UFO
Yesterday was World UFO Day and I celebrated the only way I know how — waking up with a sense of relief that the black oil from X-Files didn’t invade my eyeballs, and then making a list of 20 songs about aliens for Huffington Post Music Canada.
You can read the list, which prominently features one of my all-time favourite songs “The Purple People Eater,” by clicking here.

Mickey Avalon
The 2013 edition of NXNE has finally ended and I can say with a certain sense of shock that I didn’t end up developing my annual case of paralyzing bad back from it (though I do appear to have a cold).
Over the course of NXNE I ended up seeing the following acts: Brendan Croskerry, Calexico, Santiago x The Natural, Sunfields, Brendan Canning, Wordburglar, D-Sisive, Elaquent, Sunclef + Peroff, By Divine Right, Hayden, The National, Blowfly, Brave Little Toaster, CTZNSHP, Weaves, The Lytics, Catl, White Lung and Mickey Avalon.
Some of whom I wrote up about in the NXNE wrap story for Huffington Post Music Canada. You can read that by clicking here.
I also took some photos of varying quality. Check those out below.

Lady Gaga
As anyone who lives near Toronto’s Queen West district is fully aware, the 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards just happened over the weekend, dramatically disrupting everyone’s lives for the sake of a giant teenager-baiting street party/live television event.
I’ve been to a number of these over the years in a professional capacity so I wrote about some of the best and worst MMVA performances for Huffington Post Music Canada.
You can read that list, highlighted by Lady Gaga‘s exploding boobies, by going here.

In said list you’ll find out why hating on Neil Young‘s Trans album means you’re an asshole and why Eminem‘s, well, bad.
