A Toronto-based mp3 blog. I really suck with slogans and titles. As you can see the title of this blog sucks but I hope you'll ignore it and just enjoy the music we like

The Happy Hollows - Imaginary EP Review
The Happy Hollows are a band out of LA with their digital press promoter, telling fans of Kim Deal, Debbie Harry and Karen O take notice. First and foremost from those 3 comparisons, it’s clear this band is female fronted but are those comparisons fair?
The first track Lieutenant starts off with a Yeah Yeah Yeahs [...]
Fleet Foxes, Okkervil River and EODM Music Videos!
I’m doing a little filling in so I’m just going to do a small post that includes some videos and old mp3s.
Lost Coastlines features the use of TV’s for heads (another use of TV’s like in their video for Our Life Is Not A Movie or Maybe) which turns out to be some workers. Probably [...]
Slim Twig’s Vernacular Violence Review
Slim Twig - Vernacular Violence
After some self-releases, Slim Twig signed with Paper Bag Records to release the Derelict Dialect EP on April 1st, followed soon after by this EP. He describes his own genre as “concrete rockabilly,” but Slim Twig’s music is unlike anything I’ve heard.
The music here creates atmosphere using [...]
Lindstrom - Wherever You Go I Go Too Review
I really wanted to check out Lindstrom’s critically acclaimed release Where You Go I Go Too. I wanted to see what the fuss was all about and more importantly I wanted to check out what the artists out of Norway were doing. I couldn’t find this album at first but I jumped at the opportunity [...]
The Kills - Midnight Boom Review
The Kills have been playing steadily through my headphones these last few weeks. They have overtaken the hundreds of artists on my ipod, even distracting me from Philosophy Bites podcasts. Some feat! I knew an addiction was in the cards as soon as I heard “The Tape Song”, which is the third track on Midnight [...]
Elbow - Seldom Seen Kid Review
Elbow’s The Seldom Seen Kid shocked quite a few people when it was announced as the Mercury Prize winner as it beat out the likes of Burial’s Untrue and Radiohead’s In Rainbows. I really didn’t check out many albums on the Mercury shortlist for one reason or another. I didn’t like British Sea Power’s Do [...]
Women - Review
Numerous associations spring to mind when coming across a band named after “the fairer sex”. Primary ones being that this could be a group of agitprop feminists, satirical jocks or even lovers of the Charles Bukowski novel of the same name. In fact, Women are an all male four-piece from Alberta who have just released [...]
Jack’s Mannequin - The Glass Passenger
The long awaited arrival of one of the most anticipated albums this year has finally been released today, The Glass Passenger. This is Jack’s Mannequin’s sophomore effort, three years after their successful debut was released. Not to be mistaken with Everything In Transit, The Glass Passenger is a style of Jack’s, listeners have yet to [...]
Caribou’s Andorra Wins Polaris Prize
Caribou aka Daniel Snaith won the Polaris Music Prize and taking home the 20,000 cash prize for Canada’s best Canadian album. I gave the album 4 out of 5.
I guess I’m not surprised at all. Reading an article on Friday on the artist’s choice for the prize hinted at Caribou’s Andorra. I’m not mad at [...]
We reached 500 Posts Bitches!
That’s right, number 500! It’s really only 500 by number as I lost count awhile ago because I actually don’t know when I started this blog. Allan’s World of Music is a horrendous blog name especially with multiple writers but hey I guess I never thought much of a music blog when starting it.
But just [...]
