Week 43: White Hinterland (Kairos)Music has always been a driving force and medium in which women can exhibit just how powerful the female mind truly is. There are so many female musicians I admire: Emily Haines (Metric), Emiliana Torrini, Inara George (The Bird and the Bee), Robyn, Mette Lindberg (The Asteroids Galaxy Tour) and so many others.

White Hinterland is the stage name of Casey Dienel, a Massachusetts native who now resides in Portland, OR. Dienel entered the ...Music for the Musically Challenged13 January 2012

Supercrawl in Hamilton, ON (September 10, 20 ..While the Toronto International Film Festival occupied most of my time during the period of September 8 to the 18, I'd consciously took Septemeber 10 off in order to check out a arts and music festival called Supercrawl in Hamilton, ON.

It seems extremely likely that if You Forgot It In People had never seen the light of day, The Paint Movement wouldn't have either. Everything about it, from the vocals to the music to the production, screams ...i (heart) music7 September 2011
