Tipps für eine Woche voller besserer Musik. Diese Woche mit kanadischem Herzblut und einem Fluchtplan. Montag, 11. Februar 2013 Wenn Genrebezeichnungen noch zu begeistern vermögen: Elliott Brood kommen aus Toronto und machen Deathcountry Musik. Wer eine Hörprobe davon möchte, galoppiert am Montag ins Zürcher El Lokal. Dienstag, 12. Februar 2013 Auf einem weiteren Sechssaiter aus Kanada wird am Dienstag in der St. Galler Grabenhalle rumgeschrammelt. Julie Doiron , Ex-Frontfrau der Indieband [...]
...and realized I didn't have a post ready for today. Last Friday I brought you a live performance from The Folk that the good folks at Snow Day Studios dressed up for their Violet Sound Session series. Check the sweet sounds of Julie Doiron doing one of her classic tracks in the next installment in the series. And if you haven't checked out Julie's latest LP, So Many Days , here's my review from November. CBC Music: [...]
Live music picks for MONDAY JANUARY 21 through SATURDAY JANUARY 26, 2013. MONDAY JANUARY 21 / THE AMAZING / HORSESHOE TAVERN / 368 QUEEN W / $11.50 / 19+ While The Amazing may be lacking in the name department, this Swedish quartet has a unique sound that can best be described as a blend folk rock and psychedelic pop. Their 2012 album, Gentle Stream , was met by much critical acclaim, and the Horseshoe should prove to be a perfect venue [...]

Eric's Trip are one of the semi-forgotten slacker rock bands of the ’90s. Their songs were often cloaked in fuzz, vocals way low in the mix. Everyone sounded half asleep. It was awesome. Julie Doiron, ... read more »
And on the fourth day... I still bring you even more of the songs that rocked my world in 2012. Are they're all good. Here's the skinny: I'm giving you the 75 songs, split into five collections of 15 songs each, that soundtracked the year for me. There will be a post a day this week from Monday to Friday (You can click back to Monday's post to get the first part, Tuesday's post for part 2, and Wednesday's post part 3) , and you can collection them all to get a pretty awesome [...]
Like we always do at this time, today Ca Va Cool presents the 20 albums we collectively overplayed and played loud in 2012. The first half of our list includes some faithful R&B from the unlikely state of Colorado, past CVC favourites both noisey and subdued, psychedelic rock from the West coast of Australia, cinematic Neil Young covers, coming-of-age rap from the city of Compton, a new indie rock superduo of sorts, and turn of the century hipsters growing up. Don't read too much into that last one, we'll continue our list-making ways for years to come. [...]
Cuatro años después de su fecha original de lanzamiento el documental Eric's Trip: 1990 - 1996 , registro histórico de los canadienses Eric's Trip  compilado por su guitarrista Rick White, ve la luz de manera gratuita en http://www.ericstripmovie.com/ content/ . En palabras de White, "... el metraje y la música están en orden cronológico pero a la vez distribuidos en una trama intencional. Algunos de estos conciertos los tengo completos, otros apenas un pedazo. Aunque todos los clips usados, las letras de las canciones, las fotos, todo junto fue elegido para contar la verdadera historia [...]
If you've stuck around this long you might as well pay attention until it's over, right? This is the third part of my five-part list detailing my favorite albums of 2012. If you missed the first two parts of the list, you can check them out right here . Also, I saw three of these bands live at Fest 11 and they were all pretty great. Enough about that, check out the list. Enjoy. 30. Julie Doiron - So Many Days (Aporia) On So Many [...]
Colin Medley This here is another of those posts that, were it a category on Jeopardy , would be called "Potpourri" on account of it being a whole lot of this and that with only the passports of the artists mentioned in common. And I'll start with Toronto's METZ because, well, I haven't used one of their photos yet and my posting process is really that random. The trio has been making a lot of noise - literally and figuratively - on the back of their self-titled debut , and while it [...]
This one is a no brainer, folks. Julie has a songbook as thick as a Tolstoy novel and one of equal quality. Her latest, So Many Days , is essential listening and easily one of the best records put out this year . The fact you get two tickets to a solo show in the cozy confines of The Company House with Jon McKiel is opening and a copy of her record on vinyl is almost an embarrassment of riches. The show is December 5th. Start your holiday the right way, and go see [...]
It's Thanksgiving here in the U.S. and we thought everyone deserved a mix today. So enjoy this mix of promotional tracks from September. Thanks for visiting our litter corner of the interwebs.

Imagine a photo album, handsome and leather-bound, well-worn corners smelling of adhesive and nostalgia. The pictures inside, arranged and re-arranged a number of times are all of a trip, a long journey that's taken some time to complete, and maybe hasn't even finished yet. Now imagine if each page sang a song to you as you gazed at it's collage of photos, and you'll get a sense of what listening to Julie Doiron 's So Many Days is like. Her third album to be produced by former Eric's Trip bandmate Rick White, [...]
For someone who has been writing and performing music for over 20 years now, you'd think that song-writing comes quite naturally to Julie Doiron by now. But halfway through the opening track of her new album, So Many Days , we are taken straight to the centre of the musician's thought process and learn that this isn't the case at all. "I'm writing this song to prove to myself that maybe I can write songs," Doiron admits on "Cars and Trucks." It's this kind of earnest, almost stream-of-consciousness honesty that's the crux of Doiron's work, [...]
To a casual Canadian music fan, it might be tempting to cast Julie Doiron as the battered and bruised fighter that can't stop taking punches. You look at her life - one mostly spent traveling in vans and singing songs, documenting her most intimate moments in sonic boombast and gentle picks - and wonder how she's still standing. True fans know she deserves better; whether that be timing or simple appreciation, Doiron's lot in life never seemed to equal her talent or output. Honestly, you just hope that things finally work out. That's [...]
…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead – Lost Songs (Richter Scale/Superball Music) Depois do discreto Tao Of The Dead , de 2009, o ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead retorna com a fúria e a urgência de Lost Songs . Esse trabaho marca o reencontro de Conrad Keely e Jason Reece com o baixista Autry Fulbright II e o baterista Jamie Miller , formação que rendeu boas declarações de Reece, ao afirmar que essa união fez [...]

Yes indeed the 20th Anniversary Edition of the Halifax Pop Explosion is but a mere week away from starting, and as you can plainly see via the use of an exclamation mark in the title of this post, this is exciting news. If you're in Halifax and reading this, I have to assume you're already planning on attending some or all of the HPX festivities, but what of the folks coming from away? People do come from away for HPX, right (I'd ask for someone to tell us if they're coming to their first HPX [...]
