Friday Night Soundtrack – May 31, 2013

Thanks to a trip to Toronto, I have recently been introduced to the reddit website.  In between the gif's, meme's and news stories, you can find, what are called AMA's.  These AMA's (Ask Me Anything) can be hosted by anyone who wishes to be bombarded with random questions ranging from what they do for a…Read More

8 Tracks: The Workout Edition

Now that we finally have some good weather outside, here in Halifax. I've decided to come up with a 8-tracks playlist for you to enjoy while you walk, jog, roller blade, cut the grass or whatever you do outside in the sun. Most of these tunes are fairly new, and have a pretty good beat…Read More

One Track: “Had It Coming” – Matthew Good

There aren't too many acts that can announce a show in town and almost instantly get my concert going cash, Matthew Good is one of those rare acts that will continue to impress time after time.  You walk away hearing the material, but not in the exact way it sounds on the album, but it's…Read More

8 Tracks – Just Some Simple Ear Noms

"On the Line" - The Olms http://youtu.be/FAq7nn8vHzw The low fidelity movement is afoot, and the Olms jumped in with both feet.  "On the Line" is the latest release from the forthcoming (June 4th) debut album from the latest Pete Yorn project.  This track is reminiscent of Yorn's debut album Musicforthemorningafter, it's not an album crafted…Read More

One Track: Diana, “Born Again”

Move over Washed Out & Toro Y Moi, here's one track, taken straight from the "chillwave" manual that's got you beat. Based out of Toronto, Diana may not be in the genre of "chillwave" or "ambient pop", there's no telling, this is the first track to be released out into the interwebs by the band.…Read More
