PGI#1: Watasun, The Miles Davis Jam. from playground.is on Vimeo.

I wrote a while back about Playground and the video has finally been edited and put out there for mass consumption.

Enjoy... it was fun.

First Nations - Black Beach

I have been obsessed with First Nations ever since I first heard the Black Beach album several months ago. I don't know why I have not written about them on here but I guess it's better late than never, right? The songs are just full of life and create that "oh-so-gooey" feeling inside with each and every re-listen. Definitely another highly recommended album from 2011.

Indoor Voices - 38 Stories

I was sent an amazing song the other day by a couple of friends in Toronto. I can't get enough of it and I really think everyone should have a listen.

The story behind Indoor Voices is a unique one. Six friends wanting to give Jonathan, the songwriter, a bachelor party to remember booked surprise studio time to record a song of his choice. Each member of the impromptu band took the song for a few weeks before and developed their own parts. Three hours of jamming and six takes later, you can hear the result.

Recorded to a click track, all studio parts were later added to Jonathan's own home recordings of the song, hence "mash-up," and I just can't get enough of the amazing track.

Have a listen:

Timber Timbre - Creep on Creeping On

Yes, I understand I write about these guys far too much but half way through the new album, Creep on Creeping On, I realized I had at least one more post to write. I will keep it short and sweet. In fact, if many of you have read my past posts about Timber Timbre, you know that I absolutely love them so I am sure you can guess what I think about the new album.

Get your hands on it. It's amazing, wonderful, and is already a masterpiece in my mind. It's just that simple.
