gimmie a smile



so the vancouver folk fest is this weekend! i might maybe definitely be there.
the avett brothers are playing tommorow night, along with gadelle, shane koyczan & short story long, bassekou kouyate & ngoni ba and calexico.... all of which i've never heard of, minus shane koyczan. but either way, it'll be fun! especially if avett brothers play this song.
i was just about to wish everyone a happy friday, but it's thursday.. but it feels like friday. i think it's the sunshine.
... enjoy!

dum diddle dee x 2

i'm so happy i got to see the dum dum girls play in seattle last weekend! they were so good.. even though they just kinda stood there oasis concert style (ewwww) but i love them and loved hearing them live - they played my two favorite songs! (down below)

they played at the high dive with 2 other bands, the crocodiles and past lives. PAST LIVES, cheaaaaa. i've been listening to some of their music after seeing them.. i'll post some of their stuff soon...ish.














all this time.

so i took a train down to seattle this past weekend and listened to this song all the way there... breakin' only for a burger and a beer.. mmmmm.




HAPPY CANADA DAY!

summer solstice.

tally me banana

FRIDAY-OH... me say day me say day me say day-ay-ay oh...
it's weekend time already!
i'm going to seattle next weekend, on a train! a train! i've never been on one and i'm so excited. what's even more exciting is that i'm going to see the dum dum girls play while i'm there. i posted their new album earlier this month.. or last month.. or april... yeah, april. check that out here.

i'm a rattlesnake babe.

guess whose baaaaaaack?!

..... THE REASON! finally! i've waited SO long for this album. fools is set for release july 6th and i can't wait to hear it. i posted a song ("this is just the beginning") off their last album back in february so if you wanna check that out.. check that out.. here. but that's not gonna be as exciting as checking out the video for "the longest highway home"... the first single off of fools!
sidenote: ange... halifax 2007.

raindrops like bullets.

deer tick's new album the black dirt sessions came out today! june 8th. whoa. camping weekend is soon.
i'm a sucker for "20 miles", a song off the new album. check it out!

big jet plane


angus and julia stone are a brother sister duo from australia who make goooooood music.
my sister played me one of their songs ("big jet plane") off their new album down the way and i thought it was so nice. so! i listened to another and another and another and..... it's a pretty good album.
this song has been playing in my head alllllllll day. check it/them out.


YES!

i saw mumford & sons!
well, actually, i didn't see them (it was so crowded!) but i definitely heard them. the peak put off the free secret show outside of a restaurant in yaletown. i took a few videos but the sound isn't that great (mainly cause i'm singing along....) aaaaand i couldn't actually see them so i don't think i'll post it.
"awake my soul" was the first song they played.. or maybe the second. one of them. they played 4!
