5 November, 2009 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm Who: Herman Dune, Julie Doiron Where: The Bell House Show Info: 18+, 7:30pm, $12 Watch: "Consolation Prize" by Julie Doiron
Julie Doiron is one of the country's musical national treasures. Her unassuming demeanor, loveable cuteness, gorgeous voice, and ability to really rock out when called for are standouts of her live shows. Even more so is the fact that she makes each one feel unique in ways other performers are unable to match. Last Tuesday night's Toronto concert at Lee's Palace was no different. It was, to my mind, also one of the concerts of the year. The show opened with Doiron's friend, Shotgun Jimmie , but his 8:30pm slot was under-advertised, and [...]

I wrote (a poorly written and edited) post not so long ago about Julie Doiron , how I'd inexplicably had never heard any of her music, and how supposedly great she was/is. After soliciting some opinions and getting some feedback, I ended up settling on starting into her collection with her newest album I Can Wonder What You Did With Your Day . So, I listened to it, and didn't really think much of it. It's unassuming, conversational, and not something that is going to blow you away, knock your socks off, or otherwise rock [...]
I feel really weird this morning. Partly I am whizzed off my tits on painkillers, which at least makes the back pain manageable, and partly I took the advice from this thread a little too seriously last night. Ouch. Pills, Caol Ila and Ardbeg: not a winning combination by the time the morning after comes around. So there's no chat this week, you'll be pleased to know. Here are some gigs. Go to them. But good luck picking what to do on Wednesday, because I've no fucking idea myself. Wednesday 23rd September 2009: [...]
We didn't make a real big deal about it this week, but the blog turned one year old Tuesday. Our first post was Sept. 1, 2008 on this web site (not counting a brief aborted start on Blogger, who deleted those posts, which explains why we moved to our own site). It's been fun but also a job to keep up with all the new music coming out. Which is why it seems natural to have a celebration over Labor Day weekend. [...]
Hello, welcome to the Ruthcast. Why the Ruthcast? Because my friend Ruth who runs the Bowery with Jane came round to the house last week to thoroughly upstage me on my own podcast. Last year Ruth was a guest on my Fresh Air radio show and completely and utterly upstaged me, and in this podcast we agreed that she would come on every week this year. And that, frankly, sounds like a bloody good idea to me. I mentioned on the Friday Five a couple of weeks ago that Ellie Greenwich [...]
My parents have been out of town for the past week and a half, and it's a little comforting to know they're almost home. Taking care of the pets and being in charge of my little brother's survival can be stressful at times. It just feels...nice. To know that everything is going to return to normal, that is. Three cheers for coming home. Julie Doiron - "Nice To Come Home" (Download)
(photos via JulieDoiron.com ) One of the most fun things about the interweb music era is finding something new, interesting, but also something that you say to yourself, I'm curious where that came from I want to know more (if you're more smart than me, you'd probably say something eloquent). Anyways, as you may have guessed by my lead in, I'm in that sort of discovery phase with (apparently) Canadian indie music icon, Julie Doiron . This, to me, is a pretty cool thing, since I don't really get [...]
Today I'm posting a song that speaks to every person who has ever been on the losing end of a relationship; Not that it's something to be reminded of, however it's important to note that there are more of us out here. The song does well in reflecting exactly how damaged one can become. All Their Broken Hearts is a song off the album titled Heart and Crime by Julie Doiron , released in 2002. The Canadian singer/songwriter was honored with the Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year in 2002 for [...]
Blogophilia Vol. 9 This edition of Blogophilia features new tracks off unreleased albums from Arctic Monkeys and the Flaming Lips, a couple of rockers from the Henry Clay People and We Were Promised Jetpacks (yet another good Scottish band, Scotland's best export is Rock-n-Roll I guess), and a subtle Blogophilia tribute to John Hughes with a cover of Pretty in Pink by the National. Total running time is 79:03. For those burning onto CDs, you may need to utilize the overburn feature on your burning software. Download by right click/save on the artwork above. [...]

Rebecca Drolen It was a small bright spot and pleasant surprise last week when mail call brought a copy of the new Early Day Miners album, The Treatment . Pleasant because their last album, 2006's Offshore , was an unexpected epic that turned out to be one of my favourites of the year . Offshore won my heart and mind with its sprawling and often desolate sonic topology, all slow and brooding and beautiful. It's a record where the vocals [...]
Rebecca Drolen It was a small bright spot and pleasant surprise last week when mail call brought a copy of the new Early Day Miners album, The Treatment . Pleasant because their last album, 2006's Offshore , was an unexpected epic that turned out to be one of my favourites of the year and surprise because though the band had announced that The Treatment would be coming out this year back in late 2008, more specific information wasn't forthcoming and I [...]
You know the feeling. You pick up a record and play that first song and it totally bowls you over or it leaves you totally underwhelmed. Regardless, we have pretty lofty expectations for that first track. Many would argue that the first track is absolutely the most important. It's not that the other tracks aren't great, but there is something special in the opening track of an album. We also all know how it feels to love the first track on a record, but be totally ambivalent to the other tracks and there is nothing more frustrating. So, if the [...]
