Dirty Beaches is one of my favorite musicians at the moment.
I don’t think Alex will need my approval of positivity and Asian solidarity but I am going to give it to him anyways. 
Dirty Beaches has been on a wild ride since the critical acclaim and success from Badlands which came out in 2011.
Now he will do something ambitious which the double album “Drifters/Love Is The Devil” which drops on May 21st through Zoo Music.
Total of 16 tracks. Drifters with 8 tracks and Love Is The Devil with 8 tracks.
Drifters/Love Is The Devil is a reflection on the fragility of reality.

The fifth annual Ottawa Rock Lottery 2013 took place at Mavericks on May 18th.
In case you don’t know, here is a blurb on the event.
25 musicians from all different genres and bands.
5 bands determined by randomly pulling names out of a very stylish hat.
24 hrs to create a 20 – 30 minute set of all original music.
1 night only.
Proceeds went to local charity organization The Ottawa Food Bank.
This being in it’s fifth year.
I have to say it was the best Rock Lotto in Ottawa’s music scene.
The five bands were:
• But I Don’t Want To Be A Pirate
• Sextadeth
• Black Usher
• Slow Dance Chubbies
• Nicholas Cage in Con Air

Went to the fifth annual Chinatown Remixed which took place on Somerset in Ottawa.
With the weather, it couldn’t get any better.
This year there was a block party at the parking lot of Shanghai Restaurant.
For the photos, go here.
I managed to catch Rae Spoon‘s set.
At first I thought Rae was suppose to go on at around 8pm.
But the show started off at 7pm.
It was a nice set filled with indie acoustic rock and electro-pop.

A few days ago The Dodos dropped a new single called Confidence.
Today the band are signed to Dine Alone Records for the Canadian market.
You can say it is a departure but also a tribute to Chris Reimer who passed away last year.
It has that Woman influence with the guitar jangle sound.
Such a brilliant song to listen.
Have a listen to Confidence.
Confidence is taken from the upcoming album Carrier on August 27th through Polyvinyl and Dine Alone
