Happy St. George’s Day! Let’s listen to some English bands…

April 23rd, 2013

So, today is St. George’s Day.

(Read here to try and understand why.) To pay [...]

Some people might be looking for some life-affirming music, some might want tunes to throw a party to end [...]

Over the years, Nardwuar the Human Serviette has provided the music community with some of the most memorable interviews ever put to tape. One interview that has always stuck with anyone who caught it airing on MuchMusic’s Going Coastal back in 2003 was when Nardwuar interviewed Blur for the second time. That day was a [...]

Blur ready to “switch a tape recorder on”

February 3rd, 2011

Ever since Blur reunited for a handful of dates two years ago, the desire for some new music from the former Britpop champs has only increased over time. The band gave fans an olive branch last year on Record Store Day with a one-off single, “Fool’s Day,” but nothing more. That might soon change, however, [...]
