"Gold Rush" - Basia Bulat Eager youth and venerable tradition is a compelling combination, and a perpetual argument against sourpusses who rise with foolish predictability, in every generation, to proclaim that good music ended at some lamented moment in the receding past. Good music never stops arriving; good listening frequently grinds to a halt, however. "Gold Rush" is a particularly...

we've declaimed our affection for basia bulat 's open-throated folk songs on several occasions past. in case you missed all that, though, and still haven't given her a fair listen, you've a chance here to make amends. because this week's episode of our sunday night live series features a terrific set from basia and her band broadcast by radio 3 in canada, during which she opens, as is custom,...
I've posted some of Basia's songs before (find em on my mog page if you wish) but this one found it's way into my shuffle this morning and made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck Enjoy!
Singer-songwriter Basia Bulat does an awesome cover of Same Cooke's "Touch the Hem of His Garment" that I listen to over and over again. On this note, I need to find some songs to post that are not covers. Even though a good cover can be very enjoyable.
during my lunch break i like to split my time wandering through the dual catacombs known popularly as borders and amoeba music. while at borders i often wander the back stacks, lost in oversized coffee table books of art by obscure artists, in a sea of graphic novels, each one a new world just waiting for me to populate it, or better yet in the maze of travel books and guides, each giving me a...

It seems like every year an indie chantreuse pops up and takes everyone by storm (think Feist) while a more complicated, equally impressive female vocalist gets relatively unnoticed (think St. Vincent).I have the feeling Basia will find herself in that second category - but that's certainly nothin' to be ashamed of.
I saw Basia Bulat open for "Final Fantasy":/music/Final_Fantasy on Sunday night. (Owen Pallett's former bandmade Nifty was the first opener, but lets not talk about him ok? Overheard after his set, in a regretful tone, "I passed up a turd sandwich to be here tonight, man!")So Basia was quite a relief! She was not what I was expecting-- she didn't sound like an indie singer-songwriter much at al...
