Author examines white people and the stuff they like By Lindsey Rivait Arts Editor August 6, 2008 White people like all sorts of things—expensive sandwiches, eating brunch, ‘80s nights, and not owning TVs, among a list of 150 things as outlined by Stuff White People Like author, Christian Lander.
 These aren’t just any white people, though. The list consists of stuff left-wing hipsters enjoy. Whether you identify with that class or not, the book and blog it is based off of are worth the read.
Since the book’s release, updates to the blog have been slow, but Lander promises that new content lies ahead once his busy schedule dies down. “The study has not been completed by any means,” he said. >> | Chasing the art of Windsor artist Charles Meanwell By Paul Breschuk Lance Writer August 6, 2008 Midsummer midday Windsor: typically and excruciatingly hot and humid. What better time to conduct art review fieldwork?  Besides, an afternoon of such masochism is fitting in a city where smog is credited for spawning beautiful sunsets. We like the things that hurt us (as much as I hate factories, I love them). Thus, armed with maps, printouts, an eager assistant, and a digital camera, I began my search for the locations that have inspired Windsor-born artist Charles Meanwell. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | The Joys: not fluffy pop By Lindsey Rivait Arts Editor August 6, 2008 The Joys’ name may sound soft, but their music and attitude is anything but. “We enjoy it, which is why we picked it. It’s just about the joys of life, the joys of music, the joys of living. I don’t think that’s poppy,” explained Ken Ross, bassist of The Joys.
 The newly signed band hailing from London, ON features former Popjoys members Sarah Smith on vocals and Mike McKyes on guitar. They were later joined by Glen “Archie” Gamble on drums, and Ken Ross on bass.
The band has had many successes over their short career, including numerous awards from the London Music Awards, the Toronto Independent Music Awards, and the COCA Entertainment Awards. >> |
