Devoting herself to music and the blues just over six and a half years ago, Zelina dove deep into her craft with the single intent of signing to Dine Alone Records and making music on vinyl. She released her Hymns For The Hollow EP on May 31, almost a year to the day after her first full-length, Hidden Dreams. http://www.fsu.ca/interrobang_article.asp?storyID=7080&sectionID=3&issueID=0 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6195406 Sun, 12 Jun 2011 19:55:00 EDT Data Romance are a new act out of the greater Vancouver area that came together out of their love of music - Ajay Bhattacharyya and Amy Kirkpatrick both aimed to pursue different occupations in the field, but are now making a career out of their newfound passion. http://www.fsu.ca/interrobang_article.asp?storyID=7079&sectionID=3&issueID=0 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6194486 Sat, 11 Jun 2011 20:52:00 EDT Nathalia Pizzaro and Rebecca Marie Law Gray are Chains Of Love, quite possibly the hottest new act to come out of BC this year. Since posting Singles on their Bandcamp page, they’ve been drawing a lot of positive attention to their music. http://www.fsu.ca/interrobang_article.asp?storyID=7078&sectionID=3&issueID=0 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6193283 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:11:00 EDT This has been a landmark year for The Schomberg Fair. The explosive trio released their debut record Gospel in 2009 and have been converting audiences ever since, including this year in May at the Schomberg fair - the real annual fair in their hometown for which they’ve named themselves. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=38 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6189301 Tue, 07 Jun 2011 09:30:00 EDT Originally from Ottawa, The Balconies made the move to Toronto roughly a year ago while their music lit a fire under their audiences everywhere they went. Born in Ottawa University, the three-piece consists of lovers Jacquie Neville on guitar and Liam Jaeger on drums, accompanied by brother Stephen Neville on bass. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=37 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6188165 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 10:37:00 EDT A look at a variety of festivals coming to the Forest City this summer. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?storyID=15&sectionID=3&issueID=1&ibangYear=summ11 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6188164 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 10:36:00 EDT The summer is upon us, and with it comes the sun, the sand and, of course, the flicks. Each summer, moviegoers are presented with a smorgasbord of blockbuster films that bring in billions at the box office. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=summ11&storyID=17&sectionID=3&issueID=1 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6188163 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 10:35:00 EDT Unprotected exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays is one of the risk factors for developing skin cancer, which is the most common form of cancer in Canada, according to the Canadian Cancer Society. The risk of skin cancer today is much greater than it was 20 years ago. This risk continues to increase because we are exposed to more ultraviolet (UV) rays as pollution and chemicals thin the protective ozone layer around the Earth. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=summ11&storyID=6&sectionID=1&issueID=1 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6188159 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 10:35:00 EDT Advanced Filmmaking student by day, rip-roarin' ATV racer by weekend, 21-year-old Mark Freeman is a man of many talents and interests. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=summ11&storyID=27&sectionID=4&issueID=1 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6188158 Mon, 06 Jun 2011 10:34:00 EDT We've all been there, juggling texting, blogging, tweeting and every other type of modern communication, but have you ever tried to balance all that on top of multiple relationships? Textuality, the 2011 flick from director Warren P. Sonoda, explores what happens when two people try to navigate love when it becomes inextricably linked to technology. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=36 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6177923 Tue, 31 May 2011 15:25:00 EDT Brad Anderson, who's best known for his work directing The Machinist, brings you a truly terrifying story in the 2010 flick Vanishing on 7th Street. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=35 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6174095 Mon, 30 May 2011 13:51:00 EDT Prey is simply the story of a family of hunters who struggle to maintain their predator status against a group of wild boars who have been biologically altered by exposure to chemicals. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=34 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6174094 Mon, 30 May 2011 13:50:00 EDT Interrobang reporter Bobby Foley takes a look at Exercise Peregrine, a simulation that tested Fanshawe’s emergency response systems. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=33 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6173667 Mon, 30 May 2011 11:37:00 EDT When one thinks of the term "freak," certain images generally come to mind. Bearded ladies. Giants. People with extraneous limbs. Who doesn't come to mind? Megan Fox. Yet sure enough, in the new to home video film Passion Play, Fox portrays a woman with an incredible physical abnormality that results in her becoming a sideshow attraction. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=32 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6163375 Fri, 27 May 2011 11:15:00 EDT Sex. Drugs. Murder. These are the issues that the teenagers in the newly released on home video film Daydream Nation are dealing with. Kat Dennings (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Thor) stars as Caroline Wexler, a complex and intelligent yet troubled young lady who is new in town, and is quick to make an impact. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=31 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6137361 Fri, 20 May 2011 14:53:00 EDT When I first heard about Barry Munday, a comedy featuring a man who has lost his testicles, I was not expecting to be too impressed upon viewing. However, what I envisioned to be a complete gross-out comedy turned out to be anything but. Barry Munday turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=30 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6137359 Fri, 20 May 2011 14:53:00 EDT Interrobang’s Bobby Foley files this report from the preview opening of Fanshawe’s new Centre for Applied Transportation Technology (CATT). http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=29 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6137357 Fri, 20 May 2011 14:52:00 EDT During WW2, the German army had prisoner-of-war camps established across occupied Europe, but only one was within a medieval castle. Colditz castle, situated on a rocky cliff over the Mulde River near Dresden, became host to escaped and high risk POWs. Colditz, a three-hour TV mini series produced in 2005 by Granada Television, explores one man's time spent in in this camp and another's shocking betrayal. