Here’s the latest batch of news stories I’ve done for the Spinner AOL empire:
Disco funk weirdo Maylee Todd gets profiled in a Red Bull documentary.
Feist has re-released her “lost” Monarch: Lay Your Jewelled Head Down album on vinyl.
The MuchMusic Video Awards will feature performances by Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen and Nelly Furtado. In related news, I believe I have been aged out of what used to be the best party of the year.
Divine Fits exist. Which is only a big deal if you really cared about Handsome Furs.
Arcade Fire use Saturday Night Live to show support for Quebec student protests. Fight the power.
