Marilyn Manson
Shock rocker/actor/presumed killer of babies Marilyn Manson has a new album out called The Pale Emperor.
The rather hard rocking record appears to be an excuse for Manson to engage in some deep reflection, including about who owns his soul.
He told me all about it in an interview for Huffington Post Music Canada.

Miles Davis
Imagine a world where Kanye West decided to stop everything he did and cut a tribute album to Jon Jones.
It seems far-fetched, but its equivalency kinda happened in 1971 when jazz superstar Miles Davis recorded the album A Tribute To Jack Johnson in honour of the heavyweight boxing champ.
It wasn’t Davis’ only boxing connection and Sarah wrote about them for Fightland.

Yo Gabba Gabba hugs
National Hugging Day to place this past Wednesday so we used that as an excuse to create a list of great songs about hugs.
It turns out most songs about hugs are related to a) actually hugging trees, or, b) old blues songs where the word “hug” is a euphemism for another kind of physical act.

Dan Mangan + Blacksmith
Dan Mangan’s vigorous new album Club Meds might take folks who consider him a simple CBC folkie by surprise.
It’s punchy, bold and a little bit dangerous thanks to the help of his official backing band, Blacksmith.
He told me all about the album’s creation and its themes of tuning out/purposely not tuning in for Huffington Post Music Canada.

Steven Seagal
After Sarah’s recent encounters with some passionate, though charmingly misguided Steven Seagal devotees, she tasked herself with getting to the heart of the true Steven Seagal.
This proved very difficult.
Instead, what resulted was 32 separate stories about Steven Seagal, which she wrote about for Fightland.
