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!

"It's funny, when I play people the album they're surprised it's me. A lot of the tracks are quite varied and not necessarily in a style you'd recognise as mine. I didn't want it to all sound the same. I really enjoyed making this album. It's always great to get a chance to get into the studio with a bunch of new songs and I was lucky to work with some very cool producers. We had a lot of fun." -McCartney
Laid-back Jack Johnson addresses critics ahead of album release:
"I'm kind of in that generation right before the new one that's always on the phone.
I don't find myself reading too much of that stuff, and if I did I probably would be too self-absorbed and get too insecure about it and not continue. It'd be hard if I was up to speed with all the criticism. The nice thing is that ignorance is bliss." -Johnson
Russian Circles Streaming “Memorial” Title Track, Chelsea Wolfe Guests:
Bob Dylan opens the vault to reveal a series of hits and misses:
"It goes on, hits and misses among the odds and sods. And, really, that’s just fine. Maybe Self Portrait should never have been issued as an album proper in the first place. Within a rarities collection it has found its true calling, which was to someday answer a question: What else was Bob Dylan up to in 1970?"
Meet the conductor taking up the baton in Calgary:
“That was the first time I realized grown men and women could make a living doing this.” -Johnson
Fans sleuth out Arcade Fire’s secret show in Montreal:

ALICE COOPER Featured In Satirical Video Commercial For FRETLIGHT GUITAR:
A$AP Rocky Axed from York University Concert over Assault Charges:
"The A$AP Rocky performance at the YorkFest Concert, scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 18, has been cancelled after the York Federation of Students Board of Directors learned of allegations of an assault against a woman that are currently before a U.S. court. The Board of Directors has decided that this event cannot proceed until this matter is resolved. This decision should not be construed as suggesting that the YFS has any knowledge of the incident, or has a view on the innocence or guilt of the artist.
The cancellation of an event, which has been painstakingly planned for months, is a difficult decision for the YFS. We apologize to our members who planned to attend the event and are trying to organize another concert for next week. We invite you to the many events planned for YorkFest this year."

"I think that prog rock is the science fiction of music. Science fiction speculates on what the future might be and look like and how we'll get there, and yet there's always a central theme of humanity, or there should be. Progressive rock has the same concept of exploration into the parts of the music world that hasn't been explored." -Shatner

Stray From The Path Preview New Album “Anonymous”:
Sepultura Announce "Tsunami of Metal" North American Tour with Unearth, Kataklysm, Anciients:
"More than ever we are robotized, through the worldwide web, Google glasses, chips under our skins and the globalized slavery our society suffers nowadays. The phrase [The Mediator Between Head and Hands Must Be the Heart] points to the heart as being the human factor who keeps a man, a man, not a robot. The heart beats with freedom of choice, we have to think by ourselves to create a real world, not a matrix." -Andreas Kisser

Vildhjarta Launch Official Stream Of New Song “Dimman”:
Lamb Of God Re-Mix & Remaster “As The Palaces Burn” For 10th Anniversary Edition:
“We are lucky to have the opportunity, a decade after our first attempt, to bring what I consider to be our master work up to speed sonically. Ever since the original release we’ve been distraught about the sonic qualities of ‘As The Palaces Burn’.
The band had captured lightening in a bottle and the budget limitation of a sophomore album turned our lightening into a firefly in a jar. The songs are undeniable and we’ve always been very proud of how this album launched our career. It feels appropriate to revisit now that we can and give this very special album the chance to reach our original hopes and it’s true potential.” -Chris Adler
