  • Have a Slowcoustic New Year!

    So nothing to post today as it is December 31st and I need to try and entertain the wife while not spending more than my mortgage payment and not end up being disappointed regardless.   You know what this means….take out and a movie!! Seriously, have a great New Year and all the best in the…

  • Bringing you up to speed on Travel By Sea

    Travel by Sea.  One of the most interesting stories I have heard in a while, well heard a couple of years ago at least.  One that I always like telling as it is a great one. It goes a little like this…two guys who have never met record some music and put it together.  It…

  • New on the ‘Nets this week(ish)

    So I have been out of the loop a bit with the holidays and such, and I have been a bit behind on catching up with what is going on in the world of music blogging lately, but here we go on another “New on the ‘Nets this week” post. ~~ Received my copy of…

  • Seagull

    Seagull is not a band nor a boy, it is a sound that comes out of your speakers to remind you of your first love and how much you thought you knew. That description comes from the Two Bright Lakes page in the bio for Seagull, a band, sorry, a project from an Australian foursome…

  • School of Seven Bells – Video, Songs and Links!

    So another quick post, but this one is chalk full of media.  School of Seven Bells is a band I have wanted to post on for a while.  The album is still in the listening stages at Slowcoustic Headquarters, but it is climbing up the in-house charts. Let’s open up with a nice acoustic video…

  • I’m a bit slow and possibly daft – Frightened Rabbit!

    So as this post title goes, I am a bit slow and possibly daft (emphasis on the “daft”) as I have just started listening to the newest Frightened Rabbit album – “The Midnight Organ Fight”.  Did I mention I might be daft? I have been listening since mid last week or so and I have…

  • Well, I guess this is the holidays then?

    So here we are on December 25th and I have slipped away to get online (sparse during this time of the year as sitting next to the glow of the world wide web is not considered festive….pardon me??).  So basically just a quick post to say thanks to all those readers and vistors of the…

  • Slowcoustic Essentials – Shearwater

    Part two of the Slowcoustic “Essentials Series” with the phenomenal Shearwater.  While not extensively all mopey singer songwriter material that many might expect for Slowcoustic – this is some great down-tempo stuff – you will find something on every single album since their beginnings in 2001 that is worth calling a favourite. The beginning as…

  • If You Haven’t Heard – Finn Daniel

    Here we go back on board with the “If You Haven’t Heard” posts and the newest installment of great finds – Finn Daniel. Finn Daniel is a singer songwriter who hails from the UK and has some impressive tracks and a new EP entitled “Settle”.  His sound is pretty classic singer songwriter that leans towards…

  • Song, by Toad presents…pretty damn good music.

    I have finally got around to adding a new member to the blogroll – of this ever elusive list of who’s who… ;-) and so I have with Song, by Toad!  I have mentioned in the past that I enjoy this certain blog by the Toad (mentioned here) and I was oblivious to the fact…

  • Best of the Best as seen by You Crazy Dreamers

    Here we are with more great lists, lists of great music and from great friends.  The good folks over at You Crazy Dreamers (of which I blog for as well – check us out!!) have provided a list of some solid music from the last year.  The list while put together from Olivier, with input…

    So here we are with the “best of” guest bloggers week on Slowcoustic with our good German connection – das klienicum! Blogger “E” from das klienicum, has provided a wealth of information on his top music selections of 2008 and believe it or not, this may be hitting the pages of Slowcoustic prior to being…
