The Black Eyed… Thieves?

The Black Eyed Peas have made interpolations an art form, a trademark really, but in turn, their secret recipe to the monstrous hit single has become transparent.

Nothing traditional about Roots & Traditional Juno nominees Great Lake Swimmers

The Great Lake Swimmers have a strange habit. The Canadian folk-rockers have made it a tradition to record their albums in nontraditional places. Nearly a decade ago, frontman, Tony Dekker, scouted out an abandoned grain silo to record the band’s haunting 2003 self-titled debut.  Then it was on to a lakeside church in rural southern Ontario, […]

Rich Aucoin’s playlist

To Rich Aucoin, a party and a concert are one in the same. The Halifax native considers confetti, silly-string, and parachutes tour essentials. These items practically take precedence over food and water. If you’ve attended one of Rich’s hootenannies, then you’re quite aware of this. If you haven’t, it’s not too late and you’re in luck too, […]

Cody Callahan’s playlist

Whatever you do, do not call this Texan stud a model. “Modeling is by no means anything I have passion for,” Cody Callahan reveals in our interview. The guy is signed to L.A. Models and has strut his stuff for Australia’s DNA Magazine, but he won’t let that define him. “I consider myself an aspiring actor,” he […]

Johnny Galecki’s playlist

“I’m better at physics than I am at singing,” Johnny Galecki admits. But that didn’t stop the actor from joining his Big Bang Theory co-stars in a musical number at an Alzheimer Association charity event, A Night at Sardi’s.
