Ainslie Henderson has forever been a favorite of mine. The better looking version of Rivers Cuomo, Henderson first jumped into the public sphere with Fame Academy in 2002 [like American Idol, but Brit-ish and they live together! Oh the scandal!]. Skip the Fame Academy stuff and listen to his passionate Ainslie-ness here.

Even though it's been about eight months since Lady GaGa released Let's Dance to the North American side of the hemisphere, the femme Radio GaGa has just reached Number One in the UK Charts, a victory that the Brits are saying "came out of nowhere" [just like this quote...]
To celebrate, we give you the overplayed. Go GaGa, go!





HAPPY WEDNESDAYS TO YOU WITH LOVE FROM TATTOO.

If you were anywhere by a television this Christmas, no doubt the Canada Plays PSP commercial was driving you crazy with mad beat goodness. The track is "Sleepyhead", the band is Passion Pit, and great news for everyone - they're coming to Toronto!

AIDS Wolf is playing tomorrow night [January 8th] at The Boat.
If you don't go for their music, at least go for their philosophies... an excerpt from The 9 Principles of AIDS Wolf, if you will:

"1: Maintain a Daily Ritual. Music is like breathing, eating, walking, sleeping, drinking, pissing, and, with any luck, f**king. One must have something to play, create, and examine everyday; there are simply no vacations. Music must be a physical need and a mental compulsion in each moment of existence."
