What A Croc
"My first collab with @crocs is SOLD OUT already!" Yes, just when you were positively sure that 2018's headlines could not get any weirder, there's this: Post Malone designed a pair of Crocs and they sold out in 10 minutes. The "Better Now" singer now has a hand in the design of your corny lightweight foam footwear. We're bidding on Ebay for a pair, naturally. We absolutely love this on every level.

Look How Happy Dan Mangan Is!
The pride of Smithers, British Columbia is all smiles in response to the great reviews of his brand new record, 'More Or Less'. He posts: "This guy is very happy right now. It’s been a wild ride. Can’t believe the early responses I’m getting from other time zones in my inbox re #MoreOrLess. It’s late and I need to crash, but I’m wired as sh*t. Much love. I put everything I had into this record. xo". Congratulations Dan!

Everybody. Everybody is.
"Who is ready for new #MichaelBuble this month?" asks the Canadian crooner, to which we all reply, "Everybody. Yep, bring on your new album, 'Love', Mr. Buble. We're going to shuffle it with your classic 2011 Christmas album and call it a season."

The Real Avril
Yes, Postie has a line of Crocs and there is an Avril Lavigne death hoax which the Napanee-born international superstar has addressed in an interview with Australia's KISS 1065 radio station, where they asked, "Did you laugh at the rumours that went around where you no longer exist and there's a clone of you?" Avril replied, "Yeah, some people think that I'm not the real me, which is so weird! Like, why would they even think that?" Dunno. We're just offering up "2018" as an answer to everything.

Out Of The Woods
Taylor Swift, is, like, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to instagram it, does it make a sound?" And we're, like, "Whoa, that's deep. My mind's Delicate. I got to Shake It Off so there's Blank Space, eh? Hey Tim McGraw, have you see this?"

Cardi B
This is the visual for her new single, "Money", and we've been examining it long enough to establish that those are opera-length gloves made out of watches. It's time for "Money".

Good Hair, Don't Care
Two of Canadian music's main manes — that of Alessia Cara, who's new single, "Trust My Lonely", is both meaningful and a banger, and Max Kerman, frontman for Hamilton's unstoppable rock troupe Arkells, whose new record 'Rally Cry', is set to storm the rock charts — have convened, likely to discuss Nazirite, hair conditioner, and being awesome.
-
She The Best Music!
Maybe DJ Khaled is pointing at Rihanna and saying, like, "We the best music! Father of Asahd!" and we hope so because we LOVE that BUT maybe he's acutally saying, "I heard Riri turned down the Superbowl Halftime Show!" because that's worth talking about.
-
Bad and Boujee
Migos member Quavo (born with the rad moniker Quavious Keyate Marshall) is cousins with bandmate Offset, who has baby Kulture with Cardi B but he also has superfans who dress as mascots of him so, like, it's pretty cool to be Quavo, we'd say.

Shawn Mendes
The pride of Pickering, Ontario, is making everyone a Leaf fan and there are non-Leaf fans among us who are uncomfortable with this and yet even they cannot deny that they're feeling Leafy after seeing this pic. Is it the Leafs bandwagon or the Mendes bandwagon? Doesn't matter. Plenty of room on both so c'mon up! Why walk alone when you can wagon, folks?

