by teepoo As the release of Morning Comes gets closer Cuff the Duke released some tracks from an EP called In Our Time . Here's Cold Blooded Old Times a cover of Smog. Cuff the Duke- Cold Blooded Old Times
Wilco played in LA this week and I missed it. Here's the worst part...I didn't even know they were playing. There was a time where I went to see 3-4 concerts a week. Now if I see that many a year...it was a good year. Part of having kids and working all the time, you give up certain things. Concerts seemed to be one of the first things to go. But now my kids are getting old enough that
Rootsy Canadian folksters covering a tune by a rocking lo-fi Marylander? Sure, why not. It's one in a line of covers being released by Cuff The Duke over the next few weeks, eventually coming together to create the In Our Time , one of two EPs acting as counterparts to the two companion LPs the band has planned (the first of which was last year's exceptional Morning Comes ). The first to make its way to the surface is the band's take on Smog 's "Cold Blooded Old Times." And while divining what motivates a [...]
Even quicker this morning: You know those Paper Bag Sessions videos that have been cropping up here and on other blogs? The ones that capture Paper Bag Records ' inimitable roster of artists delivering some pretty intimate performances for the camera (as shot by Southern Souls Mitch Fillion)? Well, the label has kindly gone one step further, by distilling a few of those performances into an audio-only format, and compiling them into The Paper Bag Sessions Volume 1 . Cuts by Austra , Cuff The Duke , Elliott BROOD , PS I [...]

Toronto roots-rock mainstays Cuff The Duke are getting set for the US release of their latest album Morning Comes on February 28th (it's been out in Canada for several months). Not really related, but a treat anyway, is the band's cover of The Arcade Fire 's "The Suburbs". Listen to it here: Cuff The Duke 'The Suburbs' (Arcade Fire cover) by Paper Bag Records
We'll go with the group on this one. Cuff The Duke 'The Suburbs' (Arcade Fire cover) by Paper Bag Records
Toronto - Cuff The Duke has been around for a few years now, but one question still nags at the brain of many a fan (or me at least) - what exactly does it mean to "cuff the duke?" Legend has it that the band found a t-shirt in some Oshawa thrift store with that very phrase written on it, but the exact meaning remains mysterious. We'll probably never know. What we do know is that Cuff The Duke is a solid alt country band and that they just played two packed nights at the Horseshoe promoting their new [...]
Of all the tasks assigned to the music critic, evaluating a cover song may be the most difficult. The grade bestowed upon any re-make depends not just on the quality of the performance, but also on the grader's relationship to the original song, not to mention his relationship to that relationship (Do you love covers of songs you hate? Do you hate covers of songs you love?). As such, there is bound to be disagreement about a list like this. Some will wonder why I included no covers from the Nirvana or U2 tribute albums that were released this year; [...]

Margaret, are you grieving Over Goldengrove unleaving? Leaves, like the things of man, you With your fresh thoughts care for, can you? Ah! as the heart grows older It will come to such sights colder By and by, nor spare a sigh Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie; And yet you will weep know why. -Gerard Manley Hopkins, "Spring and Fall" 'Tis the season for [...]
