David Foster and Katharine McPhee on The View

David Foster was on The View earlier this week where he accompanied former American Idol finalist, Katharine McPhee, on the piano as she sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."  David, of course, was great but I was not overly impressed with her vocals.  I am not completely sure what he sees in her.  I think her […]

David Foster and Friends CD/DVD Released

David Foster is one of my favorite Canadians celebrities.  I think the man is gifted beyond words and has not only done much to showcase the talent in our nation but he has contributed to the richness of music around the world.
He, along with some major stars, created a once-in-a-lifetime experience which you can now […]

Nickelback Releases "Dark Horse" Album

Alberta rockers, Nickelback, have released a new album called "Dark Horse."
The first single is "Gotta Be Somebody" which is good but I think there are better tracks on the album.
The songs, well, sound like what you would expect from Nickelback but I think they are really good.   I really like "Burn It to the Ground" […]

Stompin’ Tom Releases 50th Album!

The Canadian music legend, Stompin’ Tom Connors, has released his 50th album and I just think that is a remarkable achievement.  I don’t know if I can do 50 pushups but this man has managed to make that many records. 
His latest, The Ballad of Stompin’ Tom, features 16 tracks (12 new) which focus […]

Erik Mongrain Releases "Equilibrium" Album

Have you heard Erik Mongrain’s music?  His unique and distinctive lap tapping guitar work is just incredible (and I’m proud to say that he hails from Montreal, Quebec - my original hometown!).  There’s a real emotion to his playing that I immediately connect to.  It’s really special!
Last week, he released his second album Equilibrium […]

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, […]
