Nickelback has released their new song as a free download to everyone who wants it. It’s a tactic used by Coldplay and worked out pretty well for them. Time will only tell if it will help them sell more records…not that Nickelback needs help with that. I believe they sold 20 Ka-Jillion copies of their last record so it will be interesting to see how this one does. They are such an over saturated band that no one can escape. Their songs are far reaching format-wise and if it seems like they are everywhere - it’s because they are.

In all honesty, I met Chad Kroeger when he was in Lethbridge last and the guy was super nice to us. He took us backstage into an area that normally we couldn’t go, just so that we could have a quiet place to do an interview…gave us drinks and food. So due to his kindness towards me and my co-workers I take that into account when I view the band. His songs are catchy and very radio-friendly. With that said I’m not getting to a point where I’m tired of the Standard Music Structure of: Verse / Chorus / Verse / Chorus / Chorus / Chorus. Maybe it’s because I listen to so much music and song lyrics make up 95% of my brain power (the other 4% is for girls and 1% is for pizza).

Do I like the song? No.
Will this song be played on the radio? Most likely.

But more importantly…What do you think of the song?

Michael Moore’s new movie SLACKER UPRISING (one you may remember from a previous post) is now out and available for download. I know it’s about American politics, but it should act as a reminder that YOU should make sure you vote in the election we have going on in this country as well. Download it, Burn it, Email it…Yes It’s Legal.

Didn’t see this coming:

(from MTV.COM)

“After years of speculation and rumors about his sexuality, Clay Aiken has apparently confirmed that he’s gay in the forthcoming issue of People magazine.”

Who could have known??? I mean really..the turtleneck sweaters, the scarfs, being found in bed with men - I just wish we had some kind of warning. Please, someone invent some sort system that uses electromagnetic waves to identify people who take part in such a life style…like Ray-Dar…and then give it a clever name..

..something tells me this was the best part

or this:

Travis Barker from Blink 182 and DJ AM from…something…were in a plane crash on Friday where 4 other people died and they escaped with their lives. Scary Stuff!

Pamela (Lee) Anderson has done an interview recently saying how she will not hire a maid because she loves doing house-work.

She says, “It’s really important for me as a woman to do stuff that keeps me grounded. I like to vacuum and do laundry.” And “It’s really important to me to make sure I can still look after myself. I don’t want to feel helpless.”

So goes on to say how she never keeps that much money in the bank and lives paycheque-to-paycheque because she “loves the experience of struggling a little bit”.

Is it really a struggle when each paycheque is $40,000? (I have no idea if it’s really 40,000..but you get the point)

New Rock from Kings Of Leon. This band was once asked by U2 to open up for them and they turned it down cause they didn’t want to seem like sell outs. I have a few of their albums..all good stuff.
