Maybe this will only appeal to Torontolites, but recently, theres been some ‘controversy’ over a review given to a K-OS album by NOW columist. K-OS alleged that the folks at NOW were racists or some junk. For more information about this hissy fit, go here

So I am reading NOW magazine from last week, and another Toronto artist - Danko Jones, decides to chime in the letter. I thought it was pretty funny, most memorable quote being:

“For someone to spit “sellout” who worked with Kevin Drew from Broken Social Scene (the white middle-class version of G-Unit) and Buck 65 is about as funny as a white guy who swears in fear that he has black friends.”

The whole letter is here:
