From the CTV Website;

"Spectacle's wild circus mix of interview and performance returns to the younger side of the musical mosaic with this fascinating familial portrait. A group of young artists who hail from sometimes famous show business families take center stage on their own : Jenny Lewis, Jakob Dylan and the indie duo She & Him (singer-songwriter-actress Zooey Deschanel and guitarist/producer M. Ward). Elvis' interviews explore both their current musical adventures and their earliest family influences. Musical performances include Jenny Lewis and Elvis getting together for a song from her new album (which EC played on), Jakob Dylan playing a primitive, stripped-down version of a Wallflower song before sharing a duet with Elvis, and She & Him, according to the Sundance website, "showing off their intriguing, timeless sound". The program comes to a rousing close with Elvis and the all the guests "hooking up for a fitting finale on one of the host's signature hits".

Encore presentations of CTV's Friday night broadcast airing on Bravo! Saturdays at 8 p.m. ET and Sundays at 6 p.m. ET.

Friday Cheese 'Kish - Rhyme the World in 80 Days'

I spent the afternoon listening to R3's Lanarama pondering songs for the my revival of The Friday Cheese Show for the blog. As if the rock'n'roll gods were listening, in-between Canadian indie gems and discovering Amanada Putz was eating cold seafood chowder, Lana manages to play 'Drop the Needle' by Maestro Fresh Wes. Instantly I remembered Kish, Canada's answer to Vanilla Ice. Of course all my thoughts are unoriginal. Frantically googling for all things Kish, I discovered the fine bloggers over at Herohill had profiled Kish two years ago! It seems that even the most indie-cool bloggers enjoy the cheese.

Chromeo - "Nice N Clean" - Yo Gabba Gabba

Sometimes internet side trips take interesting turns. Tonight, my adventure turned to YouTube and the strange childrens world of "Yo Gabba Gabba". With regular segments featuring Biz Markie (Biz's Beat of the Day) and musical guest like Montreal's electrodiscoporn act "Chromeo", it's evident that the shows is a brilliant mix of children's programing and the world of indie rock.

Marilyn Manson: Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon

It's been a long time since I actively listed to Marilyn Manson. Along with most fans of the music of his era, I've gotten over my teen angst. Listening to the first single 'Arma-Goddamn-Motherfuckin-Geddon' it sounds like he is out of ideas. In his latest single, he revisits his early sucesss ripping off his hit 'Beautiful People'. In fact, I'm sure if I could of heard this single in 1996, I would of given it a favorable review. It's not bad song, really it's a great sounding song. But this is 2009. The Kingdom is closed, I'm old and cranky and Mr. Manson, your boring.

P.S: According to the reviews , most critic blogger-types feel the same way.

Your liver pays dearly now for youthful magic moments.

I've always been a big music geek. For the last 8 year or so, I've thought about devoting some www love to rock and roll. Through the hype of blogs, podcasts, youtube, facebook and now twitter, I've known there is outlet for my musings. Recently, I have been using facebook and friendfeed to post my online musical finds.. But that medium is limited to friends and honestly they really don't seem to give a shit what sort of hipster rock I'm in love with today.. So rather then shut up, I've decided to go for a bigger stage. Here's to another rock and roll blog...
