Here Cometh The Mountain Goats: The Life of the World to Come
All hail the coming of more Darnielle & Co. So the new album from The Mountain Goats “The Life of the World to Come” will be out on October 6th, 2009. No, it isn’t the calling of one who has found the Lord, but 12 songs of lessons learned in life. If you know Darnielle,…

New/Upcoming Release Listening – The tracks I’m “allowed” to give you edition.
photo stolen from Less Noise More Signal So I am sitting here listening to one of the many iTunes playlists I make (I am a bit of a fiend for this) and while scrobbling to my Last.fm profile I noticed that some tracks are readily available for download. As I consider myself basically an up…

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…

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…

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…

The “I’ve been gone so long, so here is a bunch of covers” post, or this post title is soo long it could be a Sufjan Stevens album demo.
So I have been away from posting new stuff (or old stuff for that matter) – due to day to day life getting in the way. I know, this is no excuse – in a cut throat world of mp3/music blogging this comes as a hollow excuse disguised as a “reason”. Well, dear blog readers,…

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…

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…

Song of the Night – “Canadian Song” by Matt Pond PA
Kind of an slow day on the blog the last couple of days due to host issues and “overworked” servers lending to delays in service. I apologize for anyone who has tried to get here and was put off by the extremely slow loading times. In true Canadian fashion, I apologize to you for something…

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 –…

Manchester Orchestra – MySpace Transmissions EP available for download!
Manchester Orchestra “Everything To Nothing” from MySpace Transmissions Catch the whole thing over at MySpace Transmissions for the videos, interviews and free 5 track EP. Admittedly I like “Right Away, Great Captain” (the solo more mellow version of Andy Hull) a bit more, but Manchester Orchestra have some chops and I always like Hull’s delivery.…
