So if you are an Ottawa person, best be known that I will be performing this Friday, from 10pm-1am, at Raw Sugar Cafe. It'll be totally rad and you should really be there.
If you're not in Ottawa, you're going to just have to hire me yourself. Suckers.
Arcade Fire - Ready To Start
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs: I think I just assumed I had already posted it here... but nope. I missed talking about the new Arcade Fire album "The Suburbs". It's pretty wonderful, not as amazing as their first, but will still resolve all of your major cravings. Highly recommended.
Bonobo ft Andreya Triana - Stay The Same (Live): Downtempo maven has a sexy sexy live band. No fucking around here, ALL GOOD.
Cloud Cult - Today We Give Ourselves to the Fire: It's like dorm-room hipsters took a break from their Wii to make a funny hair-metal tribute video.
Dan Mangan - Robots: Oh I just needed to post one more thing from last year's "Nice, Nice, Very Nice".
Eternia And Moss - Any Man
Eternia And Moss - Day In The Life ft Tona And Maestro Fresh Wes: To the shock of hiphop audiences everywhere, 2010 brings us a good Canadian hiphop album, and a good hiphop album by a female. The intersection hasn't really been breached before, but here we are with Eternia's new album "At Last". Highly recommended.
Fresh - Signal: There's a lot of happiness going on here. the muffled, processed vocal samples. The synth pads that evoke the chintzy classics without sucking, the crazy snare runs, the killer bass, the Squarepusher sample nods, it's, once again, ALL GOOD.
Gobble Gobble - End of Days
Gobble Gobble - Lawn Knives: More from this genius! I seriously can't get enough of this guy. Taken from the Secret 7" and the Lawn Knives 7"s respectively, someone please give this man a kiss.
Please?
Hans Zimmer - Radical Notion (Inception OST)
Hans Zimmer - Waiting For A Train (Inception OST): OK, so I was expecting a lot more complexity out of Inception, but bah, I should have never had faith in Nolan after Dark Knight was just a James Bond flick with some noir paint slapped on it. Ah well.
As an action sci-fi flick, Inception was OK. For those of us that wanted something involving a bit more brain straining, we were dissapointed. Luckily the music was kind of awesome, and here are 2 great examples from the soundtrack.
Lia Ices - Grown Unknown: The pulsing guitar really adds an intensity here that never quite delivers, but the precious folk whimsy is more than satisfying enough.
Lloyd Miller & The Heliocentrics - Electricone: a smooth piece of organic and fluttering jazz, from the brand new self-titled album.
Menomena - TAOS: New Menomena! The album is Mines and I haven't heard it, but I love this band I really like this single.
RD - Half A Decade: I dropped some RD remixes back in edition blog20100426, but here's another blissful bit of IDM beats from the new album "Love Up's". So good.
Robyn - Criminal Intent
Robyn - Indestructible (Acoustic Version): Body Talk Pt. 2 is out and rocking shit! Not as good as the first one, it's still amazing. I can't wait for #3.
