It's funny how I went from pure excitement over this 'Broken Social Scene Presents' series, to pretty much forgetting about the whole thing entirely after last year's inaugural entry from Kevin Drew . That being said, no surprise that the announcement of bassist Brendan Canning's debut quietly went through one ear and out the other. Come to think of it - it wouldn't surprise me if a slight percentage of folks wouldn't even know who Canning even is without the Broken Social Scene moniker attached. That could [...]

Toronto, ON "Hit The Wall" Brendan Canning on MySpace Brendan Canning on The Hype Machine

Another edition of Futurecast this Friday, in place of the standard Live Friday, which happens from time to time. Futurecast, if you've never heard of it before, is the segment in which I get a little farther ahead of the game and talk about music that's not quite in stores just yet. Today we can say I'm sort of cheating in terms of the Futurecast definition, but I hope you won't hold it against me. First up, something new from the 2nd Broken Social Scene Presents: offshoot project, this time headed up by Brendan Canning. If you recall, [...]

If you want to really obsess about Bonnaroo for endless hours, I highly recommend checking out Inforoo , the Bonnaroo message board. You [...]

ARTIST: After the Gold Rush.007 Free mp3s from South, Stereolab, Sunny Day Sets Fire, Ratatat and more! DATE: 05-21-08 WRITER: Mark Ziemke PHOTO: Old-Timer McGee I got mad spring fever over here! So much new music for the summer and the bands and labels have said, "hey, let's just give these people a little morsel." Which translates into, FREE MUSIC. There are all sorts of projects up for grabs this week, including South, Stereolab, Sunny Day Sets Fire, [view more]

Ok, ok, so this is a little late. Alright, a lot late. But, in my defense, I did a lot of moving over the past week-and-a-half or so. Not only for myself, but for others as well. As a result, I haven't given these tracks the consideration they are due. So this will be an especially quick 50 words. And the word count may skew closer to 65, or 10, depending on how stream-of-consciousnessy I'm feeling. So here we go! The top ten tracks on Elbo.ws for the first half of May. 1. The Radio Department - "Freddie [...]
...well, at least touched down. I've arrived in Portland, but didn't get to do this week's show live, because I had to go to Seattle (actually, Bellevue) for the weekend. I won't get to do next week's show in the studio either, but May 30th, I'll be officially back in the saddle. artist - song - album :: extra info Tu Fawning - Out Like Bats - Secession EP ( myspace | @ Local Cut | Corrinna Repp | 31Knots ) [...]

Each week (or whenever we have time) we take a listen to some of the top songs from elbows, review them and then give our selection of alternative tracks that we believe should be getting more recognition Sunny Day Sets Fire "Brainless" This song reminds me a little bit of Cloud Cult's "Pretty Voice" in the openng lines just for the sheer blissfull hopefullness of the sound and a similar pattern in the melody. It could possibly also be compared to the polyphonic spree, only [...]

New Death Cab for Cutie coming out today, their - I don't know, 7th? album... let's do the math: Something about Airplanes (excellent), We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes (their best), The Forbidden Love EP (another best), The Photo Album (excellent), Stability EP (excellent), You Can Play These Songs with Chords (B-sides and extras, excellent), Transatlanticism (merely ok), The John Byrd EP (live tracks, eh), Plans (not very good). So that's like 10 albums, although new [...]

It's no secret that I love the Broken Social Scene. So I'm pretty excited at the prospect of the next record in the awkwardly-titled Broken Social Scene Presents... series and this time it is Brendan Canning's turn. Canning has played in nearly every Canadian band over the last fifteen years so it's about time he gets his own turn in the spotlight with a solo* record. The first taste of the record, Something For All of Us... , below. Download Brendan Canning - [...]

so, may seems to have gotten of to a bit of a slow start around these parts...might have something to do with the beautiful weather outside...or not...anyway, one slept on item of note from this earlier week is the news that the second of the broken social scene presents series will arrive on july 22, highlighting the talents of brendan canning, possessor of the band's best beard...the album's being called something for all of us...

(Mason Jennings) Good news, everyone: Your favorite pretentious internet writer has found himself some employment. The bad news? Uh, MFR hasn't exactly been a hotbed of breaking news. As if it ever was. HA! However, since I have some time off before I start my new job on Monday, I thought I would take the time to make a Catch-Up Playlist of all the tracks that have broken since I started a brief temp job last Thursday (as well as some others that have been sitting on my desktop for a long, long time). There's going to be [...]
The Good: Track of the Week!!!: Young Jeezy (feat. Kanye West) - "Put On"; It may be a bit repetative. It may be Southern rap to the extreme, which is kind of getting lame. But it's got Kanye, it's got a sick beat, and just try not bopping along with this track. This is sick to the next degree! Grade: A Bun B. (feat. Lil' Wayne) - "Damn I'm Cold"; Oh man this beat is freakin' hot! No really,
