mp3: LØZNINGER - toxic (britney spears cover) LØZNINGER emailed me the other day and suggested i might like his cover of britney spears' "toxic". he was right, i do. these kinds of covers too often end up being painfully ironic... yet this one feels natural.

I'll have video, audio, and commentary from the newest and best from my annual pilgrimage through the New England folk scene anon, probably early [...]

So more and more lately, Canada has been known for great music (especially in certain circles that I frequent in the music blogger world) and ritefully so. But how well do you know Canada? I don't think many of you know too much about the nation of Canada as opposed to it being where half your recent iTunes playlists artists call home. Lets cover some of [...]
Better late then never here is a review of John Sakamoto 's Anti-Hit List for July 22. Going to start off with Sakamoto pointing out a Jay Bennett song, "Survey The Damage" that he had up on his Myspace page but is now gone. There are a couple of tracks from his upcoming album, The Magnificent Defeat, up and a demo as well. I've like Bennett for a while so I'm really interested in this album. Up next is a Scottish band called Edgar Prais. Don't know much about them [...]