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=28 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6095956 Mon, 09 May 2011 09:57:00 EDT If the 2007 Disney film Wild Hogs made you think that bikers are a loveable, cuddly bunch of characters, the new film The Violent Kind will have you thinking twice. Filled with loads of suspense and buckets of blood, The Violent Kind is a genuinely creepy and enjoyable movie. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=27 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6077092 Wed, 04 May 2011 15:18:00 EDT Contrary to popular belief, the most outrageous and unbelievable stories do not come out of Hollywood. They actually come out of Washington. Hollywood does, however, do a fine job of re-telling the tales of misdeeds by crooked politicians and those in their inner circle. This is certainly the case with Casino Jack, a film starring Kevin Spacey which recently made its way to home video. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=26 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6024431 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:34:00 EDT There are certain things you can expect from a Steven Seagal film. These films typically feature titles of four or less short words. They tend to have at least one scene of gratuitous nudity (my favourite type of nudity), plus plenty of kicking ass and taking names. The recently released on home video flick Born to Raise Hell delivers on all fronts. http://www.fsu.ca/news_extra.asp?storyID=25 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=6024430 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:34:00 EDT Tired of $1.29 for a litre of gas? In the next 10 years, gas prices will not be an issue, as researchers at the University of Western Ontario are developing a fuel cell technology to produce hydrogen gas. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2149&sectionID=1&issueID=29 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5989115 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 12:39:00 EDT Campaigns by Transport Canada, Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators and the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration are reminding motorists to stop using handheld devices – such as cell phones – while driving. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2146&sectionID=1&issueID=29 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5989114 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 12:38:00 EDT The snow has finally melted and with that, we find ourselves looking at the best time of year to get fresh, local produce. We are lucky here in Ontario that between May and October we have access to a wide variety of fruits and vegetables grown here. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2179&sectionID=3&issueID=29 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5989113 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 12:38:00 EDT Summer is almost here, and for most of you that means no more school - you're ready to have some fun. Summer is the best time to be single; lots of couples break up right before summer just because they know there is no better time to be unattached. All the possibilities lay in these four months of freedom. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2173&sectionID=3&issueID=29 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5989112 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 12:37:00 EDT When Lauren Campbell writes, she writes honestly and without reservations. Her music glides effortlessly and as her lyrics to Goodbye Daisy suggest, she doesn't plan on staying still for very long. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2163&sectionID=3&issueID=29 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5989111 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 12:37:00 EDT The election is upon us, another opportunity to pretend that we live in a democratic society. Democracy is not the opportunity to vote for one of four old men who look like someone slapped a piece of bologna on their heads, or a loud, big-haired sundress at their heels in the form of the leaderless leader of the Green Party. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2159&sectionID=2&issueID=29 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5989110 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 12:36:00 EDT If you mixed the Super Bowl, World Series and the Stanley Cup playoffs all together, you'd get the biggest show of the year, Wrestlemania 27, which took place April 3 at the Georgia Dome. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2182&sectionID=4&issueID=29 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5989104 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 12:36:00 EDT It's hard to believe that we've already reached the end of the school year. It sounds cliché, but each year definitely goes by faster and faster. I won't keep you guys long since it's crunch time and you're all frantically finishing up last-minute assignments and preparing for exams. But before I sign off, I'd like to leave all of you with some food for thought. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2185&sectionID=4&issueID=29 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5989103 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 12:35:00 EDT You may have seen a few blue hairdos around the college over the past month or so. Many of those people dyed their hair to raise money for the fifth annual Go Blue! Go Bald! Make-A-Wish Foundation campaign. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2108&sectionID=1&issueID=28 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5969757 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:52:00 EDT Every day, disasters occur: tsunamis, earthquakes, genocides, the list goes on. The media concentrates on the most recent events, such as the Japan and Libyan crises happening right now; what the media fails to do is give attention to all problems all the time, but of course that would be nearly impossible. This gives organizations such as STAND: Students Taking Action Now Darfur a reason to exist. