Congrats gotta out to my boy Bryan Winchester, aka Braille, who in his spare time from ripping on microphones, runs Hip Hop Is Music. An album they quietly put out a few months back, Future Classic by DJ Balance and Surreal, recently hit the number-one spot on the CMJ charts in the United States and number one on the Earshot charts here in Canada - quite a feat considering the album doesn't even have Canadian distribution yet. Good job, fellas, all around!
Reports have been "confirmed" that Green Day will appear in the upcoming Simpsons movie. Which I will pay to watch. Oh yes. Happens maybe three times a year, me actually paying for a movie. [antimusic]
A band familiar to Canadian rock fans is getting their break in the US of A: Montreal act Mobile have been picked up by southern California label The Militia Group(Copeland, Cartel and more), who will release Mobile's debut album Tomorrow Starts Today on July 24th in the States. The band has already gone gold here in Canada and are fast closing in on platinum status, and I really regret not seeing them at my college's campus bar last fall when I had the chance. Good luck, guys.
