Spring is upon us and we here at Winnie Cooper want to celebrate with some dope tunes presented at one of the hottest venues this city has to offer. So let me introduce the "Thursday Concert Series" at FiveSixty . It all starts March 15 with the CD release show for Vancouver's very own Glass Kites . This five-piece progressive rock band has been making the bitches and critics swoon with their hypnotic self-titled debut album. And if you're smart enough to show up, physical copies of the album will be available for only $5. [...]
Those Inside Out Radio dudes have another mix ready for the next edition of Midnight City with MK aka Marc Kinchen . Listen and download the mix, and check out MK's Vancouver debut this Saturday at the Waldorf along with Midnight City residents Zeeaa and AJK .
You don't have to be a fan of the 80's songstress Sade to enjoy this smooth new track from Toronto's Times Neue Roman . It's jazzy undertones and psychedelic rhyming will make you crave some B.C. bud. And coincidentally enough, this jam was recorded at a cabin deep within our province's outback. So take a minute and let your mind move in slow motion. posted by @clarkbs
Since it's release, Teen Dreams has become a staple to any indie listener's album diet. Two years since it's release, the songs still feel refreshing and powerful, but another release would certainly be welcome. Beach House's new track Myths picks up where they left off in a sonically familiar territory but the mood of the lyrics is excitingly different. Beach House's new LP "Bloom" will be out on May 15th via Sub Pop. @postedbyestaban belchere
Image: Eric Carroll Meg Myers was my birthday gift from the musical heavens. On the morning of February 15, the day I turned 23, I randomly stumbled upon "After You" on Tumblr, a track that Myers had released only the day before. It's raw and emotionally disturbing, but here lies the true beauty behind this exceptional new talent. Meg Myers - After You Myers is reminiscent of old-school Alanis Morissette, as her music is infused with a playful anger that is extremely endearing and nothing short [...]
Vancouver party rockers, Humans have a brand new exciting EP fresh ear harvest Today . http://itunes.apple.com/us/alb um/traps/id507957101 Next week, if you see someone busting moves awkwardly at the bus stop you'll know what's up. Winnie has had the privilege to preview the new EP and there are some serious chest bursting dance tracks mixed in with some surprisingly thoughtful journeys. You can see Humans at the Winnie Cooper SXSW Showcase in Austin March 17th, as well as Winnie's showcase in Los Angeles in March 8th at [...]
Look. Listen. As Elections Canada investigates allegations of widespread election fraud and subversion of democracy via 'robocalls' to voters that provided misinformation about where to vote (in some circles politely referred to as 'voter suppression'), imagine a robot with a human face. One with greying hair, and a smug, somewhat vacant expression alternating with a faintly bemused smile: a robot that knows something you don't. Picture this robot sitting on the edge of his bed as naked as a robot can be and, having carefully unscrewed his robot junk from his crotch, even more carefully sealing these balls [...]
Meet CRIM3S , formerly STORY OF ISSAC. (which was named by Ethan from CRYSTAL CASTLES <3) This wi†ch haus duo consisting of members, Sloww Ddeath (best name ever?) & Sadie Phelps, reminds me of Vancouver's very own MYTHS meets some other dark shit. I find their music refreshingly catchy and they make kewl videos. You can purchase their EP for 5$ on the bandcamp and follow their tumblr 2. Fave track: CRIM3S - Fade [...]

CAPYBARA / Neighbor Crimes / CMJ 2011 (Brooklyn, NY) from mark harrison on Vimeo . We're in the deadheat of Winter here in Raincouver, clinging to the last chunk of the frozen season for what seems like forever. Luckily, all it takes is a song to take you to a better place. Perhaps somewhere tropical? Capybara to the rescue! Kansas City's 5-piece wonder boys have dropped "Neighbor Crimes", a single off their new album "Dave Drusky," which is a sparkling, and almost humid feeling pop tune that may just make you feel [...]
Mark my words, Santigold is taking over. And I'm pretty sure that after watching this video flocks of young females are going to be hitting up their local H&M for some floral trousers. posted by @clarkbs

Our rainy little city has been spoiled for the last little while since alternative music's brightest rising star has been giving this city a lot of love. Grimes has taken over some serious air space with her latest album "Visions." You can't take two clicks anywhere online without seeing her face, and she's even been approached to model for Vogue. With all this going on, she's done several shows and DJ sets in Vancouver over a small handful of months The latest one being on February 18th at Fortune Sound Club. You can tell the hype was in [...]
Upon first glance, you might mistake newcomer Kid Ink for Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa aka the dude lucky enough to bang Amber Rose. After all, they're both pot smoking pinners with enough tattoo's to generate an illustrated adult novel. Even their music bares striking similarities to one another. They leave the gun violence and ghetto tales behind for a sound that is surprisingly PG. Okay, maybe more like 14A. But with that said, Kid Ink hails from Los Angeles and exudes that authentic West Coast flare which unfortunately has become more of a commodity [...]
Although ScHoolboy Q didn't make XXL's Freshman Class of 2012, actions speak louder than accolades and this video has continued success written all over it. Stay nasty ya'll. His reaction to being snubbed lols. posted by @clarkbs
