Holy Shad
Electro jam rockers Holy Fuck and smart rapper Shad got together recently to create a way-out project called The Legend Of Cy Borg, the story of tennis star Bjorn Borg’s vigilante brother.
It is… wild.
I wrote about this peculiar project for the Polaris Music Prize website.

Roger Waters
When Pink Floyd released their album The Wall some decades ago it was considered lead singer Roger Waters’ personal statement on loneliness and isolation.
In recent years he’s tried to re-imagine The Wall for a modern world and one part of that puzzle was creating a documentary film about his 2010 concert tour of the album.
Waters’ talked about the film for a premiere screening at TIFF 2014 and Sarah was there to cover it for Huffington Post Music Canada.
