So here it is. For the second week in a row the Sunday night mixtape. I'm as shocked as you are, who knew i could muster up enough energy to produce this fine product of ear candy. I'm calling a "push" for next sunday though.
So here it is. I've got a soft spot for Matt and Kim in my cold heart. They're off the wall, with high pitch screams and shouts. Matt's voice can drive you up the fucking wall in spots. But my goodness they produce catchy tunes. Kim holds it steady with her constant da da da da da da da Check out the new LP Grand.
So here it is. The band is Plants and Animals from Montreal. Another Canadian indie band. Not a collective though, so we are safe. They've not been literally burning up the charts, but those in the know, know!Unfortunaltey they are playing V fest. Not sure if i'll get a ticket for this one. Kinda want to but not really.I dont think i can sit through another one of Gord Downie's off the cuff poetic rants and be played of as revolutionary ( we get it, the gun had a rope tied to it's trigger) Certain people will disagree. But come on seriously, if The Hip weren't Canadian they wouldn't be releveant.Will Plants and Animals be releveant in 20 years.... Maybe not, but it's a damn good tune for Now!
So here it is. Nothing much to say about this song/video. Typical Killers tune. Rock opera. Yet the video plays out as a reminiscent montage. Those crazy 50's!!! The burden of that lost night. When Dreams Changed. BUT on the other hand its creative enough to give a running for the videos of old .You know, before music stations actually played videos. I cant shit on reality t.v cause i'm a sucker for the Hills...Shhh!!!. Dont judge.
So here it is. This band put out an epic album a few short years ago. It was met with mixed emotions critically. And you know that a lack of critical fame, would make the album that much better. From Brooding verses and choc full catchy chorus' the album The Boxer delivered, and delivered well. They have followed up with a new album due out later this year. Don't fret though. Thanks to Dark was the Night fundraiser, they lent their "So far around the bend" tune to the compilation. Enjoy
So here it is. Being chased in the woods, late at night by a beaver. Friend or Foe? Ok, lets clarify that, being in the woods late at night and hearing "ruffling" around your feet.While you take a drag of your cigarette... remember its pitch black... Ok wait a sec. Woods/Darkness/Beaver= no place for me. So Foe. Now if you are someone unlike me. You may have never been in this situation. As a recreational outdoorsman ( drinking in the woods) i've came across many animals, wild and not so wild.
For starters: Beaver Deer Elk Little Jack Rabbits
What do they have in common you say? Yes, they live in the wild woods. They are also names of bands. Bands that i'm diggin at the moment.
In keeping with The beaver theme here is Marnina and the Diamonds- I am not a Robot ( shoes remix).
This is my first weekly mixtape. We will see how consistent i'll be at keeping this a regular feature. I lack the discipline to continue through with things. Plus it's getting late and i can't be arsed to write about anything. So my gift to you is the Buttons for my coat WEEKLY MIX !!!
So here it is. I've never been a fan of the Nutini.Yet this album works for me right now. I'm going through a lilith fair phase, chick lit in music ( Lykke Li, Marina and the Diamonds,Lisa hannigan). This dude isn't too far away from the afore-mentioned artist's.The wee man from Paisley has blessed us with a Jazzy,Big band, Reggae chilled flavour album.
Standouts: Ten out of ten,Candy, Pencil full of lead.
So here it is. The start of "the blog". I'm sure i have a ton of things to say. But i'm in a hurry to go on an "Adventure". The reason behind this blog is all due in fact to one Mr. Tucker Max. I'm sure you've all seen or heard of this Douche!! I can make my own name bad, i dont need help from this guy. I was going to start an anti tucker campaign, then realized how tedious it would be. Instead i'm doing this thing, which is already tedious for me. I will carry on!!!
