Bruce Springsteen
My latest “This Week In Music History” feature went out again this week over at the Spinner.
This week we learned how long it took Bruce Springsteen to get his just rewards, revisited Jim Morrison getting arrested onstage and Ray Charles getting strangled onstage (seriously, he didn’t see it coming).
To learn more about these things and to read a bunch of other stuff that made music history, click here.

Taylor Swift & Tom Odell
British next big thing Tom Odell and serial boyfriend disposer Taylor Swift may or may not be circling each other in some publici-dating capacity. If they are in fact the real deal, however, Sarah will have been one of the first people to track the genesis of the fledgling relationship.
It seems Odell thinks Swift is deeper and darker than she gets credit for, and Swift just thinks Odell’s OMG good.
It must be love.

Grimes’ boots
The latest edition of my Polaris People column is online over at the Polaris Music Prize website.
Because I went on vacation last week I broke from the traditional Polaris People format and instead found 10 Great Gifs involving past Polaris nominees. Grimes‘ boots are in there, so is Damian Abraham from Fucked Up flopping around as well as Feist shooting fireworks.
To see what I’m talking about, go here.
