Vancouver band Mother Mother celebrates 20 years with new album Nostalgia
Mother Mother is celebrating 20 years as a band with the release of its 10th album. Titled Nostalgia, the Vancouver quintet's latest release lives up to its name, through the inclusion of material dating back to the band's beginnings, as well as new songs looking toward its future. There have been ups and downs for vocalist and lead guitarist Ryan Guldemond, vocalist and synthesizer player Molly Guldemond, vocalist and keyboardist Jasmin Parkin, drummer Ali Siadat and bassist Mike Young. The band was in a low in 2021 when its 2008 single, Hayloft I, went viral on Tik Tok. Then things took off. Get top headlines and gossip from the world of celebrity and entertainment.

Suddenly finding itself in the midst of a massive career resurgence with media outlets such as Rolling Stone describing the song as the 'niche band's breakout,' the group followed the old track with a sequel, titled Hayloft II. With expanded global interest in its music and more touring opportunities, Mother Mother cemented its new fan connection with sharp new songs such as I Got Love, with its accompanying video comprised of submitted clips. That track was included on 2021's Inside. Grief Chapter followed in 2024. This February, the song Make Believe previewed the arrival of Nostalgia. The song captures the group's mix of driving grooves and angular, off-kilter harmony choruses that have been a characteristic of the band since the days when it had its first residency at The Blarney Stone in Gastown in 2005. 'In creating Nostalgia, our goal was to embody a childlike creativity, which often becomes elusive as we age and gather too many tricks,' said Ryan Guldemond. 'We evaluated every creative choice by its emotional impact — whether that was a lyric, a reverb trail, or an EQ curve. If something didn't evoke a strong emotional reaction, we let it go.' One song on the album that has always evoked a reaction, dating back to Mother Mother 's earliest days, is Finger. Long a favourite in live performances, the cheeky challenge to society's double standards about what is/isn't appropriate placement of everything from digits to dinner choices, was always seen as a bit too much for including on a record. It is the oldest material on Nostalgia, but still sounds fresh. 'Ali has been bugging me to produce Finger for 20 years, and I always thought it was a little too audacious,' he said. 'But the theme of this record is to celebrate 20 years and that includes that instinct that only young people possess when they first discover a passion and craft, and the absurd things that can be a byproduct of that discovery. Finger fits that brief and, I think, it could become a new anthem for our fan base.' Daydreaming can be a powerful drug that can produce valuable insights into very real things in life. A case in point is the opening song Love to Death, which dates back to 2008's O My Heart sessions. A popular bootleg live version has been cropping up online for the past decade, so it made sense to get a legit version on record. 'I think 20 years is a weird number where your adult life has been going on for that long,' he said. 'During that time, we have had a lot more than 20 opportunities to break up, and songs like Love to Death are reminders of that historic continuity. 'It seemed a time to celebrate it with a positive spin.' A song that's certain to become a winner in concert is On And On (Song for Jasmin), an upbeat banger expressing the deeply held love Guldemond has for his bandmate Parkin. A girl, he notes in a lyric, who 'I want to play guitar for' who helps him find a new apartment, among other things. 'Jasmin is my very best friend in the world, beginning with us being a couple 18 years ago, and moving through breaking up and staying bandmates, to this very deep friendship that has refined and reinforced itself over the years,' he said. 'In 2020, her dad died and I was the one who had to deliver that unexpected, sad news. That was very bonding and, in the grip of that grief and connection, I wrote this song as an ode to my friend, as an attempt to encapsulate her incredible personality.' As time has passed, Mother Mother has become all the more adept at sharing the lead vocals between its three singers, seamlessly transitioning into the band's signature harmonies. Blending them on the floating, psychedelic folk of Station Wagon, to the call-and-response grooves of Me & You, Nostalgia is a showcase for vocals. 'Mother Mother, at its best, is three personalities shining through vocally. And there have been times where that may have been inhibited for certain reasons,' he said 'Really listening back over nine albums, when we were our best and most authentic, were when the vocals were at their most democratic and colourful. So, we honed in on that with songs like Better Than Me, which is Jasmine's lead, or the closing song, To Regret, which is Molly's lead.' For Ryan and his sister Molly, music-making began growing up on Quadra Island,. That upbringing has direct influence on Nostalgia, which has many acoustic-forward songs. More than half of the new record could be strummed around a beachside campfire. 'There is a certain, unfortunate bastardization in the studio that happens with beautiful songs born on acoustic guitars,' he said. 'This time, we wanted to keep that intact, as the heart of a song so often begins on an acoustic guitar or a piano. We have been doing a campfire moment in the live set, which people celebrate.' The band is touring Europe and debuting in Istanbul, Turkey, over the summer. Canadian dates are likely in 2026. When you have logged 20 years, 10 albums and a load of hit singles along the timeline, selecting a set list becomes a challenge for all musicians. For Mother Mother, it's no different. 'It's an infuriating ordeal that takes a long time to put together,' admits Guldemond. 'It's obvious on paper what you need to do over 90 minutes — hits, new songs, deep cuts, campfire moment, a Molly song, a Jasmine song, etc. — but I've been working on it for a few months now. Obviously, Hayloft I and II are going to be there.' Here are the top 10 Mother Mother songs, according to . 1. Hayloft 1 2. Bit By Bit 3. The Stand 4. O My Heart 5. Wrecking Ball 6. Ghosting 7. Verbatim 8. Burning Pile 9. Body of Years 10. Hayloft II sderdeyn@

