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!

Alzheimer Society's iPod Project offers music to soothe troubled souls:

Sloan Reveal Plans for Solo-sided Double Album:
"I don't know if it sounds obnoxious but if there's any band out there that could do something like that, maybe ours could. Our band has been around a long time and we could just keep making regular records, but it feels like you need a story with each record you put out, just to get some attention. Now feels like the right time to do it.
Maybe everyone will think, 'That was stupid.' And then we'll come back with a regular record where everyone's like, 'Yay, it's great!'" -Ferguson
Online music store:
“Looking at album cover art and perusing booklets that come with CDs is fun. But after more than 10 years of collecting CDs, they become clutter. With digital music, I can put my library in a hard drive and take it with me everywhere.” -Barbie Almalbis
Coub Raises $1M For Its Gif-Like Looping Music Videos Service:
“We discovered this media format and now we are observing its evolution. It already has traditions, own memes, genres and sub-formats. We made a tool that you can use in different ways.

On the other hand, coubs also have a professional usage, for example, as an illustration in media, or as an animated photo on an online store.” -Anton Gladkoborodov

The Store listing makes note of the Galaxy SIII and Note II in particular, though it may also be available to other devices."

"It's always a joy to me to reach away from that. But the themes and sentiments on this record are within that darker realm and that darker tone because I've always been honest in everything that I write. It's beyond me. I'm crippled.
