Hotel Zero 1 | Montreal

Mon, 01/07/2013 - 20:31 by vanessa

Looking for somewhere to stay in Montreal? Located in the Quartier des Spectacles, Zero 1 is a new, modern, boutique hotel, and we can assure that you won’t be disappointed. It has 120 rooms, divided into categories such as POP room - perfect for urbanites, or for a little upgrade, try its big sister, the HIP room, both are perfect for “reinventing yourself or achieving your dreams.” Those are some high expectations.

Google Graffiti

Wed, 01/02/2013 - 09:58 by vanessa

Google’s ‘Street View’ may be useful at times, but the argument that it invades our privacy, especially those accidentally captured walking their dog, is forever valid. We prefer the “street ghosts” version by NYC based, Italian multimedia artist Paolo Cirio. Cirio has taken those blurred individuals, blown up their images into life-size posters and placed them around New York, London and Berlin, in exactly the same place they were captured by Google, turning them into graffiti street art.

Martha Wainwright | Come Home To Mama [review]

Sun, 12/30/2012 - 11:12 by vanessa

I always thought the Wainright family would be good fodder for a Canadian sitcom. You have Loudon - the hilarious hippy anti-parent, Rufus - the teenage gay stereotype (see Ricky from My So Called Life), and of course Martha - the busty/headstrong/glue-that-keeps-the–family-together daughter. Every week we could tune in and watch their turbulent love lives unfold, mixed in with a little musical hi-jinx. This shit has Gemini written all over it. Maybe they could also solve crimes?

Charles & Grace Jewellery

Sat, 12/29/2012 - 15:22 by vanessa

CHARLES & GRACE JEWELLERY Love the look of body chain jewellery, but don’t want to spend $20 on a piece of metal that will turn you green, and don’t have the means to drop $2,000 on real gold? We’ve discovered Charles & Grace Jewellery, a Vancouver-based, hand-made jewellery line, focusing on body harnesses, as well as head pieces and more traditional items such as necklaces and rings. Created by self taught Vancouverite Danielle Webster, and made in her home studio, her collection is truly beautiful, covetable, and affordable. The line starts at $28 and goes up to $70.

Eyn Phonecase

Fri, 12/28/2012 - 09:30 by vanessa

Men, forget bulky jeans pockets and women, leave the purse at home, and say “thank you” to the EYN iPhone case. EYN – which, aptly, stands for ‘Everything You Need” - combines your wallet and your phone, as well as including a compact mirror and a secure space for anything from bank cards, I.D., business cards and cash. It does make your iPhone a little bulkier, but hey, it’s lightweight plastic and carries all you need, cutting out all the unnecessary garbage we tend to carry around with us on a day-to-day basis.

Everyday Music Project

Thu, 12/27/2012 - 11:00 by vanessa

We came across the Everyday Music Project just recently and thought that it was definitely worth sharing. Started by Vancouverite, Rod Matheson, the site explores all the music that Rod can find/hear/know over 1000 days, and he is posting one new song by a new artist every single day until he reaches 1000. Some of the videos are shot at live shows and others are shot in random spaces, but there is definitely something for everyone on the site.

Sunshine | "Arnprior" [audio]

Fri, 12/21/2012 - 13:09 by vanessa

Sunshine began playing songs sometime in 2011 in Vancouver, Canada. When they played, the guitars would get a little louder, the vocals a little fuzzier and the drums a bit faster. The five-piece quickly found they were happier when they got together. The songs contradict the fact that their hometown of Vancouver spends the majority of the year covered in a gray cloud canopy. Their songs provide Sunshine.
