Most delicious voice.

I've been stuck listening to Sarah Slean, The Baroness, on repeat for the past couple months and I've been secretly looking for something new... quasi fresh, but with the same soulful and deep sound as the great Ms. Slean offers.

I have found Amy Seeley. Enjoy.

Subwoofer = Love

Orest had an extra tv receiver and graciously set it up in my apartment today. (Let's take a second to remember that my apartment is the size of a regular person's closet and I have 16 neighbours within earshot.) It took a solid 2 hours to assemble but this 5-speaker-surround-sound-mega-subwoofer-5-disc receiver looks fantastic in its cosy little enclave in the tv stand.

It's been forever since I've listened to a cd. I have an iPod - what could I possibly need cds for anymore? Well. Thank God I didn't do anything rash like throw out my hundreds upon hundreds of cds I've collected over the years. Tonite I pulled out 2 boxes of cds which I've had collecting dust in my closet and cracked it open. The sweet music I have found tonite has made me a little weak at the knees.

Back in the day I wrote for a little website called Fresh Tracks Music. In fact, I interviewed The Fray back when they hadn't yet made the big scene. Anyways, I have come across all these cds was sent, gifted (by my good friend Aaron), purchased and collected. I have been going through these boxes disc by disc tonite and man have I found some goodies: The Low Life, The Decemberists, Louis XIV, The Shins, and other cds (which I am sure some of you would laugh at me owning).

I fear for my neighbours now who have to live while I relive my music.

Thursday is country music day.

Tonite I will be seeing Toby Keith in concert at the ol' Dome. If you had asked me a year ago if I was interested in seeing Mr. Toby Keith I probably would have snickered a little bit and passed on it. However, I have found myself more and more into the sweet sounds of twang.

I know this isn't Toby but hey - it's a great song.

1.10.08

RIP LeRoi Moore

The music world lost a fantastic saxophonist today.

LeRoi Moore, saxophonist from the Dave Matthews Band died today of complications from his ATV accident.

If you're familiar with the sounds of DMB, you'll know how much of a loss this is to his band.

A little country on the beach.

Fun fact: My fave country song, Blame it on the Red Dress by George Bamford has a music video. Of course, they all do. But what's special about this music video? It was filmed on Chesterman Beach IN TOFINO BC. Gosh I need to get out there...
