Happy Labour Day Weekend! Its definitely the end of summer and people will be back in school or work.

Land Of Talk drops to #2 and this week the music video for Quarry Hymn is out. Holding steady is Broken Social Scene's All To All (remix) and this week the fourth remix has been out and its the Jojoflores and Rom remix. While there are [...]

It was night three and the last night for the i(heart)music festival that happened on August 28th. It was a big night because seven bands was playing not just one but two rooms at Mavericks and Cafe Dekcuf. The night happened to be The Love Machine 's CD Release show for their long awaited full length " Sweather Weather ". At least there was a good set up to know who to see at Mavericks and Cafe Dekcuf without freaking out on who you missed out. [...]
Sweden's water must have some magic pop potency, as yet again we're fishing out another great up-and-coming burning talent in the form of singer/songwriter/chanteuse Non Tiq and, as the project is literally a year old, we think we're striking while the proverbial iron is hot. Really, really hot. Like, get your flame-retardant gloves and masks [...]
List of who is playing at this year's event. Its the last week of summer and either people need some musical fun to end it off. Here is one mini-festival/show that you should check out.

The Love Machine is a Ottawa band that I always cover on this site when they play their live shows. After two EPs, one from 2005 and one from 2007. They finally released their first full-length album called "Sweater Weather". For those not living in the Ottawa area, the band consist of: Sean Prescott Allan Gauthier Jordan David Michael Laing They've been playing some of the songs on this album for over two years now * [...]

Twitter this morning alerted me to a couple brand spankin' Van She Tech remixes. The guys took some time out from recording what one can assume is a new album to make these booties in preparation for their upcoming Splendour In The Grass Dj set (which i'll no doubt hear all about come Monday...) The Love Machine - Funky Tambourine (Van She Tech Bootleg) Ce Ce Peniston - Finally (Van She Tech Bootleg) Did you know, this 'Choice' remix of the original was produced [...]

I was working steadily on Saturday night, and unsure whether I should even leave the house for some fun, but about 11:30pm I decided it was time for a break. I was at Rancho Relaxo by midnight, in time to catch the final two bands on the bill that night: Ottawa's the Love Machine and Amos the Transparent , also from the nation's capital. The Love Machine played a full, happy set of exuberant, catchy songs. Mostly new ones, they said. I was impressed, and the crowd certainly was, [...]

This year's NXNE festival was going to have to be more about quality than quantity. Here's the deal: I was out of town during the day which means that there is no way to catch any of the daytime shows. Also, since complete alertness was going to be required of me, I would also have to get to bed at a reasonable hour. Yes, this is the old man's version of the summer festival, but this only meant that being all random about my selections was not an option. I had to choose wisely within those specified boundaries.
