This Turn It Up Tuesday we’re going with Dear Rouge’s 2017 album, Phases. If you’re Canadian you probably know Dear Rouge’s songs even if you don’t recognize their name. You think of, like someone said to me before I went to their show on Saturday night. “I really like that one song of theirs.” But …
Tis’ the season of Christmas music, which I to be perfectly honest, don’t like one bit. I try to avoid going into stores as much as possible, and if I do, it’s a quick trip. So needless to say, this week isn’t going to be a Christmas album….really. This Tuesday’s recommendation comes in the form …

This Tuesday’s album comes from U2, in the form of 2004’s How to Dismantle and Atomic Bomb. It’s an album that seems to me to be overlooked in the vast catalogue of U2’s work. It’s hard not to be when there’s Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, Boy, The Unforgettable Fire…and so on…and on. But it’s this …

This interview has been edited for clarity and flow. “It’s going good. Obviously if we get cut off, you’ll know why and hopefully we can try a little later.” Get cut off we did. The mountainous BC interior got the better of us, that Wednesday evening. Luckily for Posen and his team, Vancouver gave them …
“This chicks kinda weird.” That was my take after the “Just Dance” video ended. Boy did myself and the two people I was with have no clue what was to come. The term “meat dress” didn’t exist in the world. Ah…a simpler time. Nobody has or will most likely ever describe me as a pop …

It was my grandparents house and I was over there one afternoon. I was sitting watching Much Music, as most teens found themselves doing when bored. About 30 seconds into a song, my uncle came in and said “Is this Metric?” I shrugged and said, “sure…” to which he replied “these guys are good.” He …
