Jay-Z’s Made in America Festival Returns with Some Good Acts It looks like Jay-Z’s Made in America festival wasn’t a one-shot cash grab – it’s now a two-shot cash grab. The rapper has curated the Philadelphia festival once again, slated...
It’s Canadian Music Week in Toronto which means there’s six days of music-related events, booze-filled events, and expos “dedicated to the expression and growth of the country’s music, media and entertainment industries” (via indies.ca). One of those events is the...
Hot on the heels of our Soundgarden concert review from Toronto comes more Soundgarden news. The band have another video off of recent album, King Animal. Bonus: Dave Grohl directed it. Musically, the song By Crooked Steps rocks hard (detailed...
Halloween is my favourite holiday of the year. You get to dress up in outrageous and hilarious outfits, while a lot of girls wear very little clothing, AND you get free candy – what’s not to like?! If you’re unattractive,...
London 2012 Twitter Problems This relates to music (and technology) and not sports – honest! Twitter is 6 years old, meaning it was just a baby 2 year old at the Beijing Summer Olympics. With huge growth in the past...

He Just Won’t Stop: New Paul McCartney Album 69 year old Sir Paul has a new wife. With new found inspiration, The Cute Beatle (as I like to call him) has also recorded a new album. The album will be...
Jay-Z to Stop Selling Occupy Wall Street Shirts; Will Change Diapers At Home Unfortunately those sentences separated by the semi-colon are not related, or else it would be funny to see Jay-Z retreat home to do that. After being ripped...
U2 roll into Toronto (actually, Larry Mullen Jr was spotted in trendy Yorkville yesterday) to play the Skydome Rogers Centre. Since it is such a nice day, maybe they will play with the dome open, like they did 2 years...
