Building their sound on vocal expressions and drums, Mariam Wallentin and Andreas Werliin of Wildbirds & Peacedrums expand it to a level of free and raw blues. The tender intimacy, soaring ballads and certain jazz elements of their debut album Heartcore (2008) take the listener to new heights only to be grounded by the duo’s fiery passion, beautifully brutal and experimental crashes, powerful drumming and layers of sounds. The flowing dynamic ease, waves of strong emotions and intensity of Heartcore create beautiful and distinct soundscapes.

Lyrical and delightful, New Buffalo’s album Somewhere, Anywhere (2007) is full of Sally Seltmann’s beautiful voice. Her very clean bright sound is permeated with innocence, gentle humor and hope, but without being in the slightest bit overdone. Lovely, emotional and utterly memorable, New Buffalo makes you ache and smile, all at once.
6 strings. By six string the world is hung over the abyss. String one - for music, the others too. The most distinct movement of what is called popular music is the strumming of the the strings, mostly six. People tried to move differently throughout the year, but none managed to over come this basic principal of modern music - the strum.
Once kids, today a bit older. When you grow old a bit of melancholia drowns in you, as if you were a pond. When still young enough, the water in the pond are still clear. Still a child, and life are still a merry-go-around. Later on everything might crumble, at least at some points, but wait, this time is not yet here, because Psapp are only kids. They started as babies, and now they are a bit older, some sort of grown ups, or grown ups wanna-bees (bees!). Now melancholia has entered their life, time goes by and it sinks deep inside, but Psapp are still Psapp, and still eternal children playing around. The music is touched by time, tainted (for the better) with a bit of melancholia, but is still the childish celebration it was on the first record. Psapp might grow old in a graceful way, and will give us many more glimpses into the journey.
New Broken Social Scene video for “Fire Eye’d Boy.” Features the band members in boot camp-like training and is rumoured to be making fun of Canadian Idol. The idea followed Kevin Drew’s comments on Canadian Idol participants at the 2006 Juno Awards. One of the best videos that came out lately.
First of all, yes I want to DJ in the street. I thought about this tonight while listening to this happy piece of music. I want to just take my laptop and a loud pair of speakers and stand in the middle of a full street on a Friday morning, where most people go by, and put on some happy good music. People will go by, normal people, who have no idea about music, they will stop for a minute or two and then go with a smile on their faces, and they won’t even know why. The problem is of course to get power to the speakers (I can always take my stereo system, it’s good enough). So if you have any idea, I will be happy to here. I want to get going with this and do it as soon as possible.
