  • Saskatoon bands nominated for Sirius Independent Canadian Music Awards

    By March 17, 2012

    The nominations have been announced for Sirius XM’s 12th Annual Independent Music Awards and several Saskatoon bands are nominated. The awards celebrate the best in the Canadian and International independent music scene. This gives artists and bands that normally don’t get quite as much recognition a time to shine. However, by independent, they mean artists like Feist and bands like Mother Mother, so do not expect your favorite obscure Canadian folk punk band to make an appearance.

  • Spring fashion on and off the runway

    By March 17, 2012

    Fashion is innovation — therefore, it is constantly changing, evolving and often reinventing itself. A style that is popular one day and gone the next is not lost forever. Something you thought was lost can re-emerge on a runway and come back stronger than before.

    This spring season is really no exception. For the 2012 spring season you can see all the oldies that you may have once loved and forgotten return and reign.

  • Wii owners, rejoice! Xenoblade Chronicles finally coming to North America

    By March 17, 2012

    It has been a long time since the Wii received a good game. Since its release, the Wii has generally been the despair of Nintendo fans as the gaming giant turned its attention to the casual gamer market.

    Nintendo, however, is finally getting its act together and releasing the highly-anticipated Xenoblade Chronicles. Originally, North America was not to get the game due to the apparent lack of desire in the North American market for Japanese RPGs. However, when an interview revealing this decision was released, fans took action and a fan campaign to get Xenoblade and several other JRPGs released here was established. Happily, thanks to demand and high sales in Europe, gamers can get their hands on Xenoblade on April 6.

    By March 17, 2012

    March is a nerve-wracking time to be in university. It’s also a time we start thinking about the summer, jobs and real life. How unpleasant. It makes me wonder, if I can’t get a job after university, is there a point to being here? Is university too removed from real life? Is it irrelevant?

    By March 16, 2012

    Who called who first? And why didn’t they call back?

    Lately, the relationship between the student lobby and the Quebec provincial government sounds like a dating relationship gone sour, as both sides failed to meet in the last few months for consultations leading up to the budget, each blaming the other.
