I am honestly humbled to have had the pleasure of showcasing our work to so many people during this year’s Supercrawl in Hamilton. The Factory Media Centre invited me to have an exhibition where I share the cinemagraphs I’ve made on a near daily basis during the weekend long street festival on James St. North. Read On…
Humble Thoughts
Our blog, our memories, our scribes.
In Concert: Super Furry Animals
Their hibernation has been a long one. Nearly eight years stand between the reconvened Super Furry Animals and Toronto fans. Mind you, it’s hardly the only city that was left to wait. Read On…
In Concert: Kevin Morby
It is, undoubtedly, cowboy chic personified at The Great Hall.
A bolo dangles between Kevin Morby‘s cream-coloured jacket as his guitar fills every inch of the venue. This is one of those our-little-secret shows, yielding bragging rights because you were there.

In Concert: Kamasi Washington
Kamasi Washington is a saxophonist you outta know.
Famously lending his talents to Kendrick Lamar‘s heralded To Pimp a Butterfly, he and his eight-piece ensemble have blown the roof off the Danforth Music Hall for NXNE. Read On…
In Concert: King Khan and the Shrines
When a crowd is ravenous for dance before the band takes the stage, you know you’re in for a good show. King Khan and the Shrines don’t disappoint. At NXNE they privilege the sold-out Legendary Horseshoe Tavern by gracing us with their royal presence.
In Concert: Baroness
I’ve never claimed to be a metal head, but something about a band named Baroness and its supporting act, Mutoid Man, intrigued me greatly. With a reputable pair of earplugs firmly tucked away in my breast pocket, I figured I had little to lose. Read On…
In Concert: Parquet Courts

Travelogue: Havana, Cuba
Havana is a diverse and historic city. I’m eager to visit the old squares and spend time away from the beaches. Yet, I’m travelling with my extended family, and they don’t speak English. This trip will be for their benefit, as we hire a Czech speaking guide and make a plan to see as much as a day will allow.
Travelogue: Varadero, Cuba
If you are looking for a vacation of relaxation and simplicity, look no further than The Sun Beach Hotel in Varadero, Cuba. Come for the discount, stay for the irony. The hotel is okay if you’re realistic in your expectations. I’m travelling with my family. My mom repeats the same joke to everyone who will listen, “It’s a 2 ½ star resort. But you bring two stars with you…”
How apt. I wish I could say she was exaggerating…

In Concert: Oneohtrix Point Never
Dan Lopatin’s Oneohtrix Point Never makes music that is unmistakably electronic.
Performing at Toronto’s The Hoxton, the show is observed by a sold-out congregation. Many stroking their chins, some enraptured by varying states of chemical bliss. Read On…
