Brittney Palmer
To the best we can tell, when the UFC linked to Sarah’s story about Octagon Girl Brittney Palmer’s paintings on their Facebook page it became the most “liked” story she has ever done.
And what’s to hate? It’s an interview with a woman who wears short shorts as a profession talking about how she makes paintings of Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger.

Matthew Good
Matthew Good has never played coy about what influences his music. Just ask him about Talk Talk.
I mention this mostly because he has a new album out called Arrows Of Desire and the Pixies played a pretty big part in its creation.
I know this because he told me as much for Huffington Post Music Canada.

Louis C.K.
Awhile back barroom sociologist Louis C.K. went on a rant about how much he hated cell phones. Which is fine. He’s allowed.
Sarah, however, happens to make very good use of her smartphone and was invited to write a rebuttal to his column for Huffington Post.

Keanu Reaves
While Sarah was mostly on the music film beat at the Toronto International Film Festival this year she did get to make one interesting diversion — covering Keanu Reaves’ martial arts film Man of Tai Chi for the folks at Fightland.
Keanu wanted to make a classic fight film with this one, with all the tropes and traditions of past martial arts movies.
The jury’s still out on whether he did this brilliantly or stupidly, but you can read the review by clicking here.

Metallica Through The Never
As someone who is uniquely capable of charming old metalheads, Sarah was tasked with interviewing the members of Metallica when they were at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote their Metallica Through The Never film.
She spoke to all of ’em except James and had a particularly artful time chatting with the often-maligned Lars Ulrich.
