Nardwuar for the Junos
nardwuarforthejunos.blogspot.com - Although he may not be as well-known as some of the other past hosts of the Junos, few people champion the Canadian indie-music scene like Vancouver's gonzo-journalist, Nardwuar. Along with his encyclopedic knowledge of rock 'n' roll, Nardwuar hosts a weekly radio show on Vancouver station CiTR, has a monthly column in Chart Magazine, and is a regular on MuchMusic. With a grassroots campaign already underway to get the popular West Coaster to host the Junos in 2009, you can follow Nardwaur's quest on this recently launched blog. If you're on Facebook, make sure to join the Nardwaur group and help spread the word.

Ghosts

Along with offering various price points and download options, Reznor has also uploaded nine tracks to various BitTorrent sites such as Pirate Bay.
