PapaFahr – New Release in May, Slowcoustic Approved
Again, I don’t know if we are dealing with Sweden or Norway here as I am getting conflicting information and honestly I am not completely familiar with the area. One thing I am not conflicted about is the upcoming album from PapaFahr. I know what you are saying…who is this bearded Norwegian Swede (not pictured)? …

The Wheat Pool – Country Rock from the City of Champions
So last night I went out. Yes, I went out to mingle among the people, to feel the night air in my lungs, to hear the buzz of a crowded club and pounding of a kick drum. Yes, I enjoyed live music here in Calgary (rare for me, as I find not too many “known”…

Slowcoustic Celebrates A Birthday With Exclusive Track!
Okay, not a Slowcoustic Birthday – we are but youngster in the blog world, but there is a birthday that needs mentioning. The birthday is actually Friday, April 17th and it is for the lady love of a Slowcoustic Favourite – Samuel Stiles. You may remember him from the post here, but lets not lose…

Things You Find When Not Looking – Frightened Rabbit
Just a quick find that I apparently was oblivious to. My story goes while looking into some “off the beaten track” songs from Windmill (mentioned previously here) as I am looking forward to his new album, I came across an Australian compilation from “The Lifted Brow”. I discovered via the website that TLB is more…

From One Albertan to Another, Well Kinda – The RAA.
Not that I am getting on board the Rural Alberta Advantage late, but I am getting on board late. I have been listening for about 6 months now, but haven’t posted prior – maybe I felt with myself being in Alberta made it kind of hokey. Well hokey or not, The RAA deserve a play…

I am not going to tell you that I have been a fan for years and I am excited for the new release “Spring Tides” from this Swedish foursome, but in fact I now am excited having just started listening. After a few spins to the lead off promo track, I think I am going…

“Make it up to the bands I don’t cover” Mixtape
So in thinking to myself the other day, I started to put too much weight behind thinking I was an “indie” music blogger. I was thinking about the fact that I do consider myself an “indie” blogger more or less, if in fact that term is still relevant this day (for example, when is “indie…

I Will Be Listening to Garrett Pierce This Weekend.
So one of the benefits of music blogging is musicians and labels and people in “the biz” tend to know each other and recommend back and forth to themselves AND you. The good thing is often artists of the same ilk will fall into same circles, discuss with same folks and recommend each other. Not…

Things I Know and Things I’m listening to.
Sorry for the no post yesterday, just lost a bit of love for the blog for a day, what can I tell ya? Well there might be a day or two that gets missed this long weekend as well due to an “over-nighter” with the Mrs. for a couple of nights HERE. It pays to…

I’m Going to The Deep Dark Woods Next Week, So There.
So Friday, April 17th, 2009 I am taking the Mrs. to see some good ol’ Saskatchewan Countrified Canadiana (or SCC as we know it) in The Deep Dark Woods. This is going to be good. I already think “Winter Hours” is a top 10 album (or top 5) at this point and with the immediate…
