Placebo Space was a perfect place to spend the first heavy snowfall of winter. On Thursday three solo artists performed, sans snowy shoes, above an auto-body shop in what is quickly becoming one of my favourite Toronto spots. More habitable art piece than venue, Placebo is full of wooden (think still in tree trunk form) furniture, sleek couches, multitudes of floor pillows, and the paintings of Yunior Marino - an artist who's put a lot of love and hard work into Placebo. Projections sync up to the band's audio outputs by way of [...]

Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Genevieve Pierson Shelby Earl spent the better part of eight years promoting other people's music before she decided it was time to focus on her own. So the Seattle singer-songwriter took a leap. She quit her job as a record-label liaison at Amazon -- the latest in a series of music-related corporate gigs -- and waited tables while she worked on what became her [...]
Peter Gabriel , the former early Genesis singer and acclaimed '70s and onward solo artist, has orchestrated many of his well-known hits in the new CD-DVD " New Blood ". The collection features... "re-imagined arrangements of many of Peter's songs which dispense with the traditional weapons of the rock armoury – no guitar, or drum kits – the lyrics are exposed and laid bare, often taking new meaning with the passing of the years." I like that. I think songs that were written with original meaning at some point in an artist's career can take on new dimensions [...]

ALBUM REVIEW: Bat For Lashes - Two Suns words: Jamie Milton It's difficult to avoid the spaced-out, distant appearance of Natasha Kahn all over the music press at the moment. Talk of 'Two Suns' representing a whole plethora of emotions and symbols - it's getting slightly old and weary already. To the casual listener, you don't need to know about Kahn's alter-ego, the blond-haired lover Pearl, or even the idea that is said to dominate the record - that of 'Two Suns', two energies at once. In fact if [...]