Which Roti Is Best For You? Learn How To Tailor Grains To Your Health Needs
In an age of superfoods and supplements, many of us overlook the simplest dietary tweak: rotating our grains based on what our bodies truly need. Nutritionist Leema Mahajan recently shared a thoughtful post on Instagram that has inspired many to revisit their flour jar with new respect. Her message is clear - our ancestors had it right. Choosing the right grain can be a subtle but powerful act of self-care. Let's explore how different traditional Indian grains - long valued in Ayurveda - can support your health. How to choose flour for roti as per your health condition: Barley (Jau) Best for: Blood sugar management & heart health With its low glycaemic load and rich beta-glucan content, barley is excellent for stabilising blood sugar and lowering cholesterol. If you're diabetic or managing high cholesterol, a barley roti a few times a week can make a noticeable difference. Samak (Barnyard Millet) Best for: Summer detox & sensitive digestion Light, cooling, and easy to digest, samak is perfect for those muggy summer months when heavy grains feel overwhelming. If you experience bloating, nausea, or loss of appetite in the heat - or are dealing with low iron - samak is a gentle companion. Bajra (Pearl Millet) Best for: Winter warmth & iron deficiency Thick, earthy, and deeply satisfying, bajra roti is a winter staple in many Indian homes. Rich in iron and deeply warming, it's ideal for those with anaemia or a sluggish metabolism during colder months. here are some tips to make perfect bajra roti. Amaranth (Rajgira) Best for: Thyroid support & gluten sensitivity Naturally gluten-free and a powerhouse of selenium and protein, amaranth is ideal for those managing thyroid conditions or hormone imbalances. Its nutty flavour also adds variety to your roti routine. Ragi (Finger Millet) Ragi roti is a nutritious addition to your diet. Best for: Bone health & growing children Packed with natural calcium and vitamin D, ragi is a must for children, post-menopausal women, and older adults. A soft ragi roti with ghee and jaggery? Both delicious and functional. Jowar (Sorghum) Best for: Digestive issues & constipation Rich in insoluble fibre, jowar helps keep your digestive system running smoothly. If you often feel constipated or sluggish after meals, jowar rotis can bring welcome relief. Here's how to make soft jowar roti. Khapli (Emmer Wheat) Best for: Wheat sensitivity & gut health Khapli is an ancient, low-gluten wheat variety that's far gentler than modern wheat. If regular atta leaves you bloated or heavy, switch to khapli - it could transform your relationship with rotis. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Leema Mahajan | Nutritionist & Weight loss specialist (@leemamahajan) Swapping your roti grain isn't a diet trend, it's a return to eating with intention. Listen to your body, observe the seasons, and trust that your kitchen can be your pharmacy. Sometimes, the simplest meals are the most healing.

'Anti-cheating bra' is real invention — but you can't really buy it
Since 2024, a video has circulated online allegedly showing an "anti-cheating bra" invented in Japan. The bra is said to remain locked unless it detects a registered fingerprint, supposedly that of the wearer's partner. "An inventor in Japan has created a bra against Touch ID cheating. It only opens when your boyfriend's fingerprint is recognized," read one Instagram post (archived) featuring the video, which had amassed more than 135,000 likes as of this writing. The footage shows a hand demonstrating how the bra clasp stays locked until a fingerprint is scanned on a device attached to the garment, after which the clasp pops open. Versions of the claim appeared elsewhere on Instagram and on X, YouTube, Facebook, Threads and TikTok. In short, the video is real; however, it does not show a commercially available product. The so-called "fingerprint recognition bra" was created by a Japanese self-described "delusional inventor" known for building humorous or fantastical gadgets. He labeled the bra a "fantasy invention" and confirmed it was a one-off prototype intended as a playful concept rather than a sellable device. The video originated from a July 19, 2024, X post by a Japanese creator who goes by the name ZAWAWORKS (@zawa_works). The caption (originally written in Japanese) reads: "I invented a 'fingerprint recognition bra' to prevent cheating! Now only your boyfriend can remove your bra!" "Please give it as a gift to your girlfriend or wife," the original poster responded to a user who asked: "Is it for men?" (X user @zawa_works) In another post, he wrote, "It's M5Stack! Fingerprint recognition kit available," referencing the hardware he used to create the mechanism. (X user @zawa_works) ZAWAWORKS also shared the in-question video on his website, YouTube channel, and TikTok account. The YouTube caption reads: "A bra that unhooks with fingerprint authentication. Only your boyfriend can unhook it!" He confirmed that the device actually functions and that he used an M5Stack "Hat Finger" device that recognizes the fingerprint with a "little computer." ( ZAWAWORKS confirmed via email that the bra was a one-off prototype. "I create funny contents and post the videos on X and YouTube every Friday, to make people laugh," he explained. ZAWAWORKS is a self-described "delusional inventor" (妄想発明家) who creates humorous or provocative gadgets that often play on adolescent or absurd fantasies. He regularly posts unconventional inventions and participates in comedic shows and exhibitions in Japan. According to his website, he "invents devices that make adolescent fantasies come true." His real name is 相澤 裕貴（あいざわ ゆうき), and his site notes that he exhibits his inventions at contests and comedy events in Osaka. He said via email that his work has been featured in both exhibitions and Japanese comedy shows and that he recently held a solo exhibition. However, the "anti-cheating bra" has not yet been publicly displayed. ZAWAWORKS' website and YouTube channel showcase a range of fantastical comedic inventions, including a "device that cuts only underwear," a "breastfeeding cigarette" and a "boobs keyboard." ( To learn more about ZAWAWORKS and his creative approach to his work, he recommended this English-language YouTube video. Other bra-related rumors we have investigated include a photograph allegedly showing a woman wearing a "bullet bra" and a claim that the first patented sports bra was invented by sewing together jockstraps.
