Happy Weekend! What’s been keeping you busy? For me, it’s been shovelling – I skipped the workout entirely to get the driveway looking spick and span. It didn’t totally work but I’m feeling accomplished. Besides that, it’s just the usual fare. I’ve put together a list of things I’ve been watching, reading, listening to and […]
The year 2020 may be remembered as the year of the pandemic, but let’s not forget it was also a year of fantastic new music from many brilliant Indigenous artists. Music that spans genres and nations and that will stick with us for years to come! It was hard enough to pick just 10 of […]

It is stopping us from gathering to celebrate this important time of learning and honouring Indigenous peoples across Canada. June 21st is Indigenous Peoples Day. This usually means gatherings, in-person ceremonies and celebrations across the country. But this […]
Awe man… I hate to be a “Debbie Downer,” but I’m just not really into playing the album cover challenge going around on social media. I tried and I am sorry… I like lots of music and I’ve never cared what genre it falls under or how cool the artist was or what their place […]
Ever since Ontario declared a state of emergency and everyone went to isolation I’ve been wondering what people do on their birthdays? I see birthday notifications come up on my Facebook, and I know that a lot of my friends have children who also have birthdays. With social distancing restrictions in place we can’t throw […]
Amanda Rheaume is back with a brand new single. The best! But don’t expect the same folk style you know and love from Amanda. She’s back better than ever with a new sound on her new single The Best!… And it’s all-female! The Best is produced by Robyn Dell’Unto, and features Kinnie Starr. When she first […]
