Kardinal Offishall’s “Set it Off” was already a hit but new life has been breathed into the hot track with the remix featuring raps by Dr. Dre and Clipse’s Pusha-T.
According to Chart Attack, the remix was supposed to be released earlier this year but was pushed back along with Dre’s long-awaited album Detox.

Canadian singer, Alanis Morrissette, made an appearance on Rosie Live last night. The show, created by Rosie O’Donnell, was supposed to be a throwback to the old variety shows that we used to love (think Sonny & Cher). I haven’t read one good review and I’m disappointed to say that my PVR didn’t record it and I can’t find many videos online yet.
Apparently, Alanis sang "a song referencing the 12 Steps in front of… an endless loop of geese flying through a sunset." Wow… That sounds very unfortunate (yikes!). If I find a video, I’ll …read more
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 timing is weird (although, it has improved since her days on Idol), she lacks control and she is just so over-the-top. I like the tone of her voice but that’s really about it.
The pair worked together on David Foster and Friends which is now …read more

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 own on CD/DVD.
The Hit Man: David Foster and Friends CD/DVD features performances by:
Andrea Bocelli
Michael Bublé
Josh Groban
Celine Dion
Katharine McPhee
Kenny G
Peter Cetera
Brian McKnight
And more!

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 mostly on what it’s like to be a Canadian. Gotta love that! It also includes freshly recorded versions of old classics like “The Hockey Song,” “My Hockey Mom” and “The Olympic Song.”

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 and I’m sure it’s fantastic. To learn more about the album and listen to clips, visit the On Target Media website. I love the cover art (see below) too. If I get my hands on a copy, I will definitely review it here.

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
