Day 5 ~ Basia Bulat - Gold Rush

Basia Bulat's sophomore album was released this week, Heart Of My Own. I missed Basia last time she was in Halifax, but am looking forward to see her someday!

Throwing some music out there...

My music life since April has been so unbelievable rich. I think I've only encountered two music ruts and they have been pretty short. I must thank all the fantastic music blogs, my blip and twitter people and hypem when I'm feeling a bit lazy! And of course it goes without saying - The Musicians!! Much love :)

Here are a list of songs that have been rocking my world - ENJOY!


Chauffeur - Soles on Fire

Even if you're not a fan of rap - how is this not the best thing you've ever heard?! This super group consists of Mark Ronson, Theophilus London, Sam Sparro. You can download this track here. My fingers are crossed that this wasn't a one-time thing. I need more, we all need more!



Florence + The Machine - Flakes (Mystery Jets Cover)

Oh I love a good cover. I'm lucky one of my favourites, Florence + The Machine, provides them! You can download here.




La Roux - Farewell To The Fairground (White Lies Cover)

Another great cover done at BBC Radio 1. Unfortunately it wasn't on the newest Radio 1's Live Lounges album. Luckily we can all get our hands on it here.




Elsiane - Ecclesia

Wow wow wow.. if you like chillout music, their 2007 album Hybrid is a MUST. It was hard picking out what song to post as they are all fantastic. I heard talk of them being back in the studio. Can't wait to hear what's next from this duo out of Montreal. Check out Elsiane on their Myspace and download Mend (To Fix, To Repair)(track #2 on Hybrid) here.




... I could spend the next 5 hours posting more, but life calls!

The Weekend That Kicked My Ass!

Once again.. I'm not the best at timely updates!

Went to Montreal this past weekend and caught three shows. Each one so amazing. Other than wishing they went on for weeks at a time, no complaints! I now plan on attending Pop Montreal annually!

Dragonette - Pick Up The Phone
Fantastic song! Make sure to do a hypem search on them to get the remixes - fantastic! Liar is my favourite as of right now!




Next we have the phenomenal Fever Ray. Here is the video for Seven. Another song with some good remixes. My personal fave is the CSS remix.


Fever Ray 'Seven'

Fever Ray | MySpace Music Videos

And last but certainly NOT least, Ruby Jean and the Thoughtful Bees. While there are no music videos, take a listen to Danse Danse Resolution. RBATTB debut album is fabulous. They also put on a live show like you wouldn't believe.





If I was rich I'd buy everyone tickets to all those shows... but I'm not :)
