King Khan rocks out at school BBQs
Anish “King” Khan — the King Khan in the King Khan and The BBQ Show — has a few heirs apparent to his throne. The Indo-Canadian, Berlin-based regal rocker is a proud pappy to a small crew of ragamuffins. When he speaks about his kids, his voice is bright and energetic — which is good,… Continue reading King Khan rocks out at school BBQs
Spun: Air
French electronic duo Air enthusiastically return with Love 2, their first album since 2007’s Pocket Symphony.

Editorial: Rupert Murdoch hates the Internet
In an interview on Rupert Murdoch-owned Sky News Network in Britain, Murdoch was quoted as saying that news aggregation services were “plagiarists” and that he would remove his print media publications from Google once he erected a pay barrier to prevent the unwashed proles from accessing his site. Outside of the more amusingly cantankerous aspects… Continue reading Editorial: Rupert Murdoch hates the Internet
Amreeka details the trials and tribulations of a post-9/11 world
Amreeka is a film about the beauty and the pains of the Arab experience in a post-September 11 world. The film, Palestinian-American filmmaker Cherien Dabis’ debut effort, is a strict by-the-numbers drama about a Palestinian immigrant moving to a still emotionally raw post-9/11 Chicago suburb, alternating between middling melodrama and good-natured comedy. After winning the… Continue reading Amreeka details the trials and tribulations of a post-9/11 world

Calgary actors air out their Dirty Laundry
On Monday nights, Calgary theatres go dark to allow the actors to rest up for the week of hard work ahead. But since 1999, some brave actors have used these breaks to craft engaging and entertaining serialized improvisational theatre. “It gives us a chance to just play,” says Karen Johnson-Diamond, cofounding producer of Dirty Laundry.… Continue reading Calgary actors air out their Dirty Laundry
Spun: Jonesin’
When it comes to boy-girl pop duos, there’s a dangerous line between annoyingly twee and perfectly poppy. Jonesin’ straddles that line throughout their album Hi, We’re Jonesin’ and never quite crosses into either territory. The spacey “Too Stoned to Screw” offers a hazy swirling soundscape, while “Bummer Summer” is a beach song for the sad-sack… Continue reading Spun: Jonesin’
Not Paranormal at all
To call Paranormal Activity the most frightening movie in recent years is more an attack on the modern horror genre than a compliment to the film. Though it has been hyped to be one of the scariest films of the decade, as a theatrical experience it sadly lacks anything approaching thrills. With the recent shift… Continue reading Not Paranormal at all
