CBC details the only African-born performer on the Canadian Live 8 show, rapper K'naan. The article goes into his beef with k-os, who if anyone hadn't noticed has a cameo in Death From Above 1979's new video for Black History Month.

Listen to a live Wolf Parade performance (last mention until the LP comes out I promise) recorded last November for CBC's Just Concerts series in Vancouver featuring two songs off their newly released EP.

I couldn't be any more excited to see Final Fantasy's July 15 show in Windsor at Phog after hearing Owen's show in Toronto sounded fantastic. Download it here while it lasts. Apparently he's debuting an album's worth of new material on top of playing most of 2005 top 20 candidate Has A Good Home.

Noah Feldman in the Times' Magazine on the Church vs. State issue and how to satisfy both ends. Really interesting piece if you have some time on your hands.
