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!
Masonic Temple in Toronto sold to IT firm for $12.5M:

I Don't Need Alcohol to Enjoy the Majesty of Rock 'n' Roll:
"Maybe I'm an oddity, but I've never needed any help to appreciate Rock. I love listening to Rock music stone cold sober. It makes me wonder -- all the people who do need the alcohol with their Rock music, do they secretly hate it when they're sober? Do they merely tolerate it in order to partake in the social aspect that comes with the Rock 'n' Roll experience, secretly agreeing with all the authority figures who called it "noise"? Does the alcohol become some audio equivalent to what is known as "beer goggles"? Is Rock music mostly regarded as some background music to a drinking session, like some youth-tinged version of elevator music? Am I the only one who likes it for real?"
BUCKCHERRY: 'Nothing Left But Tears' Lyric Video Released:
The Postal Service Reunion Lacks Romance:
"And maybe that emotional connection would have been re-established in a room more intimate or a field more epic than the empty airiness of a hockey arena. The venue was a terrible choice for the band ("this place is a little big, right?" Gibbard joked early on) which robbed the show of the intimacy it demanded."

The music we choose at funerals reveals much about our loved ones:
"When we lose someone, these are the songs we draw on. We play them to evoke memories of that person; we take comfort in the familiarity of their tunes. Maybe, if they're appropriate, we fold these songs into the funeral ritual. It's a revealing process, choosing these exit songs for the departed; they say so much about the person we are mourning and articulate our loss when our own words fail."
Oh, Sleeper Pushing Forward With Two New Crowdfunded EP’s:
“We have been at breakneck speed since the triumphant end of the campaign and just want to say THANK YOU for your tremendous support!
Because of this amazing support we are extremely proud to announce that we WILL be reserving enough funds raised over our goal to schedule time after Warped Tour to hit the studio to make a SECOND EP! We aren’t sure of the date because it will have to fit in when our touring schedule permits, but we will definitely be recording another EP.
We have wrapped up in the studio and are in the final stages of preparing the release of The Titan EP (and now en route to Warped Tour!). We are beyond thrilled with how these songs have turned out and extremely grateful for the tremendous effort our producer, Andreas Magnusson, has put into helping us rush this out. Our sound has evolved and we absolutely cannot wait to hear your response.
We will release a single, “THE PITCH,” ASAP.
We are getting all of the merchandise and everything else into production for all of the awesome funders. We’ve never been in charge of doing ALL of this before haha, but it’s an exciting challenge. Look for more updates!
Due to the insane rush that we’ve been experiencing in this time crunch, we haven’t had a lot of time to make updates about the process, but we thank you so much for your patience. Stay tuned, The Titan EP is coming soon!
And of course TITAN will be available to everyone soon!”

Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival 2013: Major Moments From The Tennessee Shows:
"Everyone's there. It's not Coachella where everybody leaves and they go to their condo or whatever. Everyone's out there sweating, getting smelly together. Even with the electronica and hip-hop and all that really becoming a big part of it, it's always going to be a hippy festival in the end. That's awesome." -Derek Vincent Smith

Ireland orders firms to ban access to The Pirate Bay:
"The Irish Recorded Music Association is very pleased at the decision of the High Court, which blocks access by all ISPs to the notorious Pirate Bay website. It is estimated that 8% of all internet users in Ireland accessed the website on a monthly basis.
The template from this decision will now be used to seek further orders blocking access to other websites and cyber-lockers predominately involved in making available infringing copyrights." -Dick Doyle

UNEARTH SIGN WITH EONE MUSIC IN N. AMERICA:
"A new chapter has begun for Unearth as we have found a few new places to call home. By joining forces with eOne (North America), Century Media (Europe), Howling Bull (Japan) and 3Wise (Australia) we will have a more focused attack from some of the most well known and respected labels in the world. We know this new beginning of sorts will bring bigger and better things for Unearth and our fans and we couldn't be more excited for the future of all things Unearth. We are currently in the studio recording some of the most aggressive, anthemic and energized metal we have ever written and we look forward to unleashing it to you all when it is finished. Expect to hear more about our new album, release dates and future world wide touring plans later this summer.
We also want to take this opportunity to thank Metal Blade Records for being our label home for almost a decade. In that time we released four LP's and a double DVD, circled the Globe playing Heavy Metal dozens of times and experienced some of the greatest moments of our collective lives. Metal Blade helped us along the path of our dream and we are eternally grateful. We start new label relationships today, but we will always consider ourselves part of the Metal Blade Records family." -Unearth
OLD GODS "From Beyond". Former Dillinger Escape Plan Guitarist Ready To Rip Your Face Off!:
RockFest attendee describes 'chaotic' site at Montebello:
"I thought it was just chaotic. Nothing was well organized. The washrooms were just a mess … there weren't enough of them, no one was emptying the trash cans. There was mud all over. That's nobody's fault, but there was plastic, just garbage all over the place. The trash cans were just too full, there was no room for anything else … so everyone was just getting rid of their garbage any way they could." -Claudia Lahaie
