There's plenty to see/hear/do in Prince George this weekend and I couldn't be happier about it. But if you're more of a homebody (which I am six out of seven days of the week), you can still get your fill of arts and culture!
Here's an unorderly list of new-ish albums and not-so-new-but-equally-important movies worth checking out: - Days of Heaven by Steven Lambke (album) - Wino Oracle EP by The Zolas (album) - Currents by Tame Impala (album) - Depression Cherry by Beach House (album) - Shake, Shook, Shaken by The Dø (album) - Frank (movie) - The Kings of Summer (movie) - Mad Max: Fury Road (badass movie) - Je suis Femen (badass feminist documentary)
