A quick peruse of the recently released Golden Plains Lucky Seven set times tells you one thing: you'll need to be full of beans until well into the wee hours, as some of the highlights come late late on Saturday night. Taking place at the Meredith Supernatural Ampitheatre in Victoria, this festival is beaut by virtue of the fact that it all happens on one stage. There are no hellish clashes and no excruciating sacrifices to make. Easy as pie! You can see CAT POWER [...]

Thanks To Camilo for this great artwork. Looking back at 2012, there were plenty of albums that I loved. Was it the best year of music in recent memory? Maybe not, but it was a damn good year in its own right. There is a lot that we may look back on and remember well into the rest of the decade. This year I listed my Top 40 albums, as well as a few honorable mentions that were as close to making my list as they come. I didn't get to listen [...]

By Seraphina Lotkhamnga It's been a great year of music. My ears have had such a good year that the task of selecting my top albums has never been harder. Perhaps it's because I've whittled down my usual list of 25 albums to 20 this year. Some artists on this list made their L.A. debuts this year and some of them have been in the neighborhood for years. Check out my top 20 albums of 2012, with my thoughts on the Top 10, and some honorable mentions after No. 1: [...]

Norman Wong/Jules Schill It's a real puzzle to me why Toronto's Snowblink aren't huge, and I mean huge in relative Canadian indie terms, not absolute household name terms, I'm not delusional. Their 2011 debut Long Live was an unqualified art-folk jewel , as simple and homespun as it was rich and complex, and not content to simply let the record speak for itself, they also toured it across North America and Europe, supporting not only some A-list Canadian talent but Wilco's Jeff Tweedy on his Spring 2011 solo tour. [...]

It's our first mixtape of summer! Accordingly, you should probably just act first and think later and just download it with reckless abandon, as you should do absolutely everything now that it is the season of impulsive behavior. But if you are incapable of such youthful indiscretion without examining the fine print/weighing every possible life consequence, then a) we have a lot in common and b) this mixtape will still please. It opens with Cat Power, so already, pretty good. It also features bona fide summer jams like "Pyramids" by Frank Ocean and "Fineshrine" by Purity Ring, alongside recently released [...]
