Don`t know what`s in the blood today but I feel as though I have a lot to share with you. First I saw Superbad the other night and its worth all the Hype!!.....Its been awhile since I`ve been at a movie theater and laughed so hard that it was uncomfortable....and for those of you who have seen it, all I have to say is McLovin!... I found out the the film stars two Canadians as well. Michael Cera and Martha [...]

This years LOLA Festival (London Ontario Live Arts) is getting closer and I am getting more excited by the day...Who playing??...Apparently these guys: The Acorn Akron/Family Antibalas Barmitzvah Brothers Laura Barrett Basia Bulat [...]

I`d like to give BIG props to Killbeat music for hooking me up with some awesome music this summer. The Details arrived yesterday in the mail. It then jumped outta the CD case and into my PC. The lead singer sounds like someone familiar, but I can`t put a name on it. Anyways the track Reunion Souvenirs is one to add to the iPod playlist...so get it....and the album when it drops Sept. 25..... [...]

I have given the new Rogue Wave album about 3-4 listens now and am loooving it!!...I think Zach Rogue`s voice and an acoustic guitar were made for each other. The new album Asleep At Heaven`s Gate (due out in Sept) is a little more up-tempo then Decended Like Vultures . I must admit I wasn`t too happy that they switched from Subpop to Jack Johnson`s [...]

I gotta say that Band Of Horses is one of the best live acts going these days. This is the second time I had see them at Lee`s Palace and they rocked the house....yet again. Even their new songs sounded amazing, and made me even more excited for their new album (called Cease To Begin and due out Oct 9 ). Me and Patricia got to hang out with the guys [...]

Man I hate bloggers that talk about themselves all the time and self-promote them or their site.....we`ll today I`m gonna be " That Guy "! First I`m very excited to announce that my band The Spyes will be playing its first gig in a few years....Yes that`s right ladies and gentlemen book off August 30 and be ready to head to The Embassy [...]

Two of my favourite artists in high school were Foo Fighters and Matthew Good ....and what do ya know, they both have new material out right now.....The new song by Foo Fighters is outright awesome!!..Sounds very "Color And The Shape " which is not surprising considering Gil Norton is Producing the album (He also produced Color And The Shape)..... and I havn`t herd much [...]
Not much has happend around here with new music. My mailbox is flooded with new artists yet I havn`t had 1 minute to surf threw them all.....I did however check out Rodrigo Y Gabriela a Guitar duo from Mexico....who play some awesome guitar...I usually don`t like posting Utube videos on my blog...but this video is an exception (thanks Mike)..CN Rodrigo Y Gabriela - Diablo Rojo [...]

I`ve been raving about this years albums by Two Hours Traffic and Germans , and am super duper excited to see em live. Oh and I totally fell [...]

We finally got our copy of Guitar Hero 80`s yesterday....which totally gave me the idea for this post....I love 80`s music and the whole hair-band era...yet I found myself scratching my head on some of these songs...Who are these bands?...and what song is this?....Its a great game and awesome to have some fresh songs...I just wish there were more I knew...or more in general. At full price we only get 30 or so new songs, oh well it will still tide us over until #3 comes out...I`ll leave ya with some of my favs...CN [...]

I had a taste of Common `s new album " Finding Forever " last weekend....and am now ready to give a formal review. I only hopped on the Common bandwagon when " Electric Circus " was released, so I really can`t compare this one to all his other albums. But I will say that I enjoyed his last record " Be " more then this one. That doesn`t mean Finding Forever [...]

Ya know I rat about Myspace all the time and how shitty it has become ( Facebook is leaning more towards crap as well....with its 1000 add ons) but the good thing about these social networking sites is that they keep you up to date on bands tour dates. I now find that a lot of bands will update their MySpace site first with new tour dates ...then on their regular site...... and [...]

I`ve been talkin a lot of shit lately about all these awesome concerts happenin around here: S unday July 22 They Shoot Horses Don`t They? @ Call The Office Friday July 27 Emily Hanes (Metric) @ Aeolian Hall Monday July 30 Handsome Furs, Two-Hours Traffic, Germans @ Call The Office Monday Aug [...]

Obviously some shots of us from our Canadian Idol trip last night....sorry I didn`t have more time to put into this post....I did find a song by Kevin Drew though ( Broken Social Scene ) that I`ll share with ya...CN Kevin Drew - TBTF

Some very sexy voices were introduced to me yesterday. First, as I was doing the laundry the mail-person dropped off a package that contained a band called Girl Nobody . Yeah I`d never herd of them either but the name sounded inviting, and I actually enjoyed the album more then I thought...I also appreaciate the use of the Fender Rhodes ... Then after band practice (yes I have a band again) my cousin gave me my [...]

2 things that I obsessed about this weekend is...1..HBO`s new comedy series " Flight Of The Conchords "...is LOLBY (laugh out loud by yourself ) funny!!...I love the little songs they have, and stupid me didn`t even know they were a read band until I Wiki`d it after the pilot... the other thing I was obsessed with is the new Fiery Furnaces album Widow City ....which totally blows their last album " [...]

A hot tip came my way via e-mail last week to check out the New Young Pony Club ....and electronic/indie pop outfit from the U.K...So I listened to a few tracks from the new album Fantasic Playroom . I love the new wave beats, but I`m not too sold on the vocals quite yet....I think her voice is going to be one that will have to grow on some people, and I can`t wait for it to grow [...]

We got tix for Bloc Party.....which is like months away, but I`m still really excited. I havn`t seen em before... and Deerhoof and Smoosh are opening....Ya gotta love when shit like this goes down, and I really can`t complain. With The White Stripes playing last week, the anouncement of Bloc Party this week, and other various shows in London [...]

It was a random drunk-fest at the Alex P. last night....To be honest it was waaaaaay to friggin humid to stay in the bar for very long, the amount of people and energy made it a very sticky night....Needless to say I didn`t see much of Cadence`s set...but I herd a lot of it....I did push my way closer to take a few shitty shots....CN [...]
