Flashback Friday: Nelly Furtado "Try"

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 [...]

The Black Lungs "Hold Fast (Sink or Swim)"

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 [...]

Celebrate 100th Episode of Video on Trial

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, [...]

MTV Live Wins Gemini Award

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 [...]

Die Mannequin "Saved by Strangers" - Video

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 [...]

Now, I have heard that a new game called “Celebrity Sports Showdown” is [...]
