“Take at least five minutes to just lay down on the floor, on your back. It's so restful and restorative to your body in all the obvious ways.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SEX MACHINE OCTOPUS
“Watching it, brings such a warm feeling of nostalgia that hits close to home, and right in the feels. Also, there’s a band in it, dealing with creative struggles, and THAT, we know all about.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ WILLIAM LAWRENCE
“Too hard to list just one. Here’s a list of ten books I love…”
An unpaid political message from: PLEASE DON'T VOTE LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE, THEY'RE BOTH ACTUALLY NO GOOD
Because, after all, that's the nice thing about living in Canada: we have more than two parties to pick from. And this year, more than ever, it really feels like we need to collectively exercise our other options.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ AMPARO
“Alright, this suggestion might be an odd one but it’s something I think more people (especially us younger folk) should be doing. Go talk to your parents and grandparents and learn from their life stories.”
FANDCAMP: All Mirrors
“Operatic, tempestuous, and impassioned. Brimming with power and emotion. The aural equivalent of exorcising a past lover (with the help of a massive string section). AOTY.”
FANDCAMP: Iowa Dream
“How is it possible that there is this much amazing unreleased Arthur Russell music? So prolific. This album has some absolute stone cold gems on it, can't wait for the vinyl to show up!”

Newer Human Reminds Older Humans How To Properly Use Brain, Heart and Spine (Again)
“So even if you’re not ready to retire your ‘so much for global warming’ bit for a few more winters, at the very least, we all have to be ready to agree on no longer wanting to be a pushover minion for the extremely wealthy. We need to stop arguing amongst each other on their behalf. Against our own interests.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ BADHEAD HYLAND
“Also, cycling - me and my best friend kick about on our bikes like we're 10 - just when ya hit 30, you can afford a slightly sexier bike, but it's pretty much the same thing as to when you're younger. We still pull the same skids.”