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2103&sectionID=1&issueID=28 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5969756 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:51:00 EDT As the dust settles now on the 2011 Juno Awards, millions of Canadians can all look back together on what was easily the most interesting and entertaining televised awards ceremony so far this year. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2119&sectionID=3&issueID=28 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5969755 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:51:00 EDT I am not what one would call politically savvy. Sure, I could watch the news and find out what is going on around me, but I generally prefer to keep my viewing light and fluffy. So I did not think I would be too much of a fan of the film Fair Game, recently released on home video, which details the beginnings of the latest war on Iraq. Within a few minutes however, the film had me hooked, in no small part due to the skills of its two leads, Naomi Watts and Sean Penn. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2123&sectionID=3&issueID=28 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5969754 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:50:00 EDT Living here in London certainly has its pros and cons. Trying to find good, locally produced food and products can definitely be a bit of a hunt, but we're lucky to have the Covent Garden Market. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2137&sectionID=16&issueID=28 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5969753 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:50:00 EDT Finding ways to eat green can be difficult, especially when you're a student, but there are lots of ways to be environmentally aware when choosing what, how, and where you get your food. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2139&sectionID=16&issueID=28 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5969752 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:49:00 EDT Already media commentators are sharing their insight that the coming election is going to be pretty dull. Apparently, there aren't any issues out there that could really grab the attention of most consumers of news. One journalist quoted on the radio worried that there just isn't a strong enough story, a narrative, to hold the attention of Canadians during the election. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2112&sectionID=2&issueID=28 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5969751 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:48:00 EDT On last week's Impact, Mr. Anderson was still extremely ticked off about not getting the title rematch he felt he deserved. He brought his old college math professor, or at least some guy pretending to be him, out to the ring to prove mathematically that he was owed a title shot against Sting. The equations were soon put aside when Anderson asked the professor if he remembered that one hot girl in the class, and then accused the prof of telling the girl that Anderson was gay because he liked her himself. The "perverted professor," as Bischoff called him later, admitted he had said that about Anderson back then, and swiftly received a Mic Check from Anderson for it. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2128&sectionID=4&issueID=28 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5969750 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:48:00 EDT Despite all the excitement surrounding the new downtown arts campus slated to open next year, some staff members are regarding it with caution. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2059&sectionID=1&issueID=27 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5950529 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:25:00 EDT An anti-drinking and driving conference organized by marketing management students had a good message but a disappointing turnout, said Pablo Tovar, who organized the event. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2069&sectionID=1&issueID=27 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5950528 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:24:00 EDT For most people, the job interview is a nerve-wracking experience. You might be stumped by a question, your resume may not be in great shape, you may blurt out something really stupid – it happens to everybody. Throughout all this, you have no idea what your potential employer is thinking. Wouldn't it be nice to see what life is like on the other side of the hiring process? http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2064&sectionID=15&issueID=27 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5950527 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:23:00 EDT Perfecting your handshake, remembering deodorant, making sure you're wearing pants – all things essential to preparing for an interview. But as phone and Skype interviews become more common, a new set of rules comes into play. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2063&sectionID=15&issueID=27 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5950526 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:23:00 EDT I write about random things a lot. I write a lot about random things. And it's because I appreciate random things so much that I love where the name Childish Gambino - the hip-hop persona of actor/comedian Donald Glover - came from. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2080&sectionID=3&issueID=27 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5950517 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:22:00 EDT While Mr. Nice may sound like the title of some light and fluffy Freddy Prinze Jr. romantic comedy, it is actually the tale of one of the most notorious drug smugglers in history. Howard Marks, a.k.a. Mr. Nice, gained great wealth through the smuggling of cannabis, however, as is usually the case, sees his world come crashing down around him. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2087&sectionID=3&issueID=27 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5950516 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:22:00 EDT While tattoos are still perceived as "unprofessional" and a way to obscure one's true self, they are still a beautiful art form and are sometimes used as an escape. They are a way to express one's individuality and creativity; whether it be a memoriam, a portrait or simply a meaningful object or saying, each tattoo has its own sense of beauty and usually enhances the appearance, especially on men. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2092&sectionID=3&issueID=27 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5950514 Fri, 25 Mar 2011 12:21:00 EDT Interval training has been regarded as the new way of exercising for a number of years now.

