While technically Bob Dylan doesn't turn 70 until May 24, it's my turn in the Mix Tape rotation, so I thought I'd use this opportunity to do a little early celebrating. With 34 studio albums to his credit there is no shortage of material to choose from, from arguably one of the most influential musicians of all time. While I'm not claiming that this is the definitive Dylan playlist, I've decide to highlight some of my personal favorite tunes from Mr. Zimmerman that range from some of the obvious essentials to a few deeper cuts that [...]

Another gem surfaced for me this morning on SoundCloud, this time from Black Diamond Bay out of Leeds in the UK. Black Diamond Bay are a six piece band playing a pretty unique brand of electro-folk music. They've drawn comparisons with the likes of Massive Attack ( Boom Boom CHK ) and are also a touch similar to Breton albeit in a much less industrial manor. If Death Cab for Cutie had more synths and a female vocalist, it would sound similar to this. Their latest single is called 'Philharmonic Bubbles', it was out [...]
Montreal band, Black Diamond Bay , is made up of the Dears' former guitarist, Patrick Krief, and drummer, George Donoso III as well as Alexandre Lapointe on bass and Roberto Piccioni on keyboards. They started the project after Krief recorded his 7 song solo EP, Take it Or Leave , in 2007. 2010 finds the band releasing a new single called "Philharmonic Bubble." These guys have a Massive Attack vibe to them and are pretty good to boot. The track is very smooth and soothing even if it does have vocoded lyrics throughout. Put it [...]

The surprise comes in the form of Black Diamond Bay , a Leeds based electro-funk-folk band whom I've heard of before but never had the chance to see live or check out because I am a BUSY BUSY MAN!

As you can tell by the lack of general show reviews in April, the month was a bit of a write-off as far as show goings are concerned. I did see a couple of great ones, but I didn't end up going to any of the ones that I was planning on checking out. Hopefully May will be a little bit more fruitful in that area. So let's stop regretting the past and move boldly forward into the future, shall we? Tonight, Friday May 1st , is the CD release party for Black Diamond Bay 's [...]

Last night, just hours before The Dears were set to kick off their six-week North American tour tonight in Toronto, the band's tour bus was stolen from the parking lot of a Comfort Inn in Montreal while the driver slept in his hotel room. Fear not, because the show will go on - but keep your eyes peeled for a misplaced bus. The coach was stolen from the Comfort Inn lot, located at 700 Blvd. in St. Jean, Pointe-Claire, Montreal, prior to a scheduled 6 a.m. departure. Thankfully, there was no [...]
