Dr. Who’s Tardis
Doctor Who is making an appearance in an unlikely place — on the rashguards designed by Toro BJJ for Brazilian jiu-jitsu training.
This seemingly odd intersection of sci-fi nerd culture and fight culture isn’t actually that odd at all and Sarah investigated why for Fightland.

Flight Of The Conchords
Because we’re uncomfortably deep into awards season Sarah took a look at some television shows to determine which had the best soundtracks from their time on the air.
Some of the names that made the cut include The Wire, Twin Peaks and Life On Mars.

Godspeed You! Black album cover
By now most good musicos are aware that Godspeed You! Black Emperor won the 2013 Polaris Music Prize.
We also know how that turned out.
What folks don’t know is that because of a combination of indifference, content hoarding and a dismal sense of history on the part of previous Polaris Gala broadcasters, this is the first time you can actually go back and watch the full awards show broadcast without worrying about it disappearing from the internet.
So please go back and watch the telecast via Aux TV if you haven’t. I was responsible for writing a solid seven per cent of the dialogue that came out of co-hosts Kathleen Edwards and Shad’s mouths.

Marcia Brady and Sarah
When the folks at Fightland discovered Sarah’s pseudo-fight past in the Pillow Fight League the logical conclusion was to get her to write about her adventures during her time in the league.
Her first recollection was about how she fought — or tried to fight — Maureen McCormick, best known as Marcia Brady, for an episode of Celebrity Fit Club.

Deadmau5
Last week Sarah had a moderately unpleasant interview with EDM musician and professional mouse-head Deadmau5 in advance of this weekend’s Veld Festival.
The one bright spot in the conversation came while discussing D5’s campaign to get on British car show Top Gear and how Justin Bieber derailed his Twitter campaign to get the show’s attention.
In said story he called Justin Bieber a “little prick.”
