deadmau5 – where’s the drop?
Over the decade and a half or so of deadmau5’s career, the Canadian electronic music producer born Joel Zimmerman has been pored over and examined in detail by a rabid press. The fact that he found fame and no small amount of artistic respect while wearing a giant mouse head made the man a mystery (Marshmello was taking note), and all the more attractive to the media.(LA Weekly)
Harrison Brome – Body High
Body High is a four-track EP — and it’s too early to gauge if Harrison Brome has staying power. The Vancouver-raised musician delivers peak bedroom-produced pop and R&B-flavoured vibes, hitting all the required notes for streaming playlist consumption.(Exclaim!)
Lindi Ortega – Liberty
Lindi Ortega’s fifth album Liberty is inspired by Italian composer Ennio Morricone. Unlike her traditional country albums, Ortega’s concept album, recorded in Nashville with Skylar Wilson, fits a three-act structure where each act has a separate and distinct temperament.(Exclaim!)
Snake Eyes Seven – Medicine Man
Over the years SNAKE EYES SEVEN has continued to evolve as a great band should, musically and professionally. The new SNAKE EYES SEVEN is a group of seasoned metal veterans. Cam MacLeod validates the band’s credibility and solidifies the band’s musicianship as a whole. Bassist Mike Cillis yields the ‘heaviness’ to catapult the songs forward. Yet it’s the driving force of drummer Erik Young that wraps the package neatly into monstrous metal sound. The Sabbath-esque qualities of SNAKE EYES SEVEN still remain evident but now vocalist Danny Deane has the pure talent to deliver strong and powerful vocals with warm melodies yet he retains that raspy growl as needed. SNAKE EYES SEVEN is the complete package that continues to churn out great music time and time again. It is time for fans to gather in masses and really discover SNAKE EYES SEVEN.

Good morning!
hello
Good day!
Hello hello!
The Weather Station’s on q today, song at 10:25 EDT.
Just lovely, I bet.
*30* is what she sings (w/full band); it’s the ‘single’ from her latest, I think.
Very few singers get to me as much.
Off cycling!
Is anyone listening to the Said the Whale podcast Demoitis? It’s only 2 episodes in, but I’m enjoying listening to musicians talk about their creative process, and how they are putting songs together.
@Janet, I should give that a listen
@Garf – It’s pretty fun. I’ve also started listening to Mike on Much.
@b from o I really like the new Weather Station album. I was a bit disappointed in the performances I saw last month though. Clarification; the new album sounded to me like they grew a lot musically but their live show was very similar to what a heard five years ago. As I took the ferry from Vancouver Island to Vancouver in between the back to back shows I saw I went back and listened to the full album again. Great production but also the addition of violin, flute, horns and a back up singer took it to the next level for me. I have read no liner notes so feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Still love the album.
@janet I would spend some time listening to the STW podcast. Where did you find it?
So an American performer has the top billing spot at Kaslo Jazz Etc this year; Shakey Graves.
Anyone ever seen them live?
It seems everyone has headed out to start eating chocolate so I guess I will do the same.
Happy Easter long weekend.
See you after the gorging!
Hi morgana!
I just dropped in and was catching up. I really enjoy Shakey Graves who is a him more than a them. I saw him at Interstellar Rodeo last year. He will be at RFF this year as well. We were seriously thinking of going to Kaslo still but haven’t made any concrete plans.
I should check out those Said the Whale podcasts too.
There will be an Easter/Spring playlist tomorrow.
I loved that last album of The Weather Station, sorry to hear her live performance didn’t live up to your expectations morgana.
Kaslo looks really good! We will have to discuss this more.
Lindi Ortega’s new album should be really good as well. I look forward to hearing it. I look forward to hearing deadmau5 as well.
I only had one release scheduled so I had to seek out a few more but couldn’t find many preview streams
We do what we can right?
yup, but some of us can do less than others
I do appreciate all you do.
I am off. I will check in tomorrow with the playlist. 🙂
Morgana – I don’t know if you’ll be back to read this, but the STW podcast is available on iTunes (or I think it’s called Apple Podcasts now), and Google Play, and I believe they are putting it up on Soundcloud as well. If I forgot in my comment up there, it’s called Demoitis
