Hello, New York City!

By Justin | October 22, 2009

I’m looking down, come help me up And stumbling around trying to fill my cup It’s half empty, been that way all my life So come pour some in and take me out tonight The sun is shining but we stay inside (oh, but we go out at night) We stay in looking for a [...]

Constantines’ “Young Lions”

By Justin | September 27, 2009

Just when I thought Constantines couldn’t put together a song more satisfying than “Young Lions,” they prove me wrong by releasing an amazing acoustic version of the tune. Part of their 2009 release Too Slow for Love, featuring seven alternate takes of songs originally released as part of their 2008 album Kensington Heights, the acoustic [...]

Joel Plaskett’s “Through & Through & Through”

By Justin | May 30, 2009

I’ve always been a fan of The Joel Plaskett Emergency, especially the songs “Fashionable People,” “Snowed In,” “True Patriot Love,” and most of all, “Penny for Your Thoughts.” So, naturally, I was excited when I heard that Joel Plaskett had released a new three-disc set titled, appropriately, Three. Radio 3 added the first single, “Through & [...]

Dan Mangan’s “Robots”

By Justin | May 30, 2009

Dan Mangan’s new song is all horns and handclaps and big, bright choral arrangements—nothing short of a total singalong treat. So take a listen to “Robots” off of his 2009 EP Roboteering, and sing along. You can listen to “Robots” for free at CBC Radio 3’s New Music Canada, and you can find more music by Dan [...]

FemBots’ “Get In the Van”

By Justin | May 30, 2009

I like when the words of songs are easy to understand, like they are in this great FemBots tune, “Get In the Van.” It’s off of their 2008 release Calling Out. You can listen to “Get In the Van” for free at CBC Radio 3’s New Music Canada, and you can find more FemBots music on iTunes, [...]

Arkells’ “John Lennon”

By Justin | April 27, 2009

I haven’t been able to find lyrics for the Arkells’ song “John Lennon” anywhere on the Interweb, so I made an attempt to transcribe the lyrics. If you can figure out the parts I’ve missed, or if you have a correction, please let me know, because I’m currently obsessed with this bouncy tune and I’d [...]

Hexes & Ohs’ “H-H-Highschool”

By Justin | March 12, 2009

This song by Canadian indie band Hexes & Ohs, a self-described Montréal electro-pop duo, is my current obsession. There’s something cute and romantic about the video that I didn’t originally get from just the song itself. I don’t know how I feel about the difference. In any case, I’m glad I’m not the same old [...]

Said The Whale’s “Better for You”

By Justin | February 2, 2009

This song is really good, and also seemed poignant after my earlier post. I cannot fulfill your heart tonight I love the way you sleep when you’re angry The way the moon reflects such a beautiful light I’ve got my thoughts wrapped up in you I’ve got my head all messed up with you So, [...]

Said The Whale’s “Last Tree Standing”

By Justin | January 23, 2009

This song is my latest obsession. My favorite line is the fourth. My horizon, jet black mountain, you’re crumbling into the sea And little city, you’re still so young, but you got so dirty Hey, old ocean, are you still holding on? You look so sad and empty Fires burning, forests falling, for evergreen, forever [...]

Said The Whale’s “The Light Is You”

By Justin | January 20, 2009

I am thoroughly impressed by each new song that I hear off of Said The Whale’s latest full-length album, Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia. This one is no exception. When it’s so dark I can’t see the light Well, I close my eyes and I think of you Teddy bear, honeybee, don’t forget that You love me more than [...]
