Stumbled across this little gem the other day. This song's alittle more chill compared to our typical banger so ease back and relax. Bonus goodies attached. Metric - Help I'm Alive Bonus Goodies: Help I'm Alive (The Twelves Remix) Subscribe to the comments for this post? Share this on del.icio.us [...]

So today is a dark day for me. Today, Thursday August 25th 2011, is the first day I will be without my iPhone 4 for approximately 3-5 days. I sent my poor little smashed screen phone off this morning to be replaced on insurance and normally this wouldn't be an issue because the courier hands you a new one at the same time right? Wrong. Now, due to all the little life ruiners who call and fraudulantly claim new phones, they have to take them away to inspect first and then send a new one. Not exactly ideal [...]

Here is part 2 of from Day 8 of Ottawa Bluesfest 2011 . The acts I saw were: Miguel Imaginary Cities Metric My Morning Jacket Buddy Guy Here are the rest of the photos. [...]

I recently heard that your heart rate does the same beats per minute when listening to dubstep as it does when you are having an orgasm; so thats even more of a reason why this music is so incredibly epic. Rusko also told me that this music will get anybody to dance, even your 65 [...]

Here is this week's music singles chart. Its kind of a slow week. You should check out this week's #1 song. I am already loving Ellie Goulding's track since it is a great cover track and has this wintery holiday feeling sound. I think it should have been #1 in the UK Singles Chart. Check out the Top 10.

I've got a real mixed bag of old and new in this entry, sometimes I find my mood dictates the posts within this project and today I've really tried to go with my gut feeling rather than try and link songs that fit well together. If you've forgotten what the 1000 minutes project is all about, click HERE for the full list so far and an insight into why I'm doing it and how it came about. 106. Fleetwood Mac - You Make Loving Fun [3:32] [ time remaining 596:00 ] [...]

Click image to download full album Song: Metric - Help I'm Alive (80kidz Remix) Download audio file (Metric-Help-Im-Alive-80Kidz-R emix.mp3) What others say: Flashback to this past spring, Metric released their first LP in four years and the remixes overflowed. This new remix, released in support of the Metric’s new acoustic EP, "Plug In, Plug Out", also holds up well against the torrent of those preceding it. "Help I’m Alive" is probably one of my favorite [...]

Click image to download full album Song: The Strokes - Reptilia Download audio file (The-Strokes-Reptilia.mp3) What others say: The title "Reptilia" refers to the Reptilian Complex (or R-Complex), that is a part of the brain according to the theory of the brain model by the neuro scientist Paul D. MacLean. In particular the R-Complex is something like the "irrational" part of our brain, that we share with reptiles, and that is responsible for rage and [...]

Click image to download full album Song: Metric - Gold Guns Girls Download audio file (05-Gold-Guns-Girls.mp3) What Others Say: My biggest nit pick about the album, and Metric in general, actually, is that they never really take full advantage of Emily Haines' voice. As seen (or rather, heard) in her solo work, or with Broken Social Scene, she has an incredible voice, and you get hints of that in Metric, but it's never really fully [...]

Click image to download full album Song: Download audio file (dont-think-twice-its-all-righ t-bo.mp3) What Others Say: I’ll be honest. Over the years my relationship with Metric has been akin to the dorky kid in the chem lab constantly hating on the prom queen or star quarterback in all those 80’s movies. Somehow, the fact they are popular meant that supporting them would be like giving up who we are, and the false comfort that in 15 years no one would [...]

2009 is over already? It doesn't seem like long ago that I was writing my best of 2008 list and here I am again, doing the same for the final year of the noughties. Like I said last year, I find these lists a real conversation starter, or argument starter considering none of us ever agree. But I'm going to stress that this is my personal top ten and I must admit, it was a tough choice...but here goes. 10. LILY ALLEN - IT'S NOT ME, IT'S YOU [...]

Here is #21-#30 of my picks of the Canadian albums of 2009 . Get Guilty - A.C. Newman Its like listening to a New Pornographers album but with no Neko and others. Just simply Mr.Newman.

Christmas has come early for festival goers this year, as the announcement of Parklife 2009 has kicked off the summer festival season. It's hard to think of doing anything else than staying in by the heater at the moment as winter has just kicked in in Auckland but the incredibly of-the-moment lineup has me definately planning a trip across the ditch for this one. The first Parklife of 09 is Brisbane on the 26th of Sep and goes through to Adelaide on the 5th of October! The lineup is as follows and I've included a few treats from my favourite [...]
