Top Album No Age | Nouns Why I Liked It: Loud. The album doesn't sound as if it was crafted; more like it was a passionate purging of an internal struggle that would have come out of them in some form, music or otherwise, because it couldn't remain contained. However, it didn't result in some "monkey-with-a-flamethrower angry punk album". It's beautiful art with its constant use of ebbing and flowing fuzz [...]
I always hear people saying this year was a bad one in terms of music. Not including some of the fantastic US releases ( Kozalek, J. Tillman, Black Diamond Heavies, Micah P Hinson, the dual Centro-matic/South San Gabriel, Karl Blau , Neil Halstead , and the trend to showcase your Afro-centric influences all come to mind), the bounty from the Canadian scene in '08 was impressive and for me, picking my favorites was a challenging task. While some might think that is a sign of mediocrity, I think it shows the solid collection of albums available this year. [...]
Here are my 50 favourite songs of 2008: the ones I really, really, really, really like. I decided not to include any artist twice, nor any songs from albums I heard last year. I made similar lists in 2005 , 2006 and 2007 . The best way to browse this list is to click the little arrow beside each song and then listen as you read. The things you like you can then download by right- or ctrl-clicking with your mouse. Please buy albums, singles and [...]

None of this really makes up a coherent post, so I'm going to throw out some mp3s for your consideration. Tonight is a sort of Toad Sessions Live gig at the Voodoo Rooms , with both Meursault (this weekend's session) and Sparrow & the Workshop (next month's session) on the ever-splendid bill at Limbo. I am nearly finished my 'staring at a computer screen in my underpants' phase, thank goodness. The Meursault Session is finished.

Adam & The Amethysts / Amethyst Amulet ( Pome ) Adam Waito, as in "& The Amethysts", might be best known to people as the keyboardist in Miracle Fortress - which is to say that he's probably not known to people at all.

Adam & the Amethysts - "The Return" . Time works differently in the lake. On the surface it's all silver-flash, fish-fast, slap and splash and light-on-drops. But underneath - everything's slow, lunar, with weeds & shadows & long white legs. "The Return" isn't a song about swimming but it's a song about all those other things: dip, slip, gleam, flash, hide & find, rise & dive, love and ache, belly-flop, cannonball, swan's flight. It's like The Microphones as produced by The Neptunes (or like a wedding ring in a trout's belly). Adam's found a way to fold butterflies in half. [...]
