Beginning with a haunting, circular acoustic guitar riff and a delicate progression that feels like a quiet storm brewing, “I'd Love to Change the World" by the British blues-rock band Ten Years After is still worth listening to today.

Rock music has long served as an amplifier for societal discontent. From the anti-establishment anthems of the punk explosion to the psychedelic counterculture of the 1960s, artists have consistently used amplification and distortion to question authority. 

The other day I came across a live stream of a man sitting at his desk in a fluorescently lit room; open concept, high ceilings, diligently working in his home office next to his living room. His computer screen is mirrored, connected to the live stream. He’s in an anonymous chat room — Omegle, Kik or one of the tens of other websites that now exist to anonymously chat. His language is explicit — sexual, actually. He’s pretending to be a teenage girl, and the creep on the other side is falling for it.

On Thursday, Oct. 1, Phoebe Bridgers played the first of two sold-out nights in Toronto as part of her Lost Tour, with Alex G as the opening act. The tour follows the release of Bridgers’ third LP Lost Weekend, which explores the recent and unexpected loss of her father and all the feelings that came with it.

Art can be interpreted in many ways depending on the viewer and what shapes their perspectives.

It is that time of the year once again: Tuesday nights are exciting, and my friends and I are hosting our annual girls' night dedicated to Dancing with the Stars. Each year, our favourite thing to do is guess which of the 16 couples will take home the Mirrorball trophy. 

On Sept. 14, Macklemore, the artist behind songs like “Thrift Shop“ and “Same Love,” released a statement on Instagram revealing that he was removed from Ed Sheeran’s Loop tour for expressing his pro-Palestine views on stage. Since the statement’s release, every single artist set to perform with Ed Sheeran on this tour has dropped out — including his own band.

Sometimes, a new face starts appearing everywhere online. At first, you barely notice. Then suddenly, they are in interviews, on your friends’ Instagram stories and playing in the background of videos you never asked to watch. Slayyyter has become that artist for me. Her latest album, WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA, has been sitting at the centre of that growing attention. Though I may be late to the party — WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA came out in March — it seems that with this artist, showing up late is better than never showing up at all.
