Song of the Day – Graham Lindsey’s “Tomorrow is Another Night”
This one ain’t new to me, but it is from one of my favourite albums of last year – “We Are All Alone In This Together” from the banjo wielding Lindsey. The song, friends is “Tomorrow is Another Night” and it is one of the best. As I tend to, I enjoy a unique voice…

Song of the Day – Reverie Sound Revue’s “An Anniversary Away”
So song of the day today is from Reverie Sound Revue’s newly released self titled album and the first track “An Anniversary Away”. The track is a more atmospheric summer jam from the Canadian pseudo electro-shoegaze outfit. It is a lush affair to say the least and begs to be immersed in. I can’t describe…

Song of the Day – Dan Michaelson & The Coastguards’ “Bust”
Today’s Song of the Day comes from across the pond and Dan Michaelson and the Coastguards. I am not sure if they are actual nautical specialists, but they do craft some nice salty melodies. The song is “Bust” and is from the 2009 release of “Saltwater” which was recommended from one of my good online…

Song of the Day: Ronnie Fauss’ “The Saddest Love That’s Ever Been”
There is something about a bit of grit from a whiskey burnt throat accompanied by a slide guitar. Yeah, it’s called country music, well…sort of. I do find myself often attending the “my dog is dead, my wife left me” school of music enjoyment and I have the following homework for you. Listen to Ronnie…

WARNING: On Vacation – “Song of Day Posts” on their way. J. Tillman’s “Earthly Bodies” to start!
So I am heading out with the Mrs. and heading to the sun and surf. Leave it to a Canadian to leave during the very short period of summer we have and leave and go to somewhere hot. So you only get about 3 months of warm/hot weather where I live – so let’s cut…

Calgary Concert Alert – Sunset Rubdown Tonight, July 2nd!
Another show at the Marquee room tonight, this time it is Sunset Rubdown on their new album tour for the June 23rd released album “Dragonslayer”! The new album “Dragonslayer” is still too new to make comment as SR are not a regular listen for me. There definitely is that signature sound and panicked delivery that…

Overheard at Canada’s Birthday party: “No, don’t worry about it, your presence is more than enough….”
So yes, it is Canada Day and it is the yearly ritual of a day off from work the celebration of Canada’s birth as a nation. Let’s rejoice, shall we? So more and more lately, Canada has been known for great music (especially in certain circles that I frequent in the music blogger world) and…

Jeffrey Luck Lucas releases “The Lion’s Jaw”, discusses the album, tours and if “Luck” is really his name!
“The heart of a cur keeping time with her bedroom eyes.” ~JLL The upcoming album from Jeffrey Luck Lucas entitled “The Lion’s Jaw” should be out any second and from the few tracks I have heard it is going to be another incredible album. This is a top album in the “looking forward to in…

Gareth Dickson’s Sunday Morning.
Just a quick post on Gareth (although he is deserving of more) – I simply needed to put this out there as I was listening to his “Collected Recordings” this morning and had to post. There has been fewer perfect moments than a tranquil back yard on a Sunday Morning…the yard half immersed in sunlight…

Saturday Afternoon with Brent Randall & his Pinecones. We all seem to get along.
So to further my effort for a bit of a “pop” infused Saturday, I bring another pseudo brit-psych-pop group, but this time from Halifax. Come on seriously, it couldn’t be anything other than that with the album cover above, could it? In all honestly I am trying to not be as much as a purveyor…

Saturday Morning with Papercuts. Not as painful as it sounds.
San Francisco’s Papercuts is sound tracking my start of vacation Saturday Morning. You can’t start all crazy and sometimes it is nice to start with something that you haven’t heard much of. I have been meaning to spin the Papercuts recent album “You Can Have What You Want” for a while now, so why not…
