It would be criminal to begin actively pimping Canadian artists without tipping our collective hat to the old men of Canadian rocks rock, Blue Rodeo . Luckily for all involved parties, the Toronto-based quintet is still hard at it; on the road pushing their brand-spankin' new 11th studio release, The Things We Left Behind . A little Blue Rodeo primer for the uninitiated: In 1984, following an unsuccessful foray into the NYC punk scene, buddies Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor return to their native Toronto with a vague plan of getting back to the [...]
This list could go hundreds, thousands deep and it would still only touch the surface, so you know how much a struggle it was for me to cut it down to just 50. Ranking art is always a bit of a silly process, and it's even more here, when every single song is brilliant. So don't take the order too seriously. The real point of this is to give people a chance to hear the things that I simply couldn't live without, the songs that make my whole world go around – and to hopefully [...]
Maybe it's something about a Scandinavian accent singing Americana, but this really does remind me of A Camp, Nina Persson from the Cardigans' solo project. The similarity is pretty superficial, so don't think I am comparing the two, exactly, one just reminds me everso slightly of the other for some reason. There are also fairly strong similarities to Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins and elements of Neko Case, and that is definitely a happy comparison to be able to make. But where Lewis in particular favoured the plump and the lush in her arrangements, this seems to [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , Grammy Awards Neko Case 's 'Middle Cyclone' debuted at number three on the charts last year and topped several year-end critics best-of lists. The indie darling clearly belonged at this year's Grammy Awards , where she was nominated twice, bringing her first invitation to party with the likes of Jay-Z , Beyonce , Taylor Swift , Green Day and more of music's biggest superstars. So, what did she think of the show? "Well, I'm [...]
Yesterday Carl posted a Tindersticks video. Also yesterday, Steve Earle won a Grammy for his album of Townes Van Zandt songs, simply titled Townes . My condolences go out to Neko Case whose Middle Cyclone album lost to Earle. Staying apropos, here's Tindersticks covering a compelling version of a Townes Van Zandt song. Tindersticks - Kathleen Townes died 13 years ago last month. On a more positive note, his birthday is coming up in March. Related posts: [...]

Deer Tick extends Spring tour dates
After finishing a US run with Neko Case late last year, Deer Tick completed a three week European tour - upon their return to the US on Dec. 13 the band entered the studio to put the finishing touches on its as-yet-untitled third album, which will be released in the first half of this year. [...]
Daily Diversion - Robbie Fulks at the Hideout
Three rootin' tootin' reasons to head on over to the Hideout tonight... 1. It's Monday which, for the time being, means it's Robbie Fulks Monday. He owns that night at the Hideout and this week is no exception. If you've not heard but like good old fashioned country, country the way it used to be, full of dry wit and a big old f#@& you attitude then Robbie is your man. There's no winking here. Just honest to goodness countrified music through and through. [...]
It's The Watson Twins' Vinyl District!
Whether on their own or backing Ms. Jenny Lewis, Leigh and Chandra, The Watson Twins' warm harmonies have long been favorites of ours here at TVD and we're delighted to say that they've braved the elements to join us in the TVD offices all this week to blog away with us. And it's a big week for them indeed: The Watson Twins are taking over The Vinyl District for the week of 2.9.10 as our new record [...]

Ear on TV: Week of 02.08.10: Yeasayer
You have to give credit to Yeasayer for being brave. After releasing one of the more adventurous albums of 2007 with their world music-influenced debut, All Hour Cymbals , the Brooklyn band returns with a romantic and nearly electro-pop experience for their sophomore release, and you can already feel a backlash coming. They had previously positioned themselves between Animal Collective and Dirty Projectors in their sensibilities, but with Odd Blood , they sound closer to Depeche Mode (that is, if [...]
Deer Tick spices up Spring with more dates, Coachella appearance
Last year was an exciting one for Rhode Island's Deer Tick , who toured the U.S. alongside Neko Case in support of their summer sophomore release Born On Flag Day , only to release its follow-up, More Fuel For The Fire EP, that December. And for 2010, Deer Tick shows no sign of stopping, as the band prepares to embark on an epic U.S. tour this spring, which includes a stop at Coachella ! Rumor has it that Deer Tick will also be releasing their currently untitled third effort sometime in [...]

Bloggy Goodness: Zooey's With The Band
As the story goes, before landing the role of Anita Miller in Cameron Crowe's semi-autobiographical movie, Almost Famous, doe-eyed actress Zooey Deschanel had originally auditioned for the part of head Band-Aid Penny Lane. The She & Him lead singer will now get her own chance to play the part of rock star groupie as she will star and executive produce a new half-hour pilot for HBO based on Pamela Des Barres' infamous memoir I'm With The Band: Confessions of a Groupie .

Video: Jill Andrews – "Dreams" (Fleetwood Mac cover)
The last time I checked in on Jill Andrews, she was aiming to unseat Neko Case as alt-country's finest singer with the Everybodyfields . She's since gone solo and sounds no less heartbreaking - here's a taste of what she's up to now, a twangy take on Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" (which once made an excellent cover subject for Whiskeytown, you'll remember). Somebody send this to Taylor Swift.

Jakob Dylan likes his Women and Country
Remember in the late '90s when all you could hear on the radio was Duncan Sheik's "Barely Breathing" or The Wallflower's "One Headlight"? Jakob Dylan probably does, though if his recent work is any indication, he's trying desperately to move forward. On April 6th, Dylan releases Women and Country , his sophomore follow-up to his 2008 debut solo album, Seeing Things . Things are looking pretty for this second outing as Dylan paired himself up with Grammy and Golden Globe winning producer T Bone Burnett, who worked on The Wallflowers' 1996 critical and commercial smash, [...]

Shorts: Shelby Lynne, Jeff Beck, Patty Larkin, John Lennon, Tift Merritt, Zac Brown Band, Jakob Dylan/Neko Case
Shelby Lynne will follow up her superb 2007 Dusty Springfield tribute disc Just A Little Lovin' with a self-produced new project Tears, Lies, And Alibis due April 20 on her own newly founded independent label. "I've made records for 20 years and never been more excited," says Lynne. "I finally have the creative control I've needed to get my vision out there." The new project is said to have relatively stripped down sound and some old school elements from a studio band that includes members of the famed Muscle Shoals Swampers: David Hood and Spooner [...]
