You know her life was saved by rock and roll
Riot Fest 2013 was my first Riot Fest. I bought a single day ticket and rocked out under the sun at Iggy and The Stooges, Dinosaur Jr., Rocket From The Crypt and The Replacements. Riot Fest moved to Downsview Park for 2014, which meant 4 stages instead of one. Which meant a LOT more bands.... Continue Reading →
If I designed a music festival, it would look like this. I could have done several more of these and I may yet. It's one hell of a fun way to kill an evening with a glass of wine. Want to create your own? Go to Create Your Lineup.
After a week of subzero temperatures, I've ended up with a cold. Not having a ton of energy yesterday, I spent the afternoon curled up on the couch with one of my cats while I treated myself to a viewing of Upside Down: The Creation Records Story. It's available on the US version of Netflix... Continue Reading →

Apparently, rock music is not longer cool, and no young person would want anything to do with it. I'm going on record as saying that I firmly disagree with this entire article. First off, rock is dead? Says who? No one under 40 listens to rock music? The all-ages show by The Kills that I... Continue Reading →

{{desc}} via New Swans: "Eden Prison". Here it is, the first track from the new Swans album that Michael Gira will grace us with on October 5. Was I apprehensive before listening to this? You bet I was. I love Swans, both the old pounding ear-bleeding Swans and the later, more orchestral Swans. Part of... Continue Reading →
