What could possibly be smoother than a duet of sultry voices over some smooth sounds?

For this week's edition of Smooth Monday Jams, I've decided to take us on a journey northward to visit our pals in Canada. While some of the best smooth music has come from the states, there is no denying that the Canadians have a respectable catalog of smooth cuts. Here's five songs that'll tell you what some of our Canadian friends are all aboot.

Over the summer, BlackBook sent seven photographers into the night to capture the energy of their home cities. Now that we're in the throws of the bitter cold, what better time to look back at the hottest parties of the year?

All right folks, if you’re like me you know that with the start of August comes that looming feeling that summer is almost over and leaving you wondering what you have been doing for the past two months. Well tonight, I recommend starting the night by joining in on a rooftop BBQ. You do know someone with a roof don’t you? In any case, plan a nice meal out with some friends to congregate over a few (or several) beers, ‘cause once it pops it don't stop, summer! You’ll sit there with friends sharing some laughs, talking about your plans for the future and how this time you're actually going to get off your ass and start doing shit. The time is now. Once you’ve had your revelations about the life you want, you’ll be feeling good and, chances are, looking good, too. I love what you're doing with your hair!
