Tuesday, March 31st, 2009


033109-fritz

What’s it like having Nelly Furtado as your boss? The talented guys and gal of Fritz Helder and the Phantoms know, since they’re the first act signed to Nel’s recently launched indie record label Nelstar. The Phantoms’ live shows are notorious for being highly theatrical explosions of dance, fashion and electro-pop, so we’re excited to find out what this partnership will bring.

Group members Fritz and Pastel Supernova spoke to MuchNews to give us the lowdown on what it’s like being on the road with Nelly (they were both dancers on her world tour) and what separates them from their new boss.

Meet An Incredible Illustrator: Kagan McLeod

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

033109-kanye-pride-main

Way back in 1993, a young illustrator named Kagan McLeod sent a photo he’d drawn of the Wu-Tang Clan to MuchMusic in hopes of getting it shown on air. He waited and waited, but no one ever showed it. Fast forward 16 years and Kagan is now an accomplished artist with his own comic book (Infinite Kung Fu) and illustrates for clients like Nike, Nintendo, Entertainment Weekly, National Post and Wired.

It’s long deserved, but finally Kagan’s work was shown on MuchMusic when Devon interviewed him for MuchNewsWeekly.

[Check out Hasket's episode tonight @ 6pm ET, Wednesday @ 7pm ET, or Thursday @ 8pm ET! Here's what the guys had to say about their experience on the show...]

Hey, Hasket here! I’m assuming that you checked out our episode of disBAND on MuchMusic. It was a pretty crazy experience, from the day we found out we got on the show to the day we performed, it was a whirlwind of excitement and new experiences. Basically, the MuchMusic crew came to our jam space, filmed us being ourselves and then we got to perform for the largest crowd of our career… all of Canada! It was a lot of fun and an amazing time.

Second source of dance-y joy comes from these three First Spins that will provide a soundtrack to our first week with a new MuchMore look. Listen to them, enjoy them, deconstruct them, share them, listen to them again, and hey - you can’t even buy one of ‘em for another week. How’s that for a sneak peek…

Family Guy: The Next Generation

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Seth MacFarlane talks about the upcoming episode of Family Guy, wherein the family spends a day with the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Looks like it’ll be a hoot. In other news, I just said the word “hoot”, and therefore am 50-years-old.

Sarah: 2nd Annual Benefit

Friday, March 27th, 2009

032709-fete

One of my father’s favorite science fiction writers, Isaac Asimov, once said, “Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome.” Okay - so the guy wasn’t exactly an optimist.

One of my favorite writers John Lennon once sang, “Life is what happens while you’re busy making plans.” True, very true.

However, my current favourite is one by Irish playwright, poet and author Oscar Wilde who said, “Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.”
