As I was preparing to review the album “A Virtual Landslide” by Pete Molinari this week I ran into a bit of trouble. I had little or nothing to say about it. It’s accomplished enough, there are some nice tracks but for the most part it’s just, well…kind of blah. Not that I am against [...]Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:00:14 -0500
Zaki Ibrahim, originally from Vancouver and currently living in Toronto is considere an up and comer and may be a star by the end of 2009. She’s released two EPs thusfar receiving a large amount of praise from Now Magazine (even though I hate their reviews, they do praise deserving artists) and Eye Weekly, two [...]Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:50:46 -0500
Hailing from England, The Broken Hearts invoke another time, another place. Think cabaret. Think vaudeville. Think Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Now think DJ. That’s right! Nisha Thirkell and Amber Jane Buchart are DJs.
You can hear them weekly on their themed radio show on QRadio – The Broken Hearts Mystery Tour, every Sunday night from [...]Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:44:58 -0500
After four long years of hard and anxious waiting, R.E.M’s first album since Around the Sun hits record stores everywhere and although the band experiments with many different music stylings on each song, the album as a whole beats out most of their previous efforts in an instant.
The Good : First CD in over [...]Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:16:41 -0500
The Morning Light strikes again with the release of their debut album. Consisting of bright vibrant tracks and mellow sombre tunes, it is a concoction of great sounding music. Much like a blend of fast paced powerpop with hints of earthy undertones, it is their originality that truly shines throughout. I was completely satisfied with [...]Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:45:55 -0500
I found out about Those Dancing Days by chance. I was just listening to some random tracks of Hype Machine, specifically what Rock Sell Out had to offer and it included a review of Those Dancing Day’s EP and an awesome track, Hitten.
Those Dancing Days are a girl group/semi-indie rock band out of Stockholm, Sweden [...]Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:15:00 -0500
The Happy Hollows are a band out of LA with their digital press promoter, telling fans of Kim Deal, Debbie Harry and Karen O take notice. First and foremost from those 3 comparisons, it’s clear this band is female fronted but are those comparisons fair?
The first track Lieutenant starts off with a Yeah Yeah Yeahs [...]Sat, 04 Oct 2008 19:00:43 -0500
I’m doing a little filling in so I’m just going to do a small post that includes some videos and old mp3s.
Lost Coastlines features the use of TV’s for heads (another use of TV’s like in their video for Our Life Is Not A Movie or Maybe) which turns out to be some workers. Probably [...]Sat, 04 Oct 2008 18:30:03 -0500
Slim Twig - Vernacular Violence
After some self-releases, Slim Twig signed with Paper Bag Records to release the Derelict Dialect EP on April 1st, followed soon after by this EP. He describes his own genre as “concrete rockabilly, ” but Slim Twig’s music is unlike anything I’ve heard.
The music here creates atmosphere using [...]Fri, 03 Oct 2008 19:15:02 -0500
I really wanted to check out Lindstrom’s critically acclaimed release Where You Go I Go Too. I wanted to see what the fuss was all about and more importantly I wanted to check out what the artists out of Norway were doing. I couldn’t find this album at first but I jumped at the opportunity [...]
A Toronto-based mp3 blog. I really suck with slogans and titles. As you can see the title of this blog sucks but I hope you'll ignore it and just enjoy the music we like
