    Do you see a pattern? ;-)


  • Soon to be an mp3 on your favourite file-sharing service ;-) : dotmusic: "The White Stripes are to release another track from their acclaimed current album 'Elephant', on 7-inch. 'There's No Home For You Here' is out on March 15 ...the vinyl-only release will apparently be backed with a ten-minute live version of 'Ball And Biscuit'."


  • I purchased the limited edition version of the new CD by Air called 'Talkie Walkie' for $15.99 at Futureshop. It's an awesome price because it also includes a DVD that includes, according to the official Astralwerks Air site, " a 35 minute film of Air in concert with behind the scenes footage." Can't wait to listen to it!


  • I've been listening to Emm Gryner's 'Girl Versions' CD over the last couple of days, and I'm struck by the beauty of her versions of Def Leppard's 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' and Thrush Hermit's 'The Day We Hit The Coast'. It's just her voice and her piano. She manages to evoke emotions that you just don't get with the original versions.
