Autechre don’t care what you think. They’ve been doing this for years. With 11 albums and over 19 singles and EP’s under their belt, Mancunian duo Rob Brown and Sean Booth have continuously and relentlessly forced their heavy-duty assault on the public, making you feel violated like that first evening you stayed back after school. […]
The reply was an assertive, unanimous “yes”. Lighters raised and joints low to the floor, Wu-Tang Clanners answered Method Man with a giant cloud of hip hop haze. Although this question was asked once by the man on stage, it was answered many, many, many times throughout the night. The Commodore Ballroom was swallowed in […]
After watching the Canucks productive second period on Hockey Night in Canada and having pre-drinks with friends down Hastings at the Warehouse, I arrived at the Rickshaw just after nine. There were good-sized lines for the front door and to order drinks, therefore I literally saw the last two minutes of the Ford Pier and […]
As a global community, we tend to reserve a special place in our hearts for anyone who has the honour of taking a chart-topping position away from Justin Bieber.

The first words on the menu announce, “All our dishes are intended for sharing and will be served as they are ready, please enjoy!” So, what does an English major like myself make of such a decree? Well I guess, right off the bat, the Oakwood pitches three themes: 1) a communal and social atmosphere, […]
Heather Redfern, Executive Director of The Cultch described March 5th 2013 as, “The most exciting night of the year”. A brimmingly-full house filed into the East Vancouver cultural centre to witness the world premier of Rio Tinto Alcan’s no-strings-attached, 60 thousand dollar award-supported, Extraction (Theatre Conspiracy).
