Is this song on the radio yet? If you have a hi-fi beside you right now turn it on and tell me if this infectious pop gem from Ria Mae is on it, because it should be. I posted this Classified-produced track a month or so ago and since there’s now a video for it,(…)

A.A. Wallace – Offline
I’m not sure if there’s an official genre we can attach to the music being made by A.A. Wallace (the release for his new single mentions “bedroom disco”, which I enjoy more than anything with “house” in it), but I know this: I like it. We’ve already posted a couple jams from the former Sleepless(…)
Shop Local:: Shadow Folk
Emerging from a cloud of dank smoke and thrift store record hunts, Halifax’s Shadow Folk explores the sun-kissed, twisted folk that is defining the Halifax scene as of late. The quartet could easily be paired with – or compared to – Quaker Parents, but Shadow Folk deserves credit for how well they pull off this(…)
Halifax Jazz Fest ’12:: Deltron 3030
Deltron 3030 is playing the Halifax Jazz Fest this year. This is kind of a big deal. I don’t want to overstate it, but if you were looking to put together a list of seminal underground hip hop records, I think you could make a good case for the inclusion of Deltron 3030′s self-titled debut.(…)
The Extremities – Dial Tones f. Ghettosocks, Lushlife & Ambition
Happy 4th of July! This isn’t really the ideal holiday for a Canadian-centric music blog to celebrate, but I actually have the perfect video for the occasion. The slick looking new clip for Dial Tones off The Extremities amazing last album The Mint Condition is chock full of the things most Americans hold dear: fireworks,(…)
BOOM:: Homo Duplex 7″ is better than you
I’m slippin’. Must be all that Zima I’m sippin’. Homo Duplex – the sonic and stylistic fusion of husband and wife duo Kristina Parlee and Ron Bates – is one of my favorite local acts and somehow they’ve been streaming their contribution to the Noyes 7″ series for almost two months and I didn’t notice.(…)
Writers’ Strike Remixes Part One
I don’t want to bum you out, but this may be the only precipitation-free day we get to enjoy this week. Well, that’s if you believe the weather-telling device or person of your choice, and as someone who’s in the geriatric division as far as music blogging is concerned, I certainly don’t. And if you(…)
Devon Sproule – Now’s The Time
I know the sun has finally come out in force today here in Halifax, but Devon Sproule is playing the Carleton tonight with Mike O’Neill and this is likely going to be worth venturing inside for. O’Neill is of course a longtime Hill fave, and the enigmatic Sproule looks, or rather, sounds, like a talent(…)
Cold Warps – Slimer
It’s Wednesday, and the temperature is still hovering around the Mendoza Line-esque 10 degrees it’s been near all week, so I’d say we need a little something to give us a jolt, wouldn’t you agree? Even if, like the Ack on his T.O. biz trip, you’re in warmer climes, just go along with my premise,(…)
Wordburglar – 3RDBURGLAR
Hey there friend. Tell me, do you enjoy rap music, comic books, baseball or Star Wars? If you enjoy any of those things, I think I have an album you might enjoy. If you like all of those things, there’s really no way you aren’t going to lose your shit when you hear 3RDBURGLAR, the(…)
