Young Galaxy - Come and See
In keeping with this mini-theme of people we know in bands. Stephen Kamp (drummer) is the brother of one of my good friends. We once got drunk at a bar in Guelph together. He actually was finishing his masters degree in Physics when he was asked to play for these guys… I’d say this is a better use of time.

This is one of my good friends from high school. I’m pretty excited to see he is doing well. Hopefully he gets really famous someday and I can upload the video of him dressed in drag, with pencils for nipples, lip syncing to Pavarotti.

Miriam has met Kurt! She slept with his cousin and hung out with him in weird bushbashes in backwater Pennsylvania! I can’t believe she never told me!
I’m not super crazy about the new album but this song is rad. Kurt is a sad lost man but at least the “Yeah” at the end of the verses here suggests he is at least defiant about that sadness.

Deer Tick - Baltimore Blues No 1
After watching the show The Wire, I thought Baltimores main claim to fame was g-packs of smack, but this catchy little ditty ain’t so bad either.

This is a more pro, smooth, jazzy tUnE-yArds and it’s all because of her blackberry commercial bucks. I dig the new song and am excitedly anticipating her album release and show at the Biltmore in April.

Foreboding? maybe. Interesting? yes.
The orchestral segments and the digital sound - together - have created a spectacle of an album.
I might be slow on the uptake once again - but I’m just discovering Hidden. And I like it.

You’re 30 Jonny… but 18 in our hearts!
Scruffy acoustic guitar, scrappy drums, and the soothing suggestion “don’t turn on yourself, cause you’ve got no reason to take the blame” make Dan happy.

At My Heels - Twin Shadow
This song reminds me of some sort of Romeo and Juliette type scenario. My favorite part however is the short and semi-epic guitar solo mid song.
