Sunday Label Showcase – Third Uncle Records
Okay, so it isn’t really a profile of the label, but I am a fan of a couple of artists (so far, I am sure my “fandom” will grow once I really dig into Third Uncle). Those artists are the overly Slowcoustic profiled Elephant Micah (mentioned here, here and here) and new on my radar,…

Will Johnson “Just to Know What You’ve Been Dreaming” (mp3) “Closing Down My House” (mp3) from “Vultures Await” (Misra) More On This Album ~~ ~Heading off to bed, glad it is Friday. But long ago when it was still the morning of this very Friday, I was listening to “Counting the Scars” on the way…

Something Borrowed and Something Blue
Advised from friend Giuseppe over at Happy Days Are Here Again Blog via Twitter: new Brian Borcherdt video for Scout Leader – LOVE IT – mostly as I had Brian Borcherdt’s “Coyotes” album as my favourite album of 2008. I am very much biased on this topic. Debates are still raging over the topic of…

I told you I would post again on Garrett Pierce.
I am not going to lie to you, I posted a couple of weekends ago on Garrett Pierce (here) and I was so impressed that I immediately went and purchased his debut album “Like A Moth”. Another winner. I then discovered it was up on IODA, so this is perfect, I am posting on Mr.…

PapaFahr – New Release in May, Slowcoustic Approved
Again, I don’t know if we are dealing with Sweden or Norway here as I am getting conflicting information and honestly I am not completely familiar with the area. One thing I am not conflicted about is the upcoming album from PapaFahr. I know what you are saying…who is this bearded Norwegian Swede (not pictured)? …

Have a Good Night Series – Great Music, Great Cause
There is still good in the world and this is a shining example of it. The “Have A Good Night” Series has been around for a couple of years and is currently on it’s 4th compilation in support of Junior Solidarity. With translation from the French site, I am not quite sure if the compilations…

I Will Be Listening to Garrett Pierce This Weekend.
So one of the benefits of music blogging is musicians and labels and people in “the biz” tend to know each other and recommend back and forth to themselves AND you. The good thing is often artists of the same ilk will fall into same circles, discuss with same folks and recommend each other. Not…

Things I Know and Things I’m listening to.
Sorry for the no post yesterday, just lost a bit of love for the blog for a day, what can I tell ya? Well there might be a day or two that gets missed this long weekend as well due to an “over-nighter” with the Mrs. for a couple of nights HERE. It pays to…

Sarah Winchester’s “Northeast Kingdom Demos”
A Nice surprise was discovering Sarah Winchester’s 5 track demo release over on the Team-Love website. You might know Winchester as the same ethereal voice that keep the band “A Weather” on the Slowcoustic radar (also highly recommended). Her recent EP is so incredibly delicate and gorgeous that it is heartbreaking and warming at the…

Absolutely The Best Unreleased Recordings – J. Tillman
So anyone who knows me knows that I am a little bit ridiculous about J. Tillman – the solo stuff. Not that everyone immediately jumps his role in Fleet Foxes anymore, as most of you know him separate from his day job (I hope). That being said, I almost wept uncontrollably when Adrian over at…
