Sasquatch!'s 2012 lineup is officially one day old and that means it's time for some post-reveal analysis. In the pages that follow, we run through the biggest highlights and surprises appearing on this year's bill, in addition to the most glaring omissions. We also highlight five names worth knowing as you prepare for Memorial Day weekend at the Gorge. Highlights Beck Stalk enough festival forums and you'll see Beck's name pop up every now and then. Shortly after these wishlist proposals there's typically a textual scoff and/or write off [...]

The same procedure as every year: Kurz vor Silvester sitze ich wie so ziemlich jeder andere Musikblogger, -journalist und fast jeder -fan vor der schweren Aufgabe, meine Jahrescharts zu erstellen. Und wie immer wird mir spätestens morgen noch ein Album oder Song einfallen, den ich entweder hier vergessen habe oder bis heute noch gar nicht kenne. Das gesagt, hier ist mein kleiner Jahresrückblick. (Inhalt: Schlechte Musik | Konzerte des Jahres | Songs des Jahres | Video des Jahres | Alben des Jahres ) [...]
20. Hey Rosetta! – Seeds Lush strings, crunchy guitars and anthemic crescendos propel this ambitious and addictive collection of songs from underrated Canadian indie-popsters. Hey Rosetta - Yer Spring [...]
Heycoolkid! 100 Best Songs Of 2011 - (26 - 40) . . 40. Hey Rosetta! - "Bandages" Before saying anything about this song, I fully realize that "Bandages" was not released in 2011. It was though new to me this year and the video they put out over the summer for it really impressed me. [...]
We all love lists, and we all love sarcasm. Though, I think its important to reflect upon the last year of music, I'm going to do so through the use of a list. It was a fantastic year full of awesome albums, and I'm going to count down a bunch of my favorites, and give you something to listen to while reading. 30. White Denim - D White Denim - Anvil Everything The bluesy, garage-rock trio White Denim created a psych-rock abstract album that was a bit avant-garde and [...]
If it's December, then you know it's Mixmas time at You Ain't No Picasso! Each year I get a bunch of my favorite bands to contribute themed mixes and share their thoughts about each of the tracks. MP3: Said the Whale - Camillo (The Magician) I heard "Camillo (the Magician)" playing over the speakers in [...]
I've always struggled with words around Hey Rosetta! , which might be the reason this post is so late in going up. Three records in, they've become one of the most reliable acts in Canada over the past few years, consistently delivering quality work on everything they do. I've always loved their stuff, but I've never loved-loved it, you know? I buy the records, I go to the shows, I sing along to all the songs, but they've never managed to sink their hooks in deep enough to stick with me in the way so many other artists that [...]
by teepoo Rather than post you some stupidly generic list of albums you are supposed to expect, I think my top 10 is going to be based on the fact I actually listened to these releases the most this year. Come on , if an album is good, it must be one of your top plays right? These are based on stats according to iTunes and Last.fm plays as well as the fact I physically own them. I don't believe in people's top lists if they [...]
Adele, "Rolling In The Deep" It was astonishingly ubiquitous (okay, overplayed), but every time I hear this I'm still astonished at how good it is. Adele's voice finds its perfect showcase, hitting pleading high notes and low, dirty growls. "You're gonna wish you / Never had met me," the backup singers chirp ominously, as the kick [...]
Tim Baker went from music outsider to insider utterly unprepared. As the front man for Hey Rosetta! , the Canadian artist spent less of his youth sneaking into concerts and more of it learning how to breathe from his diaphragm and sing Italian arias. Since then, his band has drawn genre categorizations ranging from grunge to baroque rock to orchestral folk, building on the traditional four-piece setup with piano and strings. If a mature musical upbringing wasn't enough, Baker matches it with a scholarly penchant for literature and writing, resulting in the band's latest and most lyrically conceptual album, [...]
Hey Rosetta! have been steadily proving that their take on Canadian indie rock can go head-to-head with some of our nation's finest bands. They've been touring heavily behind their Polaris Prize shortlisted LP Seeds with Thursday night's performance at The Phoenix their third show in Toronto to promote the album this year. While other Canadian bands making waves in the scene have been known to put on great live performances (see Arcade Fire, Braids, Rural Alberta Advantage), they tend to approach their songs note-for-note, cut-for-cut. Not Hey Rosetta! [...]
Photograph by Jill Wilcott Being in Hey Rosetta! means being awfully busy. Even on one of their rare days off, when I met up with frontman Tim Baker and cellist/guitarist/utility outfielder Romesh Thavanathan for a traditional Toronto burrito lunch, they were in a whirlwind of interviews and miscellaneous band duties. As of this writing they're back to touring their ambitious Can-rock as they have been, virtually non-stop, for the past few years. The hard work is paying off, as it sometimes does. It's earned the band a spot on the Polaris Prize shortlist for [...]
Download: Hey Rosetta! - "Bandages" I feel like I've been rather late to the party with Hey Rosetta! having only been listening to them for a month or so. "Bandages" was my toe in the water with these Canadians, I caught the live video and instantly jumped on the Hey Rosetta! bandwagon...Hey Rosetta! are magical. [...]
Frank Yang Who: Hey Rosetta! What: Orchestral and open-hearted Polaris perennials from St. John's, Newfoundland Why: They've already been through town a number of times for their latest album Seeds , but clearly it hasn't been enough - hence the two-night stand When: Thursday, November 24, 2011 (that's the second night) Where: The Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto (19+) Who else: The bill features a strong, internationally-flavoured undercard of Seattle's Ivan [...]
O Hey Rosetta! continua com sua turnê Yer Fall Tour pela América do Norte, e na sobra de um tempo entre um show e outro, o baterista da banda, Phil Maloney reuniu imagens de várias apresentações e gravações em estúdio e transformou no clipe da canção Yer Fall , uma das mais belas do álbum, Seeds. Sobre o vídeo, o baterista afirmou: "As duas coisas pelas quais mais sou apaixonado são música e cinema. Apesar de tocar a minha vida toda, e estar há anos fazendo [...]
The Jezabels are a great band that you have to see live and they proved it, along with Hey Rosetta! and Giggle Party at Rickshaw Stop.
by teepoo Time for another weekly top 10! Here's your most visited single-song posts of this week. A ton of new and some really random old old tracks. You guys really do some strange digging sometimes. Position Last Song Link 1 - Young Galaxy- Phantoms video 2 - [...]
by teepoo Check out Hey Rosetta! 's new video for Yer Fall . It contains footage from their studio time at Sonic Temple and also shots from shows this past summer. If you've seen them live this past summer, chances are there might be a shot or two from that shot. I'm pretty sure I see Downsview Park, and that's the one I was at!
