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.”

P.S. Pro tip: Listing the amount of money you made in your bio won’t give you artistic cred.

Tiger
Tigers rule. They’re exactly like cats except they’re more giant and more killing machine-y.
They are also an animal that awful humans have almost driven to extinction in the wild.
In honour of the recent International Tiger Day I created a list of 15 grrreat songs about tigers for Huffington Post Music Canada.

Jimi 3000
The first round of films has been announced for the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and there are lots of music-related movies to be investigated.
Tom Hiddleston, best known as Thor nemesis Loki, will play a punk vampire in Only Lovers Left Alive, Outkast’s Andre 3000 will be Jimi Hendrix in All By My Side, Mos Def is in a film called Life Of Crime and Mike Myers turns a run-in with Alice Cooper’s guardian into Supermench: The Legend Of Shep Gordon.
There are more movies to be announced still, but Sarah’s got the lowdown on these and more for Huffington Post Music Canada.
