These articles brought forth are for a few different reasons:
1. It is relevant music information that pertains to you as a reader, no matter the level of intent or the genre.
2. They are relevant to the music I would be currently listening to or a genre I have put some attention and focus on.
3. I am somewhat patriotic about my Canadian music, so that always comes as a first for me. I enjoy music from all parts of the world respectively, but I still have to promote local if I can. Canadian music rocks!
4. Because it's humourous and we can ALWAYS use a good laugh. Rarely will it be at someone's expense...but then again I am just the guy talking about it. They're the ones causing the comments.
So in closing, I trust you all will not read EVERY single article posted here. But I hope you find something of use here and keep the conversation going by forwarding it onto someone else. Click on each article heading for redirection to the full article. Cheers!

LAMB OF GOD Frontman Collaborates With CORROSION OF CONFORMITY Members:
"[CORROSION OF CONFORMITY's] record 'Animosity' is a HUGE influence on me. In fact, the vocals on that record by [C.O.C. drummer Reed Mullin and bassist/vocalist Mike Dean] were the first screaming type music I tried to sing along to, EVER. Reed had a track he wanted me to write lyrics for and sing on, so I did (title is 'Hung Out To Dry'). It's old-school C.O.C.-style thrash punk and I killed it on the mic — SO FAST!
It was a huge honor for me to work on this. It will eventually come out as a project called TEENAGE TIME KILLER (named after a RUDIMENTARY PENI song) with a bunch of cool vocalists. The instruments were recorded at Dave Grohl's studio (watch his documentary, 'Sound City' — track was recorded on THAT board). Grohl will add a couple of guitar tracks to the tune too. So good!" -Blythe
