Broken Social Scene Presents: Kevin Drew – Spirit If…

What a pleasant surprise this album ended up being.  Unlike the solo albums of other BSS members like Feist and Emily Haines, this one feels like a Broken Social Scene album.  I didn’t have too high of hopes for Spirit If…, but after a few listens I [...]

Alright! Everyone love lists, so I decided to stretch one throughout the week. I basically came up as an idea for the list after I lost count of how many times I was asked exactly what I was listening at the moment. So, I said screw it, this top 10 list was [...]

Oh, let the obsession begin. I was literally listening to The Deadly Syndrome’s album The Ortolan non-stop on their virb site where it is streaming. Luckily, the kind people over at The Orchard sent a copy of it my way so I could listen to it in my car, at work, on my [...]

I hate politics, but I like genuinely good people. Any more I couldn’t tell you if I was a democrat or a republican…well, probably not a republican I’d have to admit, but I’ve never been hardcore one or the other. Politics in general have just turned into a despicable mess of power, greed, [...]

For some reason I ended up staying up until 7am this morning.  It’s a bit surreal sitting on my porch with a few of the gang still up with me and seeing people start their morning run or the trash guys starting to work when we’ve yet to go to sleep for the night.  This [...]

“This song was the last song I listened to before I asked my wife to marry me. It was a cold, snowy day in March of 2005 and I was on my way to her house. Driving through winding roads with lots of snow and trees is all I can associate with the song now. [...]
