Make sure you stop at your favourite magazine shop (no, Chapters isn't your favourite magazine shop) on your way home from work/school/whatever to pick up the latest issue of Under the Radar. BSS, Metric, Feist, the Dears, Stars, Tegan & Sara, New Pornographers, Black Mountain, the Cons, K-OS, Wolf Parade, and a bunch of other Canadian bands are featured.
DJ Premier (of Gang Starr fame) is spinning at Atlantis on December 1st. If you're into hiphop, you probably already know what kind of influence he's had on the genre, so I'll spare you the explanation.
The NME reports that Jack White will be doing a commercial for Coke. Says Jack, "I certainly wouldn't want a song that I'd already written to be used on a commercial... But to be asked to write something particular along one theme of love in a worldwide form that I'm not really used to appealed to me." If he had just said he was doing it for the money, I probably wouldn't throw stones, but this "theme of love" thing is a little rich. Coca-Cola's been spreading their brand of love all over Latin America, perhaps Jack should read up on it.

So I watched Ryan Adams last night on Letterman, and I was blown away.
He's been one of those artists I always say "I need to check them out" but never get around to.
I was wondering if you could recommend an album or two of his to get me started.
: )
definitely Heartbreaker.
