This Blog Post should have Two Titles: A Band You Should Know AND How To Borrow From Other Bloggers Graciously
I have a band you should know and they are Blood Warrior: but besides a bit of back and forth with them, I don’t really have anything “of my own” to offer. So, what is a blogger to do when he wants you to listen to a band? Why, he is to direct his readers…

My “Various Desktop Mp3s” playlist
I have done this before (see here) and I just did the whole drag and drop into my iTunes and have a new playlist for this Saturday. I have had these mp3s on my desktop for weeks now and they are not related at all besides the fact that I listened quickly, liked it and…

Song of the day – Matt Dill’s “Mountain Side”
I have been listening to a lot of music, but not posting as much as I should. I thought I would give you a quick song of the day post to fend of the daily mp3 crowd and the die hard regulars (love you guys!). Hopefully I can get some decent coverage of some really…

Nineteen Year Old Swedish Sisters!! This is not spam, it’s “Taxi Taxi!”
Okay, lame post title I know – but seriously, how is “19-year old Swedish sisters” not something you get in public email spam filters? Seriously though, the subject of this post are folk diva sister’s from Stockholm, Sweden and they have quirky, tragic, fun, heartbreaking folk pop simply oozing from them. Comparable to Calgary’s own…

Smash & Grab MP3 Post, but still worthy of some “good” attention
So a quick one today, kind of a “smash & grab” post as many bloggers refer to when music blogs put up a post with no real content, but with MP3 links. Umm, yeah – so I am kinda doing that, so back off haters. I have 3 separate tracks from different artists, but all…

Nothing more delicate than “A Book About Elephants”
So a little gem of a lo-fi EP fell in my lap recently – and you regular readers (I know you are out there) will appreciate a bit of an accented bedroom recording. The band is a solo project of Christina Tsui who is going by “A Book About Elephants” and she has a FREE…

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…

So good it doesn’t need a title: “Untitled” by Cedarwell
Cedarwell – Untitled from LaundroMatinee on Vimeo. After watching the above video, make sure you grab the track plus 3 more over at LaundroMatinee (nice performance with fellow Wisconsinites The Daredevil Christopher Wright on that session!). Check out a live recording of the track (and another called Seattle) from earlier this year at the OOG …

Its a “various artists” Friday headlined by Anders Parker & Amy Millan
TGIF, god damn it! So we have a bit of a mixed bag today courtesy of the good folks at IODA. See below, I am sure something is going to work out for you! Amy Millan (and this track specifically) has been featured already on Slowcoustic, Anders Parker has also graced the pages (thanks to…

Some Tuesday listening suggestions: Julie Peel, Boca Chica & Concept: Bravery
The above photo is not me, but just someone who I might just look like after this weekend. I have been a bit remiss in my music blogging the last couple of days on this past labour day weekend – a long weekend without a music blog playlist!?!? What was I thinking, a long weekend…

Talons’ “Songs for Babes” sees official release!
First blogged about Talons’ lo-fi gem almost a year ago (see here) and I am glad to see what I think is an official release of the album. Serious bedroom folk for the broken hearted. A little bit of reverb, a little bit of piano and a lot of girls from the past. I stand…

Mumford & Sons – Little Lion Man Video
Can’t wait for the new album from Mumford & Sons due October 5th and entitled “Sigh No More”. For a band that seems to be getting well known, this is in fact their debut album due to multiple previous EP releases (which were all stellar if I may say so). The track isn’t exactly “Slowcoustic”,…
