I was just introduced to The Darcys interpretation of Steely Dan's AJA. What I've heard so far of this album is compelling, and you can download it for free on their website:

The Globe and Mail didn't give it a very good review; they didn't believe an interpretation of of AJA was necessary, and maybe that's true. But it doesn't mean the music isn't engaging.

I was sitting in a coffee shop a couple of days ago and discovered James Vincent McMorrow. He's got a great live video on his site:

A new EP of his was just realeased on itunes today called "We Don't Eat".
It is well worth a listen.

I didn't even know Mark Lanegan had a new album out. Looks I'll be making a visit to HMV tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!

Holy Shit Lightning Bolt is Sick!!
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

Port of Morrow leaked just after the Shins started streaming it on iTunes this week.
It is definitely different, but of course it is with only Mercer being the original bandmate. Nonetheless it does still have his type of lyrical representation that his music always has, just maybe not the high energy of songs like Kissing the Lipless or Sleeping Lessons. POM just makes me think of softer cuts off Chutes Too Narrow.

Plants and Animals - another great Canadian group - came out with a new album at the end of February called "The End of That".
I highly recommend checking it out. :thumb:

Last I remember these guys cancelled some shows abaout 8 years ago in Toronto due to Byrne's issues. I'm stoked to see these guys back; we caught them in Calgary at Mac Ewan Hall back in the late 90's and they absolutely blew the roof off that place. :thumb:
