We’ve become fans of the dream pop Canadian act As The City Rumbles Underneath. The track “Some Like You” that comes off the Prophecies EP is catchy, upbeat & memorable. The band began releasing singles and videos that turned into their first EP, “Flowers from the Stars”. Their music has been featured on indie music blogs and podcasts. The song, “Hearts Expire” was featured in the TV show, “Degrassi-Next Generation” and the fashion publication Flare Magazine’s “Songs of Summer” Songza play list.

Everybody is bailing at Jay Z’s Tidal including Jay Z himself according to insiders. A mass exodus is happening even though Madonna recently said “this is just beginning for Tidal” in the beginning of the week. This failed venture has cost Jay Z millions of his own money according to sources. These Hollywood stars may figured out that ‘technology’ disruption has weakened ‘celebrity branding’. Throwing a celebrity behind a product no longer guarantees a successful launch.
Toronto act Smashing Satellites is off to a good start. The first official single, “Waterfall,” hit the top 50 on the U.S. Mediabase alternative chart and top 40 in Canada. The newest single ‘What It’s All About‘ will soon be released. The latest tracks were produced by Bob Marlette (Tracy Chapman) & Dave Bassett (Fitz and the Tantrums, Serena Ryder). The band just announced a U.S. Tour with IAmDynamite.

Many people cry when they meet celebrities, especially the ones who have a crush on that particular individual. The degree of devotion to celebrities can range from a simple crush to a delusion that they have an intimate relationship with the star which does not exist. In some cases, this can lead to stalking behavior. This can easily switch to hatred of the previously loved celebrity, and result in attempts at violent attacks, one notable incident being the death of Rebecca Schaeffer by a stalking fan in 1989.
