Following an 18-year hiatus, soul singer Bobby Womack returns to top this week's list of new releases with The Bravest Man In The Universe , which easily ranks among the legendary singer's best albums to date. Following the approach he took with the late Gil Scott-Heron’s excellent final record, producer and XL Recordings head Richard Russell, along with co-producer and Blur/Gorillaz-leader Damon Albarn, adds moody electronics and trip-hop beats to create, what our Music Director, Don Yates, calls "masterful set of electro-soul" whose "spacious, modern production makes a surprisingly effective showcase for Womack’s grainy, deeply soulful vocals [...]

Listen to "Speed The Collapse" here . It's been one of those years, one where so many notable indie groups are releasing albums, it just becomes mind boggling. So while we are very focused on Metric's [...]

Since I'm still in too much of a food coma to finish off the post I had started earlier today I am instead sharing with you the musical equivalent of the huge serving of ice cream I just inhaled. These are the top picks from my recent covers acquisitions. So, eat up! I Love You Always [...]

Frank Yang There was a stretch a few years ago when it seemed like there was a domino effect with record stores in Toronto closing up shop - a moment of silence for Flash & Crash, Driftwood, CD Exchange, Urban Sound Exchange, Edward's Record World, CD Replay, Second Spin, Sam The Record Man, Music World and a special tear for Stinky's (aka Cactus) back in Oakville. This was alarming on so many levels; personally, because I spent more than a few weekends digging through their bins for stuff and if they went away, I'd have to find [...]
