Trudging through the endless podcasts available through the iTunes Music Store, I came across a surprise podcast (well to me, looks like they’ve been doing this for quite some time). The CBC Radio 3 podcast featuring Canadian indie music. I don’t know about the quality of the music, but a quick peek through the past playlists and it can’t be all that bad since they’ve featured some of my favorites, like; Metric, Tegan & Sarah and The Arcade Fire. I’m listening to it right now, and I’ll report back as to the quality of the music I find. But if you wanna get in on the action head on over to the iTMS or CBC Radio 3’s Website.
I thought I might share some of the albums that I can’t get enough of right now.
Metric – Live it out (2005)
Interpol – Antics (2004)
Placebo – Sleeping with Ghosts (2003)
The Arcade Fire – Funeral (2004)
Jurassic 5 – Quality Control (2000)
Check em out if you haven’t heard them yet. If you need a copy just gimmie a shout I’m sure I can hook you up

Lately I’ve been going through my music collection and adding ratings to all my songs. In the process I have discovered some hidden gems that I forgot I had or didn’t know I had in the first place (I download a lot of stuff… so i don’t get a chance to listen to it all sometimes). But anyway I had a listen to an artist thats been in my player for a while. Her name is KT Tunstall and after pecking through the album there were a few great songs that stood out, but one in particular caught my attention. It’s a tracked called “Blackhorse and the Cherry Tree.” Fantastic track. So I decided to google her and came across a video of her performing it live, and I like it even better now!
She is a one woman band! And i mean that literally. Loopbacks, guitars, tamborines… it was all amazing! You need to see it for yourself!
Google Video of KT Tunstall performing “Blackhorse and the Cherry Tree”
This particular song she’s very Melissa Etheridge, but a lot of her other tracks she’s more Dido with a grittier voice. Anyway check it out, let me know what you think.
… because its gotta be less addictive then organizing my frakin music collection! Where the hell did the past three hours go?!
I have been slowly picking away at my massive music collection and organizing them in iTunes with high res cover art and proper tag information that I manually lookup on AMG. Sure there are programs out there that will do most of this for me, but they don’t get the information from AMG (which is pretty much the only source that I trust implicitly) and the covers are low res. Sure you could call me a quality snob, but hell… ive spent a lot of time amassing this collection. It deserves the best!
Anywho…. im a geek….
