This week's mixtape Friday Mixtape was curated by @ColinCrane1234 . Check out Colin Crane's website , and his non-profit the Pulsera Project . Colin writes: This is a mix that has been slowly born with the changing seasons-a transition from the melancholy of winter to a celebration of Spring covering the world in a technicolor blanket, giving new energy to the dreams and visions that had been hibernating for months in the cold. Magic is the flowering of the human potential; let's pull out our wands. There is a solid [...]

THE HEAD AND THE HEART, THE DEVIL WHALE, QUIET LIFE ( Wonder Ballroom , 128 NE Russell) Seattle sextet the Head and the Heart has been making inroads to both heads and hearts with their uplifting repertoire of folk anthems. With their self-recorded debut re-released by Sub Pop and a spirited, joyous live show, they're entering more ears, heads, and hearts than ever-and deservedly so. NED LANNAMANN FLEET FOXES ( Crystal Ballroom , 1332 W Burnside) Of all the records [...]

Band Of Horses The Academy, Bristol - 30/01/2011 Back when I was but a wee (emo-ish) nipper at college, I fell in love with Band Of Horses debut LP Everything All The Time , a record that was packed full of laid back alt-country anthems. While my musical taste may have changed a little since those lazy days, it's still a record I find myself going back to quite often. They have released a further two LP's since [...]

Today's Daily Dose track 'For a While' comes to you from Vancouver band Mojave's second album Crow's Funeral . Mojave are lead singer/guitarist LJ and guitarist/sometimes singer Paul. They are an elusive pair, no last names given, but after hearing their album you could feel as if you know them, such are the depths to which they plunge into their emotions and experiences. Part folkish-rock, part symphonic and entirely emotive, the album is a haunting mix of urgent, pleading vocals, delicate guitars and rich, warm [...]

Mojave hit the Calgary Concert alert with their Cross Canada Tour stop right here in Calgary tonight at Dickens Pub (locals can find it HERE ). They have hit the roads looking for good folks, good vegan cuisine and now a great show here in Cow-Town (is it okay to say cow-town and Vegan in the same sentence?). Well, the socially aware crew are currently touring in support of their newest album "Crow's Funeral" which was released this past May. The album is their second full length release with the previous effort "Stories" [...]
Paul - Mojave Lightning Dust - I Knew I really dig the juxtaposition of electronic & natural instruments. The vocals remind of Tegan & Sara, which is a good thing, they fit well with the instrumentation and sort of float [...]
Hailey Morgan Mojave - Your Silence Betrays You I really liked this song! It had a kind of haunting feel to it like some of Evanescence's music. The guitar picking at the beginning of the song hooked me and I [...]
John Pippus Mojave - Your Silence Betrays You I love this track. I love this band. Full disclosure: I've booked Mojave (pronounced like the desert - "Moe Hahv ee") at a few venues I've been involved with, and shared the stage with them too. [...]
T Mac Mojave - Your Silence Betrays You Very cool track. The front-woman does an amazing job with vocals. She has a very interesting voice. I thought the opening guitar riff was deadly, and definitely set a tone. The [...]
Melissa Endean Mojave - Your Silence Betrays You When I first listened to this tune, I thought "Evanescence!" (Whom I love, by the way!) With vocals on par with Amy Lee, the lead vocalist was a pleasant surprise. Very cunningly produced as well, with [...]
Paul - Mojave "indie" to me means DIY-or-die. free from major labels, PR consultants, and business people making decisions to make themselves more money. it's basically being independent from anyone else controlling our creativity and our music. the band has been approached by labels in the past, and [...]

So yes, it is Canada Day and it is the yearly ritual of a day off from work the celebration of Canada's birth as a nation. Let's rejoice, shall we? 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 [...]
