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!
Snoop Dogg and Dâm-Funk Team Up for Album as 7 Days of Funk:
"We're the babies of the Mothership. I've had funk influences in my music my whole career. Dâm-Funk is cold. He's keeping the funk alive and I knew I had to get down with him." -Snoop
"Snoop knew what I was thinking without me having to articulate it. That's how you know when you gel artistically with someone. These beats were made for him and he laid down some of the smoothest harmonies and melodies I've ever heard. It's hip-hop, but you can also hear what we grew up on, from Zapp to Evelyn 'Champagne' King and Patrice Rushen." -Dâm-Funk
Panic! at the Disco Release "Girls/Girls/Boys" Music Video:
The Real CBGB Is Ready for Its Closeup:
"Ivers and Armstrong remember the real scene at CBGB better than most: They've been looking at film footage from the club's golden era for more than 30 years. As budding filmmakers, they lugged heavy videotaping equipment to New York's punk venues throughout the latter half of the Seventies, shooting sets by Iggy Pop, the Dead Boys, the Cramps, Bad Brains, Richard Hell and the Voidoids and many more."
AFI premiere their single "No Resurrection":

Straight Outta Oslo: Ylvis Invade America:
"The idea was to make a pop song about a totally stupid subject. Then we'd come back to Norway and say, 'We had the opportunity to do something big here, but we couldn't come up with anything better than what sound the fox makes. I'm sorry, we screwed this up!'" -Vegard

"Ghost Thief is a reference to the personification of Death. Depending on the circumstance, death can be greeted as an enemy or a friend. We have a few songs that deal with the suddenness and finality of death. 'Ghost Thief' and 'Sudden' both are inspired by people who died suddenly and unexpectedly. Friends of ours or family members that we were close to." -Bruce Fitzhugh (guitarist/vocalist)
World Premiere: HALESTORM's 'ReAniMate 2.0: The CoVeRs eP':
LACUNA COIL Completes Recording New Album:
"We changed producers on our last album, 'Shallow Life', and we wanted to work with Don. I think that we wanted to change producers mainly to see what we could do with a different person. A producer is much like a teacher and we wanted to learn something new and we found that our goals and Don's were much the same. When listening to 'Dark Adrenaline', I can say that there is so much different. We are more experienced now and more confident in our sound and we get inspired to try to do more with each new record." -Scabbia

Heavy Metal Scene In Mozambique Explored In New Documentary:
"So far the entire project, including four trips to Mozambique and purchasing all the equipment, has been self-funded using rapidly diminishing savings and credit cards. The money raised through RocketHub would be used to pay translators, hire a desperately needed assistant so that I can actually work on the film and hire at least one Portuguese-speaking editor, preferably with a good sense of story, who can look at the footage thoroughly. I obviously need a lot more than that.
Ultimately I would like to be able to give instruments and equipment to the metal musicians and the rehearsal spaces; set up a scholarship fund to pay for the continuing educations of the metal kids, whatever they'd like to pursue; and to bring some of the bands here to play. The dream would be to have a Mozambican metal band open for an American band that had had the most influence, such as SLIPKNOT or CANNIBAL CORPSE." -Leslie Bornstein (journalist and filmmaker)
Chelsea Grin tease new material:
IRON MAIDEN's TROOPER Beer Exports Pass Million Mark:
"The beer itself is fantastic in terms of quality and taste, hence repeat purchases are high, but we are astonished to reach this second millionth mark in less than six months. To add to this, we have discovered that Trooper is driving the sales of cask ale across the board. Within our Robinsons estate beer sales of the pubs that have listed Trooper are actually 8% ahead of those which have not. This is a beer that not only drives customers into pubs; it also drives the sales of our other brands. There are not many beers in the world that can do that. Establishing a new beer in the U.K. and globally is a long and difficult process but we feel we are off to a great start.” -Oliver Robinson
