Bry Webb - Former frontman of the late, critically adored Canadian indie band The Constantines headed into the studio with a pair of lap and pedal steel players and a standup bassist to recorded this eerie, quietly intense and compelling debut album...Feist, a friend and admirer, handpicked Webb as a touring partner last year saying "I absolutely admire how unique and connected his playing is. I'd say he's my favorite guitarist I've watched all these years." // Release : Provider (CD: October 2, Idée Fixe; Out Now Digitally) // Sounds like [...]

Don't mess with perfection. That's what they say. I'm not sure who "they" are exactly, but in this case, they're sort of wrong. I'd amend that old aphorism to say, "Don't mess with your own perfection." Consider: As a writer, it's possible to be too much of a perfectionist and ruin perfectly good copy in the revision process. Not that I've ever produced perfect prose, but over the years, I've learned when to let it go. Occasionally, I've hit "publish" to soon, but that's what the edit button is for. I've never created anything as [...]
"Life has a big gap, it just does. You don't drive yourself crazy trying to fill it." -- Sarah Silverman (Geraldine) to Michelle Williams (Margot) in Take This Waltz I just finished watching my DVD of Take This Waltz , and I'm still marveling at how far Michelle Williams has won me over. It's not that I ever had anything against her as an actress. I just disliked Jen Lindley, the character she played for six seasons on Dawson's Creek , so much that I had a hard time separating her from [...]
Siggi Eggertsson I promised more mixtapes, didn't I? A bit about this one: I am on a perpetual conquest to indoctrinate my friends into the world of indie rock and electronica, to varied results. I've found that usually most successful way of doing this is to make a mixtape for them, burn it to a disc, and tell them to put it in their car stereo. That way, when their iPhone only has 5%

A Escandinavia le debemos mucho: desde The Ravonettes hasta The Cardigans pasando por Kings of Convenience y Kashmir. Y es que esta región nos ha ofrecido grandes ejemplos musicales con mucha actitud "hágalo usted mismo" a lo largo de los años, por ello, no es extraño que de aquí provenga este excelente dúo danés llamado Broken Twin , elegido como nuestra banda Under de la semana. La banda está compuesta por Emilie Marie Kjær y Majke Voss Romme, dos jóvenes chicas inspiradas por la vida en el norte [...]

![THE SOIL & THE SUN, YOUNG WONDER [STREAM]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4492896_lg.jpg)
A few nights ago, I was looking for something to do when a friend told me about a concert that was going on in a tiny space downtown. The band playing was The Soil & The Sun , a group of young Michiganians who classify their style as experimental, spiritual folk / new Mexican space music. I was intrigued, so I went - and my, was it a good decision . The Soil & The Sun originated four years ago as a two-piece and have since [...]
Frank Yang So yesterday I talked about where and what Rouyn-Noranda was; today I will do the same for FME . You don't need to be bilingual to discern that "Festival de musique émergente" implies a mandate of focusing on new and upcoming artists, primarily but not exclusively from Québec, with a few relatively big names to bring in the less musically adventurous. It was started ten years ago when the organizers were tired of driving to Montréal eight hours away to see shows and so they started a festival as a pretence to [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive Frank Yang, Chromewaves Leslie Feist is eating a bean salad. That may not seem like especially earth-shattering news but, just 48 hours prior, the thought of consuming solid edibles would've made her retch. Literally: A tour stop in Istanbul last week left her with an unwanted souvenir -- food poisoning. "I passed out in the Munich airport," the Calgary-bred, [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Frank Yang, Chromewaves ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC - From California's Coachella to Chicago's Lollapalooza to Montreal's Osheaga , there's a certain formula for a successful North American summer music festival: lure every available A-list artist to a popular travel destination, pack the schedule with round-the-clock performances across multiple stages, get corporate sponsors to underwrite the expense, and pray that it doesn't rain. Given that it's [...]
