Darkness On The Edge Of Town

Darkness On The Edge Of Town

Sarah recently wrote a story for Consequence Of Sound’s Aux.Out section about how she learned to love a post-irony music world via Bruce Springsteen’s Darkness At The Edge Of Town.

There is, to be fair, a lot more to it than just shunting off old Beck songs. In the story, and in real life, she confronted some school bullies from her past.

The end result: singing “Badlands” at the top of her lungs.

Barb Honchak And Her Marvellous Unicorn Shirt

Invicta FC’s flyweight champion Barb Honchak successfully defended her title against Japan’s Takayo Hashi on the weekend.

And though Honchak won by decision, not chokehold, it’s still a worthwhile enough reason to revisit the pre-fight interview Sarah did with her for Fightland.

They talked about all sorts of things, but most important was probably Honchak’s official t-shirt: “Every time Barb Honchak chokes a bitch out a unicorn farts a rainbow.”

Unfortunately, her fight record hasn’t quite matched her place in history.

Young attempted a comeback fight at last weekend’s Invicta card.

Sarah interviewed her before the event for Fightland. Read the story by clicking here.

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has set his sights on the boxing ring with a series of fight-inspired Vuitton items including a heavy bag and boxing gloves.

Considering Lagerfeld refuses to exercise in real life this appreciation is… peculiar.

So Sarah wrote about it for Fightland.

Fleetwood Mac have recently welcomed Christine McVie back to their touring lineup. Titular head Mick Fleetwood has been making news for something different, however — his photographs.

The musician has apparently been taking photos for years and has been showing them off at galleries while on the Mac’s current tour.

Sarah spoke to him about it for Huffington Post Music Canada.
