  • Slowcoustic Best Albums – #s 25-11

    So here we are.  Best albums of 2008.  Good year I have to say, I may have contenders for best of decade that come from this very year – good sign, no? Disclaimer – While I tend to convince myself that I know music, I only know what I hear and actually take the time…

  • The Gunshy – I Gave Too Much Time To The Wine

    and other collected eps. So received my shiny new CD from The Gunshy last week.  Didn’t you?  If you didn’t, do you have a worthy excuse?  Go on, explain yourself. The Gunshy’s “I Gave Too Much Time To The Wine and other collected eps” is the most recent release from the good folks over at…

  • We/Or/Me – Ghostwriter EP and other gems

    I have an EP that you should want to buy.  No, scratch that, I have an EP that you will buy.  I know this because if you are here, you are clearly a connoisseur of all things quality.  You will have no other choice to fork over your hard earned (or not so hard earned)…

  • Slowcoustic Song of the Week

    Just so everyone knows that I now have a song of the week, and folks this is it. I have recently picked up the Callers Album “Fortune” that was released this past August and fully missed them if it weren’t for my Western Vinly playlist.  The more I listen, the more I enjoy this album. …

  • Frontier Ruckus – The Orion Songbook (2008)

    I have been trying to hold back on this post for a couple of weeks until it was closer to the album’s release (I don’t know why), but I have to post already!  So here we have Frontier Ruckus’ first full length album and it has been well worth the wait.  Spectacular down home traditional…

  • Brian Borcherdt – Coyotes (2008)

    So I don’t know why I have been waiting on this release for this long.  I have been telling everyone I can about how much I love the new album from Brian Borcherdt.  I tell you people, this album is probably my #1 album this year (go ahead start judging me!) – but I don’t…

  • Giving Thanks for Micah Blue Smaldone

    photo from 4volt So it is the long weekend for Canadian Thanksgiving and I am sitting around enjoying great coffee (new connection for beans) and really getting into some Micah Blue Smaldone.  As it inches towards the end of the year, I am mentally putting together my “best of 2008” list. Maybe it is the…

  • Round the ‘nets this week

    Another week down people, success – it’s the weekend!  As a matter of fact it is a long weekend in Canada due to the real Thanksgiving weekend (no offense to my American Readers!).  There actually was a fair amount that was pumping through millions of miles of Ethernet cable this week for all you internet…

  • Friday Discoveries

    So this post is going to be easy as it is full of artists that I am not very familiar with.  I intend on listening to each one a bit more (of what they have to this point) as each one shows a lot of potential to become regulars on my personal playlists.  Come to…

  • Boduf Songs – How Shadows Chase the Balance (2008)

    I know I just posted on the weekend saying I wasn’t posting on Boduf Songs, but…. So you think you know evil?  Well I don’t think you know it like Boduf Songs emanates it.  Pulsing and dark with an ominous soundtrack provided by Matthew Sweet.  Yes, a man with a surname of Sweet, brings this…

  • The Fairer Sex

    So notoriously a fan of the male troupador and down on HIS luck singer songwriter, I have been having a bit of a rip in my very own space-time continuum.  I have been listening to a lot of female artists lately, and it has been incredibly good. While I do have the staples down, and…

  • Side A, flip, repeat – the playlist

    Hmmm…records…not recordings, but records.  Thing of the past or recently making a comeback?  One thing as the so called “mp3 generation” we lose the ability to have two sides to music (and actual hold in your hands media).  Not necessarily that the music has a formal beginning and an ending as both sides simply may…
