My deepest apologies for the 3 people who read this on a weekly basis! We’ve slackened a bit, but that does not mean we’ve forgotten. I think instead of one off daily posts, we will bring you more interesting and nice posts a couple times a week. Quality not quantity. So as a special treat, here are three songs that have really grabbed me recently. First off, Bear Hands channels Isaac Brock, followed by a brand new New Pornographers song off their up and coming album and to finish it all off, Pattern Is Movement with an awesome math rock drum track set to sparse and dainty keyboards and powerful vocals.

I also apologize for the lack of posts as of late, but hopefully some solid tunes will be the peace offering that you need. Starting us off is one of By the End of Tonight’s more melodic tracks, followed by jj, a Swedish band that showed up on a ton of “Best of 2009″ lists but I failed to even know they existed. Finishing us off is my biggest singer/songwriter crush, Mariee Sioux, who is probably my absolute favourite female vocalist.
Wow! As a lover of all things Frog Eyes I was very very very excited to hear about an upcoming album, and now a song is making it’s way around the Internet! I have always thought that Frog Eyes have only improved with every release, and judging by this track, this album will be no different. It is unmistakably Frog Eyes, and unmistakably amazing. Even from the very first howl, you know the emotion that we all know and love is more than present, and as with Tears of the Valedictorian the production is fantastic. Oh, and its nice and long. The track is called “A Flower in A Glove” and it will be featured on the upcoming LP “Paul’s Tomb: A Triumph”, it is due out on Frog Eyes’ new label Dead Oceans on April 27th, no mention of a preorder, but we shall keep our fingers crossed. Here is a track list for all the nerds.
Nothing like starting your day by plunging your foot into an ankle deep puddle on your mad dash to get out of the rain. Now I have a soaked sock and a squeaky sneaker. It looks like tomorrow might be an okay day, so lets keep our fingers crossed and listen to some great tunes.
Bad News! Vancouver is still evenly covered with depressing grey clouds. It sucks, but in reality I am sure that 85% of Canada would prefer rain with +8°c rather than ACTUAL winter with ACTUAL snow. But weather is relative and we love to complain about weather, and Vancouverites love to complain about not bike riding and gardening in JANUARY. In any case, the good news is that I have some tracks to warm you up(or dry you out).
It was a another grey morning in Vancouver, but things seem to be looking up. The Sun is trying its best to peek through the clouds and have a visit, so lets give it some encouragement by listening to some great music and hope the brave and valiant Sun kicks some evil raincloud ass and lets us go outside tonight.
When you find an album that spans every moment and perfectly backdrops your day to day, you’ve got something great. Here is a collection of albums we felt portrayed the very best of the year 2009.
We love cover songs here at Bluegrassish.com, so we’ve banded together to pick out a couple of songs each for you to enjoy. Also there is talk of a Bluegrassish Podcast being made. I personally am a avid podcast listener so this seems to be a good way to break into that media form. If you have an interest or suggestions for the podcast please do drop us a line.

The song is called “Prisencolinensinainciusol”. Written by the Italian artist Adriano Celentano in 1972. It sounds like the lyrics should be English but they are pure gibberish. I never heard non-English speaking people trying to emulate English. Its pretty cool.
