Photograph by Max Weiland Concluding our list of the best albums of the year , today we bring you our top ten. Though the airwaves are currently plagued by some kid from Stratford, Ontario with a terrible haircut, these are ten albums that will have a lifespan far beyond 2010.

The world needs Japandroids right now. These two young men from Vancouver take all of the fear and joy of twenty-something life, everything we stare down as we move from youth to real adulthood, take it and grapple with it, think about it, right about it, and express it through the one language we all speak, [...]

On with the show. To be fair, I would bet there are records that should have been in the Top 30 that slipped outside so I could give some shine to bands I love that are making big strides, but from twenty to number one, we have heavy hitters and top shelf efforts. So sit back and enjoy. 11:: Pat Jordache - Future Songs This one is for me. I love this record, walked around Toronto in [...]

Norman Wong As of right now, I'm perfectly happy to see the 2010 concert season - as wonderful as it's been - winding down, but talk to me in a few weeks when resting up begins to turn into getting bored, and I may be getting itchy for something to do or see. Which is where The Drake Hotel has come in handy since 2006, running a week of (mostly) live music programming in The Underground for the next-to-nothing cover charge of $5. This year's lineup was just unveiled and as always, [...]
![[Listen/Download] PS I Love You- Starfield](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3018914_lg.jpg)
by teepoo Paperbag Records PS I Love You is heading out once again this Holiday. You can check out the tour dates here here . The title track Starfield was given away for free on their site until December 2nd and I decided to post it after in case you guys didn't catch it. It was to celebrate the selling out of their Starfield 73 that had been only available at shows. PS I Love you is probably up there in [...]

Photography by ME ! Well oh well oh well... here we are, once again. at the "end" of another exciting and fun and musically awesome year! What? You don't think this was a "good year for music"? You know what we always say about that right? If you ain't finding music your digging, you ain't digging deep enough. With the sheer (shear?) wealth of albums out there, from the label releases to the self-released albums on the bandcamps and blogs [...]
It was bound to happen: the first snowfall of the winter hit this past week, knocking me off my feet and and sending my entire schedule into a tumult. That it coincided with an ever-increasing amount of school papers was no surprise, not to mention the impending exams, a new job and even newer internship, and my starting to think ahead to December year-end lists. So bear with me if, over the course of this next little while, the posts are brief, since I'm working on them only really when the mood strikes. One thing that certainly cut through the fog of winter was that PS [...]

It was bound to happen: the first cold of the winter hit me this weekend, knocking me off my feet and plugging up my ears with congestion. That it coincided with the American Thanksgiving reprieve from PR emails was a small mercy, as I could take some time to sort through an already full inbox, and start thinking ahead for December's year-end posts. So bear with me if, over the course of this week, the posts are brief (like this one), since I'm working on them when the decongestants and suppressants kick in. One thing that certainly cut [...]
On the day after we walked Wolf Parade out to a soft patch of the backyard and buried her (this is what bands call an "indefinite hiatus"), PS I Love You's fuzz-heavy, guitar-charging, yelp-fest "Facelove" feels appropriate. As always with things of this nature, nothing will exactly replace her, even if the new iteration looks or sounds like the last one, but that doesn't mean PS I Love You are

Ontario natives Paul Saulnier and Benjamin Nelson began their career as PS I Love You by appearing on a split seven-inch with Diamond Rings. Now the duo has issued full-length debut Meet Me At The Muster Station (Paper Bag) that features a revamped version of its contribution to the split with Diamond Rings. "Facelove" is [...]

Ce duo rock arrive à mélanger tout en étant distinctifs deux éléments. Qui sont la crasse et la propreté... comment font ils ? électricités à fond, des sons mélodieux, des guitares caverneuses... à vous de juger. PS I Love You - 2012 PS I Love You - Facelove

Photography by Me! WHEE ! Happy US Thanksgiving Eve!!! Very excited! Tonight, all across America, people will be placing giblets under their pillows with hopes that the Great Gobbler will swoop down their chimneys, exchanging the less-than-pleasanet-though-ver y-high-in-iron innards for beer & Stove Top Stuffing brand stuffing! AND... if you've been an extra good boy or girl this year, the Great Gobbler will even insure your favourite team has an extra-special juiced-up syringe of steroids, to help them win "the big game". Here's [...]

Each month Skatterbrain features a monthly mix, and I absolutely love the covers. The cover for Blogophilia 23 is my feeble attempt at deriving inspiration from Skatterbrain. I try… It's hard to believe a whole month has passed by since the last Blogophilia post. This month's mix has songs featured on the Dadada by the Charming Youngsters, The Red River, Wildlife, Lykee Li, The Rest, and The Foreign Films. There are also new tracks from the Decemberists, Say Hi, The Heavy, The Tallest Man on Earth, [...]

Normally, this blog has a pretty rigid format, consisting of a brief blurb plus a link to a MP3. Today, I'm breaking from tradition, and for good reason: I've got an exclusive (let me repeat that: EXCLUSIVE) video from PS I Love You . It's the sixth and final part in the band's series of live videos called The Kingston Sessions . Previous instalments have be been posted in various places, including Herohill and Quick Before it Melts . This instalment is for the [...]
Now that the Fun Fun Fun Fest has come and gone, one could argue the 2010 festival season is official over. Upset? Depressed? Relieved? A combination of the three? Then thank goodness another edition of our Friday Mixtape is here to save your weekend fro sheer boredom. We got new singles from Kanye West, Ducktails, Tennis, and Acid House Kings, plus remixes featuring Gorillaz, Holy Fuck, and Mark Ronson. And as always, our partner site Cover Me provides a ton of fantastic new covers. So listen and enjoy! Given how fast 2010 has flow by, summer 2011 will [...]
