Weekend Tune: “Kaputt” by Destroyer

Because: the Destroyer album of the same name is nominated for this year’s Polaris Music Prize. it’s this Vancouver band’s 9th album. singer-songwriter frontman Dan Bejar describes Destroyer’s style as “European Blues”! it’s not just sweaty girls, saxophones and leotards. It’s much more. Just wait until the vocals kick in… Enjoy! xo Kate * Kate writes the Weekend Tune and I was like WTF when I watched this video at first! I wonder what you think about the song/v ideo??? She is up on the music. Go ahead and submit your Weekend Tunage if you feel like sharing. Always love pleasing the ears, head, body. <3 Casie P.S. Destroyer, The Artist, has that beard & long hair I love.

Art Battle 17 at The Great Hall: Paint by Numbers

And by numbers… I mean Pemberton & Plashkes, the creators of Art Battle. Their numbered shirts equal seventeen. Eight is my fav number, I have one tattooed on my right arm. If you have never been to Art Battle, follow them on Twitter here and stay tuned for the next one. It’s one of the most awesome things that happens in this wonderful city. Competitive painting for the WIN. Paint pr0n. THIS is how you do event shirts. These babies were all up for grabs. Painted that night, silent auction. I really liked this one. Bid was $150, I didn’t go for it. Jack will always be in our thoughts. The ones without bids are DESTROYED. See video here. Hello new friend blog fan, Twitter peep. (Please tell me your Twitter if/when you see this!) Queen West art hipster types in full force. You can tell there are deep thoughts going on here and I like it. Smart, arty & handsome. Winning combo 😉 Painting in the final round. Counting up the votes. Simon & the winner of the Art Battle 17 David McKenzie. David & his is final painting. “Let’s destroy some paintings” Paint on the clothes is a good style I reckon.   Maybe some for me next time? I like to paint too. Some serious talent at these things. I know for sure you will enjoy yourself. I’ll keep you posted on the next one.

Sapporo Sound Den meets Toronto at Cheval

This week I was treated like (social) royalty by the Sapporo team. Thank you. Arrived with my crew to be walked in right away and set up with a booth fully stocked with Goose and buckets of beer. Stay classy. Spice up your beer drinking by using a champagne glass. Party tips from a pro. Black fortune cookies. My fortune. I wore a turban for part of the night. Not a REAL turban like my friend here, mine was all in the name of style, from the church of Forever 21. haha (First thing I ever bought there. I’d not been to one before last weekend!) Jacks, my darling senior publicist babe for Global Television. ILU. Team awesome. Been a fan of the Sapporo for years so was a pleasure to meet the team. I’ll make sure these vouchers go to good use. Let’s hang out again some time 🙂
