Could this band be harder to google? Check out Girls new album. Yup, it’s called album. Whatever. They sound pretty good after the first couple listens. Coming to the El Macombo for the only Canadian stop on their tour on November 10, 2009.

Yay or Gay?

the drums

To me, The Drums self-released song “I felt Stupid” sounds a little along the lines of Pains of Being Pure at Heart…I haven’t been able to fully appreciate Pains, but getting past the Drums corny lyrics (rhyming “silly” with “family”?) and song title choice leaves us with a catchy tune. Yay or gay? You decide.

poke me with your antler

JY

The Antlers are playing in toronto tomorrow (thursday).  their music is wonderful.  Their new album hospice is a narrative about a couple and one of them dieing in the hospital with bone cancer.  not sure how i fell about hypotheitical conceptual albums, the decemerist do it, but it works.

i really couldn’t decide which songs to put in this post.  I’m not going to put them all on, so go listen to the rest in someone else’s yard.

i think i have lost my portable music player.

JY

i don’t know where it is.  i have looked all the places i thought it might be.  it hasn’t been updated for over a year…  but it has every musical tune i have, not to mention many other digital files.  I will be forced to record songs off the radio again onto my cassette player.

apollo and the buffalo and anna anna anna oh
