Support Canadian Indie Media

As a fan of all things indie I thought I'd pass along a plug for The Tyee.
I've been a fan of this website since it started up a few years ago and while I don't always think they have the best content they do have the right spirit.

Its also a great place to get local Canadian and British Columbian news. So its worth a check-out (I imagine anyone who reads my blog is probably already familiar with this site)!

Excess of Exuberance

Having been locked in a cage for a month sorting out papers from last semester (and the struggle continues) I thought I'd burst on the scene to update the blog with some songs that have been keeping me motivated and entertained over the last few weeks.

I know usually one song per week/month is usually enough for people to digest when it comes to new music but I think this crop is especially good.

In it we have some psych rock and experimental rock from The Acorn and As The Poets Affirm. To finish the set, however, I'm leaving you with The Weakerthan's cover of The Rheostatics "Bad Time To Be Poor." You don't hear songs like this nowadays on the indie scene or anywhere really and its a welcome sound to hear.

Bon Apetit!

Sun Rise @ York University

Too much caffeine and a paper on Karl Marx helped produce this photo at dawn.
The white buildings in the distance are Shell Oil tanks.
Not an epic view but at the right time even the mundane can take on a new life.
