French Quarter has my hump day covered
This has been circling the webs for a couple of years, but just thought I would drag it out for a Wednesday. I am having an ass week and just needed something to cheer me up. A couple of ultra lo-fi covers are something that always makes me just a little bit warmer inside. You…

More Eulogies Homespun Sessions!
I know I have previously made note of the 5 song EP that is being released by Eulogies in order to lead up to their full length release next month (due on April 7th) of “Here Anonymous“. It is their “Homespun” Sessions EP and they are releasing a song a week (more or less) leading…

Sorry, Unavailable on Tuesday, Me & Will Oldham Are Catching Up.
Going to the BPB concert here in Calgary on Tuesday, March 24th and am getting excited. Word is that the show is pretty darn good (various twitter feeds from fellow bloggers indicate as such). Apparently a good mix of new and old material, so that is always a promising situation when an artist has such…

Cleaning off the Desktop – The “no connection is the connection” Cop-Out Mixtape
So just cleaning up my desktop. I tend to find songs, take a listen, then know I am going to like it and simply download to my desktop. I tend to leave soo many tracks on my desktop that I miss actually listening to them! So here we have some tracks that haven’t made it…

More people need Matt Bauer on a Friday. A Banjo Friday!
Matt Bauer – is there another contemporary folk musician who enjoys his banjo more than Matt? I am not sure, as that list of musicians might be longer than one might think. Well in my opinion, he just might be near the front of this particular line of finger pickin’ enthusiasts. The brother wields a…

Spring in Calgary. Longer Days, Online Compilations and Dylan Covers Emerge.
Apparently the above photo (from National Geographic) is “Spring in Calgary”. Yes, it may feel like this at times, but seriously?! I find we, as Canadians, fight the impression by the rest of the world that we are simply an ice field with beer. I just wanted to say that the above photo is not…

Another Incredible Free EP – The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers’ “Redux”
Don’t let the name “The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers” distract you here. Regardless if you have to stop and say it a few times, work it around your mouth, think it through a few times and then confidently say it aloud. The band has the sound that will catch you far more…

It’s Tuesday and I am not at SXSW. That’s All.
I think the title of this post says it all. I just might be a bit jealous of all the great times, artists, shows that are going to be happening this week in Austin. Well, I am not there, and if you are, I hope you have a great time with many of my heroes…

Played Out – New, Old, Unknown, Almost Popular Playlist?
It is true, I am delving into the fray (not the band, cuz that’s weird) and putting out a Sunday Mixlist. It is almost a blogger tradition to put out playlists/mixtapes/themed musical collections. I tend to try and theme some (see ladies night/men’s night), but sometimes I find it a bit of a chore to…

New on the ‘Nets This Week – New Blogger Edition (ish)
Here we are back to the “New on the ‘Nets”, sorry for being remiss lately, I think it has been about 2 or 3 weeks! Tsk, Tsk. Well this week has a lot going for it, recently picked up some more good folks for the blogroll and while this feature isn’t necessarily always about what…

Friday Discovery – MORE Elephant Micah!
So we all know I am a ridiculous fan of Joe O’Connell’s “Elephant Micah” recording persona. I honestly have to say that his most recent full album release “Exiled Magicians” is going to be a top album for the decade for me – see for yourself by visiting Third Uncle Records to pick up a…

Blog Flu and Listening to Will Stratton
Sorry, I am not available for blogging today. Under the weather (Blog Flu – kinda like the real flu and causes a slow movement and yearning to do nothing) and will start posting soon – so not exactly a real “full” post today. Do not fret, still great music to listen to…sheesh, I not that…
