Lee Harvey Osmond: Tom Wilson Talks All-Star 'Folk Sinner' and Thirty Year Career

Mar 22, 12:16pm Spinner.com

Filed under: News , Exclusive Lee Harvey Osmond Tom Wilson answers his phone while trudging through a bitterly cold Hamilton, Ont. morning on the way to see his grandson. I have to do a double-take. Grandson? Is it possible that Wilson, the hulking figurehead of Hamilton's rough-edged, blue-collar rock scene for the past 30 years, is now a doting granddad? I then remind myself that there have been many misconceptions about Wilson since he rose to prominence [...]

THIS WEEK'S BEST BET: Alt-J w/ Hundred Waters Wednesday, March 6 Masquerade - 695 North Avenue NE in Atlanta 30308 SOLD OUT!

Covered In Folk: Fred Eaglesmith (12 roots and countryfolk artists interpret a Canadian storyteller)

Mar 3, 4:34pm Cover Lay Down

Canadian alternative country singer-songwriter Fred Eaglesmith 's down-to-earth approach to the universe comes from a rural farmstead childhood and a train-hopping past. And so, where other folk artists walk with their fans, Eaglesmith takes trains: both literally - Eaglesmith is known for his rail tours - and as a dominant subject, setting, and metaphor for a narrative approach more broadly grounded in engines, their various rural incarnations, and the escape they embody. Eaglesmith's delivery is raw as the bawdy stories her tells between songs in live performance: couched in a voice that [...]

"Rust and Bone" Isn't All About Marion Cotillard!

Dec 15, 2012, 9:34pm THEME FOR GREAT CITIES

If you're a film director aiming for critical acclaim, there are better ways to earn it than by prominently featuring Katy Perry in your movie. Yet there she is, screeching her No. 1 hit "Firework" on the soundtrack during several key scenes in French director Jacques Audiard's Rust and Bone ( De rouille et d'os ), including one that features Marion Cotillard doing some killer whale trainer moves that look cooler than anything Perry did in the "Firework" video.

Albums: 2012

Dec 10, 2012, 7:00am Quick Before It Melts

There was a point a little while back, while I was starting to think about this annual post, when I honestly didn't know what would end up being on my list of 10 favourite albums of 2012.  In flipping back through my music library from the past year, I had accumulated fewer albums in 2012 than in previous years, so initially it seemed like it would be easy to pick a group of 10 from a shorter list.  However, as in years past, of the records that would be eligible for the list, there were a glut of them than [...]