Nick Arkells
We've had many (imaginary) hours of discussion lately aimed at updating and improving how we refer to members of Juno-winning rock band Arkells.
In a search for results-driven solutions, we ideated that many great groups are formed around siblings, like Tegan and Sara, Devo, Heart, the Kinks, the Beach Boys, the Undertones, the Black Crowes, and Oasis. Further, we took into account the great groups that pretend to be siblings: The Ramones and, hey, remember that thing with The White Stripes?
From these deliberations, we created a new naming convention to refer to Arkells band members. We will henceforth (within the constructs of this gallery only, probably) refer to Arkells members Max Kerman, Mike DeAngelis, Nick Dika, Anthony Carone, and Tim Oxford as Max Arkells, Mike Arkells, Nick Arkells, Anthony Arkells, and Tim Arkells.
Further, the need to establish honourifics has been raised. This is a much more difficult area. Shown left is Nick Arkells who is a shoo-in for The Quiet One or Sporty Soft Ball Spice but here we are borrowing from the honorific system established for the Beatles and the Spice Girls, respectively, while an Arkells-native solution remains actively sought because these boys are all that and a basket of popcorn, which you can have for free, BTW, at Odds Bar, a place in Hamilton that some of those Arkells brothers own part of.
Arkells have a new album out now called 'RALLY⚡️CRY'. Let's try to get these nicknames settled ASAP, okay everybody?

Carrie Underwood
There's never been a better time to be a Carrie! "What an amazing day!" posts the accomplished country superstar behind the new hit single "Cry Pretty". "I am overwhelmed and overjoyed at the love I felt at my Hollywood #WalkOfFame Ceremony! Thank you @simoncowell and @bradpaisley for the kind words. It was an honor to have you there! Thanks to all the amazing fans that came out! This is a day I will never forget!" We can well imagine Carrie Underwood earning a star. What is less believable are these "kind words" she attributes to legendarily-bitter, previous 'American Idol' judge Simon Cowell!
-
Colin James
From the scorching blues-funk classic that is "Voodoo Thing" to the deliciously-bitter resolve of "I Just Came Back", this six-time Juno winner has been making us proud of Canadian music since long before that was a cool thing to be proud of. That sentiment is only going to be fuelled with the release of 'Miles to Go', the Regina-born blues rocker's sixteenth (!) album. Even with 15 albums behind him, this Canadian workhorse for the blues keeps on muscling his way through a musical homage to some of the blues’ greatest songwriters with an album largely of covers of works made famous by masters such as Muddy Waters and Blind Willie Johnson. But there are also two original tracks on this record, which was released September 21, so hold on to your pants/seats/pets/what have you and also SIT DOWN while you're at it because HOLY SMOKES HERE COMES AN EXPLOSIVE TALENT COMBINATION ALERT (picture alarm emojis going off everywhere) because this record's new tracks — "I Will Remain" and "40 Light Years" — were co-written by the massive Hamilton-based music talents Tom Wilson and Jesse O’Brien. #whoa!

Beyonce is 37. Jay-Z, why did you get her birthday cake, at, like, Loblaws? Loblaws cakes are GREAT, don't get us wrong, but, like, it's just that ... dude, it's Beyonce. At least get two Loblaws cakes and stack 'em on top of each other or something.

Tim McGraw Sings "Tim McGraw," All Is Well In The World
Country superstar Tim McGraw and his country superstar wife Faith Hill joined country superstar Taylor Swift to sing a song about country superstar Tim McGraw that country superstar Taylor Swift released as her very first single, way before she was even a country superstar. (Her first single was "Tim McGraw" in 2009 you guys. Keep up.) Here's how Swift described the night:
"Nashville, last night was the first time I got to headline that stadium. Every second of the show meant so much to me, and I’m so grateful to @thetimmcgraw and @faithhill for coming out to sing ‘Tim McGraw’ with me. I first came to this city in search of a record deal when I was 11! I’m just as enamored by being here now all these years later. Thanks for an unforgettable night."

Tieneridool Shawn Mendes viert twintigste verjaardag in Amsterdam!
Or in English, that's "Teen idol Shawn Mendes celebrates twentieth birthday in Amsterdam!" He's no longer a teen idol, gang. He's 20, but don't worry, he's already appealing to adults: the Pickering-born international superstar singer/songwriter is the first artist to earn four #1 hits on the Adult Pop Songs chart before the age of 20. This boy's going to be just fine. Also, we're less interested in what he might be laughing at than why he might be laughing, know what we're saying? #Amsterdamnnnn
