Lyrics Born - When I Get My Check

Shiny new funk supreme. LB killin it with a 2na Fish guest spot!

Yukon Blonde - Love The Way You Are

Great sound. This is what polished sounds like.

Craig Mack - Jockin My Style

Didn't even realise this fella had departed. Proper hip hop legend.

Falz - This Is Nigeria

Kind of a 'cover' of that killer Gambino track. Probably made with a fraction of the budget. All things considered, pretty well done.

Sean Price - Apartheid

Dank n dirty. Warning: adult language inside.

Red Fang - Listen To The Sirens

Cover of a Gary Numan track from 1978. More accurately Tubeway Army. I choose grunge. There is never enough Red Fang.

Jazzanova - Rain Makes The River

It's Sunday. Time to chill out after last night's disco.

Cool video by Third Eye Deer.

Miami Nights 1984 - Ocean Drive

This song reminds me of driving through the downtown Toronto scene on a summer night with the windows down and the disco blaring. Great days those.

 

Jamila Woods - Holy

Post-work martini music.

Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart

Remember this one? The Max Graham remix was pretty huge about 20 years later.

Fever Ray - If I Had A Heart

This song is dark as hell.

Force Fields - Stop For Stephen

I haven't forgotten you Freddy Beach. This show was actually in Monkeytown. Plan B.

Beard Of Harmony - Right In Two

Clearly haven't had enough Tool covers on here lately. This is dope.

William Prince - Earthly Days

If this doesn't chill you out nothing will.

Gramatik - Dimestore Diamond

Every now and then you get a remix that puts a wicked twist on the original.

Chronixx - Skankin' Sweet

This is a radical departure from yesterday. It's Friday. Smoke if you got 'em.

The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes Again

Morrissey. 1986. Deal with it.

The Winstons - A Reason For Goodbye

Awwwww yisssssss. This is car chase music.

Arkells - People's Champ

So this is the catchiest track I've heard all year. How does this not have a zillion plays?

Kvelertak - Svartmesse

These guys always have killer guitar riffs. The mix sounds a little muddy to me... and I'm not as big on this track as some of their older stuff. Cool video.

Bob Moses - Back Down

Brand new acoustic effort from these fellas.

The Midnight - Sunset

The Michael Cassette Remix... disco supreme.

Lady - Get Ready

Great sound. Never heard them before.

Led Zeppelin - Trampled Under Foot

Might as well hear it from the real thing.

Greta Van Fleet - When The Curtain Falls

It's not necessarily a bad thing that they're basically a Zeppelin clone.

The Mars Volta - Goliath

Don't care if it's Tuesday.

Throwin' it back to the madmen.

Dave Grohl - Play

I mean sure, why not just play the whole damn thing yourself.

John Moreland - You Don't Care For Me Enough To Cry

Every now and then you gotta get a little weepy.

Meute - Rej

I mean how the hell did they even come up with the idea for this? Brilliant. The original was a frequent on my playlists and I've already listened to this cover a dozen times.

Blood Orange - Charcoal Baby

Smokey late night soul sliding.

Puff Daddy - Victory

Legendary.

Meg Myers - Numb

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

Frank Turner - We Shall Not Overcome

I haven't posted any Frank Turner before. For shame.

Alice In Chains - The One You Know

Well now. New AIC that actually kinda sounds a bit like old AIC. Not bad.

FKA Twigs - Good To Love

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

Riton & Kah-Lo - Ginger

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

Breakbot - Another You

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

Crash Test Dummies - God Shuffled His Feet

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

Wild Child - Crazy Bird

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

MGMT - When You Die

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

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.

Scary Pockets - Fix You

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

Cosmo's Midnight - Get To Know

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

Chaka Khan - Like Sugar

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

Iggy Pop - The Passenger

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

Childish Gambino - This Is America

Now I see what all the fuss was about.

Jungle - House In LA

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

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.

First Aid Kit - Hard Believer

I like the snow globe.

Roosevelt - Montreal

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

Kamasi Washington - Street Fighter Mas

Is this the future of jazz? Pure dope.

XTC - Dear God

Cynical and brilliant. The original and the best.

Hillsburn - Sun Ought To Shine

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

Church Of The Cosmic Skull - Evil In Your Eye

I didn't know these peeps before. I know them now. Love the video.

Scars On Broadway - Lives

Well it ain't SOAD, but it'll do for now.

Andrew Bird - Tenuousness

Yesterday was too hype. Let's mellow out with this one.

Mylo - Otto's Journey

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

Shad - The Fool Pt. 1

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

Neil Young - My My, Hey Hey

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

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.

Aidan Knight - What Light

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

Death From Above - Caught Up

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

Rex Orange County - Loving Is Easy

Great frickin' video. Animation by Chris Ullens.

The Chemical Brothers - Elektrobank

Still a badass track more than 20 years later.

Honeyfeet - Sinner

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

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.

Thick Paint - How Did It Happen?

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

Melody's Echo Chamber - Breathe In, Breathe Out

I don't know anything about these cats but they definitely dig mushrooms.

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.

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

Jon Hopkins - Everything Connected

I'm floating through time and space.

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.

Gangstagrass - Barnburning

I mean, it doesn't even make sense. But there it is.

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.

Big Nazo - Bionic Boohoo

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

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.

Lorenzo BITW & Nawtyboi Tattoo - Hello!

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

Ziggy Marley - Rebellion Rises

Brand spankin' new Ziggy.

Spirit Of The West - And If Venice Is Sinking

A '90s Canadian classic. It always leaves me laughing.

Flock Of Dimes - ...To Have No Answer

This is the only video of this track online. Weird.

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.

1000mods - Electric Carve

Not feelin' the band name. Diggin' the guitars.

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.

Rone - Parade

This is some pretty uplifting techno.

Humans - Bike Home

Muppet gangster electro beats.

Triumph - Lay It On The Line

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

Austin Kimble - Dear Freddie

I don't post enough jazz around here.

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

Stephen - Crossfire

Great track. I first saw it on this dope Wonderboy highlight.

Levin Minnemann Rudess - Back To The Machine

Turning up the prog dial to 11!

Julien Dyne - Hours

Let's keep that Saturday groove rolling.

Lily Allen - Lost My Mind

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

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Hunnybee

Is it Friday? I knew it was Friday. It had to be Friday.

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...

Brockhampton - Swamp

Might as well jump on the bandwagon.

Foo Fighters - The Sky Is A Neighborhood

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

The Heavy Minds - Rivers

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

Exeter - Scan/Lock

Caution: psychedelic beats inside.

Format:B - Chunky

Proper solid Saturday night beats. Complete with cowbell.

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.
