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 […]

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 […]

One Second 2 Late “World Timebomb” - Video

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Nickelback "Gotta Be Somebody" #1 on Sirius Iceberg Channel

I have to admit, that I didn’t see this coming!  This new Nickelback some “Gotta Be Somebody” really surprised me.  It’s got a real upbeat, 80s sound to it.  I can’t put my finger on what it sounds like exactly (my mind keeps going to Richard Marx but it’s more than that).
Anyway, people must […]
