Tweet Despite what the introduction headline may suggest, The Besnard Lakes are not a new band. They are Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas, a married couple that started a band in 2003, so not old either I guess. But what's more relevant is that they are obscenely, colossally good. It's amazing, but they have somehow hovered under the radar here at LB4YB, even despite being signed to Jagjaguwar , one of my favorite labels and home to brilliance like [...]
Getty Images Canada rocks - from its landscape to its multiculturalism to its beer and music. Compiling a list of great Canadian hard rock bands of all time is a daunting assignment that will invite many criticisms and this list is not without ifs and buts. But the task is the fairly definable "hard rock" genre, meaning no metal, no punk, no screamo, no industrial and no straight-up melodic rock. So that cuts out a range of Canadian rockers: Max Webster, Alexisonfire , Headstones, Nickelback , Prism, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, [...]
The world needs another Star Wars parody like I need an STD. And yet, somehow College Humor has managed to make another parody that contains a few decent and fresh laughs. And mostly that has to do with Aubrey Plaza's insouciant delivery, which isn't all that different from her character April on Parks and Recreation. Troopers is a new series that shows some promise, though one would imagine it has the potentially to get very stale very quickly. [via vulture ]
by teepoo I know you're all probably shopping for boxing day. But here is the next episode of REMIX SUNDAYS. Maybe a great way to wake up at 6 in the morning so you can buy that big screen TV.

Vous vous dites déjà mais quand va t-il arrêter ? en parlant du producteur allemand qui a l'air de se trouver dans une vague d'inspiration incommensurable. Boys Noize revient bel et bien avec un nouvel EP, Trooper et ne se prend même plus la tête à modifier les covers, ( voir le billet sur le dernier EP, Nott ). Quatre remixes présent sur l'EP, les habitués je dirais avec MixHell et Strip Steve , puis les un peu moins communs avec Robert Hood et Phon.o [...]
Boys Noise aka Alex Riddha is about the mark the end of his amazing artist album "Power" with one last single release. And he has chosen techno slabs, "Nott" and "Trooper" to go out with a power-bang. Boys Noise - Trooper by Mr HBF The release comes with some stellar remix work too, with techno-Godfather and Detroit legend Robert Hood taking "Trooper" into a techno-machine, with big dry kickdrums and static percussion that reflect the original idea behind "Trooper". A very special vocalist appears on the [...]
En nuestra sección semanal "Covers" descubrimos los detalles de las mejores canciones de los últimos tiempos. En ella, entre otras cosas, aprendemos a apreciar el jugo que muchas versiones sacan de los temas originales. Sin embargo, no todos los artistas tienen la oportunidad de dar a conocer sus adaptaciones al gran público. Pero bueno, si hay algo que ha cambiado eso en la actualidad es Internet. Andy Rehfeldt , del que hablamos hace unos meses por su particular versiones jazzera de "Enter Sandman" de Metallica , ha vuelto a hacer de las [...]
Als je dacht dat $$troopers niet te overtreffen viel dan heb je je vergist in de 8 bit Fin Huoratron. Corporate Occult klapt over je heen en maakt een onuitwisbare indruk met allerlei gejat horrorwerk. Evenzogoed is het de maker van de clip toch gelukt een lekker spannende video te maken. Beter goed gejat dan slecht bedacht. Alleen niet voor kindertjes. "CORPORATE OCCULT" Huoratron Music Video from Cédric BLAISBOIS on Vimeo .
There's gonna be fireworks this November 5th. None of that Bonfire Night bollocks either - HUORATRON is back with his new Corporate Occult EP!! Check out this video teaser, it's gonna be SICKSICKSICK! I've been a fan for a while and I still don't ever know how to describe him. I 'spose what he does is electro, but it's got a core as cold as his Finland homeland, more bass than it knows what to do with, it's sort of 8-bitty (which regular readers will know always gets [...]
A wide and varied collection of Canadian artists for you on Canada Day 2009, One Hundred and Forty Two years old... Happy Birthday Canada. Viletones - I hate You-Without You The Real McKenzies - Ceilidh Cancer Bats - Sorceress Die Mannequin - Do It Or Die Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown Neil Young - Tonights the Night [...]
Well Canada Day is coming up in a couple of days and what I normally do is make up a compilation album chock full of great Canadian tunes to help my fellow Canucks to properly celebrate Canada's birthday. For example there was last years Canada Day post and remarkably the links are still good so you may want to gander over there and grab that one if these next few posts don't float your boat. I'm doing something a little different this year. Back in 1996 the Juno [...]
Ecco una notizia che farà felici tutti i videogiocatori metallari di Soundblog (e, in questo caso, anche di Gamesblog ): tra poco più di una settimana (per l'esattezza il 9 giugno) saranno disponibili, per i giochi Rock Band e Rock Band 2 , ben 12 nuovi brani degli Iron Maiden ! Per quanti di voi non conoscono Rock Band, possiamo dirvi che è un videogioco sulla falsariga del famosissimo Guitar Hero ma, rispetto a quest'ultimo, possiede alcune aggiunte interessanti ed un sistema di gioco più immediato e "professionale".

I recently put Pat Travers and Trooper in the same category. Then I thought about it and realized that ain't necessarily so. Pat Travers was steeped in the blues. Many people categorize him with guys like Gary Moore , for example. Trooper, on the other hand, were very much a party band. Some would put them in the same category as Loverboy . So why would I categorize them together? History. When I started working in AOR radio, back in the early 1980's, there were a handful of [...]
Just because you're playing Maiden doesn't take away from the fact the you, sir, are a harpist.
Los Gauchos de Acero son una banda de niños de Argentina (se hicieron "famosos" cuando aparecieron en un comercial de TV) que tienen un futuro realmente interesante. ¿Por qué hablo de ellos ahora? Bueno, básicamente porque la nenita de 4 años que aparece en el video, sobrina de los integrantes del grupo, no tiene desperdicio. Empieza revoleando sus cabellos e imitando la voz del frontman de la banda. Realmente gracioso. Vía: Digg Comparte esta anotación
Well I dunno about you guys (I also don't even know most of you guys), but I had a great week, and I'm looking forward to a great weekend. This video will only help that initiative Big thanks to Sagiv for sending this in to me like 2 months ago... I wanted to save it for a special day...and I think that day is today. Gauchos's Reundition of Iron Maiden's "The Trooper"... enjoy! That...little...girl....RULES
Right now, my eyes are bleeding with mucus and i barely have the energy to attend my yearly Après-ski . I have the flu/cold/whatever and it really sucks. Now usually when i'm in this state i listen to nothing but an ambiance CD of rain forest noises that i stole from my yoga/meditation teacher Mother. But I am quickly getting sick of this flu and have resorted to more aggressive music in the hope i can just thrash dance it out of my system. New Judas is not only getting rid of my cold [...]
