The Order Of Good Broken Social Scene

Jason Collett and Kevin Drew

Jason Collett and Kevin Drew

So there’s this event happening in Toronto tonight called the Juno Concert Series. It’s basically a musical variety show where three bands: Arkells, The Beauties, and The Order Of Good Cheer each take a turn playing for an hour with a pile of special guests.

The whole point is to do cheeky covers of classic Canadian songs in the lead up to the Juno Awards.

Anyway, Aaron talked to the members of The Order Of Good Cheer about their set because they’re tight with the Broken Social Scene guys and Jason Collett and Kevin Drew from BSS are going to be performing and they’ve hinted that they’ll be debuting a new song so it’s a kinda big deal and… whew… deep breath.

Forbidden Dimensions In Rue Morgue

Rue Morgue issue #119

Rue Morgue issue #119

Takin’ it back to the old school, Aaron recently had a record review of Calgary horror rockers The Forbidden Dimension published in issue #119 of Rue Morgue magazine.

That’s right. A magazine.

They still exist and they provide a giddy tactic thrill when you read them on the toilet.

To figure out how to get this blood-churning publication, go here.

P.S. Harry Potter’s on the cover for some movie or other. That’s important, right?

The Iron Sheik: Music Critic

The Iron Sheik

The Iron Sheik

If you’re of a certain age you’ll remember The Iron Sheik. That jabroni Hulk Hogan stole his belt. Hak! Phew!

Well, in an era that isn’t the ’80s, one of professional wrestling’s greatest villains has found a new forum… Twitter. And there’s no way Hogan’s stealing his belt there because he’s the undisputed champion of ridiculous, hilarious threatening tweets.

Mostly he spends his time making fun of Hulk Hogan, calling the Ultimate Warrior raisin dick and telling people he’s going to fuck them and make them humble old country way, but recently he’s been branching out into music. He’s tweeted about Chris Brown, Kings Of Leon, Whitney Houston and a whole host of others.

Sarah pulled together some of the best tweets for AUX TV. You can read the story by clicking here.
