Me and Mom

There is no more important person to any of us than our Mother. I never take this day lightly and neither does Spareparts; so we got together as an office and chose a couple songs that we encourage everyone to sit down and listen to with your mom this Mother's day.

Today is the day: April 16th, 2013. The notion behind A Day Without Shoes is to open our minds a little bit; to not take anything for granted, and really, to enjoy life. So put yourself in someone else's (non-existent) shoes for a bit and join the movement. We are proud to work with great brands like TOMS who do good things.

Focused Space

iPhone cases keep getting better and better; case in point, we're proud to have brought in Focused Space as a new brand in the store. These things aren't just prints on a plastic case, they are made of anything from wool blend to waxed canvas to genuine leather! We come into contact with enough plastic in this world of disposable products, and it's really something special, especially on something we use so much, to have a high quality alternative. At $35 each for the Elk, Wool... [Keep Reading]

Aanalog CD Release

Tomorrow night (Friday), the talented and respectable Mr. Aaron Adair is releasing his soul album Aanalog at The Refinery. I love seeing the refinery used for this kind of thing, and I want to see it happen more often. To be fair this exact kind of thing doesn't really happen that often in general... it's a soul record being released in Saskatoon. If anyone is going to do it, it should be Aaron. He has been ivolved in the Saskatoon music scene for a long time now, knows his... [Keep Reading]
