Happy birthday to me!! This September 3rd my dearest, most favourite example of Canadian rock talent <b>The Sheepdogs </b>released their self-titled 3rd studio album. Thanks for the awesome bday gift boys!</div>

The album proves to be an exciting follow up to <i>Learn and Burn, </i>maintaining and evolving the band's signature retro-rock sound while amping it up a notch in terms of production - a feature that can no doubt be attributed to the fact that Patrick Carney of The Black Keys lent his talents as the album's producer.<br />
<br />
The Sheepdogs have really fulfilled their Rolling Stone cover roles - sounds and melodies on this album seems a bit more deliberate and confident - especially in their inspiration. You can really hear the 70's rock influence shape their style but not overpower it. When you hear the album you know its them and could only be them - that's a pretty cool...<br />
<br />
I'm having flashbacks to the days of voting for them on RollingStone.com...<br />

Held at Toronto's Masonic Temple, the gala opened with an awesome <b>mashup of nominees</b> (seen above) and went on to include live performances by 6 of the 10 shortlisted nominees: <b>Ron Sexsmith, Austra, Timber Timbre, Galaxie, BRAIDS,</b> and <b>Hey, Rosetta!</b><br />
The interesting thing about this gala was that the winner of the prize was actually being decided upon as the event unfolded. Very exciting stuff. Personally I had my money on <b>BRAIDS</b>, a group based out of Montreal by way of Calgary. Their performance was by far the stand-out of the night. While every band was amazing, during this set you could literally hear a pin drop. Everyone's faces were glued to the stage, a few literally gaping in awe of the music (mine included).<br />

</tbody></table>But of course, Arcade Fire was the front-runner and it was no big surprise that they took the award home at the end of the night. As one of the MC's jested while announcing the nominees, the nine bands standing against Arcade Fire were the "nine other dark horses". But this wasn't based on sales or previous awards won, though obvious biases were unavoidable (aahem, Grammy winners..). The Polaris Prize prides itself on being based on a consideration of artistic merit of an entire album. And really, if you've ever listened to <i>The Suburbs</i> from start to finish you can see why it needed to win.<br />

</tbody></table>Though Arcade Fire did not perform, brothers Win and Will Butler graciously accepted the $30,000 check on behalf of the band. When asked what they might do with the money, casually (and half-jokingly) invited every musician in the room to come record in their Montreal studio! Now that's the kind of down-to-earth camaraderie that makes Canadian music great.

Since then I've loved keeping track of their campaigns, and how the label seems to constantly make the right choices when it comes to reflecting their brand through the art of advertising.<br />
<br />
This season Chloe has chosen a much more whimsical visual, with a vintage vibe that flows nicely from the S/S 2011 campaign (also shot by David Sims). Where the spring campaign featured more structure, with a muted eggshell-like quality to the images, the latest photos have adopted a more free-spirited and wild vibe. It's like a <b>liberation</b>... more colour, more movement...

Reminds me a bit of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zero's Home (also got stuck in our heads). Lisa also showed me the band's official music video featuring real footage from the<b> </b><a href="http://www.history.com/videos/jonestown-massacre"><b>Jonestown</b></a><b> </b>massacre of 1978 with the band members edited into scenes quite craftily... see for yourself:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe frameborder="0" height="225" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/26352476?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Pretty creepy, right? And pretty controversial but after reading a statement from director <a href="http://boingboing.net/2011/07/13/cults.html">Isaiah Seret</a> the meaning behind the project is much easier to understand.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now there is a new MTV-worthy version of the music video featuring Emma Roberts and Dave Franco... much more mainstream and shiny... doesn't quite have the same message or sentiment of the original official video (aka I don't like it as much).

