So I am heading out with the Mrs. and heading to the sun and surf. Leave it to a Canadian to leave during the very short period of summer we have and leave and go to somewhere hot. So you only get about 3 months of warm/hot weather where I live – so let’s cut…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

Share’s “Slumping In Your Murals” to be released August 4th. Let the Countdown Begin!
Share, the latest band I have found from Halifax, Nova Scotia is set to release their new album this August. What is happening in the East Coast of Canada?
