Vince Vaccaro

Sunday, February 21st, 2010


One of my current favourite Canadian artists and musicians to watch out for this year is Vince Vaccaro.

Born in Montreal but based out of Victoria, BC, Vaccaro creates a folk-y and effortless rock sound. I first heard him on The Peak 100.5 a few months ago and has been loving his music ever since. His [...]

Think an all instrumental won't move ya? Think again.

Sunday, February 21st, 2010


I will definitely admit that it is hard as hell to pull of instrumental anything in most any area of music except classical.  That does NOT mean that their aren’t any in any other genre, I know there are, but in Rock, you gotta be GOOD!  Like REAL DAMN GOOD.  Doing all of your own [...]

Shout Out Louds Release New Record, Get Remixed By Passion Pit

Friday, February 19th, 2010


Shout Out Louds were one of those bands that really caught my attention a few summers ago when everything Swedish was amazing. My friend Tracey was living in Stockholm, and had the inside scoop on what was happening there. She sent me a link to the video for Impossible (still one of my [...]

Video: Vampire Weekend, "Giving Up The Gun"

Friday, February 19th, 2010


Not much to be said about this video.  Only that it looks great, and features like the likes of RZA, Lil Jon, Jake Gyllenhaal and Joe Jonas.  Ridiculous as it may be, I think the really pull it off.

Pitchfork Premiers New Flying Lotus Track

Friday, February 19th, 2010


Los Angeles, the latest record by glitch-hop master Flying Lotus, is one of my favourite headphone records of the last year.  His sound falls somewhere between Boards of Canada, DJ Shadow and fellow Warp Records artist, Bibio; a combination of trippy beats, huge electronics and head-nodding bass.  Flying Lotus is gearing up to release his [...]

The power of the remix

Friday, February 19th, 2010


I can’t stand music where the artists do a combination of casual speaking/singing/rapping – it sounds sloppy, boring, and obnoxious (case in point: Uffie…oh, how I despise her). However, I discovered this remix of her latest tune, “MCs Can Kiss”, and even though she still sounds messy as hell, the awesome saxophone loops and the [...]

The Bourdain Effect

Friday, February 19th, 2010


In September, I moved back to BC after living in Mexico for two years. I lived in a tourist town and anyone’s who’s done that knows, the only music scene going on is one hundred and one versions of Hotel California, Brown Eyed Girl and Satisfaction. There is little to no original talent. That’s not [...]
