Gyspy And The Cat

The Gypsy And The Cat are a pair of music men worth calling home about this summer. Heck, tell all your friends about this wonderful two-piece from Victoria, Australia. With a smooth, soft rock and electro combination, you can easily pick apart their musical influences cited on their myspace. Hints of Fleetwood Mac, Simon and Garfunkle and many others shine through on each piece of wonderful they've blessed the blog worlds with thus far.

Perhaps they can better introduce themselves...

"Good day, turn left, good day look right. Enters a gypsy and a cat. We are the ones who augment from Melbourne town, and wander through the night, guiding your dreams, away from fiends, in search of time by candle light. Have you seen us in the haze of the abyss, as you gaze through the moonlit night outside your foggy window light. We hide from time to time so may you hear our chime, and we hope it may find your heart like star light from such height. Enjoy our crescendo of melody and rhyme, we love having you here."

Take these tracks to work, family picnics, the beach and anywhere you feel happiest. I truely believe the direction these two lads are heading is as promising as a campfire with 0ldtime friends. Embrace and share this magic today, tonight and in the future. Enjoy!

All You Hear Is Radio Goo-Goo

Over the years, I've become increasingly annoyed by local radio stations and TV shows who pump out crap content all day long. Now I understand that they play to the masses but popular music (or what they see as popular music) isn't what I look to them to provide. Local stations and shows should update us on local talent and strive to have these artists heard. Major stations continue to play the same crap content all day everyday until even my mom and dad know the words to the latest Lady Gaga shit mix. That being said, I'd like to give praise to the stations that still have this outlook and thank them for pushing quality music through the air waves for people like me to enjoy. Local college and university stations have caught my attention in past years and I've been known to listen weekly to hip-hop and house/electro broadcasts. In short, I urge you to check out some nearby stations who could be flying below your radar. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I think you'll find today's content to be both uplifting and thought provoking. Voila!

Miike Snow's 'Burial' off their debut self-titled album. I really enjoyed the direction this new band has gone with this video. The reality of it all is a very refreshing approach. Thanks to
Daniel Wirtberg & Jonas Rudström for directing this great video.


Next we have Air France's 'No Excuses' of their EP titled No Way Down. I just recently featured this track for download and I suggest if you haven't given it a listen, to do so! The video is pretty simple and features a solo surfer in his element. I wish to feel a freedom like this someday. I've also included their video for the song 'Collapsing At Your Doorstep' which was also featured in past posts.

Miike Snow

Miike Snow (named after Japanese film director Takashi Miike) are a Swedish band who formed in 2007. The band consists of Andrew Wyatt, Christian Karlsson (Bloodshy & Avant) and Pontus Winnberg (Bloodshy & Avant). Their debut self-titled album was recorded in Stockholm and released in May of this year on Downtown Records. The album features the single 'Animal' which has been cooking talk since it's release in February with remixes coming from the likes of Fake Blood and Treasure Fingers. Expect to see more goodies from them in the near future and get down on these samplers for now! Hopefully they help you get through all these days 'Sans Soleil'. Thanks to blousesydney for the heads up!

Canada Day


Oh Canada! I've spent most of my day watching the history channel tucked out of the rain and gloominess that has betaken us on Canada's 142nd Birthday, but in this time I've indulged my mind with the history of our many great innovations, courageous soldiers of war and above all great people of the incredibly patriotic country we live in and love. I urge you to do the same. Get out tonight and show your colours no matter the weather. Light your works of fire and celebrate a country that has been much like a warm hug on a cold winters eve for people of all cultures. To some it may mean shelter and refuge from a world that ceased to accept them. To others this country has provided new hopes and opportunities for a better future. Give thanks to all those who made this possible for us and let's continue to keep Canada a peaceful and glorious place. As a tribute to great canadians and country, I have compiled a series of photographs that I hope you enjoy as much as I have.

Happy Birthday Canada!
