Lisa Leblanc
Lisa Leblanc is awesome.
She calls the fiery folk-rock-bluegrass-whatever music she makes “folk trash” and it’s a mighty fair description.
I wrote about Leblanc’s folk trash as well as a wildly inspirational roadtrip she went on for The Bluegrass Situation.

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao
You may think this weekend’s superfight of the centuryforevermillennium is between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, but it isn’t. Not really.
It’s really about their competing musical surrogates Justin Bieber and Dan Hill.
Sarah wrote about this musical tilt for Fightland.

Neil Young announced he’s doing a concert in Edmonton on July 3 to benefit the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Legal Defense Fund, an organization that’s fighting the Grand Rapids pipeline implementation.
The show, which is under Young’s “Honour The Treaties” banner, is a continuation of a benefit tour he conducted last year.
I wrote about it for Samaritan Mag. To read the full story go here.

Floyd Mayweather
When Floyd Mayweather Jr. fights Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas on May 2 the people lucky enough to watch the bout in person will have paid a handsome sum to be there.
We’re talking minimum $1,500 US per ticket-level handsome.
Fifteen hundred dollars is a lot of money a person could spend on other, less ephemeral things.
Sarah contemplated purchasing some of those other things in a piece for Fightland.
