“The heart of a cur keeping time with her bedroom eyes.” ~JLL The upcoming album from Jeffrey Luck Lucas entitled “The Lion’s Jaw” should be out any second and from the few tracks I have heard it is going to be another incredible album. This is a top album in the “looking forward to in…

Gareth Dickson’s Sunday Morning.
Just a quick post on Gareth (although he is deserving of more) – I simply needed to put this out there as I was listening to his “Collected Recordings” this morning and had to post. There has been fewer perfect moments than a tranquil back yard on a Sunday Morning…the yard half immersed in sunlight…

Saturday Afternoon with Brent Randall & his Pinecones. We all seem to get along.
So to further my effort for a bit of a “pop” infused Saturday, I bring another pseudo brit-psych-pop group, but this time from Halifax. Come on seriously, it couldn’t be anything other than that with the album cover above, could it? In all honestly I am trying to not be as much as a purveyor…

Saturday Morning with Papercuts. Not as painful as it sounds.
San Francisco’s Papercuts is sound tracking my start of vacation Saturday Morning. You can’t start all crazy and sometimes it is nice to start with something that you haven’t heard much of. I have been meaning to spin the Papercuts recent album “You Can Have What You Want” for a while now, so why not…

Horse Feathers do in fact have a home
…it is over at HearYa, with the newly released live session with Horse Feathers recorded in early May 2009. If you like Horse Feathers, you will love this session. The use of instruments: the aching of the violin, the pining of the saw, all along Justin Ringle’s voice holding you transfixed. These live session tracks…

Basket of Figs – Dead Language
Back again with the new EP from Basket of Figs. This Toronto phenom is known for her EP releasing (maybe an album upcoming….maybe…) and they all are self released and incredibly dark, stunning lo-fi experiences. I have said it before and I will say it again, you feel drawn into her voice, it is like…

John Goraj – A “Possible” Interview
Well folks it is more than “possible”, it is in fact a post and interview with John Goraj. Some may not know of this northern prairie boy, but you just might need to. I first heard John Goraj when fellow blogger Olivier over on You Crazy Dreamers put a post on him, and I took…
