Meg Myers - Numb

I like this song. It reminds me of old '90s alt rock.

FKA Twigs - Good To Love

The girl's talented. Not sure what's going on the video though.

Saturday, August 4, 2018

Riton & Kah-Lo - Ginger

Not earth shattering but it's catchy. Decent warm-up tune.

Friday, August 3, 2018

Breakbot - Another You

Yes! That's what I'm talkin 'bout. Groovy summer funk beats.

Thursday, August 2, 2018

Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled His Feet

These guys were really good for a couple years there. This video is great.

Wednesday, August 1, 2018

Wild Child - Crazy Bird

This song isn't very wild or crazy. And the video is kinda random.

Tuesday, July 31, 2018

MGMT - When You Die

So I kinda missed this when it came out a few months back. It's groovy.

Monday, July 30, 2018

Brass Against - The Pot

Holy mackinaw this is good. Tried to find something funky and metal and I think this fits the bill. Haven't had a new Tool album in an eternity but if we have to settle for a cover, this is the one I want to listen to on repeat. Sophia Urista crushin' it on vocals.

Sunday, July 29, 2018

Scary Pockets - Fix You

Moar funk. Best Coldplay I've heard in a loooong time. Monica Martin on the vocals.

Saturday, July 28, 2018

Cosmo's Midnight - Get To Know

Had so much funk yesterday we gotta keep it going. This track is money.

Friday, July 27, 2018

Chaka Khan - Like Sugar

I had no idea she was still going. Funkin' fantastic.

Thursday, July 26, 2018

Iggy Pop - The Passenger

I don't know where this video came from but it's frickin' amazing.

Tuesday, July 24, 2018

Jungle - House In LA

One of my favorite new bands in recent years. So excited to hear the new album.

Monday, July 23, 2018

Ghost - Rats

I didn't really know these guys before but apparently they were a big deal? I guess I can see that. Anyway this reminds me of Queen.

Saturday, July 21, 2018

Roosevelt - Montreal

I haven't been to Montreal in ages. I need to get out more. First let's dance.

Thursday, July 19, 2018

XTC - Dear God

Cynical and brilliant. The original and the best.

Wednesday, July 18, 2018

Hillsburn - Sun Ought To Shine

Shout outs to J-Dubs for this one. This was a one-take live shot. Impressive.

Tuesday, July 17, 2018

Mylo - Otto's Journey

The genius who came and went. Myles, where you at? The music world needs you now!

Friday, July 13, 2018

Shad - The Fool Pt. 1

Welcome back. Where you was s'posed to be all along.

Thursday, July 12, 2018

Neil Young - My My, Hey Hey

Another timeless track from a Canadian monument. King of the 'burns.

Wednesday, July 11, 2018

Big Wreck - Blown Wide Open

One of the greatest performers I have ever had the pleasure of seeing live. It doesn't even make sense that these guys weren't massive stars south of the border. This song is one of my favorites from an absolutely legendary album.

Tuesday, July 10, 2018

Aidan Knight - What Light

I actually just forgot post this one a couple years ago.

Monday, July 9, 2018

Death From Above - Caught Up

So they scrapped the 1979 part. Oh well. Still pretty sharp for a two-piece.

Friday, July 6, 2018

Honeyfeet - Sinner

I think this qualifies as funk. I have a feeling it would be killer live.

Thursday, July 5, 2018

Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock

Classic Pumpkins. From the moment that intro started you knew that Siamese Dream was going to kick ass. And oh, how it did. Those were the days my friends.

Wednesday, July 4, 2018

Thick Paint - How Did It Happen?

This is Graham Ulicny from Reptar. That band is awesome. This is good too.

Tuesday, July 3, 2018

Monday, July 2, 2018

Coheed & Cambria - Unheavenly Creatures

New Coheed. It must be hard to make new albums when you've already out put out some of the most epic rock albums in recent memory. I wasn't a big fan of The Color Before The Sun but this sounds like a step back towards older stuff. That's a good thing.

Sunday, July 1, 2018

Stompin' Tom Connors - Live At The Horseshoe Tavern

It's Canada Day. It doesn't get any more Canadian than this.

1. Sudbury Saturday Night
2. Bud The Spud
3. Luke's Guitar
4. Roll On Saskatchewan
5. The Moon-Man Newfie
6. Old Atlantic Shore
7. Goodbye Rubberhead
8. The Hockey Song
9. Big Joe Mufferaw
10. Mule Skinner Blues
11. My Stompin' Grounds

Friday, June 29, 2018

Evergreen - Comme Si

I don't know how we got from yesterday to today. French Funk Friday.

The Watchmen - All Uncovered

One of the greatest Canadian rock bands.

Wednesday, June 27, 2018

Tuesday, June 26, 2018

Arctic Monkeys - Four Out Of Five

Never been huge into these guys but this album sounds... different. Good different. Definite David Bowie vibes from this track. Cool video too.

