Myles Erlick Releases Major-Label Debut Single, “sweat”

Today, Canadian singer/songwriter, producer, dancer, Myles Erlick, releases his major label debut single “Sweat”, out now.

Erlick initially gained recognition as the title star Billy in Billy Elliot the Musical on Broadway and next as a series regular playing Noah on world-wide hit television series The Next Step. He then caught the eye of director Steven Spielberg and was cast as an ensemble lead role in the upcoming remake of West Side Story. This role of a lifetime couldn’t stop the grind, “it was a good opportunity to help inspire and perfect my craft,” says Erlick. “If I wasn’t on set or rehearsing, then I was in the recording studio.”

The first result from this furtive creative period is “Sweat.” A blood-pumping banger, “Sweat” is the debut of what Erlick calls “Myles 2.0.” This new era will surprise and delight fans with tight production, and raw physicality.

Myles Erlick is a Canadian singer/songwriter, music producer, actor and dancer. Making his professional debut at 11, starring in Billy Elliot: The Musical on Broadway, the quadruple threat has since featured in the Disney series, The Next Step, and is set to take centre stage in Steven Spielberg’s film adaptation of West Side Story.

But from the moment his grandmother first taught the young Erlick to play classical piano, it’s been a love and appreciation for music that captured his heart.

With his 2017 single, “Serious,” (over 1.2 million views on YouTube) the budding artist proved his musical chops were as tight as his dance moves. A debut album, “ME,” soon followed, charting on iTunes’ Top 100 global pop albums.

It was around this time that he caught the eye of uber-director Steven Spielberg, who cast the heartthrob as an ensemble lead Jet in his upcoming remake of the classic musical, West Side Story.

In typical fashion, not even a role of a lifetime could stop the budding artist’s grind: if he wasn’t on set or rehearsing, Erlick was in the recording studio, perfecting his craft. The first result from this furtive creative period is “Sweat.” A blood-pumping banger, the track is the genesis of a sonic and visual evolution; the debut of what Erlick calls “Myles 2.0.” Inspired by Justin Timberlake and Michael Jackson, this new era will surprise and delight fans with crisp production, impressive choreography and raw physicality.

National Music Centre launches Legacy Vinyl fundraiser

The National Music Centre is excited to launch the Legacy Vinyl Campaign on July 1, and give supporters another opportunity to add their name to the iconic Studio Bell building, known as the home for music in Canada.

The fundraising campaign begins alongside Canada’s 153rd birthday and Studio Bell’s 4th anniversary, and will run until December 31, 2020. Music fans are invited to support Canada’s music legacy and inscribe their names on a vinyl record that will be placed on the walls of Studio Bell.

By donating to the Legacy Vinyl Campaign, NMC supporters can purchase a custom 7-inch or 12-inch record and engrave a special message on it. Vinyl record displays will remain mounted across multiple levels within Studio Bell for a duration of 10 years.

Consider supporting through the following tiers:

45 RPM Single Vinyl ($250): 7-inch vinyl, 20-character inscription, 10-year display duration, tax receipt
Gold Vinyl ($500): 12-inch vinyl, 30-character inscription, 10-year display duration, tax receipt
Platinum Vinyl ($1,000): 12-inch vinyl, 50-character inscription, 10-year display duration, tax receipt
Diamond Vinyl ($2,000): 12-inch vinyl, 50-character inscription, 10-year display duration, tax receipt, exclusive Level 5 ‘Best of Canada’ location

NMC has made many significant impacts on the community since opening Studio Bell in 2016. In 2019 alone, NMC welcomed nearly 183,000 guest visits to Studio Bell (up 21% from 2018), enriching the lives of visitors through music and drawing cultural tourism to the city. NMC inspired over 15,500 school students to learn through music, presented over 240 concerts and events, hosted over 40 artists for professional development programs and residencies, and launched three major exhibitions, among many other achievements.

“We want to thank our community for their support and resilience over these past few months. Before closing the doors of Studio Bell in March, NMC had just celebrated its most successful year yet. It will take time to get back to where we were before the pandemic, but we are confident that we’ll get there in time with the support of our community,” said Andrew Mosker, NMC President and CEO. “Your purchase of a vinyl record helps support the vibrancy and sustainability of NMC and ensures that we can continue to amplify the love, sharing, and understanding of music for many years to come.”

Visit studiobell.ca/legacy-vinyl on July 1 to buy your custom vinyl record and support Canada’s music legacy.

The special will feature one Short List nominee revealed every 15 minutes along with music from the nominated albums and insight from Polaris jurors.

For the safety and well-being of the Polaris community, Polaris has chosen to not host a winner Gala event this year. Instead, we will be celebrating the Short List with a special cinematic tribute happening October 19, to be broadcast in Canada on the CBC Gem streaming service, CBC Music’s Facebook, Twitter and YouTube pages and around the globe at CBCMusic.ca/Polaris. The 2020 Polaris-winning album will be revealed live at the end of this event.

