Blind Melon’s “No Rain” bothers me…

February 14, 2013 Trev

I remember when I personally discovered Blind Melon, I was flipping through the channels and up popped a bunch of mud encrusted hippie musicians singing the lead single (" I Wonder") from their eponymous album. It was this great blend of crunchy guitars blended with these sweet melodic harmonies. (more…)Read More

Toro Y Moi, Anything In Return, Carpark Records

February 11, 2013 Justin

This album should have been entitled, "Funkee Beats From A Car Showroom", cause all I could picture on the first listen was shiny, expensive cars being presented by rich business men & hot sexy ladies. And that would have been fitting. But Toro Y Moi is more than that, and his (more…)Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – February 8, 2013

February 9, 2013 Jeff

I love the genius option in my iTunes. It allows me to hear songs from artists, that I normally wouldn't check out and it's become a regular used option, in my musical life. However, every now and then it throws in some of the most random songs that appear to have (more…)Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – February 1st, 2013

February 1, 2013 Jeff

So due to some mental technical problems (me forgetting to auto-publish this one) I really wanted to pump out a compilation piece this week, but I've been so engulfed by the following artist, it only seemed right that I dedicated this weeks FNS to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia's very own, Matt Mays. Usually (more…)Read More

A New 30 Day Facebook Song Challenge :: Day 22 :: Funniest Song (8 Track Edition)

January 24, 2013 Trev

Ok, let's try and wrap up this 30 Day Challenge in sort of timely fashion shall we? With Day 22's task of naming the funniest song, do I take the easy route out and pick a song by a known comedy troupe/artist, or do I go for something a little quirkier? (more…)Read More

Justin’s 5 Albums To Listen To In 2012

January 21, 2013 Justin

Yeah, I kinda get the feeling that I'm a little late for posting a "top albums of 2012". It is late January, and every reviewer on the web usually submits one by mid-December, just before vacation. So I'm not just alittle late, I'm very late. But thats ok. I'll tell you (more…)Read More

Mike Trask – Jamboree II: 24 Cents – Indie

January 21, 2013 Trev

Somewhere along the way Mike Trask invested wisely in a Delorean, if you need proof you need not look any further than Jamboree II: 24 Cents. This is another recording of Trask's that demands it be played from a dusty turntable to ensure the maximum crackle and pop embellishments. In an (more…)Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – January 18th, 2013

January 18, 2013 Jeff

Just when I thought 2013 was going to be a slow year (other than my wedding), I receive a message from a friend of mine, suggesting that I make a trip to the city of Toronto. After taking some time to throw around the idea, I decided that it would be (more…)Read More

8 Tracks: The Return w/ Recommendations

January 17, 2013 Trev

I was shocked to see that my last 8 Track post was way back in November, so much like any good 8-Track, let's dust it off shall we? Without fail, every January is a period of recovery as there's not much new material hitting the shelves, so the music critics out there (more…)Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – January 11th, 2013

January 11, 2013 Jeff

Apologies need to be made for not posting something as simple as a 5 song playlist last week, but I was hammered with a sickness that completely kicked my butt, and I didn't even want to look at a computer screen, let alone remember that I needed to look at one. (more…)Read More
