Listen to Weight of the World by Patrick Watson, from his album that won the 2007 Polaris Music Prize. The other nominees were great as well, including The Arcade Fire, The Besnard Lakes, Chad VanGaalen, The Dears, Feist, and Joel Plaskett Emergency. He’s in good company. Enjoy the song!

Today you need to listen to The Humpty Dumpty Love Song by Travis. Travis is a sweet band, and hopefully you had heard of them before they were talked about on One Tree Hill, but even if you hadn’t, at least you have now. Or you should have. In any case, check out this song, [...]

Yesterday pretty much involved the best last-minute plans ever. There was a Stars show here in a church, and it had been sold out for quite a while, so I was resigned to not going. Then I talked to a girl at the bus stop in the morning, and she told me that a lot [...]

It’s called I Wanna Ride You by Medeski, Martin & Wood, and it’s totally making me groove. I’m lying down, but if I was standing up, I [...]

Listen to Rebel Yell by Billy Idol. It’s one of those classic songs that everyone knows, but doesn’t necessarily known what it’s called or who it’s by. It’s a good pick-me-up song.

Listen to If You Want Me by Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová. It’s from the soundtrack of the movie Once, and you can tell that in the end the director went with singers who could act instead of actors who could sing. It’s a cute movie, and a pretty song.

Listen to The Pelican by Menomena. It’s a sweet track, and the singer’s voice is pretty great, at least in my opinion.