Monday, June 25, 2018

Big Nazo - Bionic Boohoo

What's not to love about a bunch of aliens rocking out on stage?

Sunday, June 24, 2018

Chvrches - The Mother We Share

Do these guys have any new stuff that's any good? Not really sure how I haven't posted this one before. The original is solid too but this is the best version.

Saturday, June 23, 2018

Lorenzo BITW & Nawtyboi Tattoo - Hello!

A little more mainstream than I usually post but what can I say, it's catchy.

Thursday, June 21, 2018

Bonnie Prince Billy - I See A Darkness

There's a few versions of this track out there. The brooding original is good, then there was this up-tempo version which is actual cool too, and then of course there's the Johnny Cash cover. Take your pick.

Tom Fun Orchestra - Bottom Of The River

We got a little toooo happy yesterday so let's sink back to the dark, dark depths. I love the animation in this video. Tom Fun was great.

Triumph - Lay It On The Line

Live in '87. I can't even imagine a show this epic coming to Halifax now.

Wednesday, June 13, 2018

Austin Kimble - Dear Freddie

I don't post enough jazz around here.

Well really... I don't post enough anything...

Sunday, June 10, 2018

Saturday, June 9, 2018

Lily Allen - Lost My Mind

Brand new from Lily. Decent Saturday afternoon warm-up track.

Friday, June 8, 2018

Thursday, June 7, 2018

Jane's Addiction - Been Caught Stealing

Throwback Thursday rarely gets cooler than this. This was easily one of the most memorable videos when it came around. Back when music videos were on TV...

Wednesday, June 6, 2018

Tuesday, June 5, 2018

Foo Fighters - The Sky Is A Neighborhood

I definitely prefer older Foos. This is a bit too anthemic for my taste.

Monday, June 4, 2018

The Heavy Minds - Rivers

More grunge than metal, but that's hardly room to complain.

Saturday, June 2, 2018

Format:B - Chunky

Proper solid Saturday night beats. Complete with cowbell.

Friday, June 1, 2018

Gorillaz - Humility

These cats have always been a bit of a mood swing for me - sometimes they're the bomb and others it's a giant 'meh'. This track is somewhere in between.

Thursday, May 31, 2018

The Doors - When The Music's Over

From the Isle of Wight festival that was released earlier this year as a DVD. It must have been mindblowing to see this in person.

Wednesday, May 30, 2018

Gary Jules - Mad World

One of the great cover songs that has possibly surpassed the original. This is a live take from 2013 along with Mylène Farmer, accompanied by Yvan Cassar on piano.

Tuesday, May 29, 2018

JonTron - Firework

Never thought I'd be posting a Katy Perry song on here but at least it's a cover. Some of the animation in this one is phenomenal.

Monday, May 28, 2018

Monster Magnet - Space Lord

Germany, August 2010. The song was a dozen years old at this point and Dave Wyndorf was pushing 50. These guys could still put on a decent show. Remember the original video? These guys were the cock of the walk for a few months back in the day.

Sunday, May 27, 2018

Friday, May 25, 2018

N.O.R.E. - Nothin'

Wish this wasn't censored... still one of the phattest party beats.

Thursday, May 24, 2018

Skydiggers - What Do You See?

So this is more than 20 years old. From the crummy quality of this video they probably took it straight from some old tape lying in a dusty box in a closet.

Wednesday, May 23, 2018

Yorks - Trial By Fire

Great track by these fine upstanding young men from Fredericton.

Tuesday, May 22, 2018

Janelle Monáe - Make Me Feel

I haven't listed to this young lady since her album was one of my favorites from... way back in 2010. This is unabashedly Prince. Interested to hear the rest of the album.

Travis Bowman - Dreams

Speaking of muppets, I wonder what fool decided the Hotel California video couldn't stay on YouTube? Thankfully you can still see it here. In the meantime I'll have to settle for this little ditty.

Saturday, May 19, 2018

Shamir - Call It Off

This is hella catchy and who doesn't like muppets.

Thursday, May 17, 2018

Tuesday, May 15, 2018

Adam Baldwin - Love On The Rocks

Yesterday was heavy. Today is light. Springsteen fan? Naaaah...

Monday, May 14, 2018

Butthole Surfers - Goofy's Concern

That album was underappreciated. Video is a live cut in Montreal circa 2009.

Sunday, May 13, 2018

Conkarah & Rosie Delmah - Hello

We need something super chill after that banger yesterday. This fits the bill. Is this one better than the original? Pretty solid reinvention.

Saturday, May 12, 2018

Tove Lo - Disco Tits

Not quite disco... but I think I can get away with it this time.

Warning: PG-13 content.

Mod Sun - Shoot 'Em Down

Not really my usual style but it's got some funky production goin' on and I have to admit it's catchy. That'll do, donkey, that'll do.