For this special, Polaris will be actively considering Canadian filmmakers to create commissioned films honouring each Short List-nominated album. An application form for interested filmmakers along with more detailed information about this project can be found at the Polaris Music Prize website.

The Polaris Music Prize awards $50,000 to the artist who creates the Canadian Album of the Year, judged solely on artistic merit, without consideration for genre or record sales. Additionally, the nine other nominated acts whose albums make the 2020 Short List will receive $3,000 each courtesy of Slaight Music.

Albums eligible for 2020 Polaris Music Prize consideration must be released between May 1, 2019 and May 31, 2020. An independent jury of music journalists, broadcasters and bloggers from across Canada determines the Long List and Short List. Eleven people from the larger jury pool are then chosen to serve on the Grand Jury. This Grand Jury will select the Polaris Music Prize winner.

The past winners are Haviah Mighty (2019), Jeremy Dutcher (2018), Lido Pimienta (2017), Kaytranada (2016), Buffy Sainte-Marie (2015), Tanya Tagaq (2014), Godspeed You! Black Emperor (2013), Feist (2012), Arcade Fire (2011), Karkwa (2010), Fucked Up (2009), Caribou (2008), Patrick Watson (2007) and Final Fantasy / Owen Pallett (2006).

Bloodshot Records releases digital-only Pandemophenia featuring Murder By Death, Laura Jane Grace and more on Bandcamp

Bloodshot Records released their digital-only compilation, Pandemophenia, via Bandcamp today.

17-song digital rarities compilation featuring limited or never-before-released songs by Murder By Death, Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers, William Elliott Whitmore, Jon Langford, Kelly Hogan, Barrence Whitfield and the Savages, Freakwater, Robbie Fulks & more artists from the Bloodshot stable.

Featuring original songs, b-sides, alternate versions, acoustic tracks, and covers of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Motörhead, Woody Guthrie, Nick Lowe, and Chuck Ragan.

The label says, “The world is hunkered down, socially distanced, tearing apart and pulling together. Studios are closed, tours are cancelled, and festivals just seem terrifyingly stupid. Cramming into a stuffy club to have friends and bands alike sweating and shouting all over the room? Not us, buddy, and hopefully not you either. Not until tides turn; not until science, empathy and common sense re-emerge.

“We count ourselves among the fortunate who have some spare (though worry-filled) time on our hands. And with that time we scoured the vaults to bring together this collection of heretofore unreleased or hard-to-find tracks from the Bloodshot gang of wayward music makers—who miss you just as much as you miss them.

“It thrills us to share what we found when we rolled up our sleeves and spelunked the catacombs of our ramshackle office (well, we’re not sharing everything we found down there; some of it was pretty gross). There’s everything from alternate versions to oddball songs that didn’t quite fit an album, to cover songs, and more. We’ve been itching to release a lot of this material since it was archived as “b-sides” or “outtakes,” but could never find the right reason or the right time to bring them all together.

“And then the shit hit the fan.

“Pandemophenia is a thank you to all the fans who have been so supportive during this challenging time. It is something positive to enjoy and something for the artists to share with the world while they’re grounded. And, of course, hopefully it’ll put some cash in their alarmingly empty pockets.

“Getting these artists together on one release, in a time when we can’t all be together, is special in and of itself. It’s a reminder of the simple, but profound, joys music brings to us, individually, and as members of a missed community.

“So, enjoy! Stay safe, stay smart, be well, tip your “bartenders,” support independent businesses and artists of all kinds, and take care of yourselves and your neighbors.

“We’ll see you when this storm passes.”

Pandemophenia track list:
1. Jason Hawk Harris “I’m Not There Yet”
2. Ruby Boots “Keeping Me Alive”
3. Banditos “Keep on Smilin'”
4. Kelly Hogan “Homewrecker”
5. Ramblin’ Deano & Jon Langford “Quarantine Rock”
6. Murder By Death “The Moon Is Up”
7. Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers “This Land Is Your Land”
8. Robbie Fulks “Seventies Jesus”
9. William Elliott Whitmore “New Skateboard”
10. Cory Branan “Wish on the Moon”
11. Jon Langford & Skull Orchard “Old Devils” (Live at Small Chicago)
12. Barrence Whitfield & the Savages “Dream of June”
13. Ha Ha Tonka “Rendezvous”
14. Freakwater “Frayed and Bare”
15. The Yawpers “Ace of Spades”
16. Scott H. Biram “Baby in a Well”
17. ROOKIE “Hold On Tight (Acoustic)”

3 Things About FanDuel

As of the moment, fantasy sports is becoming more and more renowned in the United States, and one of the most popular providers is FanDuel. After some thorough research, we found some interesting facts about them that are worth sharing to every fan or basically anyone interested in trying.

