Graham Ko – Outside Looking In (Independent)
Barenaked Ladies And The Persuasions – Ladies And Gentlemen: Barenaked Ladies and The Persuasions
The album blends a rich sound of the Persuasion with the distinct voices of the BNL. There isn’t just one singer/band doing all the sounds and the other backing them. The album blends both them. One example of the mixing, is the remake of BNL ‘The Old Apartment’. The song was on the ‘Billboard Hot 100’ back in the 90’s. Instead of the BNL sing the song, the member of the Persuasions covering the tune; it gives the song a fresh sound. The whole album has flare and style, like you would expect from true professionals.

CO/NTRY – Cell Phone 1 (Fantôme Records)
Though the band likes to think of themselves as genre-neutral, their music cycles through a wide variety of styles with manic indifference. The name — originally “Country” — was chosen because it was confusing and impossible to search for online, in the tradition of enigmatic acts like Boston and Chicago. The new version was selected with greater visibility in mind, provided people can remember how to spell it, or are aware that the name has changed at all.(Northern Transmissions) |
Hollerado – Born Yesterday (Royal Mountain Records)
The title track from Hollerado’s new album, Born Yesterday, almost never made it onto the recording. The Toronto-based quartet’s members thought they had finished writing all the songs for this new album when guitarist Nixon Boyd told his bandmates he had come up with yet another riff.

Hello
G’day!
Good morning!
Happy Good Friday Eve! That’s a thing, right?
Hello hello!
from Urban Dictionary
good friday’s eve
a day of celebration of meat and typically food that “you cannot eat” on good friday. often celebrated the day before good friday.
Huh. Well then I think I’ll have to celebrate with a steak tonight.
I can’t get the CBC’s finicky web player to work today for the Hollerado album, so instead I’m listening to their “111 Songs” on Spotify. It really has 111 songs! That oughtta keep me busy. Although some of them are rather shitty, of course.
Hello all, ya I can’t play CBC Music audio at work either, try it at home Loozrboy (Unless of course you already are at home), if you liked Hollerado before this, I will take a wild guess and say you’ll like this album.
I tried to listen to Raina on R2 this morning but I just got the spinning disc of doom
Has anyone tried this new Radio Player Canada App? Plus for Raina, I think you can get (R2) on the regular CBC App or site, which is outside of CBC Music.
I am at home, and it was streaming for me fine within the last week or so. I suppose I could try disabling my ad blocker (later, maybe).
Hollerado is a little hit and miss for me, but I do like the lead-off single that’s been all over the radio recently.
@Wynnzie, I have a few ways to access R2 if I really wanted to but I just thought I would give it a go when I saw her face during a visit to the site this morning,
Understood Loozrboy, I’m a bit biased but I know what you mean. @Garf you mean you visited the CBC Music site??? WT???
I go there once in a while
Good morning everyone!
The New Pornographers are playing in Bend on Friday! And… I’m not back in Bend yet. 🙁 . I would have totally gone and wrote a post and done photos for it.

Hi all!
Dang Justin! Bad timing. I bought my tickets yesterday for their show here in October. I don’t usually get tickets that far in advance but I have yet to see them live and didn’t want to miss it.

WHOA
Darbar, are you seeing the New Pornographers with Born Ruffians? I’ll be seeing them at the end of the month with Waxatchee, but would rather see them in Canada with Born Ruffians.
@Janet. Yes they will be with Born Ruffians. Bonus!
I’m jealous 🙂
I will have a playlist for tomorrow for those that check in by the way.
@darbar…oh cool. Can’t wait to hear it!
It is an Easter/Spring playlist. It’s a little strange a little dark at one point. hehe
