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!
Metric Release 'Synthetica' Companion Album and App:
"The app will allow users to remix 11 tracks from Synthetica and Synthetica Reflections, as well as re-sequence them in whatever order they'd like. The design of the app was inspired by the late-Sixties Italian architecture collective Superstudio, whose work and imagery also made a big impact on Metric as they recorded Synthetica. You can try out the app for free with album cut "Lost Kitten"; each additional song will cost 99 cents, though you can pick up the whole thing for $7.99."
Cracker Frontman Spearheads Takedown of Lyric Sites:
"Unlicensed lyric sites are largely ignored as copyright infringers, but in fact these sites generate huge web traffic and involve more money than one might think. The lyric business is clearly more valuable in the Internet age." -Lowery

Keith Moon Biopic Gets Back on Track with the Help of Roger Daltrey:
"The Keith Moon project is one close to my heart so I am excited to reinvigorate it and grateful to Wendy, Toby and Da Vinci for their enthusiastic support.” -Daltrey

We are excited to be topping up our deal with Exclusive, and look forward to growing the relationship.” -Wendy Rutland
Jay Z's 'Made in America' to Receive Theatrical Release in 2014:

Nearly 80,000 people attended the Philadelphia event, curated and headlined by Jay Z."
Nas to Soundtrack and Serve as Executive Producer on Upcoming B-Boy Documentary:
"What these kids are doing around the world reminds me why I fell in love with hip-hop and how important it is as a creative and constructive outlet. After hearing Adam's vision for this project and hearing the stories, I was incredibly excited to help bring the film to global audiences who need to hear this surprising message of empowerment." -Nas
RZA Points the Finger at Raekwon for Delaying New Wu-Tang Album:
"It's like, wow, I kept trying to pull people together. I spent a lot of money and a lot of time this year. I put my movie career on hold for the first half of the year because I was focusing on making this. I went down to Memphis, I went down to Philadelphia, I came back to the East Coast to reopen the Wu Mansion. I invested thousands of dollars to rebuild it so that we can have a place to record a new album. And when I scheduled that to happen, only a few good brothers showed up.
And one of the guys who showed up the most was Method Man. He showed the most tenacity, he was the most vocal, he showed up the most, and he got the most lyrics on the new album. He's already recorded eight or nine songs. He's been on it. You know, I give Cappadonna credit, he's been really on it. U-God has been present. Masta Killa be representing. Inspectah Deck has been somewhat present. Ghost has been, you know, 20 percent present. And Raekwon hasn't shown up at all. When you look at somebody like Masta Killa and U-God, they seem to have that original hunger to complete the legacy. I respect that everybody [is] busy with they own lives. I started with a plan that I thought would work. Now maybe my plan not working." -RZA

Inside Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones' Dark Dream:
"I thought, 'Man, what made them want to make this record? It seemed so cryptic that these guys would be doing songs about death, being in jail and lost love. "I liked the whole concept, that this was something taught to them, and now it's being taught to me. I thought it would be cool to pass the tradition one more time." -Armstrong
"That was the key to us – not to just copy the record. Songs like 'Down in the Willow Garden' and 'Put My Little Shoes Away' – they're such dark lyrics. We thought we'd play that up." -Jones
Crown The Empire Release “There Will Be No Christmas” Lyric Video:
Drive-By Truckers Recorded Their New Album in Two Weeks:
"We made [the album] quickly. The last time we did a record it was like a two-year process that ended up being two records [Go-Go Boots and 2010's The Big To-Do], and then we spent three years touring behind all of it. That was something I guess we felt like we had to do at the time, but it's definitely not what we wanted to do this time – probably ever again. So earlier this year we said, 'We're gonna go in and just make a record in two weeks,' and that's what we did." -Patterson Hood
Google Glass Expanding Into Music:
"When the iPhone launched in 2007, it had a dozen apps on it and that was it. The whole app ecosystem didn't exist until people could invent for the iPhone. That's kind of where we are with Glass. Music is a big part of that." -Ed Sanders (Google Glass' director of marketing)
Ice Nine Kills Sign With Newly Formed Outerloop Records Label:

At Outerloop, we have always placed an emphasis on forming long-lasting partnerships with our clients in order to help them achieve their artistic goals. Using our extensive industry experience, we look forward to giving talented, hard working bands an avenue to succeed.” -Mike Mowery

TOM ARAYA: SLAYER's Music 'Is Going To Live Forever':
HP: And if that album doesn't materialize? What then? Could Slayer be killed off?
Araya: "I don't know, dude! I don't know. I don't think SLAYER will ever end, because our music is going to live forever. Our music will always be accessible to anybody that wants to hear it. When you talk about it like that, I think we'll be around for a really long time."
LAMB OF GOD: 'As The Palaces Burn' 10th-Anniversary Documentary Available For Streaming:
You can watch full documentary over at Qello.
"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 lightning in a bottle and the budget limitation of a sophomore album turned our lightning 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 its true potential." -Chris Adler
CONVERGE Performing 'Locust Reign' From 'Decibel's 100th Issue Show: The Movie' DVD:
Matt Good on the return of From First To Last and their new EP Kickstarter:
"Well, basically we went on hiatus in 2010, and it’s been quite a while. But every day when I go on my Facebook or my Twitter, there are always people saying, “Bring back FFTL!” There’s actually this group called “Revive From First To Last” or something like that, and they keep getting all these people to spam us all day. And we’re just like, “Man, I guess people still wanna hear some stuff.” I haven’t made any kind of rock music in a pretty long time now. I’ve actually just been producing bands; I have a studio now. It just kind of dawned on me a couple weeks ago. I was like, “Maybe we should do another record, since all of these people seem like they want to hear something, and we have the time.” It feels like a good time to do it. Everything, since we’ve started making these announcements has lined up perfectly in a way that’s almost unexplainable. I just feel like, for some reason, this is the best time that we could possibly do it. So, we decided to make a new record, and we’re going to do it through Kickstarter because we don’t have a label, and it’s a cool way for fans to feel like they’re contributing to something."
