ever since.
Sarah, in particular, has been so smitten by the antics of the technicolor duo that she went to see the band perform recently at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. Sarah found the brilliant spectacle to be pretty much the equivalent of watching the Teletubbies — except for adults. You can read more about this theory in the live review she wrote for the National Post by clicking here.
Relatedly, here’s the most popular LMFAO song in our household right now:

Chris Isaak
Update 1/5/14: Because Spinner is RIP I’ve unearthed this story and it can be read by going here.
Last month we told you about how Chris Isaak doesn’t like shitty singers. Well, now the companion feature to that story is out and you can read it by surfing over to Spinner Canada here.
This illuminating Q&A features Mr. Wicked Game talking about hanging out with Roy Orbison (jealous!) and how his brother made him pack a straight-razor with him when he went to New York City. Y’know, in case a dance fight broke out or something. There’s other stuff, too, so go read it.

Brendan Canning
Unless you’re a Canadian indie rock fan who received free records in 2000 you probably have no idea who Cookie Duster are. But if you did, the fact that Cookie Duster are back is a big-ish deal. That’s because Cookie Duster are Broken Social Scene’s Brendan Canning and his assorted friends.
Canning went on the Official Danko Jones Podcast recently and announced that his old band was being revived. Aaron then dutifully wrote about it for Spinner. To read the story click here.

Justin Bieber, impregnator?
Everyone’s being all scandalized by some woman’s claim that Justin Bieber has fathered her child. Those same people don’t realize that part of this whole process is about massaging Bieb’s image to make him seem more “mature” and get film roles and such.
Anyway, this whole scenario was fascinating to Team Risky Fuel, so Sarah went and spent a whole weekend researching musical paternity cases. Needless to say she knows more about rock star paternity claims than anyone should.
