Amy Winehouse’s passing left soul music all that much poorer. Beyond frustrating when the good ones go too soon.

As such I’m happy Artists like Andra Day are helping to fill that vacuum. Classic song…soulful, destined to adopted as an empowering anthem: its fate is sealed. Before it gets burdened with the emotional baggage of a sloppy cause it’s still pristine and ready for enjoyment.

Slapped onto the back of the Gladstone Hotel is an inspiring message from Shepard Fairey:

Saturday “morning” ritual: I go around collecting all my errant tea mugs. When I tea I think when I think I wander aimlessly.

(Note: This was written before Gary Taxali visited My Summer Lair)

Two of the best words in the English language: Road Trip!

My friend and I hoped into my laser blue Dart and road tripped to…Cambridge, Ontario. Ours was a cultural mission, our prime directive to enjoy a day trip into the fabulous world of Gary Taxali and later in Stratford a play.

I know…a gallery exhibition and a Stratford play all in one arty day…classy! (Not to worry I kept the class at bay with my Spider-Man seatbelt belt).

Stepping into the Idea Exchange | Design at Riverside gallery is like a fantastical Disney meets Warhol trip into Gary Taxali’s head. Wow. So cool.

Duran Duran are undergoing a subtle and strong reassurance. Their 2011 album All You Need Is Now is strong and courageous in the sonic risks the band took…Paper Gods (the single) continues building on that risk.

It’s like…the band is hungry. Hunger is infectious.
