		<title>Scratching the Surface of Atlantic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
While traveling on a trip to China and Asia, I discovered the ambient orchestral folk sounds of Surface Of Atlantic while scouring for local music in Taiwan.  It was playing while I was deeply rummaging unsuccessfully through their sample music stations at the Taiwan National Film Centre.
After speaking broken English/Mandarin with the friendly staff to [...]]]></description>

For the past 5 years I’ve been holding a holiday party in the beginning of December, to kick off the festive season.  Last year we brought in a live act to play a blend of electro-jazz during the party. For our 5th Anniversary, we decided to bring it to the next level.

Montrealer&#8217;s Arcade Fire posted a cheeky postcard giving clues to a new song being released.  It states the following:
Howdy yall- Just finishing up pressing our new 12&#8243;. Should be in stores in the next couple weeks. God willing. Good luck with finals. See you this summer!&#8221;
It should be part of their upcoming release that&#8217;s scheduled [...]]]></description>

Band of Skulls and the Whigs
Mod Club &#124;04.28.10
7.5/10
It was a nice warm night in the city to check out one of my latest faves, Band of Skulls at the Mod Club on Thursday night.  I&#8217;ve had a heart-on for this trio ever since hearing their catchy, head boppy track ,&#8221;I Know What I Am&#8221; last [...]]]></description>

Tallest Man on Earth
El Mocombo
04.17.10
9/10
Undivided.  That was the attention Kristian Matsson aka Tallest Man on Earth commanded from the well-dressed folk/indie crowd  this cold Saturday night.  It was a sold out show and highly anticipated return from this unassumingly sweet Swedish singer/songwriter.  His intense scrawl stopped even the peanut gallery from the back bar to have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Sweden&#8217;s latest folk singer/songwriter Kristian Matsson from Tallest Man on Earth comes to Toronto this Saturday.  Matsson has an immediately stark resemblance folk rasp of Bob Dylan but with intricate acoustic finger stylings that balance this scruffy voice.  Although his lyrics don&#8217;t match up to the D-man, he brings it all to life on stage.  With [...]]]></description>

When Ondi Timoner’s explosive documentary Dig! came out in 2004, I was hooked.  Everybody had heard of the Dandy Warhols, having been flung into mainstream success with the poppy anthem “Bohemian Like You”.  If you weren’t listening to the radio anymore, any trip to your favourite watering hole with a relatively current juke-box selection and [...]]]></description>

Sunfields @Rancho Relaxo
01.29.10
I love those Friday nights after a long work week when plans suddenly come together on the fly.  It was one of those evenings when I came across the melodic country/folk sounds of Sunfields at Rancho Relaxo, despite the bone marrow chilling temperature that night. 
Sunfields is the brainchild of frontman and lead singer [...]]]></description>
