Remember the Olympics? Although it didn't get as much coverage the Olympics had alot of great free shows and the Paralympics (March 12 - 21) are no different. Among the acts slated to perform at LiveCity Downtown in Vancouver and the Whistler Medals Plaza and Village Square venues in Whistler are Said the Whale, the Weakerthans, Kathleen Edwards, the Trews, Luke Doucet, the Waking Eyes, Rah Rah,

After the year Joel Plaskett has had it should come as no surprise that he cleaned house at home at the East Coast Music Awards. Joel walked away at the end of the evening with Artist of the Year, Male Solo Recording of the Year, Recording of the Year, Single of the Year (Through & Through & Through), Sonwriter of the Year, and Pop Recording of the Year.

Three years ago (thanks to CBC Radio 3), I caught wind of a track by a lady named Basia Bulat, hailing from Toronto, Ontario. The track was called "I Was A Daughter," and from its rollicking percussion to its sweeping viola to Bulat's assured but stunningly tender and tremulous vocals, every part of it romanced me. I was hooked. I soon tracked down more of her material, and ended up purchasing

Two Way Monologues and Hi-Hat have already celebrated their partnership with the release of four compilation CDs, so this time around they're doing it a bit differently.

People remember first records. The first cassette I bought was (embarrassingly) Crash Test Dummies' God Shuffled His Feet. First CD; Treble Charger's Self=Title. The story of my first record starts Saturday morning on my cousin's couch; he and his wife having supported my drinking for the night by providing the most comfortable couch I've had the privilege of sleeping on in a while.

A British Invasion is rarely ever a bad thing and Black Terror's free double-A side single is no exception to the rule. Drawing on influences such a XTC, of Montreal, The Beach Boys and The Unicorns these two songs definitely evoke very good feelings from the listener.

Layers upon layers of textured samples, original music, and deep vibes create Josh Furey’s aptly named debut lp Archeology. It sounds as if it has been dug up from the ages and brought into new life. Sequenced as a whole continuous vibe, but each song is its own entity, first impressions are reminiscent of all the good parts of Moby’s masterpiece Play. Good down-tempo beats like The Things We
