Well thank you Johnny Mathis, just go ahead and break my heart.... and just in time for Valentine's Day.
I am officially annoyed. Work has blocked my streaming site, so I am forced to listen to my ipod instead of constant new releases. Damn it. I will try to find a way around this, perhaps I will have to start going through my phone.....god I just don't know.
Needless to say I haven't been listening to much new music this week or for the past few weeks for that matter. It doesn't help that work has been insanely chaotic.
I have stumbled on a few things that I adore, so I thought I would share.
First off (and rightfully so) Motorhead makes wine. i was going to try to describe it, but I'll let Lemmy take care of this.
My advise is — approach it with caution. I mean, wine is deceptive, anything can happen.

Looks like they have a whole line of liquor, and why shouldn't they. Plus I don't think you'll find better packaging. Click on the image to go to the website:
Good News for Juno fans, Michael Buble is hosting. Say what you will about his music, but the guy is funny. I think he'll be a great host. I am even considering going this year. Even the creepy image of him sandwiched between Chavril isn't enough to distract me.
Tickets are on sale on Feb 22, so I have to decide sooner than later.
New Canadian "supergroup" (yeah the quote are on purpose, because I just don't know if we can legitimately call them a super group) The Mounties have appeared on the scene. Hawksley Workman, Steve Bays (Hot Hot Heat) and Ryan Dahle (Limblifter/Age of Electric). I really dig the single Headphones, and can hear each of their influences, which in my opinion is the way a merging of talent should be.
Check it out:
No offence to the guy who is blogging about the new Queens of the Stone Age being star studded. Other than Sir (or Dame) Elton John, I don't see how it should be news that Dave Grohl is on the album.
Insert sarcasm) What? Dave Grohl? Seriously? Cool, I totally have to check that out. Wow, I never dreamt they'd work together. What? That's not all, seriously...Nick Oliveri? Really? He's on there two, that's just crazy.
Piss off.
I cannot give my opinion on all of these but here are some CD's coming out this week. I say some because the whole list is not great, but these are a few I think you should give a try either because I know they're good (Ron Sexsmith & Coheed and Cambria) or I have read good things about them (Richard Thompson & Eels):
- Boats – Cannonballs
- The Bronx – The Bronx IV
- Coheed and Cambria – The Afterman: Descension
- Eels – Wonderful, Glorious
- Frightened Rabbit – Pedestrian Verse
- Guards – In Guards We Trust
- Jim James (of My Morning Jacket) – Regions of Light and Sound of God
- Misfits – DEA.D. ALIVE!
- Richard Thompson – Electric
- Ron Sexsmith – Forever Endeavor
- The Shilohs – So Wild
- Sigur Rós – Valtari Mystery Film Project
- Thao & the Get Down Stay Down – We the Common
- Thomas D’Arcy – What We Want
I seriously hope I can get back onto the listening wagon. Keep your fingers crossed for me. In the meantime, listen to some old music. I heard some Johnny Mathis last night, and it reminded me of the beauty in his voice.