Surprisingly, for a woman who doesn't follow fashion extensively, there was one fashion rule she always implemented. Whenever I went to a semi-formal, graduation or party, she would always try to have me fish into my closet to wear something I already had. I would always argue about how I can't possibly wear something already in my closet because, well ... it's just not right. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2010&sectionID=3&issueID=25 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5915722 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 13:28:00 EDT Blue Valentine, the 2010 release from director Derek Cianfrance, offers a story told in two parts – beginning and end – with no explanation of just how the two characters got from here to there. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=2003&sectionID=3&issueID=25 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5915721 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 13:27:00 EDT I write about random things a lot. I write a lot about random things. In music, more than in any other media or any other art form that I've found, it's possible to put on airs and fake almost everything in order to gain success. There's one crucial element that can't be faked, however, and that is heart. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=1993&sectionID=3&issueID=25 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5915720 Fri, 11 Mar 2011 13:27:00 EDT With a political upheaval underway in the Middle East, many political commentators are quick to draw a contrast with the democratic malaise that plagues our country. Far from taking to the streets in protest, the majority of Canadians can't even be bothered to show up on Election Day.

How many do you use every day? I use seven, but six of those are wart removers.

I did think it interesting to see what a lot of other people are saying on the matter, so I checked in on a few publications to see what they liked. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=1252&sectionID=3&issueID=17 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5778886 Fri, 07 Jan 2011 13:38:00 EDT Most men forget to add a key component when finalizing their perfect outfit: accessories. Then there are some men who overaccessorize with large, obnoxious chains, rings and wrist bands which just take away from the outfit and create an entire wardrobe crisis. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=1263&sectionID=3&issueID=17 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5778884 Fri, 07 Jan 2011 13:38:00 EDT Late 2010 saw the opening of London's first Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, which is KFC's only real rival in the fried chicken business in Canada.

In that vein here are some tips and strategies to help you fight through the chaos that's going to unfold in the next month. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=1225&sectionID=9&issueID=16 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5707763 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 15:08:00 EDT Between finding the ugliest sweater for the Christmas party, the pressure to find the perfect presents and cooking a delicious holiday meal, it can be tough to get through the holidays without a major meltdown. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=1221&sectionID=9&issueID=16 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5707762 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 15:07:00 EDT November 25 was a night to remember.

Women who think they’re sexy usually overdo it. Let’s face it, who wants a woman who thinks she’s extremely sexy? http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=1032&sectionID=3&issueID=15 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5694220 Fri, 26 Nov 2010 15:52:00 EDT In Knucklehead, WWE superstar The Big Show portrays Walter Krunk, a seven foot tall employee at the St. Thomas Orphanage.

