The Woodlands emerge with incredible debut album!
The grey of dripping dusk sounds forth an invitation to innocence. It extends its grey hand with a slight tremble and a quiet recognition of the disparity between its own chill and the warmth of the impending guest. Innocence reciprocates like a slow glance around the doorway that leads to a dim room, holding promises…

This Is Deer Country – Daylily King EP
So yes, you think “Michigan once again”. You think “maybe I started to post too much about Michigan”. Then you notice Michigan starts hanging around more than it used to. Then Michigan asks to borrow money and accepts deliveries on your behalf. Then it happens…Michigan asks you to help it move and wants to store…

New on the ‘Nets this Week
Kinda skipped a week for this whole ’round the nets post, so I have most likely missed a fair bit. From what I can find, some highlights for me are listed below. ~~ Untitled Records lets you know that they have love for Bon Iver, but not 100% love…see here. Captain Obvious dropped a January…

Now on tap: “Various Artists” Vol. 1
This “Various Artist” band sure records a lot. I mean, how many albums can these guys put out…and on a regular basis! Okay, lame opening, but wouldn’t it be a great name for a band – “Various Artists”. Everyone would be know you, although there are a few inherent pitfalls I see in that name……

Matt Jones – Michigan talent pool finds even more depth
The photo above features Matt Jones. Matt Jones is more or less new to me. The fact that the trailer in the photo above is made by John Deere is not lost on me. Michigan isn’t just the city of Detroit. Michigan is as vast as it’s songwriter talent pool is deep. This fact says…

The Long, Dusty Road that is Beastheart
Sometimes a photo can strike a chord in you and make you understand something that cannot be described (or at least is hard to put to words). The sounds created by Beastheart can be best described in an image such as the below. I don’t know what it is about Beastheart, but they make me…

Lanterns on the Lake & Last.fm – perfect match
This is why I love music and love Last.fm. Lanterns on the Lake (discovered via Agnes over on It All Started with Carbon Monoxide) is a lush and soothing soundscape via rainy day England. Now with the help of Last.fm, you too can stare longingly at the ground while possibly swaying back and forth getting…

The Best Unknown Artist I Still Don’t Know
Basket of Figs is a seriously entrancing singer songwriter from Toronto, Canada. There…you have as much information about her as I do. Well, almost. Did you ever listen to music that simply amazes you? Everyone needs to, and I recently experienced it with the EP entitled “666” from Basket of Figs obtained through the Yer…

So I have been out of the loop a bit with the holidays and such, and I have been a bit behind on catching up with what is going on in the world of music blogging lately, but here we go on another “New on the ‘Nets this week” post. ~~ Received my copy of…

Little Bear – Army of Trees EP
Little Bear has a great little release in the form of a 4 track EP entitled “Army of Trees” that is recently collected, recorded and released for all to have. “All to have” as it is a complimentary download! We all like free music, but I think we often push aside free music as “not…

New on the ‘nets this week
So I did it again, got all caught up in my life and ignored the blog on a Friday. Sure there was the day job, sure there was a going away party for a colleague in a downtown hotel, sure I live about an hour drive from downtown. This does not warrant a snub to…

Oliver Thiessen
Sometimes as hard as you look, you sometimes pass over something in your very own backyard. This is the experience I had with Oliver Thiessen. With the internet, the world is not soo big anymore and the grasp for music goes fully around the globe. That is why I am happy to provide more local…
