Going Through Puberty All Over Again

For our first email this week, I can't quote you anything because the dude didn't actually include any text in his email. He sent me an email with "more theory of a deadman in formation" as the subject line. I'm going to take that to mean he wants to see photos of the band dressed up like soldiers. Well BamEp8@***.***, I'm not fueling your fetishes here. This blog is for my fetishes thank you. Now would someone please put a roofie in my bourbon?

Hi Dragonforce,
I'm Davide, I'm italian from Milano and I am 12.
I listen your music for the first time playing Guitar Hero 3.
So I bought your albums and now I'm your big fun.
Your music is very strong: everytime I hear it a big charge rises inside of me.
I love your rock music!
DAVIDE
P.S. I'd like to receive a your photo with autographs. Is it possible? If yes I send to you my address.
Thank you.

Hey Davide, going through puberty can be a hell of an experience for a young man. You may think you're big and rising now, but things probably haven't even gotten started yet.

My name is Matt Ray and i am coming to New York tommrow and was wondering if i could set up a meeting to discuss my music with you on Monday.So if you could email me back ASAP i would greatly appreciate it

First, we didn't ask to hear your music. Second, you didn't even send anything to listen to. There's an off-chance we might've been bored and given it a shot.

Third, and most importantly, you cared so little about your music that you basically threw together a slapdash email two days before you'd be in town. You can't even spell tomorrow for fuck's sake. It doesn't look like you care about your music. Why should we?

To whom it may concern,

I am writting to you in the hopes you can help me. My name is John, I am a fan of Nickelback. I am also an aspiring author. After seeing the music video for Savin Me a few months ago, I want to write a short story or novel using the idea behind the video. I have told small concepts to a few people and they are desparate to read it. I however will not start one paragraph without permission. The ideas I have would not disappoint. If you could put me in contact with the people who decide these things I would be happy. This is not a joke. I have several stories I want to work on but that is is center stage.

Thank you
John Hedger

John, do you know how many derivative works there are of The Bible? On television right now is a show called Kings based upon the Book of Daniel (NBC, Saturdays at 8PM, or at Hulu.com). Now, Nickelback are great, but if you can derive a story from The Bible I think you're okay basing a story off of the "Savin' Me" video.

NICKELBACK SCORES A HAT TRICK ON CTV'S JUNO AWARDS

Vancouver, BC (March 29, 2009) – THE 2009 JUNO AWARDS on CTV rocked Vancouver tonight during one of the most star-studded events in Canadian music. Nickelback cranked up the show with an incredibly pyrotechnic opening number; and it was clear from the start that it would be a night to remember for the 6X platinumselling rock group. With a #1 selling album, Dark Horse, Nickelback received the JUNO Award for Album of the Year (sponsored by Canadian Recording Industry Association), Group of the Year and the Juno Fan Choice Award (presented by Pepsi).

Highlights from the broadcast are now available on demand on The CTV Broadband Network at junos.CTV.ca. As well, MuchMoreMusic presents an encore broadcast of THE 2009 JUNO AWARDS on Thursday, April 2 at 8 p.m. ET.

The CTV broadcast was hosted for the second year in a row by comedian Russell Peters, who first appeared in a Bollywood/Breakdancing number and then went on to skewer musicians in the audience, from Loverboy and Sarah McLachlan to Bryan Adams and Michael Bublé.

One after another, Canada’s biggest names and most exciting recording artists graced The JUNO Awards stage to the delight of a packed audience at Vancouver’s General Motors Place. Presenters included Aaron Pritchett, Feist, Hedley, k.d lang and Kreesha Turner as well as a rare appearance by music’s power-couple Elvis Costello and Diana Krall, who together presented the last JUNO Award of the evening.

Seven JUNO Award statuettes were bestowed throughout the night including a win for indie-pop sensation Lights for New Artist of the Year (sponsored by FACTOR and Canada’s Private Radio Broadcasters), and rap/reggae chameleon Kardinal Offishall for Rap Recoding of the Year, taking home a second award after a previous win for Single of the Year at yesterday’s JUNO Gala Dinner & Awards.

The house erupted with applause when surprise guest Gordon Downie of The Tragically Hip joined newly minted Songwriter of the Year (sponsored by SIRIUS Satellite Radio) Dallas Green for an unforgettable performance of “Sleeping Sickness.”

The night was full of unique collaborations counting a triple threat segment by three of Canada’s hottest young stars Crystal Shawanda, Divine Brown and Serena Ryder who each performed their smash singles. Music icon Bryan Adams sang “Walk On By” with the help of JUNO Award nominee Kathleen Edwards on violin. As well, Canadian folk-rockers Great Big Sea teamed up with Hawksley Workman and world music group Eccodek for a show-stopping closing number and one of a kind musical experience.

Other electrifying performances came from Sam Roberts who tonight received the JUNO Award for Artist of the Year and yesterday for Rock Album of the Year, Sarah McLachlan, Simple Plan and The Stills, who won two JUNO Awards last night for New Group of the Year (sponsored by FACTOR and Canada’s Private Radio Broadcasters) and Alternative Album of the Year.

Famed music producer Bob Rock honoured 80s rock icon Loverboy during a special presentation. Members Mike Reno, Paul Dean, Doug Johnson, Matt Frenette, the late Scott Smith and Ken “Spider” Sinnaeve are the newest inductees to the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. Alongside multiple hit albums and more than 20 million records sold worldwide, Loverboy is perhaps best known for the resonating party anthem “Everybody’s Working For The Weekend.”

And what a weekend it was in Vancouver! Tonight’s CTV broadcast of THE 2009 JUNO AWARDS was the fantastical culmination of a four-day celebration of Canadian music that was packed with musical highlights, festivities, concerts and events.
