I know nothing about Boxed Wine except that I enjoy their name much than I should and they are from New Jersey (about which they say “It’s not as bad of a place as you think”). In general the notion of boxed wine seems to be one of those jokes I find way funnier than(…)
Like any music festivus worth its salt, the Halifax Pop Explosion takes great pains to try and sure they’ve got a wide array of genres represented by the artists they bring in. This is usually good news for those who like to go for theirs out on the dance floor, and HPX 2012 does indeed(…)
Guess what, Topanga are not American. Turns out they are from Toronto. Perhaps you already knew that, and why wouldn’t you? For the life of me I don’t know why I assumed these four fine gentlemen were from south of the border (they’ve actually been covered by the Ack on the hill before), perhaps it(…)
Well, not in this post, are you insane? So sorry if that title got your hopes up, but STAY TUNED. For some reason, now that the full lineup has been released, I’ve decided it would be a good idea to post a song from every act playing our fine, fog-filled City’s premier music festivus. (…)
Hey everyone, it’s the weekend and there is a lot of music going on in Halifax! I mean there is usually a lot of music in our fair city on a given weekend, but this weekend it seems like there’s an inordinate amount of great music. Don’t you think so? Let’s recap: tonight there’s(…)
In general, most mixtapes have some element of fun to them, but you’re going to have a hard time getting more enjoyment than those done by the best DJ Bedford Nova Scotia ever produced: Skratch Bastid. The man known as Paul Murphy when he isn’t Bastid-izing the Technic 1200′s has to be one of the(…)
Here’s a long-held herohill belief, that, unlike many such beliefs, is likely also held by a vast number of people: DJ Quik is awesome. I should just point you to Quik-authority Jeff Weiss for a much better version of this post, but no matter, I fell like bigging up Quik today, and so I shall.(…)
New music from the Godfather of Canadian hip hop (Question: does Wes have that phrase TM’d yet? He should), well that’s Friday at it’s funnest for sure. Granted I thought of saving these songs for the next edition of the Rap-Sack Backpack, which is named for and inspired by Maestro himself, but I couldn’t wait.(…)
Ok, now we’ve got something! If you’re looking for some sounds to put some pep in your step, and some strut in your Saturday and Sunday for that matter, look no further. Halifax’s DJ Uncle Fester, half of the amazing production/instrumental duo The Extremities, has just released his first mixtape – The Uncle Fester Show(…)
I don’t know what it is about Adventures, the new album from Germany Germany (aka Victoria’s Drew Harris), that qualifies it as Friday Fun material, but it’s what I want to post on and it seems to suit today’s mood rather well. We’re heading into a long-weekend, normally a cause for much rejoicing, but it(…)
