So incredibly stoked to catch Half Moon Run with Natalie in St. John's this Summer (2nd row)! Such a tremendously talented Canadian (Montreal-based) band. Their album, Dark Eyes , is a perfect album and (in my humble opinion) one of the greatest...

Johnny Marr – How Soon is Now?
Listening/watching one of the most underrated guitarists of all-time a lot lately...Johnny Marr (The Smiths). PS Check out him playing with the equally great and powerful Modest Mouse from a few years back...apologies for the poor audio but a...
Sam Fender: You’re Not The Only One
Like most middle-aged folks, my music listening preferences deviate from the bland, substanceless drivel the music industry is pushing their naive teenage audiences these days (this sentence is best read in Grampa Simpson voice). Like most things...
Morrissey: Once I Saw The River Clean
Admittedly, former the Smiths frontman Morrissey, is an acquired taste but I have been an ardent fan since his Southpaw Grammar album. His latest album ( I Am Not a Dog on a Chain ) has some great songs including the driving, trip down memory lane...

The Kills: La Musicale (Live)

LP (Laura Pergolizzi) is an American singer/songwriter. In 2001, she hit the music scene with her debut album titled Heart-Shaped Scar, followed it up with Suburban Sprawl & Alcohol in 2004 and then focused on writing songs for other...
Snow Patrol: Wildness
I first got into Snow Patrol in 2004, when a co-worker recommended I pick up their (superb) third studio album, Final Straw. Over the years, I recall hearing the odd Snow Patrol tune on the radio or backing a movie soundtrack (e.g. The Lightning...
