It's July 27th and we have yet to have one solid beach day this year. I just looked at the forecast and it is calling for rain until at least next Tuesday...here's hoping for an August heatwave. In the meantime, feel free to hustle away the Seasonal Affective Disorder with some of these classics. Free mp3: LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk Is Playing At My House Free mp3: Thunderheist - Jerk It [...]
The brainchild of Doomtree’s Cecil Otter and Swiss Andy, the project skillfully mashes up Fugazi’s 13 Songs and Wu-Tang Clan’s Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) . I'm still trying to find the direct mp3 links for some of these songs but the below Soundcloud link should help you pass the time. Enjoy. Free mp3: Wugazi - Sleep Rules Everything Around Me

Just getting caught up on some sleep and work this morning. Here's what is on my stereo. Free mp3: The Lisps - Wear & Tear Free mp3: The Fearless Vampire Killers - Tell Me What You're Trying to Say Free mp3: Spanish Prisoners - Rich Blood Free mp3: Givers - Up Up [...]

It might not be the freshest of meats but it is what will be playing during this weekends road trip. Free mp3: Reptar - Stuck in my ID Free mp3: Radical Face - Welcome Home Free mp3: Jacuzzi Boys - Cool Vapors

I meant to post this yesterday (and maybe tomorrow as well) but here is another new track off the upcoming album from Jay Z and Kanye West, Watch The Throne. Enjoy. Free mp3: Kanye West & Jay Z - Otis (feat. Otis Redding)

Originally posted: June 12/2009 Continuing with the theme of obsessive adoration, today's treat is none other than Brian Jonestown Massacre. Named in tribute to the legendary Rolling Stones guitarist and his influence in introducing Eastern culture and music into the world of Western rock and roll, the Brian Jonestown Massacre formed in San Francisco, California in 1990. Some 40 different members passed through the group's ranks over the years, but throughout their focal point remained singer/guitarist Anton Newcombe, bassist Matt Hollywood, guitarist Dean Taylor, organist Mara Keagal, accordionist Dawn Thomas, [...]

I was introduced to Caroline Smith & The Good Night Sleeps by the kind people over at the Planetary Group earlier this week. Usually when I get these sorts of emails about 99.7% turn out to be crappy college kids rapping over indie songs. I wasn't getting much work done on this particular day so I decided to give this recommendation a fair chance. I was surprised...really, really surprised. By the second song into their soon-to-be-released album I was already emailing back to see about getting more information about the band. Caroline and her [...]

A mixed bag of hustle-and-flow goodness this week. Some new stuff from French dream-poppers M83, an older remix of a Neon Indian classic, a throwback to one of my favourite Latyrx tracks and something from Edmonton-based artists, The Joe and Gobble Gobble. Enjoy. Free mp3: M83 - Midnight City Free mp3: Neon Indian - Psychic Chasms (Brahms remix) Free mp3: Latyrx - Lady Don't Tek No [...]

I am thinking about trying out something new around here. As I was digging through some old posts the other day I started to feel sorry for all these old words and songs just sitting around with no one to appreciate them. So was born the Meatysauce Revival . I'll start at the bottom of my old posts, clean them up a bit, update any links and then republish them. Bingo Bango. Look for them now and then when I am too lazy to write anything new. Originally posted: July 12/2009 [...]

Looks like another mellow/grey/non-summery day in the mountains. Here's some old and new to help you through the sun comes out. Free mp3: Portugal. The Man - Sleep Forever Free mp3: Elliott Smith - Kings Crossing Free mp3: Biblio - K is for Kelson

Holy, lesson learned...never (and I mean NEVER) announce to the world that "This is going to be a good week". Last Monday I made this statement and let's just say that it turned out to be an incredibly awful week. From now on, I hope for positivity but only anticipate mediocrity. Here are some tunes I was listening to this past weekend while pondering how it all went wrong. Free mp3: Toro Y Moi - Saturday Love Free mp3: Bear [...]

As promised, here are the songs from the second mix cd that my sister left in my car on the weekend. Sucker. 1. The Redio Dept - The One 2. Deerhunter - He Would Have Laughed 3. Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse - Insane Lullaby 4. Four Tet - She Just Likes to Fight [...]

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. Any Joe Blow music blogger can throw together a playlist of decent songs (believe me, I have tried one too many times). Rarely am I high-fiving strangers or chest-bumping my ladyfriend when a new one pops up on the interweb...unless of course if it comes from a select few of my favourite music junkies. We have already seen a couple from I am Friends, You are Fuel and Music For Ants recently...stepping into the spotlight today is the newest release from Canadian superbloggers, Ca Va Cool . So good! Get it [...]

I don't get to see my Sister very often because we live on opposite sides of the country from eachother. She came to visit me this past weekend and forgot a couple of cd's in my car when she left. Even though Montreal is a lot better known for it's music scene than Jasper, we still seem to have very similar taste in tunes. Here is the first one I popped into the ole stereo and have been listening to for the past 3 days. Reminds me of summer. Stay tuned for the second cd... 1. [...]

I called it yesterday, this is going to be a big week. We are a mere 2 days into it and I am not disappointed yet. Let the good times roll...here is what is on my stereo this morning. Free mp3: Tom Vek - Aroused Free mp3: Noah & The Whale - Life is Life (Yuksek remix) Free [...]

A few good concert announcements came out today. Here is the latest: -------------------------- September 28, 2011 - Arctic Monkeys @ Orpheum Free mp3: Arctic Monkeys - Take It or Leave It -------------------------- October 4, 2011 - Girls @ The Biltmore Cabaret Free mp3: Girls - Lust For Life -------------------------- October [...]

I have a feeling this is going to big week. Lots of wheeling and dealing, a mini-roadtrip to the city, maybe a few handshakes here and there...either way I am going to need to start this week off on an upbeat note. Here's what is on my stereo this morning. Free mp3: Das Racist - Rainbow in the Dark Free mp3: Alexander - Truth (White Arrows remix) [...]

As you may or may not know, the space shuttle Atlantis blasted off Friday morning on the historic final flight of NASA’s 30-year shuttle program. I don't really follow space travel all that closely but I do like loud noises and bright things. Here are some of my favourite songs about space exploration and cosmic voyages. Free mp3: The Police - Walking on the Moon Free mp3: My Morning Jacket - Rocket Man [...]

Just picked up a few classic tracks this morning courtesy of Aquarium Drunkard . Maybe I am in need of a summer roadtrip...just maybe listening to these tracks will help me to forget there isn't a sniff of one looming in my near future. Free mp3: Ramsay Midwood - Spinning On This Rock Free mp3: Jim Ford - I'm Gonna Make Her Love Me [...]

Sorry if things are looking a little different around here lately. I have been experimenting with new layouts and ideas...hopefully something sticks soon though. This week on the Hustle we have a few beach-potential songs which should (at very least) get you through until the weekend. Free mp3: Bell - Meaninglessness Free mp3: Memory Tapes - Today is our Life [...]
