In CASE you didn’t know, Kate has a blog too.

Have you checked Kate’s blog katekillet.com? It’s full of tasty blog snacks w/ musical flavour. She’s the Queen of Music at casiestewart.com who started as an intern in March and is now my PA who helps with all kinds of things. Kate and I met when we both worked for MuchMusic & MTV Canada then I snagged her to work with me! She covers events I can’t attend, joins me to snap pix and helps me accomplish a super-human amount of tasks in a day (like today). She also has good style. Kate picks & posts the weekly tune here each Friday (Weekend tunes). She’s all up on what’s new & cool in music (hence why I hired her) but if you have something so hip not even the hipsters know about it, send her a Tweet.  If you see Kate at an event say HI! You will love her. Toady she introduced me to the Florence cover of Take Care by Drake & Riri. So good. THANK YOU!

Weekend Tune: “212” by Azealia Banks ft. Lazy Jay

Friday! You ready to party? I bet you’re more than ready. I bet you’re like “If only there was a song to kick off this weekend because I’m oh so excited and ready to party…” This is why you need me. This is why we’re friends. Let me help you out okay? Ladies and gentlemen I bring you “212” by Azealia Banks ft Lazy Jay. Warning: This girl looks sweet but she’s got a dirty mouth. Don’t let the braids and Mickey Mouse sweater fool you. It’s no surprise that she topped this year’s NME Cool List, this 20-year-old Harlem, NYC girl can’t help but be the coolest. Did I mention that she can also sing? Yeah. Just listen to her cover of Interpol’s “Slow Hands”. Impressive stuff right? Now if you can please excuse me I’m going to continue playing “212” on repeat because duh. Enjoy! xo Kate

Weekend Tune: “Sister Wife” by Alex Winston

Happy lucky weekend everyone! 11/11/11. Did you make a wish yesterday? Here’s a tune to carry you through the weekend. It’s “Sister Wife” from Michigan girl Alex Winston! Last week Star Slinger stopped by Toronto and played a show at the Horseshoe and the highlight of his set was when he spun this track. Ever since I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. Check out his remix! So good right? Enjoy! xo Kate

Weekend Tune: “Katy On A Mission” by Katy B

Weekend! Weekend! Yay! Weekend! For this week’s weekend tune I’ve pulled out a favourite recent hit of mine. Katy B’s “Katy On A Mission” came out last summer and became a huge UK hit. One year later and I still think it’s a great jam. Perfect for a Saturday night getting ready to go out. Enjoy! xo Kate
