New Favourite – Sea of Bees
So after my Ladies Night post on the weekend, I am really getting into Sea of Bees. I mean getting enthralled with Sea of Bees is more accurate – I can’t stop listening. This one is going to be big for me I think. She (Julie Bees) is but 24 years of age and has…

Ladies Night – Volume Four
Here we are with another episode of ‘Ladies Night”, and this looks like volume four…so you know we have worked the kinks out, right?? With such posts it is difficult to segue into the post as such, being a man I often sit back, mouth agape at the intricacies of women. I did dig into…

Artist of the Day – Jan Felipe
So I have been online acquaintances with Jan Felipe for over a year now as we have connected a few times on Last.fm. He will let me know on happenings here and there and if he has a new track for download. Low and behold he does have something new for perusal and he let…

Thursday Discovery – Withered Hand
So sometimes a band/artist comes along and you think to yourself, why don’t you already know of them. This happens to me often, mostly as there is soo much good music out there (despite the endless amounts of it lately), and it always keeps me going when I find someone that simply provides some good…

Chris Garneau: “Hands on the Radio” via They Shoot Music
Love this song, probably my favourite off the new album “El Radio”. This is a few months old, but was recorded prior to the release of the new album (in October of 2008!!!) but it needs more airplay. Stunning, watch it the entire way through, please. ~Smansmith p.s. There will be more Chris Garneau love…

Song of the Day – Dan Michaelson & The Coastguards’ “Bust”
Today’s Song of the Day comes from across the pond and Dan Michaelson and the Coastguards. I am not sure if they are actual nautical specialists, but they do craft some nice salty melodies. The song is “Bust” and is from the 2009 release of “Saltwater” which was recommended from one of my good online…

Song of the Day: Ronnie Fauss’ “The Saddest Love That’s Ever Been”
There is something about a bit of grit from a whiskey burnt throat accompanied by a slide guitar. Yeah, it’s called country music, well…sort of. I do find myself often attending the “my dog is dead, my wife left me” school of music enjoyment and I have the following homework for you. Listen to Ronnie…

WARNING: On Vacation – “Song of Day Posts” on their way. J. Tillman’s “Earthly Bodies” to start!
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…

Jeffrey Luck Lucas releases “The Lion’s Jaw”, discusses the album, tours and if “Luck” is really his name!
“The heart of a cur keeping time with her bedroom eyes.” ~JLL The upcoming album from Jeffrey Luck Lucas entitled “The Lion’s Jaw” should be out any second and from the few tracks I have heard it is going to be another incredible album. This is a top album in the “looking forward to in…

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. There has been fewer perfect moments than a tranquil back yard on a Sunday Morning…the yard half immersed in sunlight…

Friday Video Selection – Chris Bathgate “Serpentine” with bonus mp3s
Just because there is a rumor of a new album rapidly approaching from Mr. Bathgate. I also have a bit of a “thing” for Michigan artists… Visit Mr. Bathgate on his MySpace page and over at the good folks at Quite Scientific. ~Smansmith
