Its a trend on Facebook. People are doing this "Shuffle 253 and tagging friends on the note. If you don't know what is it. For those music geeks, you should try out this experiment. First rule - be honest! Don't keep shuffling forward for "cooler" songs. This is a 'getting to know you' exercise. Once you've been tagged... Turn on your MP3 player or music player on your computer. Go to SHUFFLE mode. Write down the first 25 songs that come up - title [...]
Broken Social Scene - "Fire Eye'd Boy"

I remember when Broken Social Scene came thru Detroit for the first time, I helped run their merch booth for them before they even got big[yeah yeah yeah music nerd phrase right there], I was geeked to do it, Kevin Drew even bought me a Heineken and I kept the bottle until someone told me that was taken it too far haha [there you all go, my most pathetic fan boy moment]. BSS is probably the only band I could watch live for more than 2.5 hours (yes even Radiohead, I could probably [...]

Αν το National Anthem to Nowhere ήταν κατά κάποιο τρόπο θεματικό, αυτό εδώ είναι σίγουρα. Ο τίτλος το φανερώνει αμέσως. "Apostle of Hustle Eats Darkness" . Ο... Apostle of Hustle, το side project του Andrew Whiteman των Broken Social Scene δηλαδή, σε μια διαδικασία μιθριδατισμού τρώει το δηλητήριο του σκότους για να παράξει φως. Δύσκολο; Όπως δηλώνει και ο ίδιος τα τραγούδια αυτά γράφτηκαν για να μας βοηθήσουν να...χωνέψουμε τον κόσμο μας. Λίγα ...αυτόνομα τραγούδια με τα [...]

From their Album Pure Hearing Featuring Hans Gutknecht on guitar and lead vocals and Philipp Gutbrod on drums, the band was originally formed in 2005. Hans, who had worked as an engineer at R&B producer Dallas Austin's studio in Atlanta, has been a successful songwriter, licensing music for film and TV. And Gutbrod's technically innovative and imaginative style complements him perfectly, bringing a new force to the band's already potent songs. Raised in Germany, Gutbrod has been a lifelong student of percussion with [...]
IR favorites, The Winter Sounds, are currently recording their second full length album entitled 'Church of the Haunted South' down in Austin, Texas. Apparently the recording is taking place at Cacophony Recorders where they are working with Danny Reisch (the Lemurs) and should hopefully be done soon for the sake of all of us fanatics. The first hint of the sound on the new album can be found on this unmastered new demo called 'Trophy Wife', which you can currently grab for free over on TheirSpace . For future news on the album [...]

The 2007 JUNO's awards were on TV last night and holy suffering Jesus was it ever gross. It's amazing that what is suppose to be Canada's celebration of its musical talent has become a massive promo for host broadcaster CTV's Canadian Idol franchise. The show/network takes a cut of their past contestants record sales, so you can see where they're coming from, but the blatant corporate abuse of this cultural event and the glass doored deception of all the viewing public in doing so is a joke. While it's great that new talent such [...]
Last night we went to go see the flick "The Last Kiss". We are going to post a review about it later today. We also recently saw "Half Nelson" and we will be giving a few thoughts on that thought film as well. Since I watched Half Nelson I have been on a big Broken Social Scene kick since they have 3 songs on the sidetrack. Only a band with a sound as diverse as Broken Social Scence could fit so
Although it's not really new news, me seeing the video is new. Yes here is the long awaited Broken Social Scene video for "Fire Eye'd Boy" that features Geddy Lee and makes more fun of Canadian Idol. Thanks to Pitchfork for pointing the way to the YouTube video.
