Paloma Dawkins

September 27 2013 // Magazine // Interviews

 

Through the past couple of years, I've had the pleaure of meeting some inspiring creative people that I almost instantly click with. Paloma Dawkins is a bright, positive bouncing ball of a human being. She agreed to speak with me about her current projects and interests.

So, as an artist do you need a particular space to focus in on your ideas and start working?

Godspeed You! Black Emperor – 'Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend! (music review)

Ty Segall - Sleeper

September 19 2013 // Magazine // Music Reviews

 

In Sleeper, Ty Segall puts down the expected electric and effects-ladened fuzz and instead picks up the acoustic guitar, resulting in an accessible and introspective LP. This is an intimate album, one in which he invites us into his most personal space, which, as it happens, is inhabited by a disturbed presence.

Book review by Chelsea Woodhouse

Are people with tattoos different from people without tattoos? 

Mudhoney @ Il Motore

September 11 2013 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

As far as I can make out, "edgy" occurs when middlebrow, middle-aged profiteers are looking to suck the energy—not to mention the spending money—out of the "youth culture". So they come up with this fake concept of seeming to be dangerous, when every move they make is the result of market research and a corporate master plan. –Daria Morgendorffer

Young Galaxy – Ultramarine

Rah Rah – The Poet’s Dead

KISS @ The Bell Centre

August 20 2013 // Magazine // Concert Reviews

KISS... One of the most well known bands to grace the face of the earth. To find someone that doesn't know KISS is like finding a lost tribe in the jungles of the Amazon, and probably just as rare. Most every person in every country has heard of and has a basic working knowledge of KISS, but thanks to high ticket prices, less and less people get to see the band. I however, cannot be counted among these people, as I went to the Bell Centre to see them on a Monday night in July, 2013.
