What Side Are You On… Are You Sure?
“I’ve always voted for…” On May 2nd, Canadians will once again be heading to the polls. One would think we should be getting pretty good at this by now.

New Season of ‘Mad Men’ Delayed Until 2012
Just as I was becoming a fan, I found out that Mad Men, one of my new favourite shows (I know, it took a while for me to catch on), will delay the start of their next season until 2012 – all due to ongoing contract negotiations between Mr. Matt Weiner, the creator of the [...]
The Blue Stones Break into the Music Scene on the Wings of Talent, Technology and Twitter Talk
Windsor, Ontario – An unsigned musical duo may just find themselves signed before too long, thanks to a video and viral publicity campaign built around new iPhone technology… and their talent of course.

On the Eve of Finding Juno
The Canadian’s version of the Music Awards – the Junos, have always inspired me in the past – when I actually had time to catch it on TV. But it was never a ‘must have’ on my list of things to do until I watched Lara Fabian perform Love by Grace in 2001 (yikes – [...]

One Year into its Debut and InRetro Radio Makes Top Ten

Last month InRetro Radio topped the charts for ‘Most Listened To’ and ‘Best Sound Quality’ within three categories on Live365′s network of radio stations – Singer/Songwriter, Adult Album Alternative, and Folk Rock.

Let it Rain… for Today.
We get so busy in our everyday lives, we forget how to enjoy the simple things. Like the rain. It’s nearly 1PM and it hasn’t stopped since this morning. But as I work alongside my favourite cup of coffee, the sound of the drops on the window pane give me a certain sense of calm. [...]
