Music News and New Music for September 24th, 2013

So of course, when running your own blog solo it can be tough to keep up with the s**tload of stuff that comes across our ears over a weekend!  Some good, some bad, some not even worth mentioning.  I guess that's how I use AFGM in general.  These articles that I go through everyday from various sites (Blabbermouth,. CBC, National Post, AV Club, Exclaim, Music News, Rolling Stone, etc.) and sort of "filter" some of the nonsense news such as the latest fashion design, who's got beef with who and who ISN'T doing music...still.

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!



METALLICA: 'Master Of Puppets' Performance Clip From 'Through The Never' Movie:




The TSO and its guest cellist deliver musical risk-taking at its finest:

"We want a lot from the Toronto Symphony. They have proven time and again that they are capable of substantial artistic achievement. So, when they don’t reach the heights, we feel a bit let down. The Elgar reminded us on Wednesday night of what they can achieve. It’s a standard they’ve taught us to expect."

Fewer hooks, plenty of sprawl: Why I’m glad the boys of MGMT are back with a new album:

"And in 2010, when MGMT released Congratulations, it was apparent that the MGMT thing was a new thing: less anthemic, less hooky, still melodic, but more of an airy, sprawling sonic adventure. Producer Fridmann missed that journey, and although he is now back on board, this self-titled third disc continues with beautiful textures and updated sixties experimentation at the expense of pop hooks."

PROTEST THE HERO: 'Clarity' Lyric Video:



Elvis Costello Explains the Origins of His Roots Collab 'Wise Up Ghost':

"When I first went on [Fallon], I didn't know what the protocol was about the Roots accompanying people.  I'd seen them do it on a number of nights, but I didn't know how tight they were with those artists. They could have been friends from another occasion; I didn't think it was necessarily something you could request.

It would just be idiotic to assume that I would even think about trying to do a rap record.  But there are plenty of songs I've done where the declamation of the lyric has been more important than the melodiousness of my voice. Right from the beginning, 'Pump It Up' is from a noble lineage of one-note songs, where the rhythm is driving it as opposed to melodies that, as they used to say, the milkman can whistle." -Costello


KORN: 'The Paradigm Shift' EPK:



Korn also tease three new songs from their upcoming record.  Check out "Spike In My Veins" (http://instagram.com/p/edepTGq-xt/), "Prey For Me" (http://instagram.com/p/edcbULK--Q/) and “Punishment Time” (http://instagram.com/p/en4OavBV-t/)


John Lennon's 1980 Trip to Bermuda Documented with New App:


"Writing Double Fantasy was a very exciting time creatively for both John and me.  I think the album app captures the sense of discovery and the artistic dialogue that John and I shared at that time and provides a new way to help us imagine a world without hunger." -Ono

DEATH ANGEL - 'The Dream Calls For Blood' Lyric Video:




ASHES OF ARES: 'This Is My Hell' Video:



"It really is for the first time being in total creative control of lyrics and vocal melodies. That's a big deal for me. It's a big step, but without Freddie writing the music — he wrote 99.9 however much of the music — it would be different. I'm a music writer, but not writer per se. I did write the basis for "Move The Chains", but my guitar playing sucks [laughs], but Freddie made it sound like actual guitar playing, and I did "The Answer", which I wrote acoustically. It's really more… I'm going to take the hits — good or bad — as far as lyrics and melodies because it is all me. Freddie wrote 99.9 [percent], however much of the music, but it's really this collaborative effort. Van took the ideas we had and wrote these cool drum parts that we didn't even think of — it changed the dynamic of the songs. It's a really cool joint collaboration, and we're really proud." -Matt Barlow