If you like toilet humour, and really, why wouldn’t you, then you’ll be glad to know that Knucklehead is full of bowel movements and belly laughs. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=1030&sectionID=3&issueID=15 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5694219 Fri, 26 Nov 2010 15:52:00 EDT Although your physical health is very important, there are six other components to your health: spiritual, environmental, emotional, mental, occupational and social.

Well, of course it would be, but it's clearly unrealistic. What is real is a high-speed rail traveling at 250km/h that is estimated to take a mere 37 minutes to travel from London to Toronto.

Since his debut album, Postcards & Daydreaming was released in 2005, Mangan has performed hundreds of concerts, carrying on the stereotype of the starving artist. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=369&sectionID=3&issueID=10 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5614032 Fri, 22 Oct 2010 13:51:00 EDT As it turns out, there is an inevitable and quickly approaching zombie apocalypse that we all need to be prepared for.

The 2010 film Let Me In by director Matt Reeves, best known for his shaky-cam epic Cloverfield, gets back to vampiric roots by taking the overly softened genre to a dark, gritty place. While it may seem too soon for a remake of the 2008 Swedish film Let The Right One In, Reeves' film delivers nothing less than its predecessor. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=1011&storyID=327&sectionID=3&issueID=9 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5597960 Fri, 15 Oct 2010 16:09:00 EDT Bison B.C. are a heavy metal band out of Vancouver, currently running down the tour for their third record, Dark Ages, released back in April.

But let's get serious. As we grow up and graduate, eventually - hopefully - getting jobs, it's time to move from being crass to classy. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=summ10&storyID=41&sectionID=3&issueID=2 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5231811 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 15:00:00 EDT It isn’t every day that a music video gets shot here in London, but when our own Rose Cora Perry called for extras to take part in the filming at the end of May, I answered. I spent two days on set with Rose, filming a special “controversial” music video for the first single from her latest release, Off Of The Pages. Before that, though, I met with her here in town at the home of HER Records. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=summ10&storyID=40&sectionID=3&issueID=2 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5209601 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:01:00 EDT Warm weather means no more parkas to coat-check and more time spent on patios than cramped inside. London is well-known for its nightlife, even more so in the summer when the city’s a little quieter and the lines a little shorter. So if you’re looking for a place to chill, to dance or to take your honey out for a meal under the stars – we’ve got you covered. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=summ10&storyID=47&sectionID=3&issueID=2 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5209600 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:01:00 EDT Who is Lido Pimienta, you ask? Well, she sees herself as many roles. “I am a young mother, visual artist, and singer who seeks to inspire others to work collectively,” she said in an email from her tour in Mexico. The young musician hails originally from Columbia but is opportunely ours, splitting her time between living in London and studying in Toronto. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=summ10&storyID=39&sectionID=3&issueID=2 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5209599 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:00:00 EDT You would be very hard-pressed to find someone in Canada that hasn’t heard of Danko Jones, who returned to London to play Call The Office on May 13 to support Below The Belt, their newlyreleased fifth studio LP. A flurry of emails with their publicists landed me an exclusive interview while the band were here in town, so I stopped by CTO to meet them while they set up for the gig. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=summ10&storyID=42&sectionID=3&issueID=2 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5209598 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:00:00 EDT Duane Chapman, a formidable-looking man originally from Colorado, and his equally formidable family run Da Kine Bail Bonds in Honolulu, HI, has been a reality-show superstar since 2004 when Dog the Bounty Hunter premiered on A&E. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=summ10&storyID=37&sectionID=3&issueID=2 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5209596 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 14:59:00 EDT Recently, Addiction Services of Thames Valley launched their newly redesigned website with a press gathering in their offices at Queens Ave. and Clarence St. The new site is the result of work with focus groups and feedback from the community. http://www.fsu.ca/story.asp?ibangYear=summ10&storyID=28&sectionID=1&issueID=2 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=5209595 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 14:59:00 EDT Though it’s used by close to 500 million people around the world, Facebook is arguably the realm of students and young people.
