Just A Track: Joanna Newsom – 81 & Good Intentions Paving Company

Joanna Newsom was hard to handle at first.  She was this little elfish girl from Nevada City, California that played the harp and sung 16 minute folk songs about ancient mythology in a squeaky, storytelling voice. Their was so much hype around her that I kept coming back to try to figure it out....

If you follow this blog, you already know about my newfound love for Yeasayer.  Their new album is a complete 180 from their debut and I’m really enjoying the new direction. Sleigh Bells is another band I have come across lately that I find very entertaining.  I wrote about them in a Found Stuff...

Broken Social Scene News!

…And that’s not all!  They have also released tour dates.  Once again I have to say those depressing words, No Denver, but those of you on the coasts have dates in May.  I might try to pull off one of those shows, or try to get up to Toronto to see them in their...
