I live away from the place I love. My home. Canada. I have been here in Japan for a few months short of 3 years now. Don't get me wrong, Japan is a beautiful country with some beautiful people and my wife is amazing and beautiful. But whenever I hear a reference to Canada I just feel a little warm inside and I say to myself- Go Canada! I remember a couple of years back my buddy Steve back home pla

I guess being a die-hard Radiohead fan, I shouldn't, but I actually like Coldplay. I have since I saw the video for "Yellow" and I looked past my roommate's snarky prediction that I would like them and accepted them all the same. They aren't amazing musicians by any means, and whenever I see Chris Martin in an interview I want to shake him violently- BUT I think musically they just get it. They...

This one takes me back a few years. Yes- I am one of those guys that bought into the grunge movement in a big way back in the 90's. I was realizing the other day, that I sometimes listen to old Nirvana or Soundgarden and I still like Pearl Jam after all these years- but I haven't really gone back and listened to a lot of Alice in Chains in a while. So I waded through my collection a bit and pulled

Jeff Buckley is one of the great tragic stories of modern memory in music. Though I was unaware of the CD largely at the time it came out, he released a beautiful ground breaking, alternative album with tones of a crooner in Grace. The album was produced by one of the top grunge producers of the time having worked with Nirvana and Sonic Youth- he seemed an odd choice for such a soulful singer(Andy

When Thom and Johnny started premiering songs back at the Ether fest in 2005- I was really hyped for the quality of the songs that would be on the next album. Alright, I am a bit of a Radiohead die-hard - but really the quality of feeling and depth of a song like Arpeggi really speak of their older songwriting at least of the caliber of Kid A- I seriously doubt they will release an album that soun

When I first looked at downloading some songs from the Help: A Day in the Life charity album, my only real goal was to get the new Radiohead song. While "I want none of this" is a beautiful song reminiscent of "I will"- I was disappointed that it seemed more like just Thom singing at his piano not a band effort. At that time I was really digging the Demon Days CD and saw they had this song on the

I missed the train when everyone was getting into Mazzy Star in the 90's, which really surprises me as it really fit into a lot of the stuff I did like at the time. Last year when a friend played for me some songs from Bavarian Fruit Bread I needed to get myself a copy.Hope's voice hisses away softly at us lulling us into a relaxed state where we revel in the soft tones that she paints for us.
