Raine Maida is back with his sophomore solo release, We All Get Lighter, slated for release on March 26th and recently chatted with Popblerd via phone about what fans can expect from the upcoming record.

It was just stuff that I was doing whenever […]

Hitchcock could have been a great film. Instead, it’s just a good movie, fun, but rather light, with an excellent cast.

Based on a wacky pulp novel by Gary […]
