Old Smog (and new Bill Callahan) on tap for my Sunday
Just getting into the new Bill Callahan album “Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle” which is due on April 14th through Drag City. While it is definitely Bill, it is a new Bill Callahan – He might have soared like said eagle and just maybe moved on from the classic Smog sound. Okay,…

Ladies AND Mens Night – “Gender is not an issue” playlist
As a Canadian, one has a reputation to protect. Other than the obvious traits such as good looks, massive talent in winter sports, ability to intake an entire pint with a “sip” there is the other one. We are nice people. With that in mind, how can I continue to be sexist in my playlists…

Trespassers William new EP preview – “Sparrow”
So the new EP “The Natural Order of Things” from Trespassers William will be released on May 25th and it is another great ambient electro-indie folk collage. While I tend to like most of TW stuff (come on, “Different Stars” and “Having” were great) and tend to fall over backwards at any chance I get…

Recommendations to me – Nathan Xander. Recommendation from me – Nathan Xander
So I get a recommendation – I get a lot of recommendations – but this one was from someone that I trust and someone not looking to “sell” me on anything. I take the recommendation, I listen. I listen some more, and I like. I like a lot. I am a firm believer that music…

Modicom’s “Ice Storm” makes an appearance in Calgary, more or less.
So remember when I bitched out National Geographic for showing a ridiculous photo of a snowy Calgary, Alberta and titled it “Spring in Calgary” a few posts ago? Well, I am here to “eat crow” and say that damn it, I woke up to snow everywhere…on the first weekend in Spring (check a flickr photo…

Sorry, Unavailable on Tuesday, Me & Will Oldham Are Catching Up.
Going to the BPB concert here in Calgary on Tuesday, March 24th and am getting excited. Word is that the show is pretty darn good (various twitter feeds from fellow bloggers indicate as such). Apparently a good mix of new and old material, so that is always a promising situation when an artist has such…

New Blogrollers – check ’em, ya hear.
image from gapingvoid: “cartoons drawn on the back of business cards” (read it) I have been adding a few more blogs to my ever growing Slowcoustic Blogroll lately. I have come to think the more one gets out and visits other blogs/websites, your world just gets that much bigger (as opposed to the common misconception…

Cleaning off the Desktop – The “no connection is the connection” Cop-Out Mixtape
So just cleaning up my desktop. I tend to find songs, take a listen, then know I am going to like it and simply download to my desktop. I tend to leave soo many tracks on my desktop that I miss actually listening to them! So here we have some tracks that haven’t made it…

More people need Matt Bauer on a Friday. A Banjo Friday!
Matt Bauer – is there another contemporary folk musician who enjoys his banjo more than Matt? I am not sure, as that list of musicians might be longer than one might think. Well in my opinion, he just might be near the front of this particular line of finger pickin’ enthusiasts. The brother wields a…
