Though it falls on Columbus Day, Canadian Thanksgiving Day seems relatively untainted by the parallel history of white privilege and savagery which have come to typify the two American holidays with which it shares either date or name. Rather, though giving thanks in the territories is still partially grounded in the European exploration of territories and provinces, Thanksgiving Day in Canada was originally established as a harvest holiday, pure and simple, first as a natural extension of the human need to celebrate the cornucopia, and subsequently by proclamation, in 1957. My connection to Canadian Thanksgiving is familial: [...]
Dala : Ohio [ purchase ] I would like to believe that I can write the words "Kent State Massacre", and everyone would know what I was talking about. But it probably isn't the case. When it happened in 1970, it was easy to believe that no one would ever forget it, and that was what Neil Young wanted to make sure of when he wrote Ohio for Crosby Stills Nash and Young. I was nine and a half at the time, but I had an older brother who was in [...]
It's Spring, and that means rebirth: when the earth reemerges from the earth, covered in last year's leaves. When the morning is filled with brave still-chilled birds, proffering a soundtrack for our triumphant return. It's also school vacation, and that means our annual trip down to North Carolina's Outer Banks, where we join up with family members more typically spread far and wide across the country, enough to spill into two adjacent houses. In past years, as with most of our excursions to various and sundry parts of the world, [...]
Regular readers know that I suffer from chronic ear problems brought on by congenitally small eustachian tubes, coupled with a permanent, high-pitched half-hissing, half-ringing noise which worsens significantly when my ears are blocked. Listening to music in this state, I once wrote, is like trying to hear the good stuff underwater, and surrounded by keening whales . What I may not have mentioned before is that several years ago I made the decision to manage these two related medical issues by having tubes installed in both of my ears - a [...]
Every Wednesday, I feature a brief review of at least one album that has been submitted to me through the ReviewShine website. I have cleverly titled this recurring segment "ReviewShine Wednesday. This week, I'm taking a look back at an album that I should have reviewed some time ago. I first downloaded Amelia Curran's Hunter, Hunter back in September around the time she was releasing it in the United States after it had already become a critical success in Curran's homeland of Canada.

As you can see above - yes, that's me with my hands to the sky, dancing sidestage in full-on last-day-of-the-festival mode - this year's annual excursion into the folkfields was a grand success. So good, in fact, that I'm writing this on the porch, reluctant to come inside lest the residual joy of the previous 11 days leech off in the presence of real toilets and showers, refrigerated food, and electric lighting. But in the end, it was also a study in contrast, with Grey Fox bigger than ever, and [...]
I first posted a song from Sing Me To Sleep: Indie Lullabies in January , and recently received the gorgeous limited first edition from indie label American Laundromat Records. The compilation benefits the non-profit childrens' charity The Valerie Fund , and features a wide variety of charming, serene covers by various indie acts - including Stars, Jenny Owen Youngs, The Real Tuesday Weld, Dean & Britta, O+S, Tanya Donelly, Trespassers William, and Laura Gibson. Sing Me To Sleep will be released on May 18th. [...]
I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting when I dug this disc out of the pile of submissions that's seemingly growing by its own volition next to my desk. I vaguely remember seeing the cover of this Dala album as I popped the disc from its housing, and knowing my mindset, I'm almost certain that I was filing this one into some sort of inspirational ambient trance vocal category. Well, it is a vocal thing, and definitely has some inspirational aspects to it, but I never expected Everyone Is Someone to have the effect on [...]
Dala is the beautifully mesmerizing folk/pop of Canadian bff's Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther. For reference sake, they're kind of a cross between Aimee Mann and a more upbeat Azure Ray - no small comparison. Intimately but forcefully acoustic, Carabine and Walther mix quirky subtleties in with the catchy and soothing melodies. Deftly playing off each other's voices, their precious harmonies hit in all the right places, carefully placed for a commanding effect. Their fourth album, Everyone Is Someone , was released in June, and the first single "Levi Blues" is already [...]
Un tributo a The Smiths
¿Cuántos discos "tributo a…" han escuchado? Parece un método eficiente el de reunir a muchas bandas, hacer que elijan la canción que más les guste de un grupo y ponerlos a tocar para así grabar un disco que, seguramente se venderá. Tal vez no es el proceso adecuado el [...]
Album Review: Please, Please, Please: A Tribute to The Smiths
Love or hate The Smiths , it's a testament to their songwriting legacy that the B-side "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" alone has been covered more than a dozen times by artists ranging from the Deftones and The Dream Academy to Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. Reactions to The Smiths' music run from delirious adoration to not being able to stand the sound of Morrissey's voice; Please, Please, Please is a must-get for the former category and just may be the most perfectly acceptable dose of Moz for those who fall into the [...]

Dala - Everyone Is Someone
Some voices were just meant to be together. We realized that pretty quickly when listening to Everyone Is Someone , the third album of striking folk/pop from Toronto's Amanda Walther and Sheila Carabine, AKA Dala . It's actually fitting that the their name should come from combining the last syllable of their first names since their sound is so dependent on the intricate juxtaposition of their lovely voices in harmony. Like The Indigo Girls, The Webb Sisters or fellow Canadians Madison Violet, Dala travel musically amidst contemporary folk landscapes that tap into the traditions of the past, in [...]

The compilation benefits the non-profit childrens' charity The Valerie Fund , and features a wide variety of charming, serene covers by various indie acts - including Stars, Jenny Owen Youngs, The Real Tuesday Weld, Dean & Britta, O+S, Tanya Donelly, Trespassers William, and Laura Gibson. Sing Me To Sleep will be released on May 18th. [...]

Dala and friends to perform "Songs Inspired By the North Country" for PBS
If you've ever wanted to be in a crowd shot on continent-wide television here's your chance. On February 4th Toronto-based duo Dala will be joined by The Good Lovelies and Oh Susanna for an evening entitled Girls from the North Country. The three bands will be performing "songs inspired by the northern landscape" written by Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan, and others.
Dala - Everyone Is Someone
Some voices were just meant to be together. We realized that pretty quickly when listening to Everyone Is Someone , the third album of striking folk/pop from Toronto's Amanda Walther and Sheila Carabine , AKA Dala . It's actually fitting that the their name should come from combining the last syllable of their first names since their sound is so dependent on the intricate juxtaposition of their lovely voices in harmony. Like The Indigo Girls, The Webb [...]

Dala - Everyone Is Someone
I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting when I dug this disc out of the pile of submissions that's seemingly growing by its own volition next to my desk. I vaguely remember seeing the cover of this Dala album as I popped the disc from its housing, and knowing my mindset, I'm almost certain that I was filing this one into some sort of inspirational ambient trance vocal category. Well, it is a vocal thing, and definitely has some inspirational aspects to it, but I never expected Everyone Is Someone to have the effect on [...]

Sweet sweet Canadian Dala
Dala is the beautifully mesmerizing folk/pop of Canadian bff's Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther. For reference sake, they're kind of a cross between Aimee Mann and a more upbeat Azure Ray - no small comparison. Intimately but forcefully acoustic, Carabine and Walther mix quirky subtleties in with the catchy and soothing melodies. Deftly playing off each other's voices, their precious harmonies hit in all the right places, carefully placed for a commanding effect. Their fourth album, Everyone Is Someone , was released in June, and the first single "Levi Blues" is already [...]
