From August 1st-4th, British Columbia will be celebrating their 150th birthday and they have gone all out with the festivities!
Some of Canada’s top acts, including Feist and Sarah McLachlan, will be there performing in front of the Parliament buildings in Victoria.
I’ve got some friends who are attending (even took a helicopter to get there!) so I’m hoping for some good pictures (hint, hint).
For more information, visit the BC Festival 150 site!

The song “I Feel it All” is the third released single off of Feist’s album, “The Reminder.” The song is definitely unique and describes a mix of feelings she can’t control. I prefer her song “1234” but I do like this song. Check out the video below!

R&B singer, Estelle, was in Toronto, Ontario this past week for the MLS All-Star game.  It brought out other celebrities including Rachel McAdams and Drew Carey.  Have you ever heard Estelle’s duet “American Boy” with Kanye West.  Click here to watch the video on Hip Hop Roll.  I love the song because it’s really smooth and has a real European influence (she’s French, I believe) but it also has a touch of a Kanye-style hip hop groove.
More pictures after the jump!
