Been having a heck of a time staying top of new music this year, so I started a newsletter.

It's called Kool Kids Music Club.

Musings, music recos and plenty of typos can be yours, all for the price of an email address.

Happy @taylorswift13 in #Toronto day to all those who celebrate.

Talked to @mennovers from @hollerado and @royalmtn about his new solo album, Hollerado reunion and some crazy times in LA. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Exclaim! @exclaimdotca]

"Even if it's embarrassingly bad, I'll put that out. What's it gonna do, ruin our career?"

We talked to @mennovers about possibly releasing @hollerado's long-lost debut and being pulled back into the project thanks to @TokyoPoliceClub

"The show has a youthful energy that, after a while, would start to dwindle. I want the show to be remembered as everyone giving it [their all]."

We spoke to @richaucoin about hanging up his parachute and his upcoming record 'Synthetic: Season 3'

[Ian Gormely @IanGormely]

I talked to @richaucoin about his new album, Synthetic Season 3 - out November 20 - and the final "Parachute Tour" which is happening rn.

See below for a sample of what we're all going to miss when it's gone and ead all about it @exclaimdotca https://t.co/XxdveGAOur

[Ian Gormely @IanGormely]

Being under the parachute with @richaucoin and dozens of strangers was a beautiful and inspiring highlight of the past two years.

The Tubi Van is a 1998 Plymouth Voyager with the TV/VCR/DVD combo upgrade, 4 storage tubs of VHS tapes, and a binder full of bootleg DVDs.

sci-fi movies assume major investments in public transit infrastructure that are just not realistic.

[Natalie Fertig @natsfert]

Hi quick media literacy on breaking news — maybe it’s helpful rn.

If you see a variances in coverage, there are many reasons for that.

1) outlets have dif. standards for how to address speculation on crime scenes (ie what to say ocurred before law enforcement confirm) 🧵

[nicole boyce @nicolewboyce]

oh god. Biden just confused Friends with Benefits (2011) with No Strings Attached (2011)

[Ian Gormely @IanGormely]

For the @TorontoStar I wrote about dwindling cultural hubs and what that means for the Toronto: basically a lot less weird and fun stuff https://t.co/j6CzydWxv9

[Zach Schonfeld @zzzzaaaacccchhh]

Stereogum commenter makes a good point

[Ian Gormely @IanGormely]

My favourite part of this interview is when his publicist encourages him to have a snack

[David Friend @dfriend]

"I'm not a f**king Ken doll."

I'd heard Deadmau5 was tough to interview. But I did not expect what happened last week when we sat down to reflect on 25 years in music and his CMW Hall of Fame induction.
