Entertainment For The Braindead — Hydrophobia
Free music is always good. Free music is always great when it is worth having and actually listening to. I have been introduced to aaahh records previously, but sometimes I just need a couple of pushes to get my attention. In this case the two pushes came in the form of Common Folk Meadows post…

~~~~~~Year End List Alert~~~~~~ “Best Tracks of 2008” from…not 2008!
I would like to welcome everyone to a week of “Bests” from good friends on the old Slowcoustic Blogroll. I am honoured to have all 5 days (Monday through Friday) this week dedicated to what my fellow bloggers think are some of the best things they have found this past year. As previously mentioned the…

Talons’ – Songs for Babes
So if you are into bedroom folk (hey, mind out of the gutter!) than I have the guy for you. Talons’ is the guy and he is just recording songs about babes…I guess. No seriously, this album from the Bark N Hiss label is a great collection of lo-fi singer songwriter recordings. Moments of charm,…

September 9th…

Oweihops dual post starts here (or ends here…)
Hello Slowcoustic readers! I wanted to post today to advise of a fairly recent update to my blogging persona — my dual personality! Okay that sounds dramatic, but I wanted to do a dual post with my other blogging life over on the You Crazy Dreamers Blog. Yes, it is true, I cheat on my…

Three parts that should be as one. Even Damien Jurado says so.
So now that I consider myself a blogger, I have to find where all my music has made it to over the course of the last few years. Sure you rip a CD, you find something online, you get a copy from someone — it all ends up for the most part as an mp3…

Woodpigeon’s New Album is out! Summer it is my friends, summer it is.
So I thought I would post on some great summer sounds that I just picked up from a band that I ironically enough, don’t know enough about. The band is Woodpigeon who just so happen to be from the very city I currently live in! I KNOW. I had heard of them prior to listening…
