Adam Cicchillitti – Canciones

Beams – Teach Me To Love
Sometimes when the sun makes an appearance in the middle of winter, a kind of slow heat swallows you whole. You’re still cold, but the warmth washes over your body, and you feel the glow all the way down to your toes. This is the sensation of listening to Toronto psych-folk-pop band Beams’ new album, Teach Me to Love.(CBC Music (First Play))
Big Little Lions – Alive and Well
Charlotte Day Wilson – Stone Woman
On first listen Stone Woman seems immovable, but spend some time with Charlotte Day Wilson’s latest musical endeavour and the six-track EP reveals its emotional and musical complexity.(Exclaim!)
Computer Magic – Danz
Computer Magic‘s Danielle Johnson gave not just one but two shout outs to Peter Pan Donuts and their egg sandwiches. It’s clear that her love for Greenpoint runs deep. So it’s only fair that all of North Brooklyn should give that love back to her when Computer Magic’s newest album Danz is released on February 23.(Greenpointers)

Frigs – Basic Behaviour
The four-piece have been circling the Toronto rock scene for the past few years (formerly as Dirty Frigs), self-producing frenetic, post-punk, grunge-soaked EPs that draw comparisons to PJ Harvey and Sonic Youth. They spent 16 months meticulously crafting this debut, also self-produced, and you can tell. Where their EPs are more of an immediate snapshot, Basic Behaviour is a slower build, one that forces you to engage and sit with the work.(Canadian Music Blog)
Grounders – Coffee & Jam
A followup to the band’s solid eponymous LP from 2015, the upcoming Coffee & Jam sees Grounders effectively hone its delicious postpunk leaning style. From a palette of various sounds, the music is filled with captivating details. The disc was heralded by single “Bringing It In” (track #2) and opens with the groovy “Mickey Can’t Move” which ironically will get you moving.(Spill Magazine)
Mayhemingways – Skip Land
Mayhemingways work as hard as any Canadian band that tours these days. For instance they can tell you which towns sit between Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay from memory, and they can recommend where to eat in rural Saskatchewan. The vastness of their country and the extent of their touring are a surface theme on their second full-length album Skip Land. The title of the album refers to a phenomenon that occurs with CB radios, of which they have one in their tour van. When the signal skips it jumps several thousand kilometers more than normal due to solar activity.(Spill Magazine)
shy kids – in a state
Since their debut Shifty in 2015, shy kids have truly found their niche in creating music that is a mash up of old and new. Recently, they have released their second full length album, in a state which is sure to catch the attention of fans and critics alike. This success, however, was preceded by another path that eventually led them to where they are now. Originally, this wily quartet found their start in the animation and filmmaking industry. Things took a sharp turn when they realized that their boyhood dreams were turning into more of a nightmare. From pain and heartache grew the desire to write songs that addressed the current mental and physical states of each of the band members.(imperfect fifth)
Good morning!
Hi, Russ! Out for now, early (or earlyish) on the bike…
Cancers are not being nice to Canadian personalities, these years.

Good morning everyone!
Greetings and salutations! I was up late last night for Olympic hockey, and then up early again for Olympic curling. Thank goodness for coffee!
Hey, the USA has whupped Canadian ass in curling and in women’s hockey!
It’s actually not a bad thing, when other countries put an end to traditional domination of a given nation. Changing of the guard. Up-and-comers. Not bad, but good.
Hello
I recorded the Hockey final (4am my time) and the recording stopped at the end of OT 🙁
Dang, garf. Look at the highlights today, I guess.
I fall into the bad Canadian category; I have not even looked at a single Olympic event or highlight.
Good morning BTW
@Morgana,
Have you considered transferring your unused Canadian patriotism to someone that could use it more than you?
Every day, several people around the world realize that they were born in the wrong nationality and should, in fact, be Canadian.
Symptoms may include:
A fondness for winter sports,
Cravings for Poutine and Nanaimo Bars,
and Bouts of sarcasm.

I am holding back my bout of sarcasm and not saying that you are already off your rocker so I am not donating
🙁
Don’t be sad. Your alter ego, Wild Racoon is already a Canadian citizen
@Benoit…. the women’s hockey game was fought tooth and nail by both countries, but yes the American’s pulled it out. Happy to say the Canadian made ’em fight hard for it though. Good on both countries.
Well darn, I am not finding any new music that floats my boat today.
I did like Beams but it’s not like it jumped out at me.
Perhaps it is because I am so focused on my Bahamas double header!
am I a human masquerading as a raccoon or a raccoon pretending to be human?
your call
day to day
Cookie!
nom nom nom
I’m going to try Big Little Lions on while I move on in my day
If I don’t make it back today I’ll see you all in a few weeks.
Who ate my cookie?!
Not me!
More new music to check out!
Hi all. I was at the other studio again today.
How dare they keep you from us!
I know right! I will be around tomorrow. 🙂
And now I am off to having Mexican food with German wine. Should be interesting!
I’ll have to have my wine and tacos tomorrow
