Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - Wig Out At Jagbags

January 31 2014 // Magazine // Music Reviews

Wig Out At Jagbags is the sixth album released by Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, and while this LP doesn't necessarily push any musical boundaries, it's a fun and playful ride. It's indie music without the dour sensibilities. It's the kind of attitude frequently attributed to youthful exuberance but is often, as in this case, expressed through longevity and maturity. 

Monogrenade's Jean-Michel Pigeon on the Commonwealth Conundrum

January 31 2014 // CJLO

To introduce this week's Commonwealth Conundrum show, we'll take you back to 2011... It was a Wednesday, and a then-redheaded Rebecca was flying solo at Canuck's Kick It when she interviewed this chap about his band's new album Tantale!

Now Rebecca is welcoming back Jean-Michel Pigeon, lead singer of Monogrenade, to talk about their new album Composite, which is going to be released next Tuesday. Time flies when you are having fun, especially on The Commonwealth Conundrum show.

Culted - Oblique to All Paths

January 27 2014 // Magazine // Music Reviews

I feel like I've not been doing my sovereign duty as a "Guy who-listens to rad new metal (preferably-Canadian) and then shares it with the world," a GWLTRNM(PC)ATSIWTW if you will. Here we are knuckle-deep in 2014 and I'm still listening to last year's music! As a grown-ass adult, however, I have long ago mastered the art of deflection, so here goes...

Iced Earth - Plagues of Babylon

January 23 2014 // Magazine // Music Reviews

Happy 2014 minions of metal, and what an excellent start we are off to so far. I'd be selling myself short if I claimed to be anything less than an avid fan of Iced Earth, and Plagues of Babylon has been like Christmas and New Year's all over again for me, at once! Now, before I start salivating and probably bore you with things you don't care to hear, let's start with a few facts.

Alejandra Ribera on the Commonwealth Conundrum

January 22 2014 // CJLO

Her voice is so unique that she took Rebecca's breath away when she heard Alejandra Ribera at the M For Montreal's Sofar Sounds at Nomad Nation this past November. Her new album La Boca is set to be released February 4th, and her song "I Want" has already created a huge stir, so it's no wonder that the Commonwealth duo is thrilled beyond measure to have Alejandra on the show this Friday at 4:30pm...
