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!

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 :)

The Knife

I'm on a big Karin Dreijer Andersson kick lately .. (well.. the last 4 years)

The Knife released a Live DVD two years ago.. brilliant! I recommend buying any releases The Knife put out! The Live show was quite interesting; wish I could have been there! I just need to get to Sweden :)

Silent Shout - A Masterpiece!

Miss Li!

Miss Li is another great singer to come out of Sweden. What is in the water there??

I Heard Of A Girl

Robyn - With Every Heartbeat

I have posted this video before, but I was very fortunate to have someone send me the mp3 version of this song! Back in September Robyn took part in a concert to bring awareness to UNICEF's programs worldwide.
Robyn + Orchestra = Greatness!

Royksopp feat Robyn - The Girl and The Robot

I was NOT into this song at first and now I can't get enough. Remixes are out for this song at the end of May/beginning of June. Not sure if I can wait!

Susanne Sundfør

Wow wow wow. This Girls voice is Fierce!!

Susanne Sundfør has a great album that everyone should own! Her voice gives me shivers everytime!

Susanne is set to release a new album fall 2009!! This is definitely one of the most anticipated albums of 2009 for me!



Here is a cover of Bob Dylans Masters Of War.

Tori

Tori Amos - another singer I wish wish wish I had seen!! I was always Anti-Tori (for no good reason). Thanks Brett for making me see the light!

Here are a few goodies!



Precious Things





Blood Roses - I would do anything to see this song live!





A Sorta Fairytale - love when she comes in with the piano at the 1 min mark

Caught A Lite Sneeze Oh my gosh.. how great is this!

Oh Sia!

Here is Zero 7 preforming Somersault on Jimmy Kimmel in 2005. If you ever have a chance to see Sia Furler sing live - do it!! Seeing her live was amazing! So funny and such a great voice. I would have loved to go see Zero 7.
Tina Dico is helping out on vocals and the dancing!



Here is the video for Somersault. I wish it was better quality. It was always one of my favourites. I just love this band!

My Brightest Diamond

I am in LOVE with this band!! I'm not sure why I am only discovering them now. My Brightest Diamonds singer, Shara Worden sang on The Decemberists new album. Once I heard that voice I needed to find more! My Brightest Diamond has two albums and a remix album.

I can't get enough of Jenny Wilson! Her two albums Love and Youth and Hardships are the ONES!