<br />
Never was a big fan of the Juno Awards until the past few years... always saw them as a kind of sub-par Grammy's... but Canadian music has stepped up its game in a huge way these past couple of years: Broken Social Scene, City and Colour, Alexisonfire, Metric, Shad, Down With Webster (from my hometown of The Beaches in Toronto I'm proud to say), The Sheepdogs, Hollerado, Feist, Drake, Arcade Fire, and of course The Biebs... that's just off the top of my head. And might I add that more than one of the above were represented and celebrated at the Grammy's this year? Sweet. <br />

</tbody></table>Ok so I'm sounding super gung-ho about Canadian music, but I like that we've actually got a cool scene going on again - Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and The Band style - and after that sad, sad exhibition at the end of the closing ceremony of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics....I mean come on.<br />

Thought you might enjoy it, that is if you didn't already catch it when it aired during the Oscars. Also check out Coppola's upcoming film <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sofia-Coppolas-SOMEWHERE/179574506739?sk=wall">Somewhere</a>, it's a pseudo-autobiographical account of her upbringing with a famous papa...<br />

<br />
My sister gave me a CD this summer by some Canadian band from Saskatchewan called <a href="http://www.thesheepdogs.com/">The Sheepdogs</a>, and being eternally up for anything new by my nation's people I plopped it right on into the car stereo and we listened to it all the way up north to the cottage. They've got this throwback Beatles/Eric Clapton/CSNY thing going on with a contemporary indie twist... they're doing a similar thing as The Black Keys style-wise but more rock n' roll driven where The Black Keys are more bluesy. It's all very good listening. I've come to love them.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpyP8fif4_JFv1yvSplHdz2Aw3SaCUnMEEzYs3epsTYVUL_TN7UBMgMrJZVU0llxbp9V74Pwa3NFEfW-3tZYr8uhAuAI_ZtugvGwO7NULgH5l0jdTrw5qMvmjVwYETmk7a_gOBqvbmUMOE/s1600/TheSheepdogs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpyP8fif4_JFv1yvSplHdz2Aw3SaCUnMEEzYs3epsTYVUL_TN7UBMgMrJZVU0llxbp9V74Pwa3NFEfW-3tZYr8uhAuAI_ZtugvGwO7NULgH5l0jdTrw5qMvmjVwYETmk7a_gOBqvbmUMOE/s400/TheSheepdogs.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
That's why I was so excited to go onto the <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/choosethecover/artists/the-sheepdogs">Rolling Stone</a> site last week and see that they're top runners for a contest the mag is running where people vote for the band who gets to be on the next cover! Not only am I thrilled because they're great, I'm also happy there's some can-con in the mix there (Canadians have been representing this year, thank you Arcade Fire).<br />
<br />
If you get a chance definitely go check them out and rate their music (that's how the voting works-pretty solid system I think).<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">I'm picturing these scruffy-haired dudes reliving that moment from Almost Famous when Stillwater finds out they've made the cover and break into song "...the thrill that'll get you when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone"</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

To Lisa's horror, I tried cutting them myself on the weekend with her not-very-sharp and not-meant-for-cutting-hair scissors...got about half way to the length I was aiming for and then gave up. Lis quickly provided me with the number of her awesome hairdresser in Toronto and said "well now you have to get bangs, cause as of now you just have <i>that</i> going on on top of your head."<br />
<br />
The good thing is, bangs are kind of in this season and there is lots of inspiration to be had. I turn to my favourite fashion icons for some bang pics to take with me to the hairdresser (who will most definitely disapprove of my hack DIY job...)<br />

Stars played two full sets at London Music Hall, with Young Galaxy as the supporting act.<br />

I didn't know what to expect in seeing them perform live. I knew that they hailed from my hometown Toronto and that they recently split from the Arts & Crafts label (home to another great band Broken Social Scene and based in Toronto), and that I loved listening to my vinyl copy of <i>Set Yourself On Fire</i>, but I hadn't heard their newest album and pretty much just went to the concert ready for whatever came at me. Personally I think a band can really solidify a place in a person's heart once you've seen them live - if the experience is good. I was hoping that would be what happened.<br />
<br />
And it did happen. The band has this great energy and spirit, and the audience could feel it. At one point, frontman Torquil Campbell asked everyone to take a step back so there would be more room for dancing. He added that he didn't want to see anyone get crushed at the front of the stage tonight. The audience obeyed so peacefully and I've never seen that happen at a concert before. Very cool.<br />
<br />
At the end of the show Lisa bought a vinyl copy of their newest album <i>The Five Ghosts</i> - which I was happy to discover was white - for my sadly small record collection. Yay my first fun-coloured record!<br />

