The Ottawa/Toronto band Videotape finally released their 2008 album “My Favorite Thing” on Bandcamp and iTunes. Which I listened to the album again and I think was great in 2008. If you don’t know who this band is (Since I put them on my list for 2008 or photographed them at shows). The members are …
The past two nights which I saw Basia Bulat. The opener is from Ottawa native Leif Vollebekk. What is interesting enough is that I met Leif around 2002 or 2003 at a friend’s house party. Not knowing enough that he is a musician. But you know when you are at a house party, you just …
There is an album that kind of went unnoticed and “under my music radar” in 2008. Girl Talk’s album Feed The Animals. A friend was telling me about it during the late summer/early fall but I was kind of clueless about it. Or when I am at a venue they sometimes played the album. Have …
Listened to Smothered In Hugs album “The Healing Power of Injury”. The album will be officially drop on Feb 10, 2009.
Its been a slow first week of January 2009. Still having that holiday blues. So I am going to review this album by Said The Whale. It kind of fall off my radar when picking the best of 2008. I saw them play on October 17, 2008 at Zaphods. They are so amazing when they …

Another Ottawa band that I noticed this year and went to their CD Release show in September. The dictionary defines soiree as a party or reception held in the evening. Sorry to be cheesy with the definition. They are the Soiree (Soirée, needed to get that french E) and the members are: Matthew Arnold Mike …
I was stumbling through my e-mail. Killbeat music sent me a e-mail about this artist named Geoff Berner. He is a klezmer (whatever that is and lazy to look it up) artist. Heard the upcoming album Klezmer Mongrels which comes out on January 27, 2008. He plays the accordian and its a different style of …
Bad Flirt is a band that I just noticed this year. I first saw them in August where they played a show and I just happened to be there for their last two songs. Thank lovely friend for being late. And saw them again on December 3, 2008 Members of the band are Jasamine White-Gluz, …