Below are 3 things about FanDuel that most people probably aren’t aware of. Check this article to expand your knowledge about the platform.

1. FanDuel is ranked as the second largest fantasy sports provider in the U.S.

An interesting fact about the New York City company is that they are the second largest fantasy sports providers in the U.S. They are in second place next to DraftKings. They are doing well as a company, but weren’t able to catch up to the first major provider to come on the scene yet because they got their start a little later. The ranking was based on a comparison of the entry fees paid and the number of participants in the user base.

2. FanDuel was officially founded in the year 2009

On the 21st of July 2009, FanDuel became official. The company was established by five co-founders, namely Tom Griffiths, Rob Jones, Chris Stafford, Lesley Eccles, and Nigel Eccles. The sports betting company was a turning point from a news prediction site that used to be called Hubdub. The new company took more than a year to firmly stand on its own and be established to begin operations. In 2010, they held their first Fantasy Football Championship, which was the start of an enterprise that would blossom into something greater in a short period of time. They became a second option to other bettors next to DraftKings, which was the first company to offer fantasy football services.

3. FanDuel and DraftKings got sued

The two fantasy sports giants were accused of engaging in practices that were considered to be deceptive and unfair by the Massachusetts Attorney General’s office. The allegations claimed that they started doing these practices before 2016. Each of the companies settled the lawsuit, costing them a whole lot of cash. In the end, DraftKings and FanDuel each paid an equal amount of $1.3 million just to settle the matter. Even though the amount was a big deal, neither of the company suffered monetarily. The may be billion dollar businesses, but the damages made were not good for the reputations of either company.

Final Words

With FanDuel being one of the most popular platforms for playing daily fantasy sports online, you can play around a relatively wide variety of contest types on the famous sports leagues in the U.S. The platform offers contests for the NFL and college football, the NBA and college basketball, the MLB, and the NHL. You can play fantasy games for soccer (around the English Premier League), golf, tennis, and even NASCAR as well. It has become bigger over time, giving bettors more fun and entertainment along the way.

Great Tips For Buying Jewelry For Your Wife

Buying jewelry for a spouse gives you a chance to make your loved one feel loved and appreciated. It isn’t necessary to spend a lot on the gift if you cannot afford it. However, choosing a gift that represents her and her preferred style can make her feel special and bring a smile to her face. Reviewing great tips for buying jewelry for your wife guides you through the process.

What is Her Favorite Gemstone?

Gemstone selections are often based on what gemstones are her favorite. When buying jewelry for a spouse, it is necessary to know what gemstones are most appealing to them. This bit of knowledge will make the gift more special to the recipient. It will show that the buyer knows important details and appreciates their loved one.

Too often, buyers choose the wrong gemstones and don’t get the best reaction from their spouse. Paying close attention to what gemstones catch their eye the fastest helps the buyer find a unique piece of jewelry that their spouse will love forever. Buyers who want to find gemstone jewelry for their spouse can head to Adina’s Jewels and browse the full inventory of gemstone jewelry right now.

What Type of Metal is More Appealing?

Choosing the metal for the jewelry defines how strong the jewelry will be and how long it will last before it needs repairs. Titanium and platinum are among the strongest metals for jewelry. However, the metal selected for the piece can increase or decrease the cost of the item dramatically. These two metals are considered the more high-end selections for jewelry.

Platinum is the best choice for wedding rings or anniversary bands. This is because it will secure gemstones more effectively regardless of their weight. It is less likely to become bent like gold. Reviewing all metals allows the buyer to make a well-informed decision about the jewelry purchase.

What Designs Does She Wear Most Often?

The jewelry style the special lady gravitates toward shows the buyer whether they should buy a ring, bracelet, necklace, or earrings. It is the pieces that the lady wears most often that should help the buyer make this choice. Selecting a style she wears more often ensures that she will wear this new piece often and get more use-value out of it. It is great to buy a wife a beautiful piece of jewelry, but it is even better to find something that she will find practical and wear more often.

Does She Like Elegant or Fun Jewelry?

Her own unique style defines whether she prefers elegant jewelry or fun patterns and designs. It is necessary to find pieces that will coordinate with her outfits and improve her overall look. Women select jewelry that brings status and makes them feel more beautiful. These styles could range from more prestigious choices such as pearls or diamonds to more fun and careful styles such as delicate pendants that feature bold colors or even her name. Reviewing these options helps the buyer find something that will appeal most to their wife and make her smile.

When buying jewelry for a spouse, it is important to know exactly what they like. This helps you avoid situations where she preferred something far different. Answering these questions helps you find the best option for your wife and brighten her day immediately.
