Ryan Walter Wagner’s photos have been featured in such major publications as Ad Busters, the Georgia Straight, and the Vancouver Sun.
Ben Jacques’ artwork is derived from a mix of 80s cartoons, 60s psychedelic posters and Steven Spielberg films. It will leave the taste of acid in your mouth for weeks.
Steve Louie is a Vancouver based photographer whose mission is to document the local independent and underground music scene.
Myths are an electro dance music duo who elevate their performances with a combination of face paint, percussive vocals, and strobe lights to leave you doused in sweat wondering if what just happened was real.

Drinkin’ Purp / Spitin’ Purp
Winnie is drinking purple to support gay suicides today and loves you the same no matter where you stick your peen / vg.
Today’s Gripe. I was listening to the radio because the stupid cable for my ipod broke. Whaaat is this “G6″ shit Ke$ha is singing about?
Sometimes the stuff they play on the radio makes me feel so bad inside / suicidal. Maybe Ke$ha is for gay suicides?
I goggled “G6″ and determined it’s a type of Pontiac which supports my theory that Ke$ha is a robot.
Have you seen those stickers with “that Calvin prankster” people put on their cars as a way of telling you they are a douchebag?? They should make one of Calvin peeing on Ke$ha. It would probably implode.
Now is the time to buy btw!!! max your credit now!

New video from East Vancouver’s Shimmering Stars for “I’m Gonna Try”. All shot around my fave block in town.
They played their first ever Vancouver show at No More Strangers and were so good, we rushed to rebook them.
They play Nov 19th at the Cobalt with Carnivores from Atlanta and my other fave new Vancouver band, Victoria transplants, My Friend Wallis.

Sveeeden
Familjen are from Sveeeden, the same place where they make delicious chocolates and excellent hockey players. All of Winnie’s favourite bands are from Sweeden (Ace of Base, Cardigans, Fever Ray ect).
FUN FACT. Sweeden is the third largest exporter of music in the world, behind the US and the UK+Swedes really like to read newspapers.
Check out the new Familjen album, “Mänskligheten” it’s totally den bästa.
