Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

This isn't that great of quality, and I wouldn't normally just post a random clip from a live show... but after listening to this album again today, which is likely my all-time favourite album by anyone, ever... it was just important I put it on here. Jeff Magnum is amazing.

Andrew Bird - Anonanimal

Good times.

Handsome Furs - Radio's Hot Sun

Since I've posted Sunset Rubdown, I figure I should post a song off Handsome Furs' album Plague Park. If that doesn't make sense already, here's why: The two voices that you hear on Wolf Parade are Spencer Krug and Dan Boeckner. They both rule. Each have their own gigs too. Spencer is or was in a whole handful of bands, but his main side project is Sunset Rubdown. Dan's side project is Handsome Furs. Handsome Furs is comprised of just Dan and his wife, Alexei; while Sunset Rubdown is a five piece band. 'Plague Park' is a fantastic album despite the low energy throughout.

Los Campesinos! - The Sea is a Good Place to Think About the Future

New track from the upcoming album....

Sunset Rubdown - You Go On Ahead

Myspace Links of the Week

Sometimes there's bands that just aren't to the stage in the game where I can find good Youtube videos to share with you. That actually explains some of the sub-standard videos I've posted, just because the song needs to be shared. Well, this time I'm going to post up Myspace links instead, and you can go ahead and check them out there.

My picks of the week:

The Wind Whistles from Coquitlam, BC

The O'Darling from Toronto, ON

Rose Melburg from Vancouver, BC

Alex Hwang from Grenada Hills, CA

Pink Mountaintops from Vancouver, BC

The Paper Cranes from Victoria, BC

Carpenter from Vancouver, BC

Minto from Vancouver, BC

You may notice a strong local bias.... that is not coincidence.

Why? - Vowels pt. 2

One of Why?'s more popular tunes performed on the room of some building..

Editors - Papillion

Just got my Saturday evening workout watching this video:



The Editors are a huge UK success, and have that dark quality similar to the Interpol track posted in August.

Muse - Uprising

Well, Muse hasn't put out an official video for their new single 'Uprising' yet, but I thought this fan made video was pretty cool. Cool because it's clips from V For Vendetta.

It's sure a catchy song, I've been listening to it a lot lately. Muse has a ton of great material already available, and their new album, "The Resistance", comes out next week!

Wax Mannequin - Something to Hide

Hailing from Hamilton ON, Chris Adeney of Wax Mannequin's voice rocks. So does his songs. He is a one man show in the folk-rock singer/songwriter category. He recently released his fifth full length album, Saxon. Personally, I love the album.

Check out his myspace page here for a couple other tracks as well.

Hey Ocean - Alleyways

This is a pretty cool video of a band that should have been in my blog already. Not only are they one of my favourite bands, they are local, too! Also, I think Ashleigh Ball is super cute.



They are playing at the Chan Centre on Sept 17th, and you can bet your ass I'll be there. Check out their myspace for more of their music.
