The Swell Season is upon us
…and I don’t mean the cold & dreary evenings known as winter for the next 5-6 months! I know this is not going to be “news” for any of you, but just because you ain’t first on the scene in reporting it doesn’t mean you are not on board. I am on board for Glen…

Nineteen Year Old Swedish Sisters!! This is not spam, it’s “Taxi Taxi!”
Okay, lame post title I know – but seriously, how is “19-year old Swedish sisters” not something you get in public email spam filters?

Comparable to Calgary’s own…

Slowcoustic all timer: Laura Gibson – “Funeral Song”
Just found myself in ownership of the acoustic version of Laura Gibson’s “Beasts of Seasons” and it is utterly amazing.
