New Two Gallants

Well the new Two Gallants single is out and well it's slow...but good don't get me wrong I like it a lot I was just stating the fact that it is slow. And sad, really sad.

But it sill makes me feel like Clint Eastwood so I love it.

Two Gallants - Seems like Home to Me

Society In Song

I should be happily doing homework but I love you all more. Good Shoes is my new favourite band. Notice I spell favourite correctly, as would Good Shoes because they're from the United Kingdom.

The group is straight indie-pop but definitely in the more traditional sense of the term. Read 1980's male sitting in a pub. It may be hard to escape the Futureheads comparison, but they bring an honest reinvention of the style. I'm familiar with the structure, yet it's new to my ears.

Morden, a city in the UK is also the title of their newest single, being released in June on Brille Records.

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

Well readers, today is 2 days past exactly a year after we first started posting together. I've no cheesecake or presents at my doorstep, so I shall be awaiting things like such to be present after school. Does anyone even like gelatin anymore?

Sir Salvatore is a young band from San Fran (not too many bands from there) playing fine rock n' roll. In fact, one of the members (Dave) is Canadian! This means they fall under CANCON for fulfilling the MAPL requirements--therefore they will be played on CJAM 91.5 fm! Czeck them out.

Sir Salvatore - Projector
Sir Salvatore - Public Key

Turn on the Bright lights to see our Antics

Well it has been a few days since the new interpol songs have leaked online but I decided that "The Ghost is Dancing" and gardening were more important. But that is neither here nor there.

Interpol - "The Heimrich Manuever"

And Pioneer Live in Ottawa



So the Heimrich song sounds a lot like slow hands...a lot, but hey what ever works for yeah.

Berries and Cream

After a full week of making everyone around me suicidal by repeating the Berries and Cream song, I have decided to share it with the instructional video.





Now go forth young one and beat this internet fad to death.

Good Riddance


Full Story Here


Jack Valenti, the urbane Washington lobbyist who served as Hollywood's public face for nearly four decades and was best known for creating the film rating system, died this afternoon, according to Warren Cowan, his longtime friend and publicist for the MPAA. He was 85.


It's not often that I get excited when someone dies but I'm probably not going to shed a tear over this.

New White Stripes


Whats this, new White Stripes. Thats right...

I'm going to reserve judgment on this due to it being a radio rip.

The White Stripes - Icky Thump

Oh and to anger Pat Craven, photos from Fountains of Wayne show at Webster Hall available at stereogum.

Looks like thom

Only because the little guy looks like thom and thats the kind of asshole thing he would do.

Not Work Safe

This is why I love YouTube and Atlanta.

What a pathetic day to live through

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez and nothing really happened either that should make me this angered. I hate photoshop.

Apparat is a cool German workforce in the electronica department, definitely with a harder influence (bigger beats and little jingles) but also a glitch kind of person, using lots of sounds to add to his catalogue. Komponant was my favourite track (just behind "Silizium"--German for silicon) off of his last effort. The following is a new single leaked from his upcoming 2007 release.

Apparat - Arcadia

Colour of the Knight

I've been going to bed at record times all this week, and it seems like a trend I'm hearing throughout school. Everyone listen to "Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out" and I think you'll just get a headache/want to shake your head slowly and throw paper at people.

This is Junior Boys, remixing Stars' "Sleep Tonight."

Why am I the only one who looks after this place?

Windsorites: April 14th is the date of the annual Jammie awards, for CJAM 91.5fm. Head here to vote for "The Breakthrough" under best new show. The Mark Inside and The Locust Kings will be playing live, at about 9-10pm. After 10, the public is welcome.

The Mark Inside played the CJAM fest this September along with Magneta Lane, some crappy punk ripoff pos, and Bigg's Philosophies. My old teacher once told me of the last groups mysterious existence, and unfortunately school made me miss them live.
