Stories told, songs sung. It's simple this history of ours. Tales of murder, pain, love and loss are written daily and forgotten instantly, but the best are passed from generation to generation like currency, land or genes. In a time where the public is more consumed by those that find and hoard to fuel their own greed or sickness, folklorist Henry Svec - last heard around here under the anonymity of The CFL Sessions - spends his time unearthing stories and documenting melodies for the community. Folk Songs of Canada Now [...]
It’s rare to find a band that surprises, excites, makes you think, gets you dancing, and causes unstoppable fits of laughter. The Burning Hell does all of these and then some. Lead singer/songwriter Mathias Kom may say that his band is dorky but I would have to disagree. The Burning Hell are the coolest kids around.

Everywhere I look there's someone to envy and last week that list got a little longer with the birth of Jenny Omnichord 's baby boy, Otis. You see, on the day of his birth little baby Otis was greeted by an entire album of duets made in [...]
Finally! This is the last installment of my Sappyfest coverage. Click here for day 1, and day 2 can be found here and here . Wow. It's been three weeks since Sappyfest ended and here I am still posting about it. By this point I'd have given up on just about any other topic (some discarded posts of the past include live shows by Sebastien Grainger and King Khan & the Shrines), but this festival was just so damn enjoyable that I feel obligated to spread the love, no matter [...]
