Daniel Boud To say that it has been an improbable year and a half since Fucked Up's second album The Chemistry Of Common Life won the 2009 Polaris Music Prize would be a bit of an understatement. Beyond the long odds of a hardcore record by a band whose name is deemed unprintable by many media outlets earning the title of "best Canadian album" of the 2008-09 season, you have the band's frontman - a big, bearded fellow with a penchant for stripping down to his shorts [...]
Norman Wong I never really liked Katie Stelmanis. I am not referring to the person - I don't know her but I'm sure she's lovely - but her musical project which, circa 2008 at least, was named simply for herself. In Spring of that year, I saw her twice in the span of a week and a bit and while I acknowledged that she was up to something interesting with her distinctive, operatic voice and skeletal synth-and-percussion backing, but it wasn't doing it for me and as such, I didn't pay much heed [...]
![[Listen/Download] Weeping Tile- Good Fortune](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3417740_lg.jpg)
by teepoo Here's another one by Metric soundalike Weeping Tile . I miss them. They broke up in 1998 and had a little reunion thing back in 2007. Apparently they will be getting back together for a June 10th performance at Lee's Palace so if you're in town go check it out! Weeping Tile- Good Fortune
Graham Kennedy Canadian music circa 2011 is doing pretty great; more plentiful, creative and respected at home and abroad than ever before. No doubt sometime in the not too distant future, someone will write a book about this 21st century musical renaissance that (mostly) put an end to having Bryan Adams and Celine Dion as our national ambassadors of song. But this golden age didn't just happen, and the crucial decade that laid the foundation for today was documented by local scribes Michael Barclay , Jason Schneider and Ian AD Jack [...]
by teepoo Close your eyes and listen to this track. Who do you think it sounds like? Weeping Tile- Cold Snap Now I bet you all said Metric, but what you maybe might not have known is that Weeping Tile existed long before Metric was even born back in the 90s. Fronted by Sarah Harmer, the band was also from Canada in a town of Kingston, Ontario. They've been broken up since 1988 but Sarah Harmer and some of the [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Live It Out , Canada Universal Music If there was an artist who embodies both the musical and philosophical approach of Guelph's Hillside Festival , singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer would fit the bill. Returning to the festival on the heels of the release of her new album, 'Oh Little Fire,' -- her first in five years -- Harmer received a homegrown heroine's welcome from the capacity crowd spilling across the grassy [...]
Weeping Tile: Au Sud A Moi [ purchase in English ] It's the law: on paper, at least, Canada practices Official Bilingualism, giving two languages - in this case, French and English - special legal status, and relegating all other languages except a few local aboriginal tongues to "other". The statutory preference leads to some interesting road sign laws, ensures service and education availability in both tongues, and remains at the heart of my Montreal-born father-in-law's lingering ability to speak fluent French after four decades on American soil.

mėnuo dar nesibaigė, bet jo pabaigoje ne koverius aptarinėsim, o važinėsim po visokius kaimus ir gyvenvietes giminių lankyt, dovanėlių dalyt. todėl dabar pats laikas apžvelgti dėmesio verčiausius gruodžio koveriukus :) pradėčiau, aišku, nuo bloge jau minėto pražioplinimo: cat power - stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again - mėgstamiausia daina iš bob dylano gyvenimo apžvalgos-filmo „i'm not there" garso takelio. pats soundtrackas rimtai pretenduotų į šių metų mano asmeninį trejetuką. kitas minėtas gerulis - jimmy eat world - last christmas . kai pagalvoji, kiek nedaug šis koveris skiriasi nuo originalo, kyla [...]
So what did you do this weekend? I spent Saturday afternoon basking/cooking in the sun and taking in the tunes on an island in the mouth of the St Lawrence River at the ninth annual Wolfe Island Musicfest . Set in the outfield of a baseball diamond in the tiny town of Marysville on the largest of the 1,000 Islands in Kingston, Ontario, it's a small festival that's grown larger in recent years as its reputation for hosting top independent Canadian talent in an exceedingly comfortable and casual setting has spread. This year there were more [...]
Weeping Tile, one of my all-time favourite bands, are reuniting for the Wolfe Island Music Fest . This as you might imagine, is quite exciting news. While they officially broke-up in or around 1998, the Weeping Tile crew still like to get together and play the odd show such as the Salvation Army Benefit. In this yearly tradition (see my write-up on the Weeping Tile set from 2004 - here ), a whole slew of bands get together for a good cause ( give generously! ) and a great deal of fun is had by all. For the [...]
From the first time I saw the video for "Cold Snap" on MuchMusic back in the mid-'90s I was hooked by Weeping Tile, although I only pickup up their three releases and really started paying attention to the band years later, after seeing Sarah Harmer live for the first time, I think. Those three Weeping Tile recordings cds now rank among my all-time favourites. I think Kingston is an all-round pretty swell place to live but during Christmas time it becomes the only place I want to be because it means that I will have the opportunity to see Weeping [...]
