Something Borrowed and Something Blue
Advised from friend Giuseppe over at Happy Days Are Here Again Blog via Twitter: new Brian Borcherdt video for Scout Leader – LOVE IT – mostly as I had Brian Borcherdt’s “Coyotes” album as my favourite album of 2008. I am very much biased on this topic. Debates are still raging over the topic of…

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…

I told you I would post again on Garrett Pierce.
I am not going to lie to you, I posted a couple of weekends ago on Garrett Pierce (here) and I was so impressed that I immediately went and purchased his debut album “Like A Moth”. Another winner. I then discovered it was up on IODA, so this is perfect, I am posting on Mr.…

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.

Things You Find When Not Looking – Frightened Rabbit
Just a quick find that I apparently was oblivious to. My story goes while looking into some “off the beaten track” songs from Windmill (mentioned previously here) as I am looking forward to his new album, I came across an Australian compilation from “The Lifted Brow”. I discovered via the website that TLB is more…

From One Albertan to Another, Well Kinda – The RAA.
Not that I am getting on board the Rural Alberta Advantage late, but I am getting on board late. I have been listening for about 6 months now, but haven’t posted prior – maybe I felt with myself being in Alberta made it kind of hokey. Well hokey or not, The RAA deserve a play…

There is still good in the world and this is a shining example of it. The “Have A Good Night” Series has been around for a couple of years and is currently on it’s 4th compilation in support of Junior Solidarity. With translation from the French site, I am not quite sure if the compilations…
