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!
Rita MacNeil honoured by country music hall of fame:
“Both Ms. MacNeil and Mr. Harris have made huge imprints on country music in Canada and we are delighted to have them enter the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. I would like to thank our hall of fame electors committee for recognizing these two outstanding industry leaders.” -Don Green (association president)
ALICE COOPER Talks About Upcoming Covers Album, Possible Broadway Musical:
“I think if we ever take Alice Cooper to Broadway, it would just be called ‘Nightmare.’ ‘Welcome to My Nightmare’ would be the first half and ‘Welcome 2’ would be the second half. That would work. That idea’s always out there; you just have to wait until a producer comes long and says ‘I love that idea.’ I think maybe a little more time needs to go by before ‘Nightmare’ becomes sort of an American classic; then we’ll have that validity to go and do the (Broadway) show.”
'Dylan goes electric' guitar poised for sale:
"I've been talking to Wes Cowan, who appeared on History Detectives. He owns an auction house. He's giving me some contacts, but we'll probably also call Sotheby's and Christie's to determine who is the best going forward." -Dawn Peterson

Krall fulfills patriotic duty during Canada Day performance in Athens:
"It was Krall’s first performance at the Odeon since her twin boys were born six years ago (their father is Elvis Costello) and she fulfilled her patriotic duty with a gentle sprinkling of Canadian content – songs by Joni Mitchell, a rousing rendition of Ophelia, by that honourary-Canadian band, The Band, and Departure Bay, a song composed by Krall and Costello that commemorates Krall’s Nanaimo, B.C., home."

Surviving Members of the Doors Planning to Reunite for Tribute to Ray Manzarek:
"We should probably wait until John's book dies down. He's the one that got me in the Doors. What am I going to do? I can't hate him forever. I just wish he had wanted to play with Ray and I back before all this started. That's when things went bad. We're talking about it." -Krieger

Jay-Z's Samsung deal signals a musical future where the rich get richer:
"The benefit for Jay-Z, apart from a guaranteed $5m, is turbocharged promotion and profile raising. But the benefits for Samsung are potentially greater. For a company that spends an estimated $4bn a year on marketing, the $20m it handed over to Jay-Z and Roc Nation is chump change. To put that in content, global record sales last year generated $16.5bn – so Samsung throws a quarter of the gross value of the entire record business just at marketing every year."
MASTODON Guitarist: '25 To 30 Songs' Are 'Ready For The New Record':
"Before we left for the European tour, which was prior to this, we got into a studio with a producer. We started just putting ideas down on tape, so to speak. We have about 25 to 30 songs that are ready for the new record. We're obviously not gonna use all 30 of them, but we're in a much better place than we've ever been as far as being prepared during pre-production for an album. We'd like to get the record finished by the end of the year and have it out as soon as Christmas and all the holidays are over with — maybe, like, March or April, it would be great to have the new record out and then do a brand new tour on some new music." -Kelliher

GHOST 'Monstrance Clock' Video Released:
Rick Moranis riffs about his mother’s brisket and other choice cuts:
"My producer Gary Schreiner and I decided that if in a parallel universe this song was played at a bar mitzvah or wedding, every son would go to the table where their mother was sitting and dance with her. So, it’s a dance song. And being such a fan of those fifties and sixties albums, that were called Andy Williams’s Moon River and Other Love Songs or whatever, I just thought I had to use that. The whole thing has a vintage quality to it anyhow."
JOE SATRIANI, JOE PERRY, MARTY FRIEDMAN Guest On New STEVE HUNTER Album:
THE KINDRED Signs With SUMERIAN RECORDS:
"I remember when we were writing material for our independent full-length, 'Lore', having multiple conversations about Sumerian Records as a label, and how well they seemed to work with their bands. Those conversations always ended with some variation of the statement 'it would be great if we could get ourselves onto their roster.' Knowing this, you can imagine how we felt when we first heard from the label. From that initial correspondence forward, we only had the best experiences in dealing with the people at Sumerian and we're quite excited to move forward with everything that's to come. As a group, we've always been really proud of what we've been able to achieve for ourselves, but now, with the support of an entity like Sumerian, we seem to be closer and closer to realizing some of the bigger goals that we've always had for ourselves." -David Journeaux
Amon Amarth Talk Their Gory New 'Deceiver of the Gods' LP:
"We have been thinking about him as a producer for a couple of years but we never got to it until this album. After three albums working with Jens Bogren, we felt it was time to move on and contacted Andy to see if he was available and interested in working with us. I really like what he did for Accept. Their 'comeback' album Blood of the Nations sounds great." -Lundström

Lamb of God's Randy Blythe Penning Memoir:
"While I've dreamed of being a published author almost since I began to read, I never imagined my first book would center around such a sad topic. Sometimes though, life unexpectedly provides you a story that needs to be told. I believe this one does (for several different reasons, not just for the benefit of myself), so I will tell it with the respect and dignity all involved deserve. This will be a good read, I promise you, and I hope some good comes of it." -Blythe
