The Trailer Park Boys’ Guide To Music

Trailer Park Boys

Trailer Park Boys

While you weren’t paying attention, Bubbles, Julian and Ricky, the reprobates that make up the Trailer Park Boys, have gone international.

Thanks to a new deal with Netflix for multiple seasons and a cussin’ movie called SwearNet the boys are poised to critical mass. That, or at least get the opportunity to get drunk and stoned in strange places.

With this in mind I had the opportunity to talk about music with the Boys for AUX. Some of the topics covered: Rush, Loverboy, Shania Twain and the trailer park hip-hop genre.

Not included in the interview: my attempts to get them to compare Joel Plaskett to Groot.

9 Retro Canadian Albums Making A Comeback

Honeymoon Suite

Honeymoon Suite

There was a period in Canadian music long before Arcade Fire were cool and Sum 41 were on Vans Warped and Edgefest was crossing the country… and that was the ’80s.

Truthfully, not a whole lot of good came out of that era, besides maybe Blue Rodeo, The Tragically Hip and, like, The Box or something. It was an era where all the worst stereotypes about major label music manifested themselves in the form of physical product.

As a fascinating archeological exercise, some of the albums from that period are getting re-released. As such I took a look at these albums and compared them to iconic figures from that era. Namely Gowan, Sebastian Bach and Randy Bachman.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor Win Polaris Prize

By now most good musicos are aware that Godspeed You! Black Emperor won the 2013 Polaris Music Prize.

We also know how that turned out.

What folks don’t know is that because of a combination of indifference, content hoarding and a dismal sense of history on the part of previous Polaris Gala broadcasters, this is the first time you can actually go back and watch the full awards show broadcast without worrying about it disappearing from the internet.

So please go back and watch the telecast via Aux TV if you haven’t. I was responsible for writing a solid seven per cent of the dialogue that came out of co-hosts Kathleen Edwards and Shad’s mouths.

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.
