For ramblings on how I came to compile this list go here . And for commentary on previous selections: [ #50-46 ] [ #45-41 ] 40. Goodbye Doris - Fox Jaws (2007) Barrie's Fox Jaws are easily one of my favorite live bands, and I make a point of trying [...]
WHAT!?! The random question machine is back? Oh yes friend, HPX is over, but the random question machine is here to stay. It`s just too fun a feature to put away, and I could say the same thing about this episode with frenetic Torontonians Oh No Forest Fires . As you might be aware, we did an assload of these 5FS posts in an attempt to preview as many of the bands & shows for last month's HPX, but unfortunately we got this one [...]
Yeah, this is new. We want to build up our venue directory ( indieshows.net/venues ), but to be honest, it's boring just adding venue after venue. So, to make things a little more interesting, every Sunday (or almost every Sunday) we will add a venue to our venue directory and then blog about the venue here. The 40 Watt club is a well-known venue located in Athens, GA. Many famous Athens bands, such as, Pylon, R.E.M., Drivin N Cryin, Guadalcanal Diary, The Primates, [...]
We have three very original and adventurous artists on show for you today, but each one comes with that rare and rather wonderful ability to mesmerize and trap you with their unique creations. Welcome once again aboard the good ship Recommender - let's go floating... NIC DAWSON KELLY Following on from our coverage of the excellent Brighton band, The Agitator , we are pleased to be able to provide yet another artist who neatly slots into a similar foot-stomping, blues-based pot.

Like a Version is a segment on the Australian radio station Triple J. It was created by Mel Bampton as part of the Mel in the Morning program. Currently the segment pops up whenever artists are available and willing to do it, though mainly on the Breakfast show. It involves Australian, and more recently, international artists playing live, acoustic versions of some of their favourite songs. This segment's popularity has led to, so far, the release of four compilation CDs. Samples of the 4 Vol Set: Vol 1 Damien Rice - "When Doves Cry"* (Prince) [...]
I like to listen to the contrast podcast while I ride my bike. It really makes the time fly by, although it's a little hard to ride uphill when I'm laughing. Anyway, what with the theme being "bicycles" this week (which you can listen to here ), you'd think I would have had no trouble choosing a song to submit. Well, of course I did have trouble, mainly because I didn't pick a track from Bombay [...]
The SummerWorks festival is over for the year. Like last year, I only went to the music events , and ended up seeing 6 of the 9 shows, all at Theatre Centre. Here's what I saw (and thanks to Garry Tsaconas for all the photos): Two Quebec-based acts started off the festival, Karkwa and Miracle Fortress. I planned to miss the opening band because I had my heart set on seeing another band elsewhere at that time, but as it turned out, the show at Theatre Centre was running [...]
Taking the 2nd wander off the usual beaten F&M path [ first one here ] with a look not just any producer, but an über producer who was (sometimes partly) responsible for so much musical output. That man is Sherwood : No not that Blackburn Rovers midfielder, this is Adrian Sherwood who like Weatherall the other day you'll remember seeing his name quite a few times in the '90's. As well as remixing the likes of Coldcut, Depeche Mode, [...]
Eis que, enfim, chegamos à última mixtape. Como você já sabe, estamos comemorando meio ano de James Sessions . O porquê de eu me empolgar e fazer 1 mixtape/semana de Julho, talvez haja explicação aqui . O lance é que chegou ao fim, mas ouvi dizer que não para aí. Melhor dizendo, esse lance de Mixtape não para por aqui, pois tem outro colega aqui do blog que se empolgou e promete mixtapes agora em Agosto... Bom pra gente :) Pra oragnizar tudo, eis os links da primeira [...]
Boomkat Another brilliant selection of rarities and oddities culled from the forgotten annals of recorded music by Andy Votel and Dom Thomas - this time with assistance from an expanded cast of characters including fellow Twisted Nerve/Finders Keepers bod Doug Shipton (curator of the Battered Ornaments imprint) plus David Holmes, Cherrystones, Chris Geddes (of Belle & Sebastian), Pete Fowler and a good many more, all offering their own remorselessly obscure favourites from the distant past. If there is a theme to be discerned from this crate-digging odyssey (and there almost certainly isn't) [...]
Fox Jaws snap back with second full-length on Nevado Records Toronto - A brief and busy two years after the independent release of their debut full-length Goodbye Doris, Fox Jaws are back with a new album At Odds (or, Exercises in Separation While United in the Fall). The Barrie, Ontario-based five-piece will release the album on Nevado Records on August 18th. At Odds showcases DuMaurier-voiced chanteuse Carleigh Aikins as the broken heart to Dan Allen's introverted lyrics and swelling delayed guitar; Brandyn Aikins lays out the percussive map; guitarist and keyboardist Andrew Shropshire adds [...]
Label: Mad Dragon Records Release date: Out Now! Website: http://www.hootsandhellmouth.c om When I listen to a new record I generally need something to jump up and hit me. I need something that confirms that this is worth listening to, whether it's a catchy riff, some cool melodies or some great lyrics, I just need something. If I'm being honest this album didn't grab me as I'd have liked and it passed me by a little. However seeing that this my first offering for you good [...]

Eugene McGuinness Photograph by Barrie Thompson The third single from Eugene McGuinness 's self titled debut album on Domino is dropping. It's entitled 'Wendy Wonders' and it's a nostalgically catchy little number, that's a vaguely apologetic statement of unrequited love to poor besotted Wendy. The single will feature two exclusive B-sides, a superb cover of the Ramones ' track 'Judy Is A Punk', as well as an acoustic version of the Coral 's 'Jacqueline'. Here's the vid of sweetly geeky little Eugene (and the Lizards) [...]
Photo Credit: Alex Ramon The Virgin Festival MySpace page apparently let the cat out of the bag and let slip that the 2009 edition of the festival, entering its fourth year in Canada, will be taking place once again this summer. Tentatively scheduled for August 29 and 30, the big news was the information that it won't be done in Toronto as it has for its first three inceptions. Looks like Burls Creek , located midway between Barrie and Orillia will host the show. The announcement has since [...]

Usually the winter months result in a bit of a live show drought here in the city, but February is actually looking pretty jam packed as far as I can tell. I'm not sure how many of these I'm going to be able to attend, but the possibilities are certainly enough to make me drool. Wednesday February 4th is the first show that I'll be attending for sure, with my tickets sitting comfortably atop the shelf. Gary Louris and Mark Olson (pictured above) have finally settled their differences and will be [...]
Orange Juice reform Edwyn Collins' legendary 1980s band Orange Juice are reported to have reformed.
