New location for finding out about Calgary’s Music scene – via Culture Bully! Oh, and a couple of mp3’s from Calgary’s own Chad VanGaalen.
Two recommendations from bands that slow it down for their first appearance on Slowcoustic. Cavalier Rose and The Longwalls provide the music, dig in.
Monday playlist featuring The Middle East, White Hinterland, Emily Jane White, Ghostkeeper, Glass Cake and Share!

Upcoming Damien Jurado album “Saint Bartlett” gets a advance promo track (mp3 included). The album will be released May 25, 2010!
Enjoy two recommendations for today for “Lisa Will Insult You, Darling” (with mp3) and “Evening Chorus” (with new video)!
Round up of some recent happenings alongside some upcoming events with a few musical offerings for good measure!
Bowerbirds show me (by mere coincidence) that they are cheering for Canadian Olympic Gold….yeah, that’s it…

Jihae’s “Best Thing” Video…I miss summer. Here in Calgary, it is getting colder, darker and wintery. Although as a Canadian, it isn’t really that cold, but still, there seems to be less “frolicking through the fields to the local pond for a dip”…and in saying that, I give you summer.
