I am not a really regular concert goer. There are very few bands that make me want to drop a whole pile of money on a couple hours of entertainment (though I have seen Radiohead twice and those tickets do not come cheaply). My first real concert was when I was in 10th grade. Fed [...]
As I am something of a music lover (or possibly addict, depending on who one asks), I often have music running through my mind. Since it is one in the morning and my brain is misfiring, I will share with you a couple things that have been stuck up there for some time. I also [...]
I would like to highlight the fundamental differences between two very large and popular British bands. On the one hand, Radiohead and on the other Oasis. This video is from a show I was at in Toronto in 2003. I am not exactly clearly visible in the video as it was shot from someplace up [...]
Today’s featured artist is by no means whatsoever any kind of new group. I got a stack of records from my brother-in-law shortly after Christmas (my parents gave me a turntable) and one was New Order’s Substance double LP. Most people have heard a couple of New Order songs and I would like to present [...]
Something I have realized of myself is that I love a good remix. I am willing to accept a mediocre remix but I really enjoy a solidly done reimagining of an original work. There are a lot of songs where I am significantly more familiar with a remix than with the original and generally prefer [...]
This week’s featured artist is very new to me. White Rabbits hail from New York and I was directed their way by Monoxide, a friend from IRC and the PA forums. They have a new album coming out on the 19th of May called It’s Frightening. I was able to catch part of an early [...]
This week we will turn the all-hearing ear of the Internet to The Cowboy Junkies. They have been around since the mid-80’s and have a sort of folk/rock/blues thing going on. Here is a song you’ve probably heard if you have seen Natural Born Killers. It’s a cover of a Lou Reed/Velvet Underground song. This [...]
I’ve spent the past couple of evenings working on some musical stuff for Andy Tallman. He’s written a bunch of songs and is working on recording them. I’ve offered my (limited) services as a guitarist and bass player and actually got seriously to work on things last night. I’ve often found myself stuck in a [...]
Late last week I was able to track down a copy of a song that I hadn’t heard in about 13 years. That’s nearly half my life not having heard this particular song. It is available streaming online for you to hear! This is not the exact version of this song that I am familiar [...]
This weekend was not 100% about the enforced home renovation. I don’t mind renovating but I prefer it to be on my own schedule and to be replacing something rather than just making it less lousy. On Saturday night, Amy, Heather and I drove up to see The Weakerthans in Guelph at the River Run [...]
