Been having a heck of a time staying top of new music this year, so I started a newsletter. It's called Kool Kids Music Club. Musings, music recos and plenty of typos can be yours, all for the price of an email address. kkmc.substack.com/p/kool-kids-mu…

@domali3 @taylorswift13 @TorontoStar lol thank you!

@IanGormely @taylorswift13 @TorontoStar Just what I needed. Thanks, Ian!

Happy @taylorswift13 in #Toronto day to all those who celebrate. For those who don’t - or anyone else who just doesn’t “get” her - I wrote a little explainer for @TorontoStar thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Talked to @mennovers from @hollerado and @royalmtn about his new solo album, Hollerado reunion and some crazy times in LA. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Watching Uncut Gems to relax

I reviewed @japandroids swan song "Fate & Alcohol" for @exclaimdotca and dug up an old interview I did with Brian King for Spinner (RIP) back in the #CelebrationRock days. Fate & Alcohol review: exclaim.ca/music/article/… Archival Interview: kkmc.substack.com/p/no-53-younge…

"The show has a youthful energy that, after a while, would start to dwindle. I want the show to be remembered as everyone giving it [their all]." We spoke to @richaucoin about hanging up his parachute and his upcoming record 'Synthetic: Season 3' exclaim.ca/music/article/…

I talked to @richaucoin about his new album, Synthetic Season 3 - out November 20 - and the final "Parachute Tour" which is happening rn. See below for a sample of what we're all going to miss when it's gone and ead all about it @exclaimdotca exclaim.ca/music/article/…

The Tubi Van is a 1998 Plymouth Voyager with the TV/VCR/DVD combo upgrade, 4 storage tubs of VHS tapes, and a binder full of bootleg DVDs.

sci-fi movies assume major investments in public transit infrastructure that are just not realistic.

Hi quick media literacy on breaking news — maybe it’s helpful rn. If you see a variances in coverage, there are many reasons for that. 1) outlets have dif. standards for how to address speculation on crime scenes (ie what to say ocurred before law enforcement confirm) 🧵

oh god. Biden just confused Friends with Benefits (2011) with No Strings Attached (2011)

For the @TorontoStar I wrote about dwindling cultural hubs and what that means for the Toronto: basically a lot less weird and fun stuff thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Stereogum commenter makes a good point

My favourite part of this interview is when his publicist encourages him to have a snack

On This Day One Chord to Another is the 3rd album by @Sloanmusic released in 1996. It was certified gold in Canada. It was also the band's first album to win a Juno Award. Share your favourite songs and memories in the comments!! Karine

My galaxy for a Jedi with some goddamn personality #theacolyte #starwars

I spoke with the gracious and hilarious @alexstreliski for Exclaim! about being the odd pianist out at the rock festival.

Congrats @rachelmendleson (also everyone else)!
