Patrick Watson @ Soirée de poche - Slip into your skin from La Blogotheque on Vimeo . What can you say? I'm dumb-founded.
Yeah, it's an old video (shout out to Ashley), so what? I'm left speechless watching. ("To Build A Home" = one of my favorite songs of all time. Way to pick up Patrick Watson for it, TCO.) Suitable for coming home on a weekend night. The Cinematic Orchestra - "To Build A Home" [MP3] (left click) (Also, I'm definitely working on the same wavelength as i'm waking up to ... , he JUST posted this song like two [...]

Le nouvel album du canadien Patrick Watson, 'Wooden Arms', est annoncé pour le mois de Mai sans plus de détails. Le successeur de 'Close To Paradise' (2006) a été écrit durant un hiver à Montréal et enregistré entre Montréal et l'Islande l'année dernière. Watson s'est chargé de la production avec les membres de son groupe, le bassiste Mishka Stein, le batteur Robbie Kuster, et le guitariste Simon Angell. Tracy's Waters que vous pouvez télécharger ci-dessous est un petit bijou de folk-song déglinguée qui se transforme sans prévenir en symphonie de poche aux riches mais discrets arrangements. [...]

Ceux qui sont venus aux trois dernières Soirées de Poche y ont vu des caméras, mais n'ont rien vu de ce qu'elles avaient fait là. On a mis le temps, c'est vrai, mais on avait une bonne raison, on préparait un truc un peu nouveau, pour lequel il a fallu pas mal d'investissement, et pour lequel on a voulu prendre le temps de bien faire les choses. Et c'est enfin là, avec une première série de vidéos, filmées lors de la prestation de Patrick Watson . Voilà donc, La Blogothèque lance un nouveau site. Il s'appelle [...]

The folk-genre has seen a strong resurgence in the past several years. The leaders and visionaries of the current movement are Sam Beam [Iron and Wine], Ray LaMontagne, Devendra Banhart, Jose Gonzalez, Bonnie "Prince" Billy and Damien Rice. A second tier of promising artists are Patrick Watson , Bon Iver , Cass McCombs , Fionn Regan, J. Tillman , A.A. Bondy , and Damien Jurado . Add British singer-songwriter Pete Greenwood to the list of rising stars. His debut album Sirens is stunning, especially for a guy [...]
By now I am sure most of you know who has won the Polaris Prize, as I am a little on the late side reporting on this. For those that I am surprising....the winner was Caribou! If you felt that announcement lacked excitement (As I'm sure we can all agree), you can see last years winner Patrick Watson make the announcement below.

Pour être totalement honnête, ce n'est pas vraiment cette chanson que j'avais en tête en me réveillant. Mais comme je vous déjà parlé encore et encore de Julien Doré (sur qui je fais une légère fixation, je l'avoue), je vous propose ce matin un très beau clip de Patrick Watson , The Storm , qui pour un réveil en douceur après une nuit d'orage est idéal... Patrick Watson - The Storm
E intotdeauna greu sa alegi trupele pe care sa le vezi la un asemenea festival. Spre exemplu am pierdut-o pe Roisin pentur ca se suprapunea cu Radiohead. Am pierdut Neko Case pentru ca era in acelasi timp cu Kings of Leon...pe Band Of Horses pentr The Hives. Pe Anouk am abandonat-o pentru un frikadel, iar pe Jay-Z a fost in acelasi timp cu un pui la rotisor cu sos de mere . Voi nu ati fi ales la fel? Tim Vanhamel vs Panic At The Disco - un singur castigator - Tim Vanhamel, astept de multa [...]

ALBUM: Liam Finn - I'll Be Lightning words: Cal Stannard can originally be found on 2stepsforward4stepsback Without fail, every review of this album talks about Finn's father who was apparently the singer in Crowded House. Well, I have never heard anything by Crowded House, so the following article will have no comparisons between Liam and his father whatsoever. Because when I put this album on, I hear a brilliant songwriter introducing himself to the musical world with undeniable flare in the form of a spectacular debut. [...]

Because when I put this album on, I hear a brilliant songwriter introducing himself to the musical world with undeniable flare in the form of a spectacular debut. What makes the music so exciting to listen to is the fact that this boy genius did literally all of it on his own. He played all the instruments, wrote, [...]
Every few months I fall into this obsession with Elliott Smith, it lasts for about two weeks, and ends when it all just makes me too sad. I play him constantly, all the time, repeated for two weeks. It ends, and then starts up again when I least expect it. To honour my obsession with [...]

Montreal bands have proved once again that when it comes to producing great music you needn't leave the island. Arcade Fire and Patrick Watson lead the way with nominations in the dubiously titled ' Alternative Album of the Year' category Chromeo bust it out with their gay for miles funk, and er...other notable Quebec originators [...]

Du vague à l'âme pour ce lundi soir, une ballade dans les méandres de ces esprits torturés... yeasayer -2080- the animal collective -derek- patrick watson -storm- yeasayer -wait for the summer-
We'll keep this brief because you've probably tired of the ever growing year end list. We're getting fatigued as well just trying to keep up and trying to sort stuff out as well. Seems every time we come across another list there is always something there to remind us of what we loved in 2007. We narrowed our fav songs down to 20! Yes 20! From an initial list of about 100 and still we're not quite happy with it. Wish we had more time, but time is something we just don't have. [...]
