Here’s the official music video for the song “World Timebomb” by One Second 2 Late, off of their album entitled after this single. The album was released earlier this year and is their debut CD. I like the beat of the song and the message of it. The video for is interesting too. Check it out below.

Remember when Nelly Furtado was not making music that sounded over-processed, over-mixed, over-synthesized, over-sexualized or over-Americanized? Yeah, me too and I miss those days. Her songs used to have meaningful lyrics and actual melodies.
Take 2004’s “Try,” for example, from her album Whoa, Nelly! This isn’t my favourite version of this song but it’s still a lot more honest and beautiful than the stuff she’s making now. What I love is how this song almost starts like it’s going to be acoustic then slowly builds and the emotion is undeniable. How many times have you felt like all you …read more

The Black Lungs is fronted by Wade MacNeil who is also the guitarist for AlexisonFire. I’m guessing he just wanted a side project to be able to be the lead singer but it hasn’t been the most successful venture – all of the members of the band have quit so, when they tour, Pat Pengelly from Bedouin Soundclash will be playing drums, George Pettit from Alexisonfire will be playing bass, and Haris Cehajic from Moneen will be playing piano.
I have to say that, based on the song “Hold Fast (Sink or Swim),” I’m not terribly impressed. I really applaude Wade’s …read more

On November 3, 2008, one of my favourite shows, Video on Trial, will air its’ 100th episode on MuchMusic. There have been times, and I am not even exaggerating, when I was in the worst mood and watching the jurors tear videos to shred just perked me right up (ha ha!). I was thrilled when, this past April, I was able to meet Trevor Boris at the 2008 Juno Awards. He was just as sweet and funny as I had hoped.
On the Much site, it describes the episode as follows:
For the first time ever, all your favourite VOT jurors are …read more

Wow. With the U.S. presidential elections just a little more than a week away, I got a real crack out of this weekend that pokes fun at some of the world’s most recognizable politicians. You’ll see appearances from Barack Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, President Bush and even personalities and stars like Anderson Cooper, David Hasselbeck and Alex Trebek (and many more!).
It’s a good thing the video is so entertaining because it distracts from the repetitive, banal song. I am hoping that it is just because it is a remix but I have no desire to ever hear this song …read more
MTV LIVE, which is hosted by Daryn Jones (remember him from the hilarious show Buzz?), has been honoured with a Gemini Award for “Best Talk Series.” The daily talk show offers up a healthy dose of satire while reporting on the news, trends and pop culture. It was nominated against MTV’s The Hills After Show and CBC’s The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos.

I have to admit that Toronto-based punk rock group, Die Mannequin, is not my style but I know there are Canadians out there who love them. It’s not their genre that I dislike but I think that their songs, like “Saved by Strangers,” are just really plain. Anyway, the track originally came from their 2007 EP Slaughter Daughter which was eventually absorbed (along with their 2006 EP How to Kill) into a single album, Unicorn Steak, what was released this year.
I just think that they try too hard to sound “punk” and it comes off seeming cheesy. In case …read more

High School Musical star, Vanessa Hudgens, apparently was so excited to meet her idol, Canadian (and international) singing superstar, Celine Dion, that the 19-year-old could not contain her emotions. She recently admitted: “If it wasn’t for Celine Dion I wouldn’t actually be singing. And when I met her she was so sweet and she actually knew me by my first name. She walked past and said ‘Bye Vanessa’ and I completely freaked out. I was so excited I think I squealed a bit. Looking back I am so embarrassed.”
Awww! I think that is pretty cute!

I love my Nintendo Wii and one of my favorite things to play on the Wii are their sports games. Whether it’s Wii Sports, Mario and Sonic at the 2008 Beijing Olympics or even just NHL 2K9, I love the action games!
Now, I have heard that a new game called “Celebrity Sports Showdown” is ready to make its’ debut and it features famous people playing a variety of sports. Our very own Avril Lavigne is featured playing badminton, for example. Some of the other stars include Keith Urban, Fergie, Paul Pierce and Mia Hamm (I’m guessing she plays volleyball …read more
