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. I have said it before and I will say it again, you feel drawn into her voice, it is like…

John Goraj – A “Possible” Interview
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?

Ever want to lie awake and stare off to the distance, but with purpose? Well, take a listen and feel yourself catching yourself gazing off, losing yourself while at the same time being totally focused.

The Antlers “new” Album Hospice, gets me back on board
So I know it was available, I know it was getting some pretty good press from fellow bloggers. I just didn’t immediately take the “real listen”. I don’t know why.

Justin Rutledge on Camera Music!
I am a HUGE fan of Scott Cudmore’s Camera Music series on AUX TV and he has provided another awesome episode with Justin Rutledge (looking forward to seeing him this summer here in Calgary). In familiar Camera Music fashion there is a “day in the life” feel to the series – you can definitely find…

I am a little sad as I awoke to snow on the ground this June. Yes, snow in June. I know many of you are thinking…”But Sandy, you live in Calgary….that is in Canada!”. Damn it, it still shouldn’t snow in June. I have already had my sunburn from a couple weeks back fade and…
