concert review: Martha Wainwright, Basia Bulat @ Harbourfront Centre (Toronto, Ontario), July 1, 2008Martha Wainwright @ Harbourfront (Canada Day 2008)It was a more low-key Canada Day party down at Harbourfront this year, and not just because it fell on a Tuesday. With past Canada Day Festivities at Harbourfront featuring such exciting headliners as Final Fantasy, The Dears and Feist, the excit...

I was looking for a song about assholes this morning and I found I had 3 with that word in the title. I noticed that Martha Wainwright's song "Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole" was in the 2008 SXSW Showcasing Artists group. I forgot all about her 2005 self-titled album. I really quite liked it. I know every post and article has to mention that she is Rufus Wainwright's sister and daughter of L...

Martha Wainwright, sister to Rufus and daughter to Loudon, will release her sophomore album I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too on June 10th, 2008. The racy titled album and follow-up to her 2005 self-titled effort also sports some heavy names. Pete Townshend, the Band's Garth Hudson, and Steely Dan's Donald Fagen, along with her family Rufus, mother Kate McGarrigle, aunt Anna McGa...

MOGStars: 8 out of 10 It's hard to believe that latest release I Know You're Married But I've Feelings Too is only Martha Wainwright's second full album - collaborations with artists ranging from brother Rufus to Snow Patrol, the Canadian-American songstress has firmly established herself with the music scene. And securing assistance on this record from (amongst others) Pete Townshend and Donal...

My unabashed affection for Canadian singer-songwriter Martha Wainwright (of the musical Wainwright-McGarrigle clan) has already been documented here and there in the MOG-iverse. Yet I haven't taken space on my own page to review her second album, the exquisite (and piquantly titled) I Know You're Married But I Have Feelings Too, despite the fact that I've been listening to it day after day sinc...

It was an entertainment twi-night double-header to remember on Friday. And not just because of the good stuff, which was plentiful.First, I caught a late afternoon screening of the surreal Bob Dylan tribute/biopic “I’m Not There,” which was a trip and a half, with multiple actors playing different elements of the American folk-rock icon’s personality during different stages of his life. It

When I was given this poster job, I didn't know too much about Martha Wainwright outside of the obvious musical family connections. After I did a bit of exploration, it became crystal clear that she's a solid talent in her own right.... Check out a tune from her latest... Well worth picking up. She's playing Slim's in San Francisco tonight as part of the always excellent Noise Pop Festival... I...

I really like this new song by Martha Wainwright -- it's free on Amazon as an mp3 download right now, too. Also dig the album cover.

In a recent interview with BBC radio, one could almost hear the audible sigh as Martha fielded the inevitable family lineage questions that seem to haunt her very appearance in a room full of hacks. Unlike any of the Wainwright's, the 32 year old singer/songwriter has the burden of association, and no 'brush off' or diversionary tactics can avoid the "What was Louden like?", or "What about you...

No, not really, but I couldn't resist the title in view of recent events. I'm currently writing up a review of Martha Wainwright's new album "I Know You're Married, But I've Got Feelings Too". Early signs are that it is at least as good as her debut, if not better.Knock It Back!

After searching for about two weeks, I was finally able to find this video and since getting it two days ago I've watched it quite a few times already. Martha Wainwright sang Edith Piaf's "C'est Toujours La Meme Histoire" on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and it was captivating. It is one of those performances where you don't understand even one word of the language but cannot help but keep you...

Martha doesn't mess around when she plays guitar. It's intense and physical and sometimes painful.For more with Martha Wainwright, visit http://www.uncensoredinterview.com/artists/354-Martha-Wainwright

I cant help thinking I missed the initial boom. I remember reading about Martha Wainwright, and even sorta thinking I should give her a spin or 2... but sitting here now, listening to "Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole" I can't help hoping that this is the new face of folk/alt country music... its just plain great.

You ever have a weekend that breaks your heart? A feeling that everything that is good in your life you fuck up?And no amount of drink or whatever fixes it. I just got through a weekend full of lost love and darkness. And perhaps Martha went through some similar times.There nothing easy about being an adult.
