  • New on the ‘nets this week

    Our weekly routine returns my fair readers, hope you enjoy the only slightly behind the now updates.  Remember if you are already aware of my trivial news, please consider placating me. Andy Hull’s “Right Away, Great Captain!” project released another winner this past Tuesday.  Hull’s magic in crafting a cohesive album is jaw dropping.  This…

  • Geri X – Another Friday Discovery

    So here is a “Friday Discovery” for all ya out there.  I can honestly say that I just discovered Geri X for myself and have been listening for the entire evening now (it’s Thursday night as I write this). Geri X can be described ultimately as “Folk” music.  This isn’t enough, just one word, she…

  • Deer Tick – War Elephant (re-issue)

    So just a quick one today as I am just on the go (or something along those lines) and I apologize for not giving this release the full attention and praise it should get.  The Album is “War Elephant” from Deer Tick, a great release from last year that was just re-released 2 days ago…

  • Scott Cooper’s Tiny Increments

    So, Remembrance Day is here (well in the Commonwealth at least) and on this day of reflection, I am sitting at home (no work today for me) and listening to something that almost got away from me.  The Scott Cooper beauty “Tiny Increments” from 2007. And I have to be honest about this as well. …

  • Frontier Ruckus – The Tower

    So I tend to obsess on artists I like, Frontier Ruckus being one of them.  Just so everyone knows, there was a lot of life prior to the latest release “The Orion Songbook”.  I most recently took a revisit to the first EP “I Am The Water You Are Pumping” when looking forward to the…

  • New on the ‘nets this week

    So I must apologize for yesterday, my webhost was having a bit of a issue with keeping me and many others “online”.  What’s the big deal, who needs to be online…..er, ah, freakin’ everyone!  Okay, let’s get on with some “new on the ‘nets” shall we.  The below snippets have been pulled kickin’ and screamin’…

  • We/Or/Me – Ghostwriter EP and other gems

    I have an EP that you should want to buy.  No, scratch that, I have an EP that you will buy.  I know this because if you are here, you are clearly a connoisseur of all things quality.  You will have no other choice to fork over your hard earned (or not so hard earned)…

  • Consider me there

    So received my tickets for the Martha Wainwright concert here in Calgary for November 30th and the Grand Theatre Junction.  Should be a good show all around.  But let’s get serious, Martha will be good (actually I am intrigued to see her show) but Brian will be what got me to be there in the…

  • hitide.lotide – The Forest

    I have a treat for you all today, in the project of Nate Gruber and his cast of friends that make up this Wisconsin forest that is Hitide.Lotide. Gruber is a multi-instrumentalist and you can tell this fact from the music he creates.  It is however difficult to create such sounds outside a studio if…

  • Slowcoustic Song of the Week

    Just so everyone knows that I now have a song of the week, and folks this is it. I have recently picked up the Callers Album “Fortune” that was released this past August and fully missed them if it weren’t for my Western Vinly playlist.  The more I listen, the more I enjoy this album. …

  • Dustin Gamble

    So in lead up to J. Tillman’s new album being released tomorrow (wow, I think I must have a man crush on Josh, due to the last few posts…), I have a bit of a “J. Tillman in the making” in Dustin Gamble for your listening pleasure today. I stumbled across Dustin’s MySpace profile while…

I did include a track from the new J. Tillman – Vacilando…
