Seeing as it's mid-February and I vowed to only post brostep on Feb. 14th, I thought I'd share this romantic little whatever that I made a few days early.

Halifax native Ango recently premiered his video for the infectious Jacques Greene produced ' True Blue ' off of his personal youtube channel youshouldknowANGO .

The video was shot at Lift a new space in Toronto co-run by the Pilgrim's and myself - the video features a dancing Ango and an angry girl. True Blue is one of ten free tracks Ango has released on [...]
So good. LuckyMe has a reputation for never disappointing though.
Halifax-based (somebody hook this guy up with Hemsworth) R&B man Ango hooks up here with fellow Canadian and b3sci fav producer Jacques Greene for "True Blue", taken from the singer's just released Serpentine record. On "True Blue", Ango's buttery smooth melodic stylings are leather-glove-fit Greene's rhythm & garage production style. Ango - True Blue (Prod. Jacques Greene) Ango ( Facebook ) Rating 8.2
So, other than the fact that Madonna has not produced anything in her past two albums of cultural or musical significance in order to bank of her tours, she has reached new levels of frugality. The supposed "Queen Of Pop" wants to rerelease her album True Blue for its anniversary. Not only does she want to do that with no publicity from her part or new material, but she also wants you to do it for her. What will she do? Scribble on a record for you. And this is one of the richest women on the planet. [...]

![[Listen/Download] – Austra – “Lose It” (Young Galaxy Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3452330_lg.jpg)
Tweet This post is a "QuickPick". QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that's sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it's so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I "star" it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it's still as good as it was a day before [...]
Sometimes, I worry that this blog is little more than a Paper Bag Records cheerleading site. Their artist roster reads as almost an exact list of my most-listened-to artists week and after week, and a good percentage of posts here on Soft Signal have been dedicated to the likes of Young Galaxy, Austra, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Winter Gloves, and more. But there's very good reason for it, Paper Bag really knows how to pick 'em. To celebrate both eight years as a label and the launch of their new website, Paper Bag called upon their artists to [...]

I can't say that I'm the biggest Madonna, in fact I can't say I'm a fan at all, but she has had a few decent tracks, like that one about religious virgins and the other one about the sun. Well apparently 25 years ago she released an album called "True Blue" and eight years ago Paperbag Records launched in Toronto, and NOW, they're not only commemorating their launch with a free tribute to "True Blue" from some of the artists on their roster, but they've launched a sexy new website too. The comp is available as [...]
To celebrate the launch of their new website, Toronto imprint Paper Bag Records are offering a free download of Madonna's seminal 1986 album, True Blue, covered by Paper Bag artists. Nine bands offer modern reinterpretations of Madge's work, each fresh enough to bring a new perspective but familiar enough that you can sing along. Young [...]
This summer, what's possibly Madonna 's most influential record " True Blue " will mark 25 years since it's epic release. As an anniversary celebration for both Madonna's True Blue and their own 8 year anniversary as a label, Paper Bag Records will be releasing a covers tribute album. Classics like La Isla Bonita,” “Live To Tell,” “Papa Don’t Preach,” or “Open Your Heart" have been covered and revamped by the likes of Born Ruffians, PS I Love You, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Laura Barrett and You Say Party. One of the label's most prized jewels, [...]
Alex Zhang Hungtai, aka Dirty Beaches channels his music through a cattle chute of nostalgia. Born in Taiwan, but never having a settle home, Hungtai moved around for most of his life due to a separated family. Five years ago, he moved to Montreal to pursue his solo efforts after being fired from a metal [...]
Easily one of the albums of 2011, buy it from Rough Trade
Dirty Beaches - True Blue To be transparent, I was only 80% sold on Dirty Beaches until last night. The dude won me over last night. He did minimalist back to back covers of The Stooges and a fantastic take on Johnny Cash’s “The Singer”. Even though I’m really curious to see what it would of been like with a full band I think some of the appeal was the minimalist set up. I should also note the Minks were so awesome as well as the Dum Dum Girls who opened their set up with [...]
Dirty Beaches - True Blue It’s a song through grainy sands: a sound of muffled clarity. You remember placing and clicking that tape into its deck, and who has forgotten such magic? None, I hope. When the song would play you’d hear everything. You heard sounds that weren’t ever present and you saw colours in mushy pixels, too, but you can’t do that anymore. But then there’s True Blue . The cloudless tune. The consoling jangle* of rhythm guitar passes play through to its leading sister, sensitive in her approach to the riff, [...]
It doesn't really matter what genre of music you try to lump Dirty Beaches in to. You can call them lo-fi, or garage or tape deck electronica or whatever, at the core of each and every track I at least have heard, there's a truly tropical feel. Not the sort of ukulele and coconut steel drums [...]
I am addicted to second hand shopping. Thrift stores. Its mostly about the chase. Finding Diamonds in the rough. Like a throwback Polo duffle Or a some True Blue Jordan 3's. Got all this at one spot in Downtown LA... All for under $40 Instant Vintage, Second Hand Ballin'... I call it Double Dribblin'.
After providing us with so many top notch remixes of other people's music, Andre Anjos of RAC has taken the reigns on an original musical project of his own. He's just released the soundtrack to the movie Holy Rollers , a new film starring Jesse Eisenberg (who you may remember from "Zombieland") and Jason Bartha (who you may remember from "The Hangover") dealing with the issues of blind faith told through the story of Hasidic drug mules in NYC in the 1990s. Definitely a very intriguing premise for a film if you ask me! [...]
