I spent the day watching videos on the Much Music site to ensure that I knew artists and nominees. I hope Feist wins the Best Video award for 1234 since it is stylistically superior than any other nominee. The use of colour (and sequins!) is brilliant.
And where is Metric this year? Emily Haines is très [...]

The whole city is talking about Mimi M.’s exposé on Lucinda McRuvy and Fiona Newsome! I never knew that there was this whole weird history with them. I never liked Fiona and now I know why. And I never knew that Lucinda was a designer. I just thought she was a journalist.

Well, I downloaded the entry.
It is so long! I haven’t spent this much time writing since my Grade 12 essay tearing apart “West Side Story” for ripping off “Romeo and Juliet”.

Oh dear. I’ve been so preoccupied with avoiding Mimi M.’s exposé that I haven’t had a chance to think about what to wear to the Much Music Video Awards Afterparty, hosted by my video-directing friends at Revolver.

The heat is on.
It’s the first heat wave of the year and I returned from a recent Montréal trip to discover the worst: my air conditioning was broken. My pet bunny rabbit, Lady Miss Angora, was suffering from severe heatstroke when I walked throught the door, the poor dear.
We gathered our wits and belongings, trying [...]
