In Defense of Drake

Last night I found myself in the midst of a conversation that I’ve heard one too many times. Is the most notable hip-hop artist to ever come out of my city a sell-out? I won’t rehash the entire debate, but I’ll outline my point again with the hope that I won’t have to repeat myself any time soon.

Toronto is truly the greatest place on this earth.—

1 Love T.O.

I’d call that a successful weekend. I got to sleep & spend time with people I enjoy spending time with. I’m still not sure why everyone seems to think that I’ve been drunk/high since last Wednesday, but whatever. This feels like the longest I’ve been able to sustain a good vibe in weeks, so maybe I’m not handling it as well as I could be. Smiles are smiles though & I take them where I can get them. On Friday, I finally caught up to one that I’ve been chasing for a while.

Ladies & Gentleman, we have an adventure on our hands! I need to get from Ryerson, to the CBC building, to my train… in 45 mins. Showtime!—

Manifesto Festival 2010

With all the craziness involved in changing my major, starting up this new site & having to remember to brush my teeth everyday, I totally neglected to post my recap of Manifesto 2010.

The Best Type of k-os

NXNE is a crazy experience if you are a fan of music. Additionally, a free concert featuring one of your favourite artists is always a good time. So obviously I had no choice but to catch K-OS at Yonge-Dundas Square last night. And yes, good times were had.
