Newly infatuated: One Hundred Dollars – Forest of Tears
Holy shit I am digging this song (Tirade Of A Shitty Mom)! Wait, I’m digging the whole damn thing. I recently picked up the album for One Hundred Dollars – another winner from Canada folks – and this song (and below video) are just amazing. It is all psychedelic, folkish and is stuck in my…

New Album from OX on the way – Let’s revisit shall we?
So OX has a new album “Burnout” coming out on November 10th (featured that title track over on You Crazy Dreamers HERE) so I thought I would swing by their site and catch up on what was going on until now. So Burnout looks to be the bands 3rd album with the previous album being…

Video! HearYa Session with The Deep Dark Woods “All The Money I Had Is Gone”
So long before I joined the “fray of music blogging”, I was a fan of the HearYa music blog. They had had a great blog in general and then they had this tab for “Live Sessions”. This blows me away – mostly as a blog owner, I can’t think of the ability to be able…

Mojave hit the Calgary Concert alert with their Cross Canada Tour stop right here in Calgary tonight at Dickens Pub (locals can find it HERE). They have hit the roads looking for good folks, good vegan cuisine and now a great show here in Cow-Town (is it okay to say cow-town and Vegan in the…

Doing the Hometown Proud – The Wailin’ Jennys
So I am not one to shy away from my “roots” (no pun intended). So it is time to represent with some old school tunes (that aren’t actually that old) – but the tracks are from one of my “hometown” bands, the Wailin’ Jennys. I am a previous resident of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (I’m a…

Get Your Pre-Order on: Lightning Dust’s “Infinite Light”
Recommendations, recommendations. Bloggers have many. Most are pretty decent recommendations and for the most part we (hopefully) know what we are talking about. As I often talk out of my ass, take what I say with a grain of salt – I obsess on bands or albums or songs, so when I am listening –…

Video fest Tuesday – The Rural Alberta Advantage go acoustic on Camera Music!
The video speaks for itself! The banter stops at about the minute mark and then the acoustic goodness begins (there are 2 tracks in total, “Rush Apart” followed by “The Deathbridge in Lethbridge”, so don’t give in too early). Enjoy a NXNE edition of Camera Music. ~Smansmith

Song of the Day – Reverie Sound Revue’s “An Anniversary Away”
So song of the day today is from Reverie Sound Revue’s newly released self titled album and the first track “An Anniversary Away”. The track is a more atmospheric summer jam from the Canadian pseudo electro-shoegaze outfit. It is a lush affair to say the least and begs to be immersed in. I can’t describe…

Calgary Concert Alert – Sunset Rubdown Tonight, July 2nd!
Another show at the Marquee room tonight, this time it is Sunset Rubdown on their new album tour for the June 23rd released album “Dragonslayer”! The new album “Dragonslayer” is still too new to make comment as SR are not a regular listen for me. There definitely is that signature sound and panicked delivery that…

Overheard at Canada’s Birthday party: “No, don’t worry about it, your presence is more than enough….”
So yes, it is Canada Day and it is the yearly ritual of a day off from work the celebration of Canada’s birth as a nation. Let’s rejoice, shall we? So more and more lately, Canada has been known for great music (especially in certain circles that I frequent in the music blogger world) and…
