Sparkly, mournful indie rock torn between Nova Scotia & Montreal, and fixated on sad scenes from Super Nintendo RPGs, Steely Dan lore, and Sailor Moon. Quietest band at the loud show / loudest band at the quiet show.

I had the great pleasure of penning a piece on Grape-Nuts Ice Cream for Issue 7 of Serviette Magazine and got to ramble on about two of my favourite things: hyper-regional foodstuffs, and the Halifax Explosion!!

I spoke to Waco's Kaleb Blain, a transgender pitmaster working to create space for trans people in Texas BBQ. After being doxxed, attacked online and let go from Terry Black's, he's now forging his own path:

"I have to do this for the rest of my life."

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

Palantir has basically built something akin to a real estate site, but instead of house-hunting, it's for people-hunting.

Watch @404media.co on ELITE: The Palantir app ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid

Did you know that @nikostratis.com and I are hosting a recap show about The OC? It's called The OC, Again. Just to recap, it's a recap show about The OC. The first episode just came out.

thinking about the heyday of the DSLR live music video series in the 2010s, and how Joanna Newsom came close but ultimately couldn't do the Black Cab Sessions because it turns out you can't fit and play a harp in the back of a cab no matter how hard you try.

So Ubisoft's Halifax studio JUST unionized, the first in North America to successfully do so, and then Ubisoft just happens to decide days later that they need to shut down the Halifax studio. Ghoulish behaviour.

Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen.

Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.
