Janelle Monáe brought the thunder and lightning down on the Bessborough Gardens last night, and the warm, soulful rain came with it. Here’s our review of Sunday’s Jazz Fest marathon.

Last night the 26th annual Saskatchewan Jazz Fest launched with a spectacular, blue-skyed evening of music by Wil Campa and Michael Franti. Decidedly non-jazzy, yes, but still exhilaratingly energetic — and the nine day long festival has only just begun.

I lost the Sheaf’s Oscar poll to arts editor Aren Bergstrom. As punishment, I agreed to compare Adam Sandler’s recent Razzie champ Jack and Jill with the eternal gong show Bio-Dome, starring Pauly Shore and one of the unfunny Baldwins.
