By Leah Collins (CHARTattack) June 26, 2006 3:00 pm
Sun-worshipping, pot-smoking and stoner rocking on Toronto's Olympic Island: sounds like hippie heaven. So why were 10,000 hipsters there instead? They've been coming to the island for three years now, beckoned out of their usual smoky dives to shoegaze in the sun. Maybe for one day of the year, nature-loving is irresistibly ironic. But it'...

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) May 2, 2011 3:54 pm
Dinosaur Jr. frontman J Mascis' video for "Not Enough," a tune that's on his new Several Shades Of Why solo album, looks like a colouring book on acid.

So it's interesting to hear him strip down to an acoustic on "Not Enough," a tune that'll appear on his upcoming Several Shades Of Why solo album. The song is...

J Mascis Moonlights With Witch

in
By Dan "The Mouth" Lovranski (CHARTattack) February 19, 2009 2:17 pm
Although Witch bandmates J Mascis and Dave Sweetapple have known each other for many years, their friendship isn't quite as legendary as the press releases make it out to be. "If you look up the Witch bio online, it's always prefaced with 'longtime friends,'" says Sweetapple with a laugh. "When I first moved to Boston in '91, I...
