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  

We interrupt Casie’s wonderful Costa Rica posts for a Movember reminder in the form of a weekend tune brought to you by Toronto’s most charming indie quartet The Elwins. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you “Help A Bro Out (M-O-V-E-M-B-E-R)”! Y’all better be growing some nice mos! You can download the song for free here and donate to their Movember team here! Wanna catch em live? They’re currently touring all over Ontario and hitting up Quebec, check them out. And yes, they do sing about more than mustaches… Enjoy! xo Kate

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! 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

BOO! Did I scare you? It’s Halloween weekend! Ghosts and ghouls are around every corner! So what’s more fitting then a little Monster Mash? I don’t know about you but I’ll be boogying to this non-stop. My costume? Ray AKA Zach Galifianakis from Bored To Death! What are you up to this weekend? Who will you be? Tricks or treats? Happy Halloween! xo Kate

C’est le week-end! That’s French for it’s the weekend! Is everyone having a good fashion week? Are you très chic? It’s been fun but it’s almost at a close – or should I say clothes? Bahaha puns! Sorry couldn’t help myself. Anyways! Here’s a music video for you to enjoy and reminisce about LG Fashion Week to. Strike a pose! It’s Toronto’s own Fritz Helder & The Phantoms with “Making a Scene”! “Making a Scene” – Fritz Helder & The Phantoms from sammy rawal on Vimeo. Fun fact: Both this music video and “Stumble” by Bonjay were directed by Sammy Rawal! Good job Sammy Rawal! Have a great weekend everyone! xo Kate

Yo! Did you know? It’s the weekend yo! And you might be wondering…what’s with all this yo-ing? Blame my pseudo hip-hop persona on Thursday night. Microsoft Advertising invited me to come party at their INNERCITY bash, and guess who performed?! Naughty By Nature y’allllll! So here’s a classic track for you to get down to this weekend… HEEEEEEY! HOOOOO! HEEEEEEY! HOOOO! Need I say more? Enjoy! xo Kate  

Happy long-weekend everyone! Thanksgiving! That’s happening! Turkey am I right? Now before you get stuffed with stuffing, here’s a tune to dance your but off to. It’s “Stumble” by Toronto natives Bonjay! You should know that every time I watch this music video or hear this song I do the same dance as the girl in the video. What I’m saying is that I’ve got some unreal moves. I had no idea just how amazing Bonjay are (or who they were) until last week when I saw them play Steam Whistle Unsigned! Needless to say they started a dance party AND blew my mind. Overall awesomeness. Enjoy! xo Kate  

Happy weekend everyone! As you know I always do my best to bring you not only rad tunes, but also provide some dance move inspiration. Ladies and gents I introduce to you… “Best Friend” by The Drums! Here frontman Jonathan Pierce shows of just how to perfect his subtle (yet effective) dance move approach – staccato accented finger waves and points! And when in doubt? Put your hands on your hips and shimmy your shoulders. Cool sunglasses optional. The Drums play a sold out show at the MOD Club Saturday night! If you’re without a ticket and still wanna check them out live head over to Sonic Boom for their in-store at 7pm! Enjoy! xo Kate

Happy weekend! It’s starting to get chilly eh? Well here’s a tune to warm you up from the Northern Ireland boys of Two Door Cinema Club. I recommend dancing along… So much fun! They play Toronto’s Kool Haus Saturday the 17th (today!) alongside the brilliant Bombay Bicycle Club! I’ve been luck enough to see both bands live before, and I must say that they both are a treat to see live! What are you getting up to this weekend? xo Kate  

Attention Torontonians who like good music and good times!  Tonight Jason Collett and Zeus are playing a free show at Yonge and Dundas Square! The show kicks off around 8pm, so all you festival folk will still be able to TIFF it up after! Oh so perfect yes? Now let’s get to the music video… I’m so excited you guys! Jason Collett is so dreamy. This one time I was having brunch at Aunties and Uncles, and HE WAS ALSO THERE! I could barely focus on my bacon-y breakfast sandwich. Truth. Also? Zeus! Did you spot them jamming out in the background? Did you know that they’re Jason Collett’s backing band? Have you heard their amazing Genesis cover? Have I mentioned how excited I am already? I’m so excited. Happy weekend everyone! Enjoy! xo Kate