There's a Hitchcockian feel to the composition and styling of the shots...the images are particularly reminiscent of <i>Vertigo, </i>full of mystery and elegance. Ms. Rubik adds a dimension of feminine attraction to it all. It's all no surprise: the campaign was shot by Karl Lagerfeld.Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04390735732905769308noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189846307705330255.post-82819257158470922502010-09-09T10:31:00.004-04:002010-09-09T10:36:40.935-04:00The Last Summer Concert...Walking to work this morning, shivering in my completely inappropriate-for-the-weather gladiator sandals and tiny cardigan, I realized that alas summer is officially over. I started coming to terms with the idea tuesday night (Sept 7th) when I took my sister to the Molson Amphitheatre to see Vampire Weekend...it was to be my last outdoor concert of the summer (though the Amp has three more outdoor concerts scheduled until the end of September...including KISS tomorrow night, sweet right?) and rightfully so, with the temperature plummeting as it is.<br />
<br />
We went to the venue with our sweaters tucked into our bags...bought two plastic cup-fulls of red wine to warm up, sat in our plastic seats and listened...<br />

</tbody></table>The opening act was a fiery group fronted by a bushy haired and husky voiced maven. Beach House's fearless front woman Victoria Legrand commanded the stage from behind her keyboard, though she admitted the venue was far bigger than the group was used to. Nevertheless, their big and sweeping sound transcended intimidation and won over the audience. There were even a few people brought to their feet...dancing around their seats like flower children on acid (yeah...they may have actually been on acid).<br />
<br />
Then came Vampire Weekend. These boys look like they've never been unhappy in their entire lives...no trace of angst or resentment in their act. Don't get me wrong, they know how to entertain, but its a different kind of vibe than say, Ray Lamontagne or The Arkells or even their openers Beach House. They're less concerned with the depth, and the subsequent poppy fun vibe permeates the whole act. You can hear it in their music too. So it was a good show but not quite the ride I enjoy when I go to a concert. Yah I like to feel happy, sad, angry, and uplifted througout the course of a concert. But I guess if there had been more than just red wine involved my experience would've been different....<br />

So all in all, I'd recommend listening to Vampire Weekend's album <i>Contra</i>...but more than that I'd recommend checking out Beach House. Go to their <a href="http://www.myspace.com/beachhousemusic">myspace</a> or buy their album on iTunes if your feeling like supporting the musician's cause<br />

They are like a hybrid of the droopy boyfriend jean and the classic harem pant, and they are actually quite fun though on some people come dangerously close to looking like clown pants.

I am getting my very own puppy in t-minus 2 weeks!!! (We already have two frou frou whippets who are awesome, but my new puppy will live with me at school and the whole shebang, thus MY OWN PUPPY!!!) I've already picked her out and named her...EDIE. After countless brainstorms and undoubtedly many annoyed friends (I bounced potential names off of everyone like it was my day job) it became crystal clear that Edie was the perfect name because:</span></span><br />

Practically each look in the Autumn 2010/11 lookbook evoked a rather rabid <i>Ooooooh! This one! This one's my fave! I want, I want, I NEEEEEED!! </i>After trying to figure out how I can get my lil' hands on these clothes it gradually dawned on me that I'm just going to have to make a little trip to the <a href="http://www.rubynz.com/default.aspx">Ruby Boutique</a> in Auckland! No biggie, right?<br />

So odd and so beautiful. She has taken a page out of lover Jack White's book, picked up a guitar and made an album. <i>The Ghost Who Walks</i> is spooky, cute, and lovely all at the same time. It has a little bit of country, and a little bit of retro, and a little bit of something that just makes you want to keep listening to it. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Shot in St. Tropez, this short film showcases the Chanel Cruise 2010/2011 collection beautifully, giving life and personality to the clothes. With a slew of models including <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Freja Beha, Jake Davies, Magdalena Frackowiak, Baptiste Giabiconi, Sébastien Jondeau, Karolina Kurkova, Abbey Lee, Leigh Lezark and Heidi Mount (whew!), as well as French actors Elisa Sednaoui, Pascal Greggory, and Jean-Roch, this film is definitely easy on the eyes! </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">On a bad note: It really did make me sad that I woke up this morning in Aurora, Ontario wearing my boyfriend's old T-shirt instead of waking up in St. Tropez nonchalantly wearing some Chanel! Maybe one day? Please? :|</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><br />
