Old Smog (and new Bill Callahan) on tap for my Sunday
Just getting into the new Bill Callahan album “Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle” which is due on April 14th through Drag City. While it is definitely Bill, it is a new Bill Callahan – He might have soared like said eagle and just maybe moved on from the classic Smog sound. Okay,…

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…

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…

Album to look forward to: Weinland – “Breaks In The Sun”
Upcoming on April 21st, 2009 – Badman Recording Company is releasing the next album from Weinland called “Breaks In The Sun”. If you are familiar with Weinland, you will know it will be an album of rich textrure and at times ethereal acoustic melodies. Believe me, it is that good. If by chance you find…

husband&wife – “Dark Dark Woods”
I have previously posted on husband&wife (yes, there is no space in the band name – it is like its one word) and I have been advised that today (Jan. 29th) there will be an appearance from h&w on the indie hit-maker Daytrotter. This is exciting, I think the new album (due on Feb. 24th…

Slowcoustic Essentials – J. Tillman
Whatever you want to call him or do call him – “J. Tillman”, “Josh Tillman”, “Tills”, “J.T.” – he is still the pinnacle of the hushed singer songwriter, period. This is why J. Tillman is ultimately deserving of being essential listening to those who enjoy Slowcoustic style music. J. Tillman has been on the scene…

If you haven’t heard – Magnolia Summer
Hey, if you haven’t heard….”Magnolia Summer”! Welcome again kiddies to another installment of “If You Haven’t Heard” and the band in question – Magnolia Summer. This St. Louis based “rock” band (as they describe themselves) is a bit of a collection of friends that have been interchanged over the past few years under the moniker…

Black Cab Sessions – Revisited
We all know that I love (and I mean love, honour and respect till death we do part) the Black Cab Sessions. It always brings a smile to my face and a great tune to my ears. They get some serious talent, do great recordings and you get a glimpse of some the artists in…

Fields of Industry – Michigan wins again!
Fields of Industry…kind of like “Captains of Industry” only like with a field, or something with a touch more hazy drug influenced backgrounds. So, yeah. What is going on here is some indie-psych soundtrack from Lansing Michigan entitled “Fields of Industry”. I am fairly new to FoI and not necessarily up to date with my…

Would the real DCFC stand up?
Just a taster of the new husband&wife (via Vimeo performances) with two tracks from the upcoming album “Dark Dark Woods”. Is it bad that I think they are the Death Cab for Cutie of 2009 (maybe with a touch less “indie pop”)? I have to say the new album sounds pretty good, a bit catchy,…
