Go shopping at Honest Ed's with Badbadnotgood where they talk jazz, dis U of T

by Nicole Villeneuve

Vice recently took Toronto hip-hop manipulating jazz trio Badbadnotgood through the sprawling maze of Honest Ed’s, Toronto’s iconic discount department store, to do some shopping, explain why jazz sucks, and talk shit on the University of Toronto.

“There are probably less assholes in the jazz program than the classical[…]but with U of T it’s a prestige thing,” band member Alex Sowinski says. “I think people at Humber [where the members all went] are as good or even better at people at U of T, but the thing with U of T is they only accept people who are prodigies. Like, if you don’t know how to modulate from V to IV when you’re like 16, then they assume there’s no way for you to have a good music career.”

There’re a few good photos to go with it, too. Read the full thing here.
