I’m in 5th grade. I’m living with my dad and I don’t have many friend at my french imersion school. I did end up making some great friends. They were Sweedish and a tad older then me, but oh my! did I love them! Ulf Ekberg (Buddha), Jonas Berggren (Joker), Jenny Berggren and Malin “Linn” Berggren AKA Ace of Base played on repeat in my room, my livingroom, my dad’s car and my beautiful yellow walkmen (R.I.P) for at least 6 months. 16 years later, it’s still nothing short of amazing. Well the old stuff is anyways…

POP-pop-POP!
The apple picking season has arrived, I am now wearing a sweater to go
out and it is already the time of the year for the POP Montreal
festival. With more than 300 performances in 5 days, it is the perfect
opportunity to discover new bands. Last year, I saw Passion Pit (while
they were only famous on the blogosphere) and it was one of the best
concerts I have seen in 2008. See you there!
Who’s Gonna Hunt Chris Brown Tonight?
Thanks to mister Arcade for sending me this. A true Youtube masterpiece!
Joke: young and fresh
Our friends from TTC found this young man a couple of months ago and since then, he has been making more and more noise.
His first video just came out and I promise you it won’t be his last. Oh and he’s wearing the “Luxe, Élégance, Camembert” t-shirt from Rated Rookies 
Sohodolls
I recently discovered this UK band. I’m a tad late but better late then never, no? Their album “Ribbed Music For The Numb Generation” came out back in 2007 and their songs have appeared in shows like Gossip Girl. I heard the track “Bang Bang Bang Bang” while watching a video on the ELLE UK magazine’s webTV. It’s the perfect mix of electro-pop with a little bit of a rock twist. Kind of reminds us of this season’s fashion inspiration! Good stuff.
Screw the shutter shades
Kanye popularized the shutter shades look last year but now Rihanna is coming up with a new trend, the Barracuda studded sunglasses (seen in “Run this town videoclip.) Designed by A-Morir, you can get them for 350 US dollars. Although it is not guaranteed that you will be able to see properly, you’ll be sure to be in fashion!
Run This Town – Jay-Z + Rihanna + Kanye West
Because Jay-Z is by far my favorite rapper of all time. Because Kanye West has a verse on this that proves us that he can be as good as his “big brother”. Because Rihanna has grown up to be one of the most stylish women in show business. For all those reasons I present you my new favorite video: Run This Town.
I remember…
In 2004. I’d just arrived in Australia. Life was ahead of me, and this song too. My head is filled with dreams and desires. I listen to this song while perfecting my tan on the beach while working at surf camp. It’s truly magical. 5 years later, it’s just as magical, even with lyrics like ”I got a fat sack and a superfly chick”.
Rich Boys
Last October, Me and 10 of my closest friends went on a trip to New York City. We had a pretty ghetto appartement waiting for us and no other plans besides going to the Banksy exhibit and see La Caution’s show. During that trip, my friend Baz had Rich Girls from The Virgins on repeat.. Only to keep doing so on his way back, which is when i fell in love. With the song. And now, Little Boots has done a pretty great cover of the said song.. enjoy!
Spike Goes West
We were once fairytale is the title of the new 12 minutes short film by Spike Jones featuring Kanye West. The famous rapper plays a caricatured, pregnant (with a demon) and hallucinatory version of himself. I wonder how that’s going to turn out.
