Did You Hear? :: Over the weekend, Miley Cyrus was showing off her gymnastic skills while attempting to do a front flip on her couch, and the possibly-engaged singer ended up cracking her tailbone. Ouch! Even though her new movie is called LOL , we don't find this too funny. [ E! Online ] :: Is Britney Spears an addict?! Sure it — she's addicted to short sleeve turtlenecks, apparently.

A few weeks ago I posted a selection of my favourite songs of 2011 . A selection of 15 or so powered by the beauty of You Tube. Since then I have read some excellent lists that went a whole lot further. Up to 100 in fact. Like here , here , here , here and here . So I decided to create a list for myself. No real reason other then that I like to create lists. I see some list makers will limit each artist to only one song. Some go [...]
Live music picks for WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 1 through TUESDAY FEBRUARY 7, 2012. SATURDAY FEBRUARY 4 / BRY WEBB / MUSIC GALLERY / $12 / 19+ In 2010, one of Ontario's finest bands, the Constantines, decided to go on hiatus, leaving Toronto without the voice of the group's frontman, Bry Webb . Thankfully, Webb is back with a new record, Provider . The songwriter's newest material sees him exhibit the same kind of lyrical wit that marked his early career, though this most recent batch of songs is tempered [...]
Thanks in part to the H.O.R.D.E. Tour the mid to late '90s could easily be looked at as the golden age of jambands, with regional bands turning into national touring acts thanks to an open-minded and enthusiastic fan base that where eager to discover the next big thing. Among the crop of bands that sprang up during this boom was The Big Wu , who formed at St. Olaf College in 1992 and earned a fervent following around the Land of 10,000 Lakes. The Minnesota-based act , who hold the distinction of being the first band on at [...]
Neil Thomas Douglas As I understand it, yesterday was Robbie Burns Day and while I may have missed out on my annual tradition of posting something suitably Scottish to mark the day - a tradition I've marked exactly zero times in the past forever years - I'm going to make up for it a little bit by leading with some Scots-related content. Firstly, We Were Promised Jetpacks have finally scheduled a second North American tour in support of last year's In The Pit Of The Stomach [...]

Chairlift - Something By Russell Warfield While it's true to say that Charlift 's 2008 single 'Bruises' didn't become as embedded into the public consciousness as something like Feist's '1234' when it was used in an iPod advert a few years ago, it nevertheless drew plenty of positive attention from the exposure all the same. But in an almost Herculean effort to not capitalise on momentum, Charilift went into radio silence for four years , underwent a course of inter-band relationship drama, lost a member, and [...]

last.fm I've been meaning to write up Without Why , the debut album from Rose Elinor Dougall , for well over a year now but for whatever reason never actually got around to it. And while normally almost year and a half on from its release is too long to give a record props, the fact that Ms Dougall is back on the radar with a new stopgap release while she wraps up work on her second album is good enough reason for me to revisit it. If her [...]

The Californian music festival behemoth Coachella revealed their final line-up on Monday. Instead of taking place on just one weekend and risk the wrath of people shut out of tickets, the festival chose to take an unusual (while dubiously opportunistic) tack and have decided to repeat the festival line-up for two weekends in a row (13-15 April and 20-22 April). Headliners will be the Black Keys (Fridays the 13th and 20th; pictured above), Radiohead (Saturdays the 14th and 21st) and [...]

Coachella Daze | We Were Promised Jetpacks
Jan 29, 7:41pm
SoundLogik
SoundLogikOne of the biggest reasons why SL loves doing Coachella Daze posts is because they make us listen to artists that we usually don't make time to listen to. We Were Promised Jetpacks is one such band that I'm glad I have started listening to. Formed in 2003, the Scottish indie rock group took six years to release their well received first album " These Four Walls " in 2009. The group released their sophomore LP " In the Pit of the Stomach " about a season ago in Oct 2011. WWPJ is (imo) apart of a dying [...]

A little dark at times, but they have so much energy that packs a hard punch that will surely send your music senses off the charts.

The Best Albums of 2011

The World ForgotI fully understand that my best of the year list is usually published far after many of the hip new kids.

On top of that I've been able to listen through all of the albums I heard in 2011 for an extra month. In all reality this is the definitive list. Enjoy the music. 01 : Fleet [...]
