After CBC lost the Hockey Night in Canada theme to CTV (honestly, it completely broke my heart - it’s like our country’s second national anthem!), they created the “Hockey Anthem Challenge” in hopes of finding the next great theme song. Have you entered a song or found a favorite? If so, I want to [...]
Each Wednesday, I’m planning to discuss a pioneer in Canadian music. This week, I’ve selected Geraldine Hunt. You may remember her best from the track “Can’t Fake the Feeling” which stayed at the #1 spot on Billboard for seven weeks in 1980! It’s funky and filled with hot guitar-licks and is basically everything you [...]
I have been reading reports about the federal government cutting $20-million in funding to the DFAIT administered program PromArt (Promotional Arts) and the Department of Canadian Heritage administered program Trade Routes.
The cuts are supposed to take place on March 31, 2009.
I think that, if this goes through, it would be on of [...]
WOW! What a summer for the Barenaked Ladies! First, frontman Steven Page gets arrested for drug possesion and now this!
Ed Robertson was in a float-plane crash in southeastern Ontario! He and three others survived after the craft plummeted into trees. According to the Ontario police, the plane lost speed on take off and went [...]
I’m not even sure what I think about this. I blogged about Avril Lavigne’s clothing line “Abbey Dawn” last month and was pretty neutral, I guess, but now I’m just annoyed. Does everyone have to have a clothing line? Does Avril really need one? Do you think people actually want to contribute to the world [...]
Avril Lavigne’s on-stage dance moves are not sitting well with Malaysia’s Islamic opposition party. They are so disturbed by it that they have asked the government to cancel her upcoming concert (set for August 29th in Kuala Lumpur). Apparently, the Canadian punk princess is “too sexy” for them.
The department is expected to meet sometime [...]
Doesn’t Sarah McLachlan look beautiful at the BC 150 Festival??? I just love her! Haven’t seen enough of her lately, though. Again, I didn’t get to go to the event but I heard she was great! Check out these pictures!

Canadian singer, Feist, was at the BC 150 Festival earlier this month and I was fortunate enough to have a friend who attended and gave me some pictures (click on any of them to enlarge).
Did any of you have a chance to go? I was in California at the time (plus I live in Calgary [...]
Belly joined together with Ginuwine for this song, “Pressure” off of Belly’s 2007 album, “The Revolution.” The song peaked at #10 on the Canadian Hot 100 Chart. I’m not a huge fan of this song, but I can see why it got popular in Canada. The song changes drastically at about 3:25. I almost thought [...]
Brooke White, who is most famous for being a finalist during this past season of American Idol covered Canadian singer, Feist’s famous song “1234″ recently. It’s a great fit for her voice, I think. Watch the video:
