Sam Bisbee Will Never Fall In Love With Leona Naess [or so this free mp3 suggests]

By

Another successful commercial holiday is here, and all the ads are instructing us to buy flowers, chocolates, jewelry, and other pieces of shit because obviously we don't know how to express ourselves without spending our hard-earned dough. Am I cynical? Yes. But I'm also a helpless, swooning, irrational romantic who falls for it every time. So if you hate Valentine's Day, but continue to leave yourself emotionally unguarded, then you'll like this anti-love pop number from Sam Bisbee and le Grand Magistry (Pas/Cal, Stars).Sam spends a lot of his time writing songs for other people (he has a publishing deal with Nettwerk and composes/arranges songs for film, TV and other artists), but celebrates the release of his own, fourth album, Son of a Math Teacher, this week. The album features guest appearances from Naess, Lucie Wainwright Roche, Mike Viola, and Liz Tormez.

The Racoon Wedding :: Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth

By
Download The Paper Boy from The Racoon Wedding's album, Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth Sounds Like : they're gonna rip your ribcage out and find your heart RIYL : White Rabbits, Portugal. The Man, Fanfarlo, Rolling Stones ala Beggar's Banquet From the Press Release : Forming from the ashes of Vermicious Knid, and authoring songs in the basement of the all ages not-for-profit art space they own in a nook of the city’s forgotten downtown, frontman Tim Ford and company boast a sense of loyalty to their community that few other bands share. On their debut LP, Gather Gather Bones/Rattle Rattle Truth , issued this October via their own Ford Plant Recordings Co., the band enlisted the help of engineer Leon Taheny (of the Final Fantasy recording credit) and hammered out a record that teems with the spirit of long-forgotten roots music. It’s indebted to the history of mighty back porch music: unbridled, unedited, beautifully intense.

Whitey puts the "F-U" back in Funk. Download the track "West of Hope" to hear what I mean. What : Two free tickets to see indie post-funk sensation, Whitey, at The Railway Club in downtown Vancouver.

White Rabbits :: It's Frightening

By
Band :: White Rabbits Album :: It's Frightening Song :: They Done Wrong / We Done Wrong Sounds Like: The Midwest strikes back. RIYL: Spoon, The Walkmen, Tapes 'n Tapes A Few Words: White Rabbits (the band) is living in NYC, it's true. However, they are, by all accounts, from the Midwest. This is only a point worth mentioning because I am also from the Midwest, so we have a lot in common that way. Which is to say we have an inherent understanding of vast distances, wind, and non-existent public transport (unless you count Chicago). White Rabbits could also be that band you know you've heard of, but can't remember. For all their PR efforts it's amazing how easily they continue to slip under the proverbial radar (not sure if "radar" is an acronym when used in a cliche, but I'm guessing not). For example, they've been on NPR's "World Cafe" and on Letterman. Furthermore, they played Glastonbury in 2007 PLUS their new album, It'...
