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 rather 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!
Concert review: Neil Young (mostly) let the music speak for itself at Massey Hall:
Lest his good mood fool, Young’s appearance was the first in a series of Canadian shows aimed at raising awareness and money for the legal defence fund of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN), whose treaty he believes was violated by the Canadian government in the pocket of Big Oil. Unlike some of his socially conscious contemporaries, however, Young sculpted his performance with respect to both his cause and the audience.
Proposal for official music strategy would put Hamilton on the map, insiders say:
"It will mean that someone is going to help lobby for provincial funding, federal funding, making sure that Hamilton's on the map." - Mike Renaud

Bachman-Turner Overdrive to be ushered into Canadian Music Hall of Fame:
"As in any family, as in any band, as on any team, as in any relationship, there are bound to be ... differences. And some of the differences are irreconcilable and some of them are really tiny, stupid, little petty things and some of them are big things. But as time goes by and you grow up as an adult ... you look back at it and go: 'Wow, the guy was an absolute jerk and guess what? I was a jerk too in my own way.'
All the little differences that cause a band to break up or one guy to leave ... looking back at it, you go, oh yeah, he was a jerk, I was a jerk, he was a goof, he was always late, he was a maniac, he spent all his money, whatever.
What in the end matters is, in our own way, we went out ... for our own little period of time, we became something. A band that other bands wanted to be like." -Bachman

Intervals To Release New Album “A Voice Within” This March, New Preview Available:
“A Voice Within” is scheduled to be released on March 4th, 2014.
Beats Hooks Up With AT&T to Help Pay for Your Music:
For Beats, this is a mainline to millions of AT&T subscribers, plus a payment model that piggybacks on a monthly bill they’re already paying. That’s important because paid streaming services have had trouble convincing American users to buy in, and Beats isn’t offering a free version. A subscription to Pandora’s premium ad-free service, Pandora One, costs just $4 per month, but the company still says it doesn’t expect many people to pay. Rather, it hopes to make most of its money from ads on its free service.
Amnesia Rockfest Announces Partnership with Festival d'été de Québec Following 2013 Festival Fallout:

We are investing huge sums and we are doing what's needed to effectively manage the growth that the event has experienced over the last few years. We are committed to surpassing the smooth operation and logistics of the first seven years." -Alex Martel
Tom Morello Plotting Solo Rock Album:
"I want to make the craziest guitar record that anyone's ever heard. The idea is that this is the Hendrix of now. Until then I'd kept my folk singing career and my electric guitar shredding career completely separate, it was on that stage that I realized there might be a way to combine all the things I do as a songwriter and a guitar player, and this record is going to be that." -Morello

10. We Were Younger Then
11. Nothing At All
"Through the years I've tried to stay pretty cryptic because often times it's easier not to have to explain yourself but on this record I was very direct in the sense I tried to use the simplest way to get an idea across. In the past I don't think I ever would have let a song like 'Like You Do' go on an album because it's so heartfelt in a simple way and I also think it's actually one of the first love songs we've ever written." -Adam Lazzara
HELLYEAH Plotting April Release Date For New Album:
“HELLYEAH has really come into this record with a hunger. They’re putting everything they have into it. They’ve really impressed me both with the tracks they brought in and with their drive to make them even better. I think they’ll really be delivering their best record yet to their fans and they’ll be making new believers out of others. 2014 will be the year of HELLYEAH!” -Kevin Churko

"What conflict could run so deep that it takes you to the deepest corners of your inner world?
Today we are surrounded by a lot of lies, aliases, and people acting like they are wearing an invisible crown — but you better have thick skin if you want to wear this crown!
'Broken Crown Halo' is a cinematic album that could be the soundtrack of our days — it is a dark vision of a near future when survival is second nature, and failure is not something to be avoided, but rather cultivated with lessons learned along the way." -Lacuna Coil

'The Simpsons' Creators Right A Wrong: 'JUDAS PRIEST Is Not Death Metal':
"After last week's episode aired, much of the metal community showed its disapproval online, making it clear that JUDAS PRIEST is not, and never has been, a death metal band. Word evidently got back to "The Simpsons" creators, who made amends by having Bart scrawl the words "Judas Priest is not 'death metal'" repeatedly on the chalkboard in the introduction of this week's episode."

Whitechapel Hoping To Crowdfund $35,000 For New DVD:
“To our fans, friends, and family. We are coming to you today to ask for your help in funding a full-scale Whitechapel DVD release through Indiegogo, which we have been hard at work on since January 2013. We’ve been filming non-stop, documenting our lives on the road as we have been touring the world and have a great amount of live performance and backstage footage.
Our DVD will consist of a behind the scenes/documentary portion about the band as well as a portion with professional live video and audio. We decided to make a DVD after the well-received attention of our Spring Tour Documentary in 2013, and what better way than to get our amazing fans involved with this task directly via crowd funding. This campaign is not our way of asking for a hand out, simply asking for help from our fans to create a special DVD that will make memories for us all. Please join us in our campaign to make the best Whitechapel DVD possible!
Some of the contribution perks will include a digital download of the audio from the live portion of the DVD, DVD + T-shirt, DVD + hoodie, DVD + Poster, Signed Mic by Phil Bozeman, and Private Screening with the band in Knoxville.
A very big thank you to all of our fans, friends, and family for all of your continued support. With your help we will be able to bring you the best possible Whitechapel DVD, which will not disappoint.”
