Phosphorescent throw back: Black Cab Session version of “Wolves”
Just being unemployed for a few days, so I am at my computer (without corporate network restrictions), so let’s put another post up on the blog!! This song was playing on the drive to work yesterday, knowing it was my last day ‘working for the man’, it just sounded that much better. Honestly it sounded…

The Black Atlantic’s “Reverence For Fallen Trees” for breakout album of the year?
Introduced and recommended to me from the good folks at The Waiting Room (see them on the blogroll to your right please) – The Black Atlantic are currently on hardcore repeat over here. As soon as you spin it a bit, you will feel the same way I am sure. The Album is Reverence for…

Doby Watson’s “Twenty Two” shines on Orchid Collective
So the unassuming Orchid Collective surprises again. This label keeps on churning out solid talent – why are not more people falling over themselves?? I guess it shows that the general public finds all it’s taste in it’s mouth. But that is for another time…. The “Collective” have provided myself with a full roster of…

Sharon Van Etten Re-Releases debut album – Slowcoustic rejoices with CD giveaway!
So I happen to have an extra copy of the re-release of the Sharon Van Etten debut CD. Long story (not really) about having two, but the end result is that you readers are benefiting from it. The story goes… Yours truly orders a CD once they were available and SVE sends it out with…

Andrew Bryant’s “Galilee” makes me a believer
I have waited on this one, and I don’t know why. The new album from Andrew Bryant came out July 9th, 2009 and is Bryant’s 5th release to date. This album is right at the top of my indie folk rock stack of releases, and for good reason. So this stack of indie folk rock…

My Song of the Summer: The Cave Singers’ “At The Cut”
I part rock, 1 part energy, 1 part bass line. This song is me “rocking out”. This is the best thing since “Dancing on Our Graves” – which incidentally could have been my song of the summer 2 years ago. So really, its the best thing since their last album…so, yeah. Pick up the album…

A Band We Need More From: Hezekiah Jones
I just want to say that I would like more of Hezekiah Jones. Raphael Cutrufello (and crew) were introduced to myself via the good folks at Yer Bird Records and after 2 solid albums, some compilation work and a nice split with Chris Bathgate (see video below) – but I still need more. Compared to…

Brown Bird preps new album release: “The Devil Dancing” – sun comes out, air smells sweeter
It is true my friends, Brown Bird has new material hitting the proverbial streets this October. News as such makes this blogger a happy fellow. Dave Lamb is the driving force behind the musical entity that is Brown Bird and he has been a favourite for a few years. See previous post HERE and the…

Song of the Day – Jon Crocker’s “Moved to Nebraska”
Don’t know much about Nebraska – drove through it once and spent the night at a small low rent chain motel on the outskirts of Lincoln. Saw lots of corn fields (from the side of the road), a truck with a personalized license plate with “Hunters” on it and endless 2 door coupes with “support…

Strand of Oaks Live at The Nave (2009 performance)
Another live session from Strand of Oaks has hit the interwebs, and we all know this is a good thing. I have been a fan of SoO (or Tim Showalter) for some time (see previous interview and Live at the Nave 2008 HERE). When Tim let me know his February session is now available over…

In The Post – Thomas Western, The Steals & Trevor Giuliani
What has been circling the submission circles here at the blog? Well a fair amount of stuff! You would think with the sheer amount of music bloggers these days that there aren’t enough artists to go around! ….sorry inside blogger joke, kinda. I thought I would feature 3 artists that all cover different sounds but…

Huck Notari’s “Very Long Dream” is Very much NOT long enough!
When one visits a site like mine and listens to music, one gets and idea of the style of music you will often be subject to everytime you come back. While there is nothing wrong with blogs that cover multiple genres of music and even have a “media information” feel and cover movies, celebrity, cultural…
