Fix You Up

I am sooo lacking on the blog front lately. Too much to do for school! Over the past few weeks I haven't exactly had the time to scope out new tunage and rave about said new tunage. But this song has been stuck in my head for the past week. Nothing "underground" or "edgy" today, but is anyone else surprised by Pearl Jam's new sound? Thoughts please!

"Ayyy yeah yeah yeeeeah..."

Pearl Jam - The Fixer

Oh yeah, and I heard this on the edge last week, and surprisingly I like it? The only other Mastodon song I've taken the time to listen to is the one from the intro to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie (ha). It's different (for me), I like it.

Mastodon - Divinations

No Big Deal, Just Partying With the Band

Seeing Tokyo Police Club on Saturday, with my friend's cousin's band Ruby Coast. I don't have alot of time to talk, so let's cut to the chase! Gonna be a sweet show, I get to party with the bands, get super wasted, and amazingness will ensue. So check out Ruby Coast's EP, as seen down below. Do it now!

The Wilderness of Manitoba

This band really caught my attention because of their simplistic approach, resulting in beautiful music. The very first song they played featured a track of a birdsong in the background, followed by acoustic guitar (Bluebirds). Great music for when you just want to chill out, or you need help falling asleep. The band was also super cool, and told everyone to "pay what you can" for their debut EP. Also cool, they put the amount of EPs on the back i.e. they made 75, and I got #66 of this limited edition beauty. Coolie. Anyway, here it is, Hymns of Love and Spirits.

*Note: all other songs were removed on request from the artist, but please check out the following two tracks & visit their Myspace to hear more!

The Rural Alberta Advantage

*phew* longtime no see. But I went to a show at the Horseshoe on Queen this past Friday, & it was gooood. Three bands played, and The Rural Alberta Advantage were the headliners. I'm a newer fan of this band, but I lovelovelove them. Their CD is just great so DUH, I'm going to share it with you! The other two bands that played were Hooded Fang, and a new indie band by the name of The Wilderness of Manitoba (shall upload their CD too in a separate post). Hooded Fang was okay, but they sounded too much like every other indie band I've heard, & they didn't really do anything to grab my attention. Anyshoes, without further ado, I give you Hometowns by The RAA.

Okeedoke, the vids from Friday's show @ the Sound Academy are finally up on YouTube. You can check 'em out on my channel here. Happy watching!

Your English Is Good

So Tokyo Police Club are playing a show with Ruby Coast on August 15th in Newmarket, about 20 minutes away from me. These kids hail from Newmarket, and I'm sad to say that I only recently clued into this fact. Even still, that's flippin' awesome. What's even more awesome, is that because my friend's cousin plays in Ruby Coast, we get to attend the after party! Holla, living the rockstar life, right here. No I kid, I kid but it should be a rocking good time and you know I'll be snapping pics n taking vids, so stay tuned!

Jackson Square

In light of the fact that I'm going to see The Arkells on Friday for a second time this summer, I decided to put up their debut album, Jackson Square. Enjoy! & if you like it I better see you on Friday! :)
