Review: Ladies & Gentlemen... The Rolling Stones (1973)
Posted by: Mike Walkey • September 24, 2010 @ 3:47pm
Like many, I discovered the Rolling Stones as a young adolescent. The energy, the power, the sexual angst. I identified with it all and it shaped the man I am now.
I was 15. But this was not 1964.
It was 1994.

After an amazing opening weekend, the 2010 TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival continued on throughout the week and closing weekend with a series of concerts from great performers and, generally, just a lot of fun!

After offering up a "preview concert" last Wednesday night featuring living legend Sonny Rollins (a show I unfortunately had to miss because I was out of town), the newly-named TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival officially kicked off this past weekend.
One of the most unpleasant trends in directing, especially in music footage, is the tendency of directors to show what they want the viewers to see, instead of actually capturing what is going on.
Album Review: Christopher Lee - Charlemagne; By the Sword and the Cross
Posted by: Lawrence Lee • May 9, 2010 @ 6:05pm
Charlemagne; By the Sword and the Cross is a concept album where Christopher Lee sings in the role of the dying King Charlemagne reflecting on his life. The album attempts to be epic, but fails miserably, due to several factors, despite having Christopher Lee's incredible voice.
When I first sat down to listen to Emme Packer's double album, Earlier, Later, I was feeling very much in the mood to listen to Bon Iver -- you know, it was a typical rainy, grey November day in Vancouver, and I wanted something gentle and melancholy -- and before I was halfway through the opening track, Hey, have you heard? We're having a contest. You--yes, you--can win your very own copy of Canadian singer-songwriter Jeffery Straker's third full-length album, Step Right Up. And you should enter, because you want this CD. What grabs you first about Toronto songstress Emma-Lee's debut full-length album Never Just a Dream? The dulcet tones of her voice and the mellow vibe, for starters. As an avid fan of 80s hair bands for a number of reasons including the emotional highs of power ballads, the bombastic choruses, and, most importantly, clean, high male vocals (the cleaner and higher the better, at least for this subgenre of metal), I was quite anxious to see what the newest Night Ranger album, Hole in the Sun held. The prolific John Mellencamp returns with his 20th studio album as a man with a lot on his mind and a heavy heart. Fortunately for all of us the world over with heavy hearts, there is such a thing as blues music. Here, the former Mr. Cougar has mastered all manner of blues styles, from Southern blues, to folky blues, to blues rock.
