I Like Germans & Free Music. I like Talking To Turtles. End Random Sentences.
So random sentences aside, I in fact find a healthy portion of my readers (I gots me some analytics y’all) are from Germany. I also have a few online friends that find themselves located over yonder…what is it with the Germans having great musical taste? I tend to be partial as my wife is of…

What album review did I miss for it’s release yesterday? Tim Williams’ “Careful Love” damn it!
So the last couple of days were just lazy days for me, what can I say…the PVR was calling my name.. One album that I was meaning to post about yesterday was the Tim Williams album “Careful Love” – a nice little release with 10 tracks that range from jangly indie pop (“Right All Along”,…

Quick Post of the Night – Ronnie Fauss has a new EP
Heard from Ronnie that he has released a new digital only 3 track EP just last week. The title track included below is exactly what you would think of a song of the night around here, it’s slow, it’s acoustic and it’s a song that feels just a bit lonely. The track sings of not…

A Shameless Records Canada Playlist
I have been a bit lax on the label playlist feature here on Slowcoustic so I noticed that the good folks at IODA have quite a bit of content from Shameless Records available. Hell, it is time to represent Alberta here – Canadian label action from my own province! They have a pretty eclectic roster,…

On Tap: Viburnum: no, not the beer, the album by Oweihops. Again, not the beer.
Despite what you think, instead of this being a sparkling review of a great micro brew, it is in fact a stunning review of the best folk coming out of North East USA. I have been holding onto reviewing this album and as you can see by the post title, I must have been struggling…

The Jeckell & Hyde show that is The Big Nasty
I am a bit confused by The Big Nasty – they have two CDs coming out and one is more country folk and the other more rock alternative. I mean each is its own project – and actually kudos to them for having the energies and ability to have two separate albums to promote. And…

Ciao My Shining Star – Mark Mulcahy So I’m diggin’ Mark’s tribute album that was just released (or most of it, okay some of it…). Especially like that Hayden version of “Happy Birthday Yesterday” as it is classic Hayden sounding. Remember the tribute album isn’t only about the Thom Yorke track…just sayin’. Pick up the…

Interesting find and slam dunk find of the weekend: Glass Ghost & Vic Chesnutt
I end up being in a bit of a bubble at times. I know what you are thinking: “Hey Sandy, you are totally on the bleeding edge of music, how can I know as much as you??”. I hate to burst this proverbial bubble (maybe just the one in my head), but I tend to…

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…

Does anyone else hear Pornography-era The Cure here?
The Twilight Sad “Reflection of the Television” (mp3) from “Forget the Night Ahead” (Fat Cat Records) More On This Album ~~~ Maybe just a bit more “noise” in the studio than Robert Smith & Co. – but that base line…listen @ the 0:40 mark of the video in comparison to the above track: It’s gloomy…
