I have been waiting for this show for a while now. Tonight I witnessed what was probably the best concert I will ever witness. My ears are humming in delight and my head is still buzzing. It was outstanding. Almost indescribable, if you ever get a chance to see Animal Collective perform, do not turn it down. Take that chance and grab it by the belt buckle. Pull it close and kiss it. I'm serious. A

Dragonette is finally making a return after a two year absence since their Galore-ious debut (excuse the lame pun, but I just had to). They are greeting us with their forthcoming single, "Fixin' to Thrill" coming out at the end of the month on their second album, also titled Fixin' to Thrill, but to be released around the end of the summer. Something tells me this hot and fancy sophomore effort...

Danger Mouse & Sparklehorse's upcoming "mystery project", Dark Night of the Soul (which is available steaming in full, weeks before its scheduled release at NPR Music) is going to blow us away and easily take the cake as one of the most intriguingly mysterious and dark releases of the year. I promise you that. As a bonus when ordering the album, over at their official site, you get a booklet of...

Black Moth Super Rainbow will be releasing their fourth LP Eating Us, on May 26th on Graveface, and we can't be more excited. In celebration of its upcoming release, I bring you guys "Gold Splatter" and what might be one of new favourite BMSR tracks. It opens with some catchy drumming and doesn't waste any time. The lyrics come in right away, and are backed up with some smooth waves of synth. T...

While this is usually Matt's territory, and I sincerely hope that my mom doesn't read this blog due to all my filthy language, I just wanted to take the opportunity to salute all the hard-working moms out there.

There are too many great things to say about Aaron Funk (a.k.a. Venetian Snares). The first may be a bit biased, but he's Canadian and being Canadian myself, this just adds to the immense respect and I have for him. The second is that his use of sampling is nothing short of outstanding. The third is that the influence he's left on the Breakcore genre, will likely remain forever. The fourth is t...

The first time I heard Basement Jaxx's stunning "Raindrops", it was my last day of school before I headed back home for the summer. I was stressing about the final I had later that night, and was just generally in a bad mood knowing that I'd be leaving my friends really soon.Then I played "Raindrops", and suddenly everything changed. I looked outside and noticed the sunshine. I decided to just ...

Remember how last week I said I almost wrote about Jeremih's hilarious "Birthday Sex"? Well, guess what! It made another big jump on the charts this week, so I get the rare chance to fix a missed opportunity. Because really, when you get the chance to write about something as blatantly awful as "Birthday Sex", you really need to take that.How does one come up with such an atrocity? First, you t...

Mexico is on a serious roll lately. First Children Of The Moon drop us a line, and then I get one of my favourite albums of 2009 so far plopped in my inbox. For free. Thank God for Pepepe.Think of all your favourite electronic artists who rely on samples. Now, place Pepepe among your favourites. His work reminds me of The Avalanches in the way he uses vocal samples over top of flowing hooks to ...

Starlight, in Kitchener, lit up yet again tonight. This time by Toronto rock trio, C'mon. They played their hearts out and added to what was already a great night. My ears are still ringing. Truly, they are the revival (or rebirth, if you will) of rock and the lovechild of bands like Black Mountain, Black Sabbath and Rush (to name a few). Charming the audience isn't hard for C'mon. Whether it's...

The Cool Kids. Ludacris. UGK. All on the "Pennies" beat. Say WHAT? I know I just wrote about the Cool Kids and I've mentioned "Pennies" before, but all I have to say is oh my GOD.I love the way Luda talks about getting $100, 000 per verse, "Unless you're God...or got a Cool Kid on it. Then I might do it for free." I love the way he says he's going to use this cameo to get Mikey and Chuck to gue...

Straight from the ol' inbox comes adorable Mexican synthpop duo, Children of the Moon. They describe the music they make together as "cuteweird" and I admit that I can't think of a better word. That pretty much sums them up musically and they both totally look the part. With beats slightly similar to Sweden's Lo-Fi-Fnk or The Knife and bright vocals running through a vocoder, their tunes remind...
