Blackout Beach - Claxxon's Lament Billy liked to imagine his voice held the grit and gravitas of Christian Bale's Batman when he talked to himself in his head. "Let's drive on out of this cesspool of humanity," he thought, looking out from behind his tinted windows and shifting into third. In the passenger seat next to him lay an old wooden baseball bat. It had a splintery chip a few inches long at the top, where blood had crusted. "I'm a professional fucker-uper," Billy said aloud, but [...]
Mother nature did not cooperate on the last day of the Ottawa Folk Festival . So there was alot of rescheduling of the music workshops that was suppose to happened on the Sunday afternoon. Mostly spent being inside the Bowie Theatre all day. But overall with the chaos that happened, things went pretty smoothly. The workshop that I saw were: Sunny Side Up with Robyn Dell'Unto , The Musettes and Ladies of the Canyon [...]

One of the problems you can run into sometimes when you write a music blog and work at a radio station is that there is often just too much music to listen to. E-mails, direct mails, download sites, promoters, other blogs... there's a lot to keep up with. I'm not asking anyone to feel sorry for me... it's a nice problem to have... I'm just trying to explain why it can take something like six months for me to finally get around to writing about an album like Let's Just Stay Here from Carolyn Mark and [...]
Canadian alt-country balladeers NQ Arbuckle teamed up with singer-songwriter Carolyn Mark this past year for a collaborative release. The result was the full-length "Let's Just Stay Here", released through Vancouver's Mint Records mid-October. The album marks the first release from NQ Arbuckle since their 2008 Juno-nominated released XOK , and the first from Carolyn Mark since her 2007 LP "Nothing is Free". Driven by the strong storytelling one comes to expect from an NQ Arbuckle piece, and harmonies from Mark that often impress over the melody, Officer Down is one of [...]
![It's a Team Mint Xmas Vol. 2! – Mint Records [X-mas Audio #9]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2216434_lg.jpg)
I gotta tellya, I find Mint Records to be a maddeningly inconsistent label, albeit one with a ridiculous amount of spirit propelling it forward (hear/sample some of it via the two FREE MP3s posted below). It's a Team Mint Xmas Vol. 2 , sure enough, does double duty when it comes to testing my patience, its songs jumping wildly from rock-a-billy-fried punk to Ventures -esque instrumental rock to Social Distortion / Mike Ness -style acoustic storytelling to ecstatic pop with no twee [...]
Buckle up. I know the last thing you need is yet another list from herohill, but this is the list full of big hitters. Twenty records that blew me away in '09 and a few special treats for all you loyal hill-ians. 20 Band:: The Great Bloomers Album:: Speak of Trouble Review:: http://www.herohill.com/2009/0 4/reviews-great-bloomers-speak -of-trouble.htm 1) What was your best musical moment of '09?

Much like Kasey's two sentence reviews, I thought I'd bang out a couple of pieces that have been floating around in my Google Docs account in various forms of incompletion and combine them into one post instead of just deleting them. Sometimes it's hard to find something to say about every. single. cd you like, but I'll usually at least give it a shot. These are those shots: PETE BERNHARD - STRAIGHT LINE Pete Bernhard is one third of the phenomenal [...]
Carolyn Mark is my new hero. I'd never seen her live before she and NQ Arbuckle played a double, actually triple, bill at the Dakota Tavern in Toronto on Thursday, October 22. The Dakota is exactly the kind of place you want to see this show. Its like a dusty Texas saloon, only downtown in a major metropolis. The capacity is maybe 200, and it was only two-thirds full that night, the second night of their CD release party for Let's Just Stay Here . [...]
Here are some thoughts on music I could get to properly this week: Carolyn Mark, Let's Just Stay Here Recorded with N.Q. Arbuckle, this album is full of warm, roots rock. If you like your Canadian imagery in your music this one's for you. With lyrics like "it's hard to be a good man listening to the Drive-By Truckers" how can you go wrong? Mark also has a new cookbook out this week. Carolyn
This is my favorite picture of Falcon Heene, mainly because it's one of the few where he looks like he has an idea of what a freakin' creep his father is. Anyway, amid the sheriff's press conferences implying the family's too poor to fine, youtube spoofs and the Halloween costumes , Huffington Post columnist David Wild has come up with something NHT can sink its teeth into: a balloon boy playlist . If & when NHT has the track we'll slip it in there. Suggestions welcome! In a week we'll revisit and maybe get the whole thing in [...]

I think I've always like the idea of Carolyn Mark more than I've actually liked her output. I know that back handed compliment would make McEnroe proud and infuriate her fans (and her maybe). It's impossible to not acknowledge or recognize her talent, but I never found her previous releases something I could sink my teeth into. Her beautiful, slightly husked voice and melancholic alt-country tunes always sound good to me on a casual listen, I just never really gravitated back for multiple listens. Let's Just Stay Here changes all that. [...]

Je hebt wel eens zo'n plaat waar je een klik mee hebt, zoals ze dat tegenwoordig noemen, ook al kun je niet zeggen wat er nou precies zo bijzonder aan dat album is. Ik heb dat nu met het nieuwe album van Clay George . Ik moet eerlijk bekennen dat ik niet eerder van de man had gehoord, ook al bracht hij al wat albums uit en zong hij mee op twee CD's van Carolyn Mark . Maar op dit moment draai ik eigenlijk weinig anders van Clay George's nieuwe album. De Canadees maakt redelijk traditionele Americana. [...]
Half A Dozen Great Songs About Booze I watched Martin Scorsese's phenomenal Bob Dylan documentary No Direction Home again last night. One of my favourite moments near the start of the film, when Bob's recalling the music that affected him growing up, is the clip of Webb Pierce , the best-selling country star of the 1950s, singing his Number 1 hit There Stands The Glass. MP3: Webb Pierce - There Stands The [...]
