Month: October 2008
I finally got a chance to listen to Sarah Hallman‘s self-titled album. I’ve attended to some of the shows where she has opened up and she just has an amazing voice when she sings live.
I hope Elizabeth Powell reads this glowing review I am making for their full length album. Land Of Talk is a band from lovely Montreal, Quebec. Right now they are touring with Broken Social Scene and I am unfortunately going to miss the show on Oct 30th in Ottawa. Officially on Oct 7th their first …
I just braved myself in going out of the first winter storm in Ottawa. To see Winchester Warm and Azeda Booth. Winchester Warm is the side project of Poorfolk (as I call it Poorfolk minus 2 just to be funny). This time I actually saw them play live, I did see them back in August …
Sigur Rós‘s Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust (aka With Buzzing In Our Ears We Are Play Endlessly) has been out since June 24th. Of course they are a “buzz” band. Ever since I first picked up they Untitled [aka ( ) or 2 sausages kissing as I call it], I’ve been so embraced by …

Finally my favorite Feist track on The Reminder album has a music video. Something about this song feels so good Surprised no one hasn’t seen this. You can tell that the video wasn’t a “1 take” video.
Usually I check on Wikipedia and find out which artist is doing what or releasing their next single. Robyn if you don’t remember had hits in the 90s one being “Show Me Love” This year her self-titled album Robyn was finally released in North America. Already been out in Europe. The album has the big …
I’m reviewing Matthew Barber‘s album Ghost Notes. The album came out in spring of 2008. Wasn’t until I saw him live at Westfest in Ottawa, that I decided to buy the album. Being a newbie fan of his music, I haven’t heard any of his older stuff. While listening to this album, its more mature …
