(photo: mysapce.com/pixies) This week’s 4-pick was going to be a no-brainer. 20 years ago, 1989: the finest year of the modern music era. Don’t believe me? Check this out–one of the earliest QBiM posts that doesn’t make me wince with embarrassment–and tell me if you think differently. The worl...
(photo: Vanessa Heins) I’m pretty positive that I wrote a post sometimes back on Vancouver’s Said The Whale, around the time they released the Talking Abalonia EP in 2007. Un...
(photo: Bryanna Reilly) A while back, a very unassuming and nondescript email came across my screen introducing me to Digits, a Toronto-based musician who started twiddling knobs in his bedroom (and not those kind of knobs–get your mind out of the gutter!) earlier this year, and has now emerged w...
Daniel Romano, Julie, Doiron, and Fred Squire: beautiful music Julie Doiron is someone I’ve never paid enough attention to in these here pages, but it’s not for a lack of interest in her work. Sh...

(photo: Caroline Desilets) What a treat Montreal’s Leif Vollebekk is. His subtle, supple way with a melody and gentle strumming is a welcome relief from some of the over hyped and hyperactive music that floods my inbox. ...
The Rural Alberta Advantage: Hottest band in Canada (photo: Patrick Leduc) Like leaves falling from trees, and smashed Jack-o-Lanterns littering damp and windy streets, the arrival of November is a tell-tale sign that the year is quickly drawing to a close, and we’re in the midst of a season c...
(Josh McIntyre of Little Girls) I’ve pretty much known all week that I’d be following up my Atlas Sound post with one about Little Girls, but I wasn’t sure (and still am not) about what kind of angle I was going to take on it. Back...
(photo: Kristin Klein) Nothing surprises me anymore. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from writing this blog is that was passed for magnificence one year can be reduced to muck the next. Co...
(photo: audiobloodmedia.com) Things around here have been pretty messed up lately, thanks to the giant mess that DreamHost put me in last week when they pulled my plug (and not in that good way). It feels like the groove I was getting into all summer crumpled like a greasy sheet of tin foil...
(photo: Laurie Kang) I’ve been kind of obsessed with some “big sounding” music lately, thanks in no small part to my continued infatuation with the TV show Glee. I th...

My plan this morning was to sit down and write a couple of posts for later in the week, but I was shocked to find news in my Facebook feed (finally it proves some use) that Morrissey collapsed one song into his set at the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon, southwest England...
If you’ve spent any significant time ’round these parts, you’d know I’m fond of a certain trans-sexual folk/country singer from Calgary by the name of Rae Spoon. Bryan ...
