I first saw this card and started thinking of all the other lyrics that would be appropriate for cards for the indie music lover in your life. Of course there are an infinite number of options and these were what came first. I hit a wall while browsing the more extensive discographies of bands like Wilco, Elliot Smith, and Ryan Adams. In some cases the lyrics are grossly out of context and may be found in a heartbreak kind of song. Sometimes that one sweet line has a way of standing out above the real meaning of the song. This [...]

Frank Yang It probably amounts to some sort of Can-rock heresy, but I think I actually like Bry Webb on his own more than I ever did with Constantines . I fully acknowledge why many hold the Cons up as one of the greatest Canadian rock acts of the past however many years/decades/centuries - I've seen them live , I know what they were capable of - but the fact is, his solo debut Provider has captivated me more than any of the [...]

Frank Yang Though his punk credentials are beyond reproach thans to his tenure in Propagandhi , John K. Samson has always cut a bit of a curious figure in front of The Weakerthans . While his bandmates are more than willing and able to play the part of rockers in turning out muscular guitar riffs and solos, Samson by comparison has always been a bit slight of stature, reedy of voice, sheepish of grin; the thoughtful and verbose folksinger who somehow ended up fronting a rock band. I don't know if the [...]

I'll admit that I'm not the biggest Great Lake Swimmers fan; however, I will say that their last album Lost Channels was their best yet. It gives me faith that their upcoming album New Wild Everywhere can continue the momentum that album generated. On April 3rd, GLS will release New Wild Everywhere . Recorded in an actual studio (a first for the band!), the new album is made up of 12 new tracks, exploring transcendence in the natural world to describe the universal themes of love, mortality and escape .

When was the last time we heard from Great Lake Swimmers ? I can't for the life of me remember for myself, and I'm not actually able to investigate the matter due to some technical complications with my internet connection (and it will be a wonder if this post ever sees the light of day at all), but it certainly feels as if it's been ages since the Toronto outfit has made any noise. If you're feeling this way too, then it might interest you to know that the band's got a new album waiting to drop [...]
