Month: January 2010

Who said emotion and guts had anything to do with music? The Gunshy did, damn it.

I start to absorb the photo and then I have to listen to some Gunshy. Have to. So I start playing a couple of tracks and one of the tracks…has everything and also gives you everything…

Who needs a new album? Bill Patton frickin’ does.

This guy just seems to keep coming up on my daily listening adventures due to his great “Gets It On” album from a few years back.

Song(s) of the Day from “a singer of songs”

The album is overflowing with ballads meant to be merely whispered to the one next to you…often accompanied by a piano and/or a lone guitar strummed at half speed…

The Moonband guides me through the “open space” of my Sunday

You may get the impression of some progressive post rock epic, but in turn you get a warm collection of acoustic folk and indie pop and even a touch of Americana to finish it off.

Matthew Ryan gets RAW with new video series

Matthew Ryan is doing something that I really like. Taking his songs and giving us intimate and unique versions of them by recording them in (so far) intimate and unique locations.

A recommendation to me, now for you all: Olds Sleeper

Something I like is getting a recommendation for something that catches you off guard. Olds Sleeper did just that – Fringe country at its best.

Akron Family perform “Crickets” on They Shoot Music

They Shoot Music is a great impromptu “music-a-la-video” series and a new session with a favourite of Akron Family has surfaced that is really great…

New on the ‘nets over the last bit

Sit back, grab a steaming hot cup o’ joe and dig into some items I have noticed over that last couple of weeks that deserve a mention.

I will always love The Mountain Goats.

…bands have a shelf life because let’s face it, often musical tastes change as you age. There are also factors such as mood, location, social circles that tend to influence the music you are listening to…

If You Haven’t Heard: Aaron Espe

Deft use of harmony alongside a bounty of acoustic guitar go a long way. Mix in a bit of piano and stories about small town life and you have a great idea of an Aaron Espe song.
