But I Just Like Music

We’re super psyched about this weekend’s Homegrown Fest, the little fest that could that’s celebrating its 4th year of rocking out in Main Street Garden. As attendees of the original Homegrown Fest, it’s been great to see it grow. This year’s lineup is nothing short of awesome, and with the setup, you don’t have to [...]

We here at BIJLM would most definitely actually produce an album, if given a chance and made fully aware of what exactly an executive producer does. Heck, we’d probably actually be in a band, if we had any musical talent. But we don’t. So we have a blog. The O’s, however, have OODLES of musical [...]

It’s no secret that we absolutely, without a doubt, 100% love Freelance Whales. I’d even swear it on the grave of Nickelback’s career (RIP, 2003). After waiting a looooooong time, they’re finally releasing their new album Diluvia on October 9th, which makes me one happy Sissyphis. Even better? Their 2nd show after this epic and [...]

We’ve all been there. Even if you’re the hippest of the hipsters, the sultan of Spotify, the viceroy of vinyl, you go to a show and there’s a song you want to hear from the headlining band. Heck, it might even be a (gasp!) single. Don’t worry – we’re not judging you. The band releases [...]

Think about the worst thing that could ever happen to music. Got it? No, trust me, it’s worse than Lana Del Rey’s SNL performance. Take a deep breath, and read on… Canadian “musicians” Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger (of Nickelback “fame”) are engaged. Yes. To be married. Now, while this will likely lead to the [...]

Friday night found us at The Prophet Bar for what I can confidently say was my first soundtrack-based show. The Drive Tour brought together 3 of the bands from Ryan Gosling’s recent epic, yet slightly disturbing, film. College, Anoraak and Electric Youth definitely brought the dance party, even if some of the DJ sets fell flat. [...]

If you thought last year’s Danzig breakdown and Slayer melt-your-face-off extravaganza couldn’t be beat, guess again. Fun Fun Fun Fest just released their most epic lineup leak yet: That’s right: a Run-D.M.C. reunion at this year’s fest. Heck, the full lineup isn’t even out yet, and we’re pumped.

Guys, we have some sad, terrible news to break to you. In fact, you may want to get a whiskey drink, vodka drink, lager drink and/or cider drink. No longer will we be singing the songs that remind us of the better times. Chumbawumba is no longer. The most fascinating part about this breakup isn’t [...]

There are a lot of things you can do to show what kind of person you are at a show. You can wear a band’s shirt, for example (which makes you That Guy). Or you can dance like a lunatic (which makes you… a lunatic). Or, you can order a drink, which says the following [...]

As I’m sure you all know, we had tons and tons of fun fun fun at last year’s Fun Fun Fun Fest. Well, they’ve begun slowly but surely leaking their lineup for this year. Today’s announcement has us totally pumped. Hit the video for more, or scroll down for our spoilers. The amount of excitement [...]
