And we're back. Podcasts have been few and far between this fall, but not for lack of love or music. Just lack of time. But this week we've got 6 songs to share with you that you may not have heard yet. It's a little heavy on stuff I really like... which will either appeal to you or it won't. But tough, it's my podcast, eh? ;-)Featuring the Phonemes ("April, Let’s Send His Colleagues An Email").

TorontoAn interesting, exciting double-billing of electro bands, Toronto's Woodhands and Junior Boys, originally from Hamilton, stopped in at Toronto's Lee's Palace Friday night. Woodhands' energetic, in-your-face electro-pop is a guaranteed party starter; Junior Boys are much more about sexy grooviness. To Woodhands, you jump and scream. Junior Boys call for more restrained behaviour (at least...

We Say Die! are on tour, promoting their new album, XXXX. The first and only time I saw this band was durin...

One of the country's top folk rock bands, the Wooden Sky, released their sophomore full-length album---If I Don't Come Home You'll Know I'm Gone---this summer. (I liked it; still do.) To celebrate the release, the men went on the road, playing backyards, living rooms, rooftops, and other alternative spaces. Filmmaker Scott Cudmore went with them:(Part 2 of the documentary is up here, and look f...
